Linus,
please pull from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching.git for-linus
to receive the following updates to livepatching infrastructure for 4.15:
=====
- shadow variables support, allowing livepatches to associate new "shadow"
fields to existing data structures, from Joe Lawrence
- pre/post patch callbacks API, allowing livepatch writers to register
callbacks to be called before and after patch application, from Joe
Lawrence
=====
Thanks.
