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 RHEL customers as an incentive to migrate to Oracle Linux Premier Support.
