When compiling a kernel with Clang and LTO, we need to run
recordmcount on vmlinux.o with a large number of sections, which
currently fails as the program doesn't understand extended
section indexes. This change adds support for processing binaries
with &gt;64k sections.

The removal of the longjmp code in recordmcount.c mistakenly made the return
of make_nop() being negative an exit of nop_mcount(). It should not exit the
routine, but instead just not process that part of the code. By exiting with
an error code, it would cause the update of recordmcount to fail some files
which would fail the build if ftrace function tracing was enabled.

<title>recordmcount: Remove redundant cleanup() calls</title>

<content type='text'>
Redundant cleanup calls were introduced when transitioning from
the old error/success handling via setjmp/longjmp -- the longjmp
ensured the cleanup() call only happened once but replacing
the success_file()/fail_file() calls with cleanup() meant that
multiple cleanup() calls can happen as we return from function
calls.

In do_file(), looking just before and after the "goto out" jumps we
can see that multiple cleanups() are being performed. We remove
cleanup() calls from the nested functions because it makes the code
easier to review -- the resources being cleaned up are generally
allocated and initialized in the callers so freeing them there
makes more sense.

Other redundant cleanup() calls:

mmap_file() is only called from do_file() and, if mmap_file() fails,
then we goto out and do cleanup() there too.

write_file() is only called from do_file() and do_file()
calls cleanup() unconditionally after returning from write_file()
therefore the cleanup() calls in write_file() are not necessary.

find_secsym_ndx(), called from do_func()'s for-loop, when we are
cleaning up here it's obvious that we break out of the loop and
do another cleanup().

__has_rel_mcount() is called from two parts of do_func()
and calls cleanup(). In theory we move them into do_func(), however
these in turn prove redundant so another simplification step
removes them as well.

Recordmcount uses setjmp/longjmp to manage control flow as
it reads and then writes the ELF file. This unusual control
flow is hard to follow and check in addition to being unlike
kernel coding style.

So we rewrite these paths to use regular return values to
indicate error/success. When an error or previously-completed object
file is found we return an error code following kernel
coding conventions -- negative error values and 0 for success when
we're not returning a pointer. We return NULL for those that fail
and return non-NULL pointers otherwise.

One oddity is already_has_rel_mcount -- there we use pointer comparison
rather than string comparison to differentiate between
previously-processed object files and returning the name of a text
section.

<title>recordmcount: Remove unused fd from uwrite() and ulseek()</title>

uwrite() works within the pseudo-mapping and extends it as necessary
without needing the file descriptor (fd) parameter passed to it.
Similarly, ulseek() doesn't need its fd parameter. These parameters
were only added because the functions bear a conceptual resemblance
to write() and lseek(). Worse, they obscure the fact that at the time
uwrite() and ulseek() are called fd_map is not a valid file descriptor.

Remove the unused file descriptor parameters that make it look like
fd_map is still valid.

 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,

     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf

     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.

Looking at the relocation records in __mcount_loc shows a few spurious
entries:

  RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [__mcount_loc]:
  OFFSET           TYPE              VALUE
  0000000000000000 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .text.unlikely+0x0000000000000008
  0000000000000008 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .text.unlikely+0x0000000000000014
  0000000000000010 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .text.unlikely+0x0000000000000060
  0000000000000018 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .text.unlikely+0x00000000000000b4

  0000000000000028 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .init.text+0x0000000000000014

The first entry in each section is incorrect. Looking at the
relocation records, the spurious entries correspond to the
R_PPC64_ENTRY records:

  RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text.unlikely]:
  OFFSET           TYPE              VALUE
  0000000000000000 R_PPC64_REL64     .TOC.-0x0000000000000008
  0000000000000008 R_PPC64_ENTRY     *ABS*
  0000000000000014 R_PPC64_REL24     _mcount
  &lt;snip&gt;

The problem is that we are not validating the return value from
get_mcountsym() in sift_rel_mcount(). With this entry, mcountsym is 0,
but Elf_r_sym(relp) also ends up being 0. Fix this by ensuring
mcountsym is valid before processing the entry.
