Change ARCH_HAVE_LIVE_PATCHING to HAVE_LIVE_PATCHING in Kconfigs. HAVE_ bools are prevalent there and we should go with the flow.

2015-01-06livepatch: kconfig: use bool instead of booleanChristoph Jaeger1-2/+2
Keyword 'boolean' for type definition attributes is considered deprecated and should not be used anymore. No functional changes.

2014-12-22livepatch: kernel: add support for live patchingSeth Jennings1-0/+18
This commit introduces code for the live patching core. It implements an ftrace-based mechanism and kernel interface for doing live patching of kernel and kernel module functions. It represents the greatest common functionality set between kpatch and kgraft and can accept patches built using either method. This first version does not implement any consistency mechanism that ensures that old and new code do not run together. In practice, ~90% of CVEs are safe to apply in this way, since they simply add a conditional check. However, any function change that can not execute safely with the old version of the function can _not_ be safely applied in this version.
