Hi Fangrui,

You might like to start with these articles:

  https://access.redhat.com/articles/2475321
  https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/live-kernel-patching-update

There is also a mailing list where you can post questions:

  live-patching@vger.kernel.org

FYI Joe Lawrence - the kernel engineer who has been looking 
into this - did try using the LLVM toolset but he found that
it did not like their use of reserved st_shndx symbol values
and the processor specific values in the link field in their 
relocation sections...

Cheers
  Nick
