Let me CC live-patching ML, because from a quick glance this is something
which could impact live patching code. At least it invalidates assumptions
which "sympos" is based on.

In a quick skim, it looks like the symbol resolution is using
kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), so I think this is safe? What's a good
selftest for live-patching?

Hi Kees,

I don't think any of the in-tree tests currently exercise the
kallsyms/sympos end of livepatching.

On second thought, I mispoke.. The general livepatch code does use it:

klp_init_object
  klp_init_object_loaded
    klp_find_object_symbol

in which case any of the current kselftests should exercise that.

  % make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch run_tests
