The test calls vmap() directly, but vmap() is not supported on nommu

The modules are being moved from lib/livepatch to
tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test_modules.
This code moving will allow writing more complex tests, like for example an
userspace C code that will call a livepatched kernel function.
The modules are now built as out-of-tree
modules, but being part of the kernel source means they will be maintained.
Another advantage of the code moving is to be able to easily change,
debug and rebuild the tests by running make on the selftests/livepatch
directory, which is not currently possible since the modules on
lib/livepatch are build and installed using the "modules" target.
The current approach also keeps the ability to execute the tests manually
by executing the scripts inside selftests/livepatch directory, as it's
currently supported. If the modules are modified, they needed to be
rebuilt before running the scripts though.
The modules are built before running the selftests when using the
kselftest invocations:
make kselftest TARGETS=livepatch
or
make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch run_tests
Having the modules being built as out-of-modules requires changing the
currently used 'modprobe' by 'insmod' and adapt the test scripts that
check for the kernel message buffer.
Now it is possible to only compile the modules by running:
make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/
This way the test modules and other test program can be built in order
to be packaged if so desired.
As there aren't any modules being built on lib/livepatch, remove the
TEST_LIVEPATCH Kconfig and it's references.
Note: "make gen_tar" packages the pre-built binaries into the tarball.
It means that it will store the test modules pre-built for
the kernel running on the build host.
Note that these modules need not binary compatible with
the kernel built from the same sources. But the same
is true for other packaged selftest binaries.
The entire kernel sources are needed for rebuilding
the selftests on another system.

Fangrui noted that the comment around CONFIG_AS_HAS_NON_CONST_LEB128
could be made more accurate because explicit .sleb128 directives are not

CONFIG_AS_HAS_NON_CONST_ULEB128 as a result.
Further clarifications include replacing "symbol deltas" with the more
accurate "label differences", noting that this issue has been resolved
in newer binutils (2.41+), and it only occurs when a port uses RISC-V
style linker relaxation.

LLVM prior to 18.0.0 would generate incorrect debug info for DWARF5 due
to linker relaxation, which was worked around in clang by defaulting
RISC-V to DWARF4 [1]. Unfortunately, this workaround does not work for
the kernel because the DWARF version can be independently changed from
the default in Kconfig.
Do not allow DWARF5 to be selected for RISC-V when using linker
relaxation (ld.lld >= 15.0.0) and a version of LLVM that does not have
the fixes (the integrated assembler [2] and ld.lld [3] < 18.0.0)
necessary to generate the correct debug info.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)
Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
reusing the PG_workingset flag.
This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29bc0
("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab()
fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick
and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that
amplifies the lock contention and can fail.
As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of
stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec
- SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka)
The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has
objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS,
which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now.
This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead
code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up
gradually (some series are already in the works).
Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and
optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB
implementation.

The Kconfig help text for CONFIG_KCOV describes that recorded PC values
will not be stable across machines or reboots when RANDOMIZE_BASE is
selected. This was the case when KCOV was introduced in commit:
5c9a8750a6 ("kernel: add kcov code coverage")
However, this changed in commit:
4983f0ab7f ("kcov: make kcov work properly with KASLR enabled")
Since that commit KCOV always subtracts the KASLR offset from PC values,
which ensures that these are stable across machines and across reboots
even when RANDOMIZE_BASE is selected.
Unfortunately, that commit failed to update the Kconfig help text, which
still suggests disabling RANDOMIZE_BASE even though this is no longer
necessary.
Remove the stale Kconfig text.

This code is rarely (never?) enabled by distros, and it hasn't caught
anything in decades. Let's kill off this legacy debug code.
