Instead of using absolute addresses for both the exception location
and the fixup, use offsets relative to the exception table entry values.
Not only does this cut the size of the exception table in half, it is
also a prerequisite for KASLR, since absolute exception table entries
are subject to dynamic relocation, which is incompatible with the sorting
of the exception table that occurs at build time.
This patch also introduces the _ASM_EXTABLE preprocessor macro (which
exists on x86 as well) and its _asm_extable assembly counterpart, as
shorthands to emit exception table entries.

In C programming language, we don't have a easy way to privatize a
member of a structure. However in kernel, sometimes there is a need to
privatize a member in case of potential bugs or misuses.
Fortunately, the noderef attribute of sparse is a way to privatize a
member, as by defining a member as noderef, the address-of operator on
the member will produce a noderef pointer to that member, and if anyone
wants to dereference that kind of pointers to read or modify the member,
sparse will yell.
Based on this, __private modifier and related operation ACCESS_PRIVATE()
are introduced, which could help detect undesigned public uses of
private members of structs. Here is an example of sparse's output if it
detect an undersigned public use:
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers)
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: expected struct raw_spinlock [usertype] *lock
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: got struct raw_spinlock [noderef] *<noident>
Also, this patch improves compiler.h a little bit by adding comments for
"#else" and "#endif".

This patch adds support for signing a kernel module with a raw
detached PKCS#7 signature/message.
The signature is not converted and is simply appended to the module so
it needs to be in the right format. Using openssl, a valid signature can
be generated like this:
$ openssl smime -sign -nocerts -noattr -binary -in <module> -inkey \
<key> -signer <x509> -outform der -out <raw sig>
The resulting raw signature from the above command is (more or less)
identical to the raw signature that sign-file itself can produce like
this:
$ scripts/sign-file -d <hash algo> <key> <x509> <module>

Huge amounts of help from Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to
produce this. Andy provided the inspiration to add classes to the
exception table with a clever bit-squeezing trick, Boris pointed
out how much cleaner it would all be if we just had a new field.
Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with:
' I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space
in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody. '
The third field is another relative function pointer, this one to a
handler that executes the actions.
We start out with three handlers:
1: Legacy - just jumps the to fixup IP
2: Fault - provide the trap number in %ax to the fixup code
3: Cleaned up legacy for the uaccess error hack

Long ago, Dave Jones complained about CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO:
"I don't use the auto config, because I end up filling up /boot unless
I go through and clean them out by hand every time I install a new one
(which I do probably a dozen or so times a day). Is there some easy
way to prune old builds I'm missing?"
To which Bruce replied:
"I run this by hand every now and then. I'm probably doing it all wrong"
And if he is running it wrong, then so am I - because I've been using
this script ever since. It is true that CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO easily
ends up filling your /boot partition if you don't clean up old versions
regularly, and this script helps make that easier.
Checked with Bruce to see that it's fine to add this to the kernel
scripts. Maybe people will come up with enhancements, but more
importantly, this way I won't misplace this script whenever I install a
new machine and start doing custom kernels for it.

Since the output of the invocation of scripts/kallsyms is piped directly
into the assembler, error messages it emits are visible on stderr, but
a non-zero return code is ignored, and the build simply proceeds in that
case. However, the resulting kernel is most likely broken, and will crash
at boot.
So instead, capture the output of kallsyms in a separate .S file, and pass
that to the assembler in a separate step.

Prior to 3.13 make allmodconfig KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=/dev/null used
to be equivalent to make allmodconfig; these days it hardwires MODULES to n.
In fact, any KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG that doesn't set MODULES explicitly is
treated as if it set it to n.
Regression had been introduced by commit cfa98f ("kconfig: do not
override symbols already set"); what happens is that conf_read_simple()
does sym_calc_value(modules_sym) on exit, which leaves SYMBOL_VALID set and
has conf_set_all_new_symbols() skip modules_sym.
It's pretty easy to fix - simply move that call of sym_calc_value()
into the callers, except for the ones in KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG handling.

No other kernel installation target moves the target directory out of
the way, even deleting an old version of it. These are destructive
operations, ones which the kernel build system should not be making.
This behaviour prevents being able to do:
make install INSTALL_PATH=/some/path/boot
make dtbs_install INSTALL_DTBS_PATH=/some/path/boot
As it causes the boot directory containing the kernel installed in
step 1 to be moved to /some/path/boot.old. Things get even more fun
if you do:
make install dtbs_install INSTALL_PATH=/some/path/boot INSTALL_DTBS_PATH=/some/path/boot
The kernel gets installed into /some/path/boot, then the directory gets
renamed to /some/path/boot.old, and a new directory created to hold the
dtbs. Even more fun if you supply -j2 when we end up with races in
make.
Remove this behaviour.
If this behaviour is required at installation time, this should be
done by the installation external to the kernel makefiles, just like
it would be done for 'make modules_install'.
