Subject[PATCH 0/2] Fix the bug that function never be patched, if the name is larger than KSYM_NAME_LEN-1
Date
For now, the kallsyms will only store the first (KSYM_NAME_LEN-1). The
kallsyms name is same for the function which first (KSYM_NAME_LEN-1) is
same, but the rest is not.

Livepatch will verify the function name to confirm the patch is
validation or not for extra module. Once the function name is larger
than (KSYM_NAME_LEN-1), the function never be patched, although
function name and address provided both, according to above verification.

Now, livepatch will verify the function name with first (KSYM_NAME_LEN-1)
and address, if provided. Once they are matched, we can confirm that the
patched function is found.

Minfei Huang (2):
livepatch: Add a new function to verify the address and name match for
patched module
livepatch: Fix the bug if the function name is larger than
KSYM_NAME_LEN-1
