selftests/ftrace: Fix unique symbol check in kprobe_non_uniq_symbol.tcgrafted
The current regex also matches symbols in modules, which makes the
test fail on s390 where name_show is present only once in the kernel,
but also multiple times in modules:
000001b1401cdc20 t name_show
000001b0c05e6c40 t name_show [mdev]
000001b0c0495f30 t name_show [i2c_core]
Fix this by changing the regular expression to only match the function
name.

"FDSTORE=1\nFDNAME=foo")``. + +Services may also create their own LUO sessions (via ``/dev/liveupdate``) and +push the resulting session fds into their file descriptor store like any other +fd. systemd detects such session fds and handles them accordingly, and +hands the re-retrieved session fd back to the service after kexec, using the +existing file descriptor store service interface. + +For details, see: + +- `File Descriptor Store <https://systemd.io/FILE_DESCRIPTOR_STORE/>`_ +- `systemd.service(5) FileDescriptorStorePreserve= + <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.service.html#FileDescriptorStorePreserve=>`_ +- `sd_pid_notify_with_fds(3) + <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/sd_pid_notify_with_fds.html>`_ + +See Also +======== + +- :doc:`Live Update Orchestrator </core-api/liveupdate>` |
