From 24ebfcd65a871df4555b98c49c9ed9a92f146113 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 09:04:08 -0700 Subject: livepatch/klp-build: Introduce klp-build script for generating livepatch modules Add a klp-build script which automates the generation of a livepatch module from a source .patch file by performing the following steps: - Builds an original kernel with -function-sections and -fdata-sections, plus objtool function checksumming. - Applies the .patch file and rebuilds the kernel using the same options. - Runs 'objtool klp diff' to detect changed functions and generate intermediate binary diff objects. - Builds a kernel module which links the diff objects with some livepatch module init code (scripts/livepatch/init.c). - Finalizes the livepatch module (aka work around linker wreckage) using 'objtool klp post-link'.
