Both livepatch and BPF trampoline use ftrace. Special attention is needed
when livepatch and fexit program touch the same function at the same
time, because livepatch updates a kernel function and the BPF trampoline
need to call into the right version of the kernel function.
Use samples/livepatch/livepatch-sample.ko for the test.
The test covers two cases:
1) When a fentry program is loaded first. This exercises the
modify_ftrace_direct code path.
2) When a fentry program is loaded first. This exercises the
register_ftrace_direct code path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
