Explanation:
Ksplice is a free softwareextension of the Linux kernel which allows system
administrators to apply security patches to a running kernel without having to reboot the operating
system(C, not A)(a technique broadly referred to as Dynamic Software Updating). It only supports
patches that don’t make significant semantic changes to kernel data structures.Ksplice has been
implemented for Linux on the x86-32 and x86-64 architectures. It was developed by Ksplice, Inc.
until 21 July 2011, when Oracle acquired Ksplice and started offering support for Oracle Linux(not
D).Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux was dropped and turned into a free 30-day trial for RHELcustomers as an incentive to migrate to Oracle Linux Premier Support.
