Thiago Jung Bauermann bf8a1abc3d powerpc/kexec_file: Fix error code when trying to load kdump kernel
kexec_file_load() on powerpc doesn't support kdump kernels yet, so it
returns -ENOTSUPP in that case.

I've recently learned that this errno is internal to the kernel and
isn't supposed to be exposed to userspace. Therefore, change to
-EOPNOTSUPP which is defined in an uapi header.

This does indeed make kexec-tools happier. Before the patch, on
ppc64le:

  # ~bauermann/src/kexec-tools/build/sbin/kexec -s -p /boot/vmlinuz
  kexec_file_load failed: Unknown error 524

After the patch:

  # ~bauermann/src/kexec-tools/build/sbin/kexec -s -p /boot/vmlinuz
  kexec_file_load failed: Operation not supported

Fixes: a0458284f0 ("powerpc: Add support code for kexec_file_load()")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
