Hi Greg,

commit e2ccba49085ab5d71b092de2a5176eb9b19cc876 upstream

Copying a function with memcpy() and then trying to execute the
result isn't trivially portable to Thumb.

This patch modifies the kexec soft restart code to copy its
assembler trampoline relocate_new_kernel() using fncpy() instead,
so that relocate_new_kernel can be in the same ISA as the rest of
the kernel without problems.

Without this patch THUMB2 kernel can not go through kdump process.
I have test it  on 3.10. This patch applies to v3.13+. 3.10 stable
and 3.12stable need it.

(1) A separate backport is needed for 3.10;
(2) it can apply to 3.12 stable directly.

Please don't stuff this into the middle of the original changelog...

Then send out the backport.

3.12 is maintained by Jiri.

Please remove this line.

If the commit can be cherry-picked cleanly, just tell the stable
maintainer the commit ID, otherwise you should add changelog
for what you did to the original patch.

Like this:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/22/818

[lizf: Backported to 3.4:
 - Drop changes to arch/arm/include/asm/cacheflush.h and
   arch/arm/mach-exynos/mcpm-exynos.c]

 This is to say I should send two mails for this upstreamed patch ?
