STALE2157d LANDED

Landed in mainline as e64ac41ab0c5 on 2020-09-15.

[PATCH 2/3] powerpc/uaccess: Switch __patch_instruction() to __put_user_asm_goto()

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2020-09-04 11:04:56
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

__patch_instruction() is the only user of __put_user_asm() outside
of asm/uaccess.h

Switch to the new __put_user_asm_goto() to enable retirement of
__put_user_asm() in a later patch.
