Hi,
I am looking at possibilities to have a setup which does not need to be restarted at all and can be live patched. I have seen this old post:

And I am reading information about kpatch. But there does not need to be much information. Is there a reliable way to do this currently? If yes, I would like to know some information about it.
The wiki has an article about kpatch, but note that you will have to maintain your own kernel then. Also kpatch is really geared to updating your kernel for security issues and not updating to a newer version. [1] [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_live_patching -- Jelle van der Waa
