16		The patch directory contains subdirectories for each kernel
17		object (vmlinux or a module) in which it patched functions.

23Description:
24		A writable attribute that indicates whether the patched
25		code is currently applied.  Writing 0 will disable the patch
26		while writing 1 will re-enable the patch.

40Description:
41		A writable attribute that allows administrator to affect the
42		course of an existing transition. Writing 1 sends a fake
43		signal to all remaining blocking tasks. The fake signal
44		means that no proper signal is delivered (there is no data in
45		signal pending structures). Tasks are interrupted or woken up,
46		and forced to change their patched state.

51Contact:	[email protected]
52Description:
53		A writable attribute that allows administrator to affect the
54		course of an existing transition. Writing 1 clears
55		TIF_PATCH_PENDING flag of all tasks and thus forces the tasks to
56		the patched or unpatched state. Administrator should not
57		use this feature without a clearance from a patch
58		distributor. Removal (rmmod) of patch modules is permanently
59		disabled when the feature is used. See
60		Documentation/livepatch/livepatch.txt for more information.

67		The object directory contains subdirectories for each function
68		that is patched within the object.

71Date:		Nov 2014
72KernelVersion:	3.19.0
73Contact:	[email protected]
74Description:
75		The function directory contains attributes regarding the
76		properties and state of the patched function.
77
78		The directory name contains the patched function name and a
79		sympos number corresponding to the nth occurrence of the symbol
80		name in kallsyms for the patched object.
81
82		There are currently no such attributes.
