Hi there,
this is the v2 of the patchset. The v1 can be found at [1]. There is only one
change in patch 1, which changed the target directory to build the test modules.
All other changes happen in patch 2.
Thanks for reviewing!
Changes from v1:
# test_modules/Makefile
* Build the test modules targeting /lib/modules, instead of ksrc when building
from the kernel source.
# test_modules/test_klp_syscall.c
* Added a parameter array to receive the pids that should transition to the
new system call. (suggedted by Joe)
* Create a new sysfs file /sys/kernel/test_klp_syscall/npids to show how many
pids from the argument need to transition to the new state. (suggested by
Joe)
* Fix the PPC32 support by adding the syscall wrapper for archs that select it
by default, without erroring out. PPC does not set SYSCALL_WRAPPER, so
having it set in v1 was a mistake. (suggested by Joe)
* The aarch64 syscall prefix was added too, since the livepatch support will come soon.
# test_binaries/test_klp-call_getpid.c
* Change %d/%u in printf (suggested byu Joe)
* Change run -> stop variable name, and inverted the assignments (suggested by
* Joe).
# File test-syscall.sh
* Fixed test-syscall.sh to call test_klp-call-getpid in test_binaries dir
* Load test_klp_syscall passed the pids of the test_klp-call_getpid instances.
Check the sysfs file from test_klp_syscall module to check that all pids
transitioned correctly. (suggested by Joe)
* Simplified the loop that calls test_klp-call_getpid. (suggested by Joe)
* Removed the "success" comment from the script, as it's implicit that it
succeed. Otherwise load_lp would error out. (suggested by Joe)
* Changed the commit message of patch 2 to further detail what means "tricky"
when livepatching syscalls. (suggested by Joe)

Sorry Nack on this. Let's not add modules under selftests. Any usage of module_init()
doesn't belong under selftests.
Leave these under lib and use KSTM_MODULE_LOADERS to load these modules that
live under lib.
thanks,
