Hi, I think we should comply with sysfs policy and keep 'one value per attribute' as mentioned in the Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt: " Attributes should be ASCII text files, preferably with only one value per file. It is noted that it may not be efficient to contain only one value per file, so it is socially acceptable to express an array of values of the same type. Mixing types, expressing multiple lines of data, and doing fancy formatting of data is heavily frowned upon. Doing these things may get you publicly humiliated and your code rewritten without notice. " The list of applied patches can be obtained just by 'ls /sys/kernel/livepatch' and their state is in enabled attribute in each respective patch (no, you cannot obtain the order in the stack).
