Livepatching uses kernel's internal apply_relocate_add() for dealing with relocations. The only thing you need to do is to make sure that all needed arch-specific info is preserved during a module loading. Specifically mod_arch_specific structure needs to be examined in this respect. See commit f31e0960f395 ("module: s390: keep mod_arch_specific for livepatch modules") for s390 case. But apply_relocate_add() is not implemented on arm yet. I guess it would nice to have it... otherwise we could get to an unpleasant situation. Livepatch module can rely on its livepatching relocations (that is, there are some). apply_relocate_add() returns 0 on arm, so everything seems to be nice and then boom some time later. The question is what happens with normal modules. There are no SHT_RELA records probably.
