This patch adds support for advertising optional CPU features over udev
using the modalias, and for declaring compatibility with/dependency upon
such a feature in a module.
The mapping between feature numbers and actual features should be provided
by the architecture in a file called <asm/cpufeature.h> which exports the
following functions/macros:
- cpu_feature(FEAT), a preprocessor macro that maps token FEAT to a
numeric index;
- bool cpu_have_feature(n), returning whether this CPU has support for
feature #n;
- MAX_CPU_FEATURES, an upper bound for 'n' in the previous function.
The feature can then be enabled by setting CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_AUTOPROBE
for the architecture.
For instance, a module that registers its module init function using
module_cpu_feature_match(FEAT_X, module_init_function)
will be probed automatically when the CPU's support for the 'FEAT_X'
feature is advertised over udev, and will only allow the module to be
loaded by hand if the 'FEAT_X' feature is supported.

Recordmcount utility under scripts is run, after compiling each object,
to find out all the locations of calling _mcount() and put them into
specific seciton named __mcount_loc.
Then linker collects all such information into a table in the kernel image
(between __start_mcount_loc and __stop_mcount_loc) for later use by ftrace.
This patch adds arm64 specific definitions to identify such locations.
There are two types of implementation, C and Perl. On arm64, only C version
is used to build the kernel now that CONFIG_HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT is on.
But Perl version is also maintained.
This patch also contains a workaround just in case where a header file,
elf.h, on host machine doesn't have definitions of EM_AARCH64 nor
R_AARCH64_ABS64. Without them, compiling C version of recordmcount will
fail.

As commit a9468f30b5 "ARM: 7333/2: jump label: detect %c
support for ARM", this patch detects the same thing for ARM64
because some ARM64 GCC versions have the same issue.
Some versions of ARM64 GCC which do support asm goto, do not
support the %c specifier. Since we need the %c to support jump
labels on ARM64, detect that too in the asm goto detection script
to avoid build errors with these versions.

As is done for other architectures, sort the exception table at
build-time rather than during boot.
Since sortextable appears to be a standalone C program relying on the
host elf.h to provide EM_AARCH64, I've had to add a conditional check in
order to allow cross-compilation on machines that aren't running a
bleeding-edge libc-dev.

Since newer DT bindings include references to include/dt-bindings we need
to make this available to build DTs using them. Upstream has a number of
reworkings which are much more invasive but featureful, just include a
minimal fix.

commit c0ff68f161 upstream.
If headers_install is executed from a deep/long directory structure, the
shell's maximum argument length can be execeeded, which breaks the operation
with:
| make[2]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long
| make[2]: ***
Instead of passing each files name with the entire path, I give only the file
name without the source path and give this path as a new argument to
headers_install.pl.
Because there is three possible paths, I have tree input-files list, one per
path.

commit f8ce239dfc upstream.
builddeb generates a control file that says the linux-headers package
can only be built for the build system primary architecture. This
breaks cross-building configurations. We should use $debarch for this
instead.
Since $debarch is not yet set when generating the control file, set
Architecture: any and use control file variables to fill in the
description.

commit 03b56329f9 upstream.
Commit afe2dab4f6 ("USB: add hex/bcd detection to usb modalias generation")
changed the routine that generates alias ranges. Before that change, only
digits 0-9 were supported; the commit tried to fix the case when the range
includes higher values than 0x9.
Unfortunately, the commit didn't fix the case when the range includes both
0x9 and 0xA, meaning that the final range must look like [x-9A-y] where
x <= 0x9 and y >= 0xA -- instead the [x-9A-x] range was produced.
Modprobe doesn't complain as it sees no difference between no-match and
bad-pattern results of fnmatch().
Fixing this simple bug to fix the aliases.
Also changing the hardcoded beginning of the range to uppercase as all the
other letters are also uppercase in the device version numbers.
Fortunately, this affects only the dvb-usb-dib0700 module, AFAIK.
