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

* '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
