7 * livepatch-shadow-fix1.c - Shadow variables, livepatch demo
12 * Fixes the memory leak introduced in livepatch-shadow-mod through the
13 * use of a shadow variable. This fix demonstrates the "extending" of
14 * short-lived data structures by patching its allocation and release
21 * This module is not intended to be standalone. See the "Usage"
22 * section of livepatch-shadow-mod.c.
