This is a regression test for an upstream kernel fix commit 37251c7114e1b743b077ca74b93557c1ad92a97e: powerpc/module_64: Fix "expected nop" error on module re-patching When a module with a livepatched function is unloaded and then reloaded, klp attempts to dynamically re-patch it. On ppc64, that fails with the following error: module_64: livepatch_nfsd: Expected nop after call, got e8410018 at e_show+0x60/0x548 [livepatch_nfsd] livepatch: failed to initialize patch 'livepatch_nfsd' for module 'nfsd' (-8) livepatch: patch 'livepatch_nfsd' failed for module 'nfsd', refusing to load module 'nfsd' The error happens because the restore r2 instructionhad already previously been written into the klp module's replacement function when the original function was patched the first time. So the instruction wasn't a nop as expected. When the restore r2 instruction has already been patched in, detect that and skip the warning and the instruction write.
