Description

We want to discuss live patching with clang built LTO kernel. We have managed to make it work on top of kpatch now. We would like to discuss:

  • How current comparison with vmlinux binary itself not scalable.
  • How we used clang lto internal flag to compare pre-linker object files.
  • How new special symbols introduced by lto may complicate live patching and how build system needs to adapt from it.
  • Whether and how we can improve kpatch to support comparison with vmlinux itself.
