All of the Linux live patching efforts are paid services. I think Gentoo might have some open stuff, but no patch generation/distribution service. IIRC the reason is that you basically need full-time staff knowledgeable in Linux kernel internals to be able to generate the Linux live patches.
- jacooper 4y agoKpatch is fully open https://github.com/dynup/kpatch https://github.com/dynup/kpatch But if you mean the Kernel patch packages themselves, then you are right, looks like there are no free patch packages that one can just download and use.
- pabs3 4y agoRight, kpatch itself is open, but the infrastructure to run it is generally proprietary (except for Gentoo's) and the patches themselves are paywalled (and Gentoo produces no patches).
