As previous discussion, maintainers think that patch-level sysfs interface is the only acceptable way to maintain the information of the order that klp_patch is applied to the system. However, the previous patch introduce klp_ops into klp_func is a optimization methods of the patch introducing 'using' feature to klp_func. But now, we don't support 'using' feature to klp_func and make 'klp_ops' patch not necessary. Therefore, this new version is only introduce the sysfs feature of klp_patch 'stack_order'. V1 -> V2: 1. According to the suggestion from Petr, to make the meaning more clear, rename 'order' to 'stack_order'. 2. According to the suggestion from Petr and Miroslav, this patch now move the calculating process to stack_order_show function. Adding klp_mutex lock protection. V2 -> V3: 1. Squash 2 patches into 1. Update description of stack_order in ABI Document. (Suggested by Miroslav) 2. Update subject and commit log. (Suggested by Miroslav) 3. Update code format for some line of the patch. (Suggested by Miroslav) V3 -> V4: 1. Rebase the patch of to branch linux-master. 2. Update the description of ABI Document Description. (Suggested by Petr & Josh) V4 -> V5: 1. Fix the typos from 'module' to 'modules' (found by Josh) Regards. Wardenjohn.
