KernelVersion: 4.15.0
Contact: live-patching@vger.kernel.org
Description:
A writable attribute that allows administrator to affect the
course of an existing transition. Writing 1 clears
TIF_PATCH_PENDING flag of all tasks and thus forces the tasks to
the patched or unpatched state. Administrator should not
use this feature without a clearance from a patch
distributor. Removal (rmmod) of patch modules is permanently
disabled when the feature is used. See
Documentation/livepatch/livepatch.rst for more information.

Contact: live-patching@vger.kernel.org
Description:

name in kallsyms for the patched object.
There are currently no such attributes.
