To apply a patch, Ksplice first freezes execution of a computer
so it is the only program running. The system verifies that no processors
were in the middle of executing functions that will be
modified by the patch. Ksplice modifies the beginning of
changed functions so that they instead point to new, updated
versions of those functions, and modifies data and structures in
memory that need to be changed. Finally, Ksplice resumes each
processor running where it left off.
The bold text yields that only certain set of kernel patches
are applicable with Ksplice?
We'd like to hear from kernel hacker rd, who reads the list.
