NAME

       kpatch - hot patch module management

SYNOPSIS

       kpatch <command> [<args>]

DESCRIPTION

       kpatch is a user script that manages installing, loading, and displaying information about
       kernel patch modules installed on the system.

COMMANDS

       install [-k|--kernel-version=<kernel version>] <module>
              install patch module to be loaded at boot

       uninstall [-k|--kernel-version=<kernel version>] <module>
              uninstall patch module

       load --all
              load all installed patch modules into the running kernel

       load <module>
              load patch module into the running kernel

       unload --all
              unload all patch modules from the running kernel

       unload <module>
              unload patch module from the running kernel

       info <module>
              show information about a patch module

       list
              list installed patch modules

       signal
              signal/poke any process stalling the current patch transition.
              This is only useful on systems that have the sysfs livepatch signal interface.
              On other systems, the signaling should be done automatically by the OS and
              this subcommand is a no-op.

       version
              display the kpatch version
