Nicolas Pitre daece59689 ARM: 7013/1: P2V: Remove ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT_16BIT
This code can be removed now that MSM targets no longer need the 16-bit
offsets for P2V.

Dave Martin 80f0aad77f ARM: 6766/1: Thumb-2: Reflect ARM/Thumb-2 configuration in module vermagic
Loading Thumb-2 modules into an ARM kernel or vice-versa isn't
guaranteed to work safely, since the kernel is not interworking-
aware everywhere.

This patch adds "thumb2" to the module vermagic when
CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL is enabled, to help avoid accidental loading
of modules into the wrong kernel.

Russell King cada3c0841 ARM: P2V: extend to 16-bit translation offsets
MSM's memory is aligned to 2MB, which is more than we can do with our
existing method as we're limited to the upper 8 bits.  Extend this by
using two instructions to 16 bits, automatically selected when MSM is
enabled.

Russell King dc21af99fa ARM: P2V: introduce phys_to_virt/virt_to_phys runtime patching
This idea came from Nicolas, Eric Miao produced an initial version,
which was then rewritten into this.

Patch the physical to virtual translations at runtime.  As we modify
the code, this makes it incompatible with XIP kernels, but allows us
to achieve this with minimal loss of performance.

As many translations are of the form:

	physical = virtual + (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET)
	virtual = physical - (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET)

we generate an 'add' instruction for __virt_to_phys(), and a 'sub'
instruction for __phys_to_virt().  We calculate at run time (PHYS_OFFSET
- PAGE_OFFSET) by comparing the address prior to MMU initialization with
where it should be once the MMU has been initialized, and place this
constant into the above add/sub instructions.

Once we have (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET), we can calculate the real
PHYS_OFFSET as PAGE_OFFSET is a build-time constant, and save this for
the C-mode PHYS_OFFSET variable definition to use.

At present, we are unable to support Realview with Sparsemem enabled
as this uses a complex mapping function, and MSM as this requires a
constant which will not fit in our math instruction.

Add a module version magic string for this feature to prevent
incompatible modules being loaded.

Russell King 8931360eb9 ARM: module: clean up handling of ELF unwind tables
There's no need to keep pointers to the ELF sections available while
the module is loaded - we only need the section pointers while we're
finding and registering the unwind tables, which can all be done during
the finalize stage of loading.

Phil Carmody 09e56a2d07 ARM: 6340/1: module - additional unwind tables for exit/devexit sections
Without these, exit functions cannot be stack-traced, so to speak.
This implies that module unloads that perform allocations (don't
laugh) will cause noisy warnings on the console when kmemleak is
enabled, as it presumes that all code's call chains are traceable.
Similarly, BUGs and WARN_ONs will give additional console spam.

Phil Carmody e5f7772eec ARM: 6339/1: module - simplify unwind table handling
The various sections are all dealt with similarly, so factor out
that common behaviour. (Incorporating Peter Huewe's fix.)
