Merge the ftrace changes to support -mprofile-kernel on ppc64le. This is
a prerequisite for live patching, the support for which will be merged
via the livepatch tree based on this topic branch.

When a module is loaded, calls out to the kernel go via a stub which is
generated at runtime. One of these stubs is used to call _mcount(),
which is the default target of tracing calls generated by the compiler
with -pg.
If dynamic ftrace is enabled (which it typically is), another stub is
used to call ftrace_caller(), which is the target of tracing calls when
ftrace is actually active.
ftrace then wants to disable the calls to _mcount() at module startup,
and enable/disable the calls to ftrace_caller() when enabling/disabling
tracing - all of these it does by patching the code.
As part of that code patching, the ftrace code wants to confirm that the
branch it is about to modify, is in fact a call to a module stub which
calls _mcount() or ftrace_caller().
Currently it does that by inspecting the instructions and confirming
they are what it expects. Although that works, the code to do it is
pretty intricate because it requires lots of knowledge about the exact
format of the stub.
We can make that process easier by marking the generated stubs with a
magic value, and then looking for that magic value. Altough this is not
as rigorous as the current method, I believe it is sufficient in
practice.

Currently we generate the module stub for ftrace_caller() at the bottom
of apply_relocate_add(). However apply_relocate_add() is potentially
called more than once per module, which means we will try to generate
the ftrace_caller() stub multiple times.
Although the current code deals with that correctly, ie. it only
generates a stub the first time, it would be clearer to only try to
generate the stub once.
Note also on first reading it may appear that we generate a different
stub for each section that requires relocation, but that is not the
case. The code in stub_for_addr() that searches for an existing stub
uses sechdrs[me->arch.stubs_section], ie. the single stub section for
this module.
A cleaner approach is to only generate the ftrace_caller() stub once,
from module_finalize(). Although the original code didn't check to see
if the stub was actually generated correctly, it seems prudent to add a
check, so do that. And an additional benefit is we can clean the ifdefs
up a little.
Finally we must propagate the const'ness of some of the pointers passed
to module_finalize(), but that is also an improvement.

ftrace has way too much knowledge of our kernel module trampoline
layout hidden inside it. Create module_trampoline_target() that gives
the target address of a kernel module trampoline.

The kernel resolved the '.TOC.' to a fake symbol, so we need to fix it up
to point to our .toc section plus 0x8000.

Module CRCs are implemented as absolute symbols that get resolved by
a linker script. We build an intermediate .o that contains an
unresolved symbol for each CRC. genksysms parses this .o, calculates
the CRCs and writes a linker script that "resolves" the symbols to
the calculated CRC.
Unfortunately the ppc64 relocatable kernel sees these CRCs as symbols
that need relocating and relocates them at boot. Commit d4703aef
(module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)
added a hook to reverse the bogus relocations. Part of this patch
created a symbol at 0x0:
# head -2 /proc/kallsyms
0000000000000000 T reloc_start
c000000000000000 T .__start
This reloc_start symbol is causing lots of confusion to perf. It
thinks reloc_start is a massive function that stretches from 0x0 to
0xc000000000000000 and we get various cryptic errors out of perf,
including:
problem incrementing symbol count, skipping event
This patch removes the reloc_start linker script label and instead
defines it as PHYSICAL_START. We also need to wrap it with
CONFIG_PPC64 because the ppc32 kernel can set a non zero
PHYSICAL_START at compile time and we wouldn't want to subtract
it from the CRCs in that case.

Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
(*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
mod_arch_specific struct.
(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes
the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes
the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.
With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

powerpc applies relocations to the kcrctab. They're absolute symbols,
but it's not completely unreasonable: other archs may too, but the
relocation is often 0.

Impact: Allow 64 bit PowerPC to trace modules with dynamic ftrace
This adds code to handle the PPC64 module trampolines, and allows for
PPC64 to use dynamic ftrace.
Thanks to Paul Mackerras for these updates:
- fix the mod and rec->arch.mod NULL checks.
- fix to is_bl_op compare.
Thanks to Milton Miller for:
- finding the nasty race with using two nops, and recommending
instead that I use a branch 8 forward.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
