[ Upstream commit 46d28947d9876fc0f8f93d3c69813ef6e9852595 ]
The exception table entries contain the instruction address, the fixup
address and the handler address. All addresses are relative. Storing the
handler address has a few downsides:
1) Most handlers need to be exported
2) Handlers can be defined everywhere and there is no overview about the
handler types
3) MCE needs to check the handler type to decide whether an in kernel #MC
can be recovered. The functionality of the handler itself is not in any
way special, but for these checks there need to be separate functions
which in the worst case have to be exported.
Some of these 'recoverable' exception fixups are pretty obscure and
just reuse some other handler to spare code. That obfuscates e.g. the
#MC safe copy functions. Cleaning that up would require more handlers
and exports
Rework the exception fixup mechanics by storing a fixup type number instead
of the handler address and invoke the proper handler for each fixup
type. Also teach the extable sort to leave the type field alone.
This makes most handlers static except for special cases like the MCE
MSR fixup and the BPF fixup. This allows to add more types for cleaning up
the obscure places without adding more handler code and exports.
There is a marginal code size reduction for a production config and it
removes _eight_ exported symbols.

Fix the following build failure reported in [1] by adding a conditional
definition of EM_RISCV in order to allow cross-compilation on machines
which do not have EM_RISCV definition in their host.
scripts/sorttable.c:352:7: error: use of undeclared identifier 'EM_RISCV'
EM_RISCV was added to <elf.h> in glibc 2.24 so builds on systems with
glibc headers < 2.24 should show this error.

Enable BUILDTIME_TABLE_SORT to sort the exception table at build time

This is a s390 port of commit 548acf19234d ("x86/mm: Expand the
exception table logic to allow new handling options"), which is needed
for implementing BPF_PROBE_MEM on s390.
The new handler field is made 64-bit in order to allow pointing from
dynamically allocated entries to handlers in kernel text. Unlike on x86,
NULL is used instead of ex_handler_default. This is because exception
tables are used by boot/text_dma.S, and it would be a pain to preserve
ex_handler_default.
The new infrastructure is ignored in early_pgm_check_handler, since
there is no pt_regs.

The ORC unwinder has two tables: .orc_unwind_ip and .orc_unwind, which
need to be sorted for binary search. Previously this sorting was done
during bootup.
Sort them at build time to speed up booting.
Add the ORC tables sorting in a parallel build process to speed up the build.

Use a more generic name for additional table sorting usecases,
such as the upcoming ORC table sorting feature. This tool is
not tied to exception table sorting anymore.
No functional changes intended.
