klp_enable_patch(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is klp_enable_patch(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about one thing: klp_enable_patch — enable the livepatch. periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int klp_enable_patch (struct klp_patch *patch );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• patch — the patch to be enabled, bestie 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the whole vibe: this function initializes the data structure associated with the patch, creates the sysfs interface, performs the needed symbol lookups and code relocations, and registers the patched functions with ftrace. no cap, that's the whole glow-up sequence ✨

And fr fr, this function is supposed to be called from the livepatch module_init callback. that's the intended spot, bestie 🫶

🌈 RETURN 🌈

It hands you back 0 on success, otherwise error 💀. That's it. iconic.
