The handling of DW_CFA_val_offset ops was incorrectly using the
DWARF_REG_OFFSET flag but the register's value cannot be calculated
using the DWARF_REG_OFFSET method. Create a new flag to indicate that a
different method must be used to calculate the register's value even
though there is no implementation for DWARF_VAL_OFFSET yet; it's mainly
just a place holder.

Plug a memory leak in dwarf_unwinder_dump() where we didn't free the
memory that we had previously allocated for the DWARF frames and DWARF
registers.
Now is also a opportune time to implement our own mempool and kmem
cache. It's a good idea to have a certain number of frame and register
objects in reserve at all times, so that we are guaranteed to have our
allocation satisfied even when memory is scarce. Since we have pools to
allocate from we can implement the registers for each frame as a linked
list as opposed to a sparsely populated array. Whilst it's true that the
lookup time for a linked list is larger than for arrays, there's only
usually a maximum of 8 registers per frame. So the overhead isn't that
much of a concern.

This moves the initialization over to an early_initcall(). This fixes up
some lockdep interaction issues. At the same time, kill off some
superfluous locking in the init path.

Also, remove the "fix" to DW_CFA_def_cfa_register where we reset the
frame's cfa_offset to 0. This action is incorrect when handling
DW_CFA_def_cfa_register as the DWARF spec specifically states that the
previous contents of cfa_offset should be used with the new
register. The reason that I thought cfa_offset should be reset to 0 was
because it was being assigned a bogus value prior to executing the
DW_CFA_def_cfa_register op. It turns out that the bogus cfa_offset value
came from interpreting .cfi_escape pseudo-ops (those used by the GNU
extensions) as CFA_DW_def_cfa ops.

Trying to figure out the best value for DWARF_ARCH_UNWIND_OFFSET is
tricky at best. Various things can change the size (and offset from the
beginning of the function) of the prologue. Notably, turning on ftrace
adds calls to mcount at the beginning of functions, thereby pushing the
prologue further into the function.
So replace DWARF_ARCH_UNWIND_OFFSET with some code that continues to
execute CFA instructions until the value of return address register is
defined. This is safe to do because we know that the return address must
have been pushed onto the frame before our first function call; we just
can't figure out where at compile-time.

This is a first cut at a generic DWARF unwinder for the kernel. It's
still lacking DWARF64 support and the DWARF expression support hasn't
been tested very well but it is generating proper stacktraces on SH for
WARN_ON() and NULL dereferences.
