kprobes: Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro to maintain kprobes blacklist
Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro which builds a kprobes
blacklist at kernel build time.
The usage of this macro is similar to EXPORT_SYMBOL(),
placed after the function definition:
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(function);
Since this macro will inhibit inlining of static/inline
functions, this patch also introduces a nokprobe_inline macro
for static/inline functions. In this case, we must use
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for the inline function caller.
When CONFIG_KPROBES=y, the macro stores the given function
address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section.
Since the data structures are not fully initialized by the
macro (because there is no "size" information), those
are re-initialized at boot time by using kallsyms.

x86, asm: Extend definitions of _ASM_* with a raw format
The __ASM_* macros (e.g. __ASM_DX) are used to return the proper
register name (e.g. edx for 32bit / rdx for 64bit). We want to use
this also in arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h / get_user() . For this
to work, we need a raw form as both gcc and clang choke on the
whitespace in a register asm() statement, and the __ASM_FORM macro
surrounds the argument with blanks. A new macro, __ASM_FORM_RAW was
added and we change __ASM_REG to use the new RAW form.

x86, extable: Switch to relative exception table entries
Switch to using relative exception table entries on x86. On i386,
this has the advantage that the exception table entries don't need to
be relocated; on x86-64 this means the exception table entries take up
only half the space.
In either case, a 32-bit delta is sufficient, as the range of kernel
code addresses is limited.
Since part of the goal is to avoid needing to adjust the entries when
the kernel is relocated, the old trick of using addresses in the NULL
pointer range to indicate uaccess_err no longer works (and unlike RISC
architectures we can't use a flag bit); instead use an delta just
below +2G to indicate these special entries. The reach is still
limited to a single instruction.

x86, extable: Use .pushsection ... .popsection for _ASM_EXTABLE()
Instead of using .section ... .previous, use .pushsection
... .popsection; this is (hopefully) a bit more robust, especially in
complex assembly code.

x86: Fix write lock scalability 64-bit issue
With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there
is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing
the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more
CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the
inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough).
A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new
value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to
nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue.
Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a
little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less
nesting would suffice.
However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more
nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible
currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened
to 64 bits.
