Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] Convert vmcore to use an iov_iter

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.

This series resends Willy's v3 patches which includes patch 1~3, and
append one patch to clean up the open code pointed out by Al.

Al's concerns to v3 patches and my reply after investigation:

Willy's v3 patchset:
[PATCH v3 0/3] Convert vmcore to use an iov_iter
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211213143927.3069508-1-willy@infradead.org/T/#u

Changelog:
===
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)
