From 4b750b573c5b3ee10e33c1573eaa94a9dad62f19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2020 21:32:42 -0500 Subject: livepatch: Trigger WARNING if livepatch function fails due to recursion If for some reason a function is called that triggers the recursion detection of live patching, trigger a warning. By not executing the live patch code, it is possible that the old unpatched function will be called placing the system into an unknown state.
