livepatch: introduce shadow variable API
Add exported API for livepatch modules: klp_shadow_get() klp_shadow_alloc() klp_shadow_get_or_alloc() klp_shadow_free() klp_shadow_free_all() that implement "shadow" variables, which allow callers to associate new shadow fields to existing data structures. This is intended to be used by livepatch modules seeking to emulate additions to data structure definitions. See Documentation/livepatch/shadow-vars.txt for a summary of the new shadow variable API, including a few common use cases. See samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-* for example modules that demonstrate shadow variables.

+/**
+ * DOC: Shadow variable API concurrency notes:
+ *
+ * The shadow variable API provides a simple relationship between an
+ * <obj, id> pair and a pointer value. It is the responsibility of the
+ * caller to provide any mutual exclusion required of the shadow data.
+ *
+ * Once a shadow variable is attached to its parent object via the
+ * klp_shadow_*alloc() API calls, it is considered live: any subsequent
+ * call to klp_shadow_get() may then return the shadow variable's data
+ * pointer. Callers of klp_shadow_*alloc() should prepare shadow data
+ * accordingly.
+ *
+ * The klp_shadow_*alloc() API calls may allocate memory for new shadow
+ * variable structures. Their implementation does not call kmalloc
+ * inside any spinlocks, but API callers should pass GFP flags according
+ * to their specific needs.
+ *
+ * The klp_shadow_hash is an RCU-enabled hashtable and is safe against
+ * concurrent klp_shadow_free() and klp_shadow_get() operations.
