/*
 * livepatch-shadow-fix2.c - Shadow variables, livepatch demo
 *
 * Purpose
 * -------
 *
 * Adds functionality to livepatch-shadow-mod's in-flight data
 * structures through a shadow variable.  The livepatch patches a
 * routine that periodically inspects data structures, incrementing a
 * per-data-structure counter, creating the counter if needed.
 *
 *
 * Usage
 * -----
 *
 * This module is not intended to be standalone.  See the "Usage"
 * section of livepatch-shadow-mod.c.
