[PATCH 0/3] powerpc: Enhance error handling with patch_instruction()

[Naveen N. Rao]

This patchset updates error handling with patch_instruction(). The first 
patch fixes an issue with do_patch_instruction() with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX 
wherein errors were not being returned back. The second and third 
patches update users of patch_instruction() in ftrace and kprobes code 
to properly validate return value from patch_instruction() and to notify 
errors.
