Livepatching a loaded module involves applying relocations through
apply_relocate_add(), which attempts to write to read-only memory when
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y.  Work around this by performing these
writes through the text poke area by using patch_instruction().

R_PPC_REL24 is the only relocation type generated by the kpatch-build
userspace tool or klp-convert kernel tree that I observed applying a
relocation to a post-init module.

A more comprehensive solution is planned, but using patch_instruction()
for R_PPC_REL24 on should serve as a sufficient fix.

This does have a performance impact, I observed ~15% overhead in
module_load() on POWER8 bare metal with checksum verification off.

<title>powerpc/module_64: Use special stub for _mcount() with -mprofile-kernel</title>

Since commit c55d7b5e64265f ("powerpc: Remove STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
incompatibility with RELOCATABLE"), powerpc kernels with
-mprofile-kernel can crash in certain scenarios with a trace like below:

    BUG: Unable to handle kernel instruction fetch (NULL pointer?)
    Faulting instruction address: 0x00000000
    Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
    LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Radix SMP NR_CPUS=256 DEBUG_PAGEALLOC NUMA PowerNV
    &lt;snip&gt;
    NIP [0000000000000000] 0x0
    LR [c0080000102c0048] ext4_iomap_end+0x8/0x30 [ext4]
    Call Trace:
     iomap_apply+0x20c/0x920 (unreliable)
     iomap_bmap+0xfc/0x160
     ext4_bmap+0xa4/0x180 [ext4]
     bmap+0x4c/0x80
     jbd2_journal_init_inode+0x44/0x1a0 [jbd2]
     ext4_load_journal+0x440/0x860 [ext4]

     do_mount+0xa18/0xc50
     sys_mount+0x158/0x180
     system_call+0x5c/0x68

The NIP points to NULL, or a random location (data even), while the LR
always points to the LEP of a function (with an offset of 8), indicating
that something went wrong with ftrace. However, ftrace is not
necessarily active when such crashes occur.

The kernel OOPS sometimes follows a warning from ftrace indicating that
some module functions could not be patched with a nop. Other times, if a
module is loaded early during boot, instruction patching can fail due to
a separate bug, but the error is not reported due to missing error
reporting.

In all the above cases when instruction patching fails, ftrace will be
disabled but certain kernel module functions will be left with default
calls to _mcount(). This is not a problem with ELFv1. However, with
-mprofile-kernel, the default stub is problematic since it depends on a
valid module TOC in r2. If the kernel (or a different module) calls into
a function that does not use the TOC, the function won't have a prologue
to setup the module TOC. When that function calls into _mcount(), we
will end up in the relocation stub that will use the previous TOC, and
end up trying to jump into a random location. From the above trace:

	iomap_apply+0x20c/0x920 [kernel TOC]
			|
			V
	ext4_iomap_end+0x8/0x30 [no GEP == kernel TOC]
			|
			V
		_mcount() stub
	[uses kernel TOC -&gt; random entry]

To address this, let's change over to using the special stub that is
used for ftrace_[regs_]caller() for _mcount(). This ensures that we are
not dependent on a valid module TOC in r2 for default _mcount()
handling.

For -mprofile-kernel, we need special handling when generating stubs for
ftrace calls such as _mcount(). To faciliate this, we check if a
R_PPC64_REL24 relocation is for a symbol named "_mcount()" along with
also checking the instruction sequence. The latter is not really
required since "_mcount()" is an exported symbol and kernel modules
cannot use it. As such, drop the additional checking and simplify the
code. This helps unify stub creation for ftrace stubs with
-mprofile-kernel and aids in code reuse.

Also rename is_mprofile_mcount_callsite() to is_mprofile_ftrace_call()
to reflect the checking being done.

module_trampoline_target() is only used by ftrace. Move the prototype
within the appropriate #ifdef in the header. Also, move the function

one place.

In preparation for instructions having a more complex data type start
using a macro, ppc_inst(), for making an instruction out of a u32.  A
macro is used so that instructions can be used as initializer elements.
Currently this does nothing, but it will allow for creating a data type
that can represent prefixed instructions.

Replace relaswap with built-in one, because relaswap
does a simple byte to byte swap.

Since Spectre mitigations have made indirect function calls more
expensive, and the default simple byte copies swap is implemented
without them, an "optimized" custom swap function is now
a waste of time as well as code.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.
