 kpatch: dynamic kernel patching
 ===============================
 
-kpatch is a Linux dynamic kernel patching tool which allows you to patch a
-running kernel without rebooting or restarting any processes.  It enables
-sysadmins to apply critical security patches to the kernel immediately, without
-having to wait for long-running tasks to complete, users to log off, or
-for scheduled reboot windows.  It gives more control over uptime without
-sacrificing security or stability.

 kpatch is currently in active development.  For now, it should _not_ be used
 in production environments.
