93862e385d livepatch: add (un)patch callbacks 
Provide livepatch modules a klp_object (un)patching notification
mechanism.  Pre and post-(un)patch callbacks allow livepatch modules to
setup or synchronize changes that would be difficult to support in only
patched-or-unpatched code contexts.

Callbacks can be registered for target module or vmlinux klp_objects,
but each implementation is klp_object specific.

  - Pre-(un)patch callbacks run before any (un)patching transition
    starts.

  - Post-(un)patch callbacks run once an object has been (un)patched and
    the klp_patch fully transitioned to its target state.

Example use cases include modification of global data and registration
of newly available services/handlers.

See Documentation/livepatch/callbacks.txt for details and
samples/livepatch/ for examples.

439e7271dc livepatch: introduce shadow variable API 
Add exported API for livepatch modules:

  klp_shadow_get()
  klp_shadow_alloc()
  klp_shadow_get_or_alloc()
  klp_shadow_free()
  klp_shadow_free_all()

that implement "shadow" variables, which allow callers to associate new
shadow fields to existing data structures.  This is intended to be used
by livepatch modules seeking to emulate additions to data structure
definitions.

See Documentation/livepatch/shadow-vars.txt for a summary of the new
shadow variable API, including a few common use cases.

See samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-* for example modules that
demonstrate shadow variables.

the config and the code more consistent.
