Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] ppc64le: Add REL24 relocation support of livepatch symbols
Date:   Tue, 14 Nov 2017 04:29:07 -0500
Message-Id: <20171114092910.20399-1-kamalesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Precedence: bulk

This patchset drop the approach of creating new stub type for livepatch
symbols and offloads the issue of handling local function becoming global
to kpatch tool via gcc-plugin.

In function restore_r2(), a check for sibling call is added and also
improves the error message on unexpected op-code.

v4:
 - Drop creation of stubs for livepatch symbols and offload solution
   to kpatch tool.
 - Introduce check for sibling call, when restoring r2 after branch. (Josh)
 - Improve error message in restore_r2(). (Josh)

v3:
 - Defined FUNC_DESC_OFFSET to calculate func_desc offset from
   struct ppc64le_klp_stub_entry.
 - Replaced BUG_ON() with WARN_ON() in klp_stub_for_addr().
 - Major commit message re-write.

v2:
 - Changed klp_stub construction to re-use livepatch_handler and
   additional patch code required for klp_stub, instead of duplicating it.
 - Minor comments and commit body edit.
