Subject: [GIT PULL] livepatching for 4.2

Linus,

please pull from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching.git for-linus

to receive 4.2 merge window updates for livepatching subsystem.

==============================
- symbol lookup locking fix, from Miroslav Benes

- error handling improvements in case of failure of the module coming 
  notifier, from Minfei Huang

- we were too pessimistic when kASLR has been enabled on x86 and were
  dropping address hints on the floor unnecessarily in such case. Fix
  from Jiri Kosina

- a few other small fixes and cleanups
==============================

Thanks!
