kpatch vs kGraft
This proposal has been accepted as a session.
One Line Summary
Compare the design and features of kpatch and kGraft and figure out if we can combine the two approaches, or take any other steps to get a live patching solution merged into mainline.
Abstract
- Design comparison
- Feature comparison (kernel)
- Is there any way to combine the kernel implementations?
- Feature comparison (user space)
- Is there any way to combine the user space implementations?
- Should we put the user space tools in the kernel tree?
- What steps can we take to get a live patching solution merged into mainline?
