[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.13 0/2] xen/livepatch: Safety fixes

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This pair of patches is long overdue being posted upstream.  For several years
now, XenServer has shipped the 2nd patch as a safety check (seeing as we have
both livepatching and introspection), implemented with some return address
manipulation to turn a void load hook into one which can return -EBUSY.

Andrew Cooper (2):
  xen/livepatch: Add a return value to load hooks
  x86/livepatch: Prevent patching with active waitqueues
