Improve the debuggability of relocations output. When trying to compare
the output between different linkers, it's handy to be able to see the
section names in output.

The GNU linker tries to put __per_cpu_load into the percpu area,
resulting in a lack of its relocation. Force this symbol to be
relocated. Seen starting with GNU ld 2.23 and later.

The "gold" linker doesn't seem to put some additional per-cpu cases in
the right place. Add these to the per-cpu check. Without this, the kASLR
patch series fails to correctly apply relocations, and fails to boot.

The __vvar_page relocation should actually be listed in S_REL instead
of S_ABS. Oddly, this didn't always cause things to break, presumably
because there are no users for relocation information on 64 bits yet.

This adds the ability to process relocations from the 64-bit kernel ELF,
if built with ELF_BITS=64 defined. The special case for the percpu area is
handled, along with some other symbols specific to the 64-bit kernel.

Instead of counting and then processing relocations, do it in a single
pass. This splits the processing logic into separate functions for
realmode and 32-bit (and paves the way for 64-bit). Also extracts helper
functions when emitting relocations.

Pull x86 trampoline rework from H. Peter Anvin:
"This code reworks all the "trampoline"/"realmode" code (various bits
that need to live in the first megabyte of memory, most but not all of
which runs in real mode at some point) in the kernel into a single
object. The main reason for doing this is that it eliminates the last
place in the kernel where we needed pages to be mapped RWX. This code
separates all that code into proper R/RW/RX pages."
Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile (mca removed next to reboot
code), and arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c (reboot code moved around in one
branch, modified in this one), and arch/x86/tools/relocs.c (mostly same
code came in earlier due to working around the ld bugs just before the
3.4 release).
Also remove stale x86-relocs entry from scripts/.gitignore as per Peter
Anvin.

The symbol jiffies is created in the linker script as an alias to
jiffies_64. Unfortunately this is done outside any section, and
apparently GNU ld 2.21 doesn't carry the section with it, so we end up
with an absolute symbol and therefore a broken kernel.
Add jiffies and jiffies_64 to the whitelist.
The most disturbing bit with this discovery is that it shows that we
have had multiple linker bugs in this area crossing multiple
generations, and have been silently building bad kernels for some time.

As noted in checkin:
a3e854d95 x86, relocs: Workaround for binutils 2.22.52.0.1 section bug
ld version 2.22.52.0.[12] can incorrectly promote relative symbols to
absolute, if the output section they appear in is otherwise empty.
Since checkin:
6520fe55 x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool
we actually check for this and error out rather than silently creating
a kernel which will malfunction if relocated.
Ingo found a configuration in which __start_builtin_fw triggered the
warning.
Go through the linker script sources and look for more symbols that
could plausibly get bogusly promoted to absolute, and add them to the
whitelist.
In general, if the following error triggers:
Invalid absolute R_386_32 relocation: <symbol>
... then we should verify that <symbol> is really meant to be
relocated, and add it and any related symbols manually to the S_REL
regexp.
Please note that 6520fe55 does not introduce the error, only the check
for the error -- without 6520fe55 this version of ld will simply
produce a corrupt kernel if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set on x86-32.

When the relocs tool throws an error, let the error message say if it
is an absolute or relative symbol. This should make it a lot more
clear what action the programmer needs to take and should help us find
the reason if additional symbol bugs show up.

GNU ld 2.22.52.0.1 has a bug that it blindly changes symbols from
section-relative to absolute if they are in a section of zero length.
This turns the symbols __init_begin and __init_end into absolute
symbols. Let the relocs program know that those should be treated as
relative symbols.

A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
relocate the code properly.
In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.
16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
real-mode code.
The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.
[ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute
relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently
produces bad kernels. ]
