/**
 * DOC: Live Update Orchestrator (LUO)
 *
 * Live Update is a specialized, kexec-based reboot process that allows a
 * running kernel to be updated from one version to another while preserving
 * the state of selected resources and keeping designated hardware devices
 * operational. For these devices, DMA activity may continue throughout the
 * kernel transition.
 *
 * While the primary use case driving this work is supporting live updates of
 * the Linux kernel when it is used as a hypervisor in cloud environments, the
 * LUO framework itself is designed to be workload-agnostic. Live Update
 * facilitates a full kernel version upgrade for any type of system.
 *
 * For example, a non-hypervisor system running an in-memory cache like
 * memcached with many gigabytes of data can use LUO. The userspace service
 * can place its cache into a memfd, have its state preserved by LUO, and
 * restore it immediately after the kernel kexec.
 *
 * Whether the system is running virtual machines, containers, a
 * high-performance database, or networking services, LUO's primary goal is to
 * enable a full kernel update by preserving critical userspace state and
 * keeping essential devices operational.
 *
 * The core of LUO is a mechanism that tracks the progress of a live update,
 * along with a callback API that allows other kernel subsystems to participate
 * in the process. Example subsystems that can hook into LUO include: kvm,
 * iommu, interrupts, vfio, participating filesystems, and memory management.
 *
 * LUO uses Kexec Handover to transfer memory state from the current kernel to
 * the next kernel. For more details see
 * Documentation/core-api/kho/concepts.rst.

 * The IOCTL user-space control interface for the LUO subsystem.

 * which allows a userspace agent to manage the LUO state machine and its
 * associated resources, such as preservable file descriptors.
 *
 * To ensure that the state machine is controlled by a single entity, access
 * to this device is exclusive: only one process is permitted to have
 * ``/dev/liveupdate`` open at any given time. Subsequent open attempts will
 * fail with -EBUSY until the first process closes its file descriptor.
 * This singleton model simplifies state management by preventing conflicting
 * commands from multiple userspace agents.
