Several architectures support text patching, but they name the header
files that declare patching functions differently.

Make all such headers consistently named text-patching.h and add an empty
header in asm-generic for architectures that do not support text patching.

<title>powerpc/fadump: make is_kdump_kernel() return false when fadump is active</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, is_kdump_kernel() returns true in crash dump capture kernel
for both kdump and fadump crash dump capturing methods, as both these
methods set elfcorehdr_addr. Some restrictions enforced for crash dump
capture kernel, based on is_kdump_kernel(), are specifically meant for
kdump case and not desirable for fadump - eg. IO queues restriction in
device drivers. So, define is_kdump_kernel() to return false when f/w
assisted dump is active.

Patch series "Convert vmcore to use an iov_iter", v5.

For some reason several people have been sending bad patches to fix
compiler warnings in vmcore recently.  Here's how it should be done. 
Compile-tested only on x86.  As noted in the first patch, s390 should take
this conversion a bit further, but I'm not inclined to do that work
myself.


This patch (of 3):

Instead of passing in a 'buf' and 'userbuf' argument, pass in an iov_iter.
s390 needs more work to pass the iov_iter down further, or refactor, but
I'd be more comfortable if someone who can test on s390 did that work.

It's more convenient to convert the whole of read_from_oldmem() to take an
iov_iter at the same time, so rename it to read_from_oldmem_iter() and add
a temporary read_from_oldmem() wrapper that creates an iov_iter.

<title>powerpc: Don't use 'struct ppc_inst' to reference instruction location</title>

'struct ppc_inst' is an internal representation of an instruction, but
in-memory instructions are and will remain a table of 'u32' forever.

Replace all 'struct ppc_inst *' used for locating an instruction in
memory by 'u32 *'. This removes a lot of undue casts to 'struct
ppc_inst *'.

It also helps locating ab-use of 'struct ppc_inst' dereference.

For powerpc64, redefine the ppc_inst type so both word and prefixed
instructions can be represented. On powerpc32 the type will remain the
same. Update places which had assumed instructions to be 4 bytes long.

[mpe: Rework the get_user_inst() macros to be parameterised, and don't
      assign to the dest if an error occurred. Use CONFIG_PPC64 not
      __powerpc64__ in a few places. Address other comments from
      Christophe. Fix some sparse complaints.]

Currently unsigned ints are used to represent instructions on powerpc.
This has worked well as instructions have always been 4 byte words.

However, ISA v3.1 introduces some changes to instructions that mean
this scheme will no longer work as well. This change is Prefixed
Instructions. A prefixed instruction is made up of a word prefix
followed by a word suffix to make an 8 byte double word instruction.
No matter the endianness of the system the prefix always comes first.
Prefixed instructions are only planned for powerpc64.

Introduce a ppc_inst type to represent both prefixed and word
instructions on powerpc64 while keeping it possible to exclusively
have word instructions on powerpc32.

In preparation for instructions having a more complex data type start
using a macro, ppc_inst(), for making an instruction out of a u32.  A
macro is used so that instructions can be used as initializer elements.
Currently this does nothing, but it will allow for creating a data type
that can represent prefixed instructions.
