- update documentation for sysfs, proc, livepatchAlso we should publish somewhere the information about TIF_KLP_NEED_UPDATE flag, e.g. /proc/<pid>/klp_need_update. It is handy to see what process blocks the transition. We have something similar in kGraft, see in_progress_show() at https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jirislaby/kgraft.git/commit/?h=kgraft-4.4&id=1c82fbd7b1fe240f4ed178a6506a93033f6a4bedPatch 13/14 exposes the per-task patched state in /proc, so I think that already does what you're asking for? It doesn't expose TIF_KLP_NEED_UPDATE, but that's more of an internal detail I think.
Heh, I have missed it. Yup, the per-thread patch state info seems to be enough. Best Regards, Petr
