Pull livepatching updates from Jiri Kosina: - support for something we call 'atomic replace', and allows for much better handling of cumulative patches (which is something very useful for distros), from Jason Baron with help of Petr Mladek and Joe Lawrence - improvement of handling of tasks blocking finalization, from Miroslav Benes - update of MAINTAINERS file to reflect move towards group maintainership * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/livepatching/livepatching: (22 commits) livepatch/selftests: use "$@" to preserve argument list livepatch: Module coming and going callbacks can proceed with all listed patches livepatch: Proper error handling in the shadow variables selftest livepatch: return -ENOMEM on ptr_id() allocation failure livepatch: Introduce klp_for_each_patch macro livepatch: core: Return EOPNOTSUPP instead of ENOSYS selftests/livepatch: add DYNAMIC_DEBUG config dependency livepatch: samples: non static warnings fix livepatch: update MAINTAINERS livepatch: Remove signal sysfs attribute livepatch: Send a fake signal periodically selftests/livepatch: introduce tests livepatch: Remove ordering (stacking) of the livepatches livepatch: Atomic replace and cumulative patches documentation livepatch: Remove Nop structures when unused livepatch: Add atomic replace livepatch: Use lists to manage patches, objects and functions livepatch: Simplify API by removing registration step livepatch: Don't block the removal of patches loaded after a forced transition livepatch: Consolidate klp_free functions ...

-Description:
- A writable attribute that allows administrator to affect the
- course of an existing transition. Writing 1 sends a fake
- signal to all remaining blocking tasks. The fake signal
- means that no proper signal is delivered (there is no data in
- signal pending structures). Tasks are interrupted or woken up,
- and forced to change their patched state.
