Merge a topic branch we are maintaining with some cross-architecture changes to function descriptor handling and their use in LKDTM. From Christophe's cover letter: Fix LKDTM for PPC64/IA64/PARISC PPC64/IA64/PARISC have function descriptors. LKDTM doesn't work on those three architectures because LKDTM messes up function descriptors with functions. This series does some cleanup in the three architectures and refactors function descriptors so that it can then easily use it in a generic way in LKDTM.
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
