Merge tag 'livepatching-for-5.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/livepatching/livepatching
Pull livepatching updates from Petr Mladek: - New API to track system state changes done be livepatch callbacks. It helps to maintain compatibility between livepatches. - Update Kconfig help text. ORC is another reliable unwinder. - Disable generic selftest timeout. Livepatch selftests have their own per-operation fine-grained timeouts. * tag 'livepatching-for-5.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/livepatching/livepatching: x86/stacktrace: update kconfig help text for reliable unwinders livepatch: Selftests of the API for tracking system state changes livepatch: Documentation of the new API for tracking system state changes livepatch: Allow to distinguish different version of system state changes livepatch: Basic API to track system state changes livepatch: Keep replaced patches until post_patch callback is called selftests/livepatch: Disable the timeout
