[PATCH v5 0/3] Convert vmcore to use an iov_iter

[Baoquan He]

Copy the description of v3 cover letter from Willy:
===
For some reason several people have been sending bad patches to fix
compiler warnings in vmcore recently.  Here's how it should be done.
Compile-tested only on x86.  As noted in the first patch, s390 should
take this conversion a bit further, but I'm not inclined to do that
work myself.

Changelog:
===
v5:
 - Rebased on Linus's latest master branch.
 - Merge the patch 4 of v4 into patch 2.

v4:
 - Append one patch to replace the open code with iov_iter_count().
   This is suggested by Al.
 - Fix a indentation error by replacing space with tab in
   arch/sh/kernel/crash_dump.c of patch 1 reported by checkpatch. The
   rest of patch 1~3 are untouched.
 - Add Christopy's Reviewed-by and my Acked-by for patch 1~3.
v3:
 - Send the correct patches this time
v2:
 - Removed unnecessary kernel-doc
 - Included uio.h to fix compilation problems
 - Made read_from_oldmem_iter static to avoid compile warnings during the
   conversion
 - Use iov_iter_truncate() (Christoph)
