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:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/YhiTN0MORoQmFFkO@MiWiFi-R3L-srv/T/#u

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)

Could you pick this series into your tree? I reviewed the patches 1~3
and tested the whole patchset, no issue found.

Thanks

... I'd fold patch 4 into patch 1, but yes, Andrew, please take these
patches.

I think so too, please.  The addition then removal of a
read_from_oldmem() implementation is a bit odd.

> but yes, Andrew, please take these patches.

And against current -linus please.  There have been some changes since
then (rcu stuff).

OK, I will fold 1 to 4, and send v5 based on linus's tree.
