Description

In modern data centers, both livepatch and tracing (kprobe, ftrace, BPF, etc.) are expected to work 100% of the time. However, when livepatch and tracing are attached to the same kernel functions, they may negatively affect each other.
In this talk, we will present a survey of the compatibility of livepatch and tracing mechanisms, i.e., whether livepatch and different tracing mechanisms can work seamlessly on the same kernel function(s).
