Pull livepatching updates from Jiri Kosina: - remove of our own implementation of architecture-specific relocation code and leveraging existing code in the module loader to perform arch-dependent work, from Jessica Yu. The relevant patches have been acked by Rusty (for module.c) and Heiko (for s390). - live patching support for ppc64le, which is a joint work of Michael Ellerman and Torsten Duwe. This is coming from topic branch that is share between livepatching.git and ppc tree. - addition of livepatching documentation from Petr Mladek * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching: livepatch: make object/func-walking helpers more robust livepatch: Add some basic livepatch documentation powerpc/livepatch: Add live patching support on ppc64le powerpc/livepatch: Add livepatch stack to struct thread_info powerpc/livepatch: Add livepatch header livepatch: Allow architectures to specify an alternate ftrace location ftrace: Make ftrace_location_range() global livepatch: robustify klp_register_patch() API error checking Documentation: livepatch: outline Elf format and requirements for patch modules livepatch: reuse module loader code to write relocations module: s390: keep mod_arch_specific for livepatch modules module: preserve Elf information for livepatch modules Elf: add livepatch-specific Elf constants
