When attempting to load a livepatch module, I got the following error:
module_64: patch_module: Expect noop after relocate, got 3c820000
The error was triggered by the following code in
unregister_netdevice_queue():
14c: 00 00 00 48 b 14c <unregister_netdevice_queue+0x14c>
14c: R_PPC64_REL24 net_set_todo
150: 00 00 82 3c addis r4,r2,0
GCC didn't insert a nop after the branch to net_set_todo() because it's
a sibling call, so it never returns. The nop isn't needed after the
branch in that case.

Title:
kpatch - Add livepatch hook support for ppc64le
Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
Triaged
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
kpatch is a Linux dynamic kernel patching infrastructure which allows
you to patch a running kernel without rebooting or restarting any
processes. It enables sysadmins to apply critical security patches to
the kernel immediately, without having to wait for long-running tasks
to complete, for users to log off, or for scheduled reboot windows. It
gives more control over uptime without sacrificing security or
stability.
