Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
 "More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization
  (LTO).  Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from
  assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't
  remove them.

  My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
  upstream in binutils, but are on the way there.  This patchset should
  conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
  enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up
  with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not
  necessarily in this merge window"

Add processing for normally encountered thumb relocation types so that
section mismatches will be detected.

Comment from Rusty Russell follows:

Happiest for this to go through an ARM tree, so:

LTO turns all global symbols effectively into statics. This
has the side effect that they all have a .NUMBER postfix to make
them unique. In modpost drop this postfix because it confuses
it.

This reference is discarded, but can cause warnings when it refers to

This is a workaround and can be removed once we get rid of

For some reason I managed to trick gcc into create CRC symbols that are
not absolute anymore, but weak.

Make modpost handle this case.

Andi's change in e0f244c63fc9 ("asmlinkage, module: Make ksymtab and
kcrctab symbols and __this_module __visible") make the crc appear
first in the symbol table.

modpost creates an entry when it sees the CRC, then when it sees the
actual symbol, it complains that it's seen it before.  The preloaded
flag already exists for the equivalent case where we loaded from
Module.symvers, so use that.

Make the ksymtab symbols for EXPORT_SYMBOL visible.
This prevents the LTO compiler from adding a .NUMBER prefix,
which avoids various problems in later export processing.
