[PATCH v3 12/15] livepatch: store function sizes

From: Josh Poimboeuf <hidden>
Date: 2016-12-08 18:14:40
Also in: linux-s390, linuxppc-dev
Subsystem: live patching, the rest · Maintainers: Josh Poimboeuf, Jiri Kosina, Miroslav Benes, Petr Mladek, Linus Torvalds

For the consistency model we'll need to know the sizes of the old and
new functions to determine if they're on the stacks of any tasks.
