With CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS, __gendwarfksyms_ptr variables are
added to the kernel in EXPORT_SYMBOL() to ensure DWARF type
information is available for exported symbols in the TUs where
they're actually exported. These symbols are dropped when linking
vmlinux, but dangling references to them remain in DWARF.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled on X86, pahole versions after
commit 47dcb534e253 ("btf_encoder: Stop indexing symbols for
VARs") and before commit 9810758003ce ("btf_encoder: Verify 0
address DWARF variables are in ELF section") place these symbols
in the .data..percpu section, which results in an "Invalid
offset" error in btf_datasec_check_meta() during boot, as all
the variables are at zero offset and have non-zero size. If
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES is enabled, this also results in a
failure to load modules with:

  failed to validate module [$module] BTF: -22

As the issue occurs in pahole v1.28 and the fix was merged
after v1.29 was released, require pahole <v1.28 or >v1.29 when
GENDWARFKSYMS is enabled with DEBUG_INFO_BTF on X86.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Restructure the persistent memory to have a "scratch" area

   Instead of hard coding the KASLR offset in the persistent memory by
   the ring buffer, push that work up to the callers of the persistent
   memory as they are the ones that need this information. The offsets
   and such is not important to the ring buffer logic and it should not
   be part of that.

   A scratch pad is now created when the caller allocates a ring buffer
   from persistent memory by stating how much memory it needs to save.

 - Allow where modules are loaded to be saved in the new scratch pad

   Save the addresses of modules when they are loaded into the
   persistent memory scratch pad.

 - A new module_for_each_mod() helper function was created

   With the acknowledgement of the module maintainers a new module
   helper function was created to iterate over all the currently loaded
   modules. This has a callback to be called for each module. This is
   needed for when tracing is started in the persistent buffer and the
   currently loaded modules need to be saved in the scratch area.

 - Expose the last boot information where the kernel and modules were
   loaded

   The last_boot_info file is updated to print out the addresses of
   where the kernel "_text" location was loaded from a previous boot, as
   well as where the modules are loaded. If the buffer is recording the
   current boot, it only prints "# Current" so that it does not expose
   the KASLR offset of the currently running kernel.

 - Allow the persistent ring buffer to be released (freed)

   To have this in production environments, where the kernel command
   line can not be changed easily, the ring buffer needs to be freed
   when it is not going to be used. The memory for the buffer will
   always be allocated at boot up, but if the system isn't going to
   enable tracing, the memory needs to be freed. Allow it to be freed
   and added back to the kernel memory pool.

 - Allow stack traces to print the function names in the persistent
   buffer

   Now that the modules are saved in the persistent ring buffer, if the
   same modules are loaded, the printing of the function names will
   examine the saved modules. If the module is found in the scratch area
   and is also loaded, then it will do the offset shift and use kallsyms
   to display the function name. If the address is not found, it simply
   displays the address from the previous boot in hex.

The tracing system needs a way to save all the currently loaded modules
and their addresses into persistent memory so that it can evaluate the
addresses on a reboot from a crash. When the persistent memory trace
starts, it will load the module addresses and names into the persistent
memory. To do so, it will call the module_for_each_mod() function and pass
it a function and data structure to get called on each loaded module. Then
it can record the memory.

This only implements that function.

The size parameter is optional and strscpy() automatically determines
the length of the destination buffer using sizeof() if the argument is
omitted. This makes the explicit sizeof() unnecessary. Remove it to
shorten and simplify the code.

strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers; use
strscpy() instead. The destination buffer ownername is only used with
"%s" format strings and must therefore be NUL-terminated, but not NUL-
padded.

No functional changes intended.

search_module_extables() returns an exception_table_entry belonging to a
module. The lookup via __module_address() can be performed with RCU
protection.
The returned exception_table_entry remains valid because the passed
address usually belongs to a module that is currently executed. So the
module can not be removed because "something else" holds a reference to
it, ensuring that it can not be removed.
Exceptions here are:
- kprobe, acquires a reference on the module beforehand
- MCE, invokes the function from within a timer and the RCU lifetime
  guarantees (of the timer) are sufficient.

Therefore it is safe to return the exception_table_entry outside the RCU
section which provided the module.

Use RCU for the lookup in search_module_extables() and update the
comment.

mod_find() uses either the modules list to find a module or a tree
lookup (CONFIG_MODULES_TREE_LOOKUP). The list and the tree can both be
iterated under RCU assumption (as well as RCU-sched).

Remove module_assert_mutex_or_preempt() from __module_address() and
entirely since __module_address() is the last user.
