mainlining shenanigans

A kernel built with KASAN && FTRACE_WITH_REGS && !MODULES, produces a
boot-time splat in the bowels of ftrace:

This is due to an unfortunate combination of several factors.
Building with KASAN results in the compiler generating anonymous
functions to register/unregister global variables against the shadow
memory. These functions are placed in .text.startup/.text.exit, and
given mangled names like _GLOBAL__sub_{I,D}_65535_0_$OTHER_SYMBOL. The
kernel linker script places these in .init.text and .exit.text
respectively, which are both discarded at runtime as part of initmem.
Building with FTRACE_WITH_REGS uses -fpatchable-function-entry=2, which
also instruments KASAN's anonymous functions. When these are discarded
with the rest of initmem, ftrace removes dangling references to these
call sites.
Building without MODULES implicitly disables STRICT_MODULE_RWX, and
causes arm64's patch_map() function to treat any !core_kernel_text()
symbol as something that can be modified in-place. As core_kernel_text()
is only true for .text and .init.text, with the latter depending on
system_state < SYSTEM_RUNNING, we'll treat .exit.text as something that
can be patched in-place. However, .exit.text is mapped read-only.
Hence in this configuration the ftrace init code blows up while trying
to patch one of the functions generated by KASAN.
We could try to filter out the call sites in .exit.text rather than
initializing them, but this would be inconsistent with how we handle
.init.text, and requires hooking into core bits of ftrace. The behaviour
of patch_map() is also inconsistent today, so instead let's clean that
up and have it consistently handle .exit.text.
This patch teaches patch_map() to handle .exit.text at init time,
preventing the boot-time splat above. The flow of patch_map() is
reworked to make the logic clearer and minimize redundant
conditionality.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
