ksplice-apply - Apply an on-disk Ksplice update to the running kernel
ksplice-apply UPDATE_TARBALL
ksplice-apply takes as input a Ksplice update tarball, as generated by ksplice-create(8), and it applies the update to the running binary kernel.
Specifically, ksplice-apply does the following:
Inserts the ``primary'' module into the kernel.
Inserts the ``helper'' module into the kernel (doing so applies the update).
Removes the ``helper'' module from the kernel (that module is not needed after the update has been applied).
The update tarball used with ksplice-apply must have been generated for the running kernel's version.
Applies the update with debugging output enabled. Recommended only for debugging. DEBUG_LEVEL should be an integer between 0 and 4. --debug=4 provides the most debugging information.
No debugging output.
Provides basic (pre-run matching and kernel stack check) debugging output.
Also provides full kernel stack check debugging output.
Also provides full pre-run matching debugging output.
Also provides full Ksplice relocation debugging output.
