Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching

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
