My understanding of live kernel patching is that the feature allows
systems to update specific individual kernel functions, and is primarily
useful for addressing security vulnerabilities (and not, for example,
for updating from one kernel version to another).? I don't know for a
fact, but my expectation is that CentOS Stream systems aren't going to
get "live" patches because there's no ongoing support for
individual
kernels.
