/*
 * livepatch-callbacks-demo.c - (un)patching callbacks livepatch demo
 *
 *
 * Purpose
 * -------
 *
 * Demonstration of registering livepatch (un)patching callbacks.
 *
 *
 * Usage
 * -----
 *
 * Step 1 - load the simple module
 *
 *   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
 *
 *
 * Step 2 - load the demonstration livepatch (with callbacks)
 *
 *   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
 *
 *
 * Step 3 - cleanup
 *
 *   echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
 *   rmmod livepatch_callbacks_demo
 *   rmmod livepatch_callbacks_mod
 *
 * Watch dmesg output to see livepatch enablement, callback execution
 * and patching operations for both vmlinux and module targets.
 *
 * NOTE: swap the insmod order of livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko and
 *       livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko to observe what happens when a
 *       target module is loaded after a livepatch with callbacks.
 *
 * NOTE: 'pre_patch_ret' is a module parameter that sets the pre-patch
 *       callback return status.  Try setting up a non-zero status
 *       such as -19 (-ENODEV):
 *
 *       # Load demo livepatch, vmlinux is patched
 *       insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
 *
 *       # Setup next pre-patch callback to return -ENODEV
 *       echo -19 > /sys/module/livepatch_callbacks_demo/parameters/pre_patch_ret
 *
 *       # Module loader refuses to load the target module
 *       insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
 *       insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko: No such device
 *
 * NOTE: There is a second target module,
 *       livepatch-callbacks-busymod.ko, available for experimenting
 *       with livepatch (un)patch callbacks.  This module contains
 *       a 'sleep_secs' parameter that parks the module on one of the
 *       functions that the livepatch demo module wants to patch.
 *       Modifying this value and tweaking the order of module loads can
 *       effectively demonstrate stalled patch transitions:
 *
 *       # Load a target module, let it park on 'busymod_work_func' for
 *       # thirty seconds
 *       insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-busymod.ko sleep_secs=30
 *
 *       # Meanwhile load the livepatch
 *       insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
 *
 *       # ... then load and unload another target module while the
 *       # transition is in progress
 *       insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
 *       rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
 *
 *       # Finally cleanup
 *       echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
 *       rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
