Commit 51c9c0843993 ("powerpc/kprobes: Implement Optprobes")
implemented a powerpc specific version of optinsn in order
to workaround the 32Mb limitation for direct branches.
Instead of implementing a dedicated powerpc version, use the
common optinsn and override the allocation and freeing functions.
This also indirectly remove the CLANG warning about
is_kprobe_ppc_optinsn_slot() not being use, and the powerpc will
now benefit from commit 5b485629ba0d ("kprobes, extable: Identify
kprobes trampolines as kernel text area")

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.
