KernelCare is a live kernel patching service that provides security patches and bugfixes for a range of popular Linux kernels [2] that can be installed without rebooting the system. [3] KernelCare software is a commercial product. The first beta was introduced in March 2014 and it was commercially launched in May 2014.
In 2009, major Linux vendors asked their customers to install a kernel update more than once per month. [10] For patches that do introduce semantic changes to data structures, Ksplice requires a programmer to write a short amount of additional code to help apply the patch. This was necessary for about 12% of the updates in that time period. [11]
kpatch is a feature of the Linux kernel that implements live patching of a running kernel, which allows kernel patches to be applied while the kernel is still running. By avoiding the need for rebooting the system with a new kernel that contains the desired patches, kpatch aims to maximize the system uptime and availability.
