Now that binutils generate *.unlikely sections which don't follow
documented (info as) literal section naming rules, section name
transformation script doesn't work well resulting in the following
errors at vmlinux link time:

	main.c:(.text.unlikely+0x3): dangerous relocation: l32r: literal
				     placed after use: .literal.unlikely

Fix section name transformation script by adding specific rule for
.text.unlikely sections.

The Xtensa architecture requires to patch the generated linker script
to insert precede certain sections with a .literal section. Ammend the
sed script to fix-up only sequences that start with a '*':
'*(.init.text)' -&gt; '*(.init.literal .init.text)'

Albin Tonnerre &lt;albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com&gt; reported:

    Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
    This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
    This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
    build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
    or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)

Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.

This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.

Notes for the different architectures touched:

arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
       [Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
       Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
       the linker script.
       [Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
          [not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
         [not build tested]

<title>xtensa: Fix linker script to include .literal sections</title>

<id>78f3cdfa2ac0aa2b72b3ee7e4b3c3e550230179f</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix resembles implementation from Marc Gauthier and Piet Denaly:

In the Xtensa architecture, assembly generates literals which must always
precede the code (the L32R instruction that loads them only uses negative
PC-relative offsets).  For any *.text section, literals are placed in a
corresponding *.literal section.  The linker script (vmlinux.lds) must
place these in the correct order.  It must also combine them, when the
*.text section can be larger than L32R's 256 kB range.

For example, this doesn't work:  *(.literal) *(.text) because L32R
instructions at the end of .text can't reach the literals.

The linker can solve this if they are combined in parentheses, like this:
       *(.literal .text)
because it is now allowed mix literals in .text to bring them in range.

None of this is done by standard vmlinux.lds.h macros such as TEXT_TEXT
and INIT_TEXT.  To avoid replicating the logic of that header file, we
instead post-process the generated linker script to convert *(xxx.text)
to *(xxx.literal xxx.text) for the following text sections:
       .text .ref.text .*init.text .*exit.text .text.*
using a sed script.  To do this we must override the default rule for
vmlinux.lds (see scripts/Makefile.build and the top-level Makefile)
to insert this extra step.

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility.  Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning.  Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.
