aea0932655 kmod/core: remove sync_core comment
No need to call sync_core() since we aren't directly modifying any code.

aa5346d13b kmod/core: remove comments about preemption
Preemption shouldn't cause a problem with determining activeness safety.
Even if a thread is preempted, it'll be on the backtrace.

We may need to disable preemption when reading the kpatch_funcs array,
but I'm removing that comment for now because the kpatch_funcs array
will soon be replaced by a much better data structure, and we'll deal
with proper synchronization then.

344050d8d3 kmod/core: remove assembler code
Long ago, the kpatch_trampoline required being written in assembler, but
that's no longer needed now that it integrates nicely with ftrace.

Move it to a C function and rename it kpatch_ftrace_handler.

8085d0402b build and install core module with make
Build and install the kpatch core module with make and make install,
rather than building it every time with kpatch build.

The only downside to this approach is that the user has to make and make
install kpatch every time they get a new kernel.  But this is only
temporary, until the kpatch module is delivered in an RPM.

62de820aab proper makefile support
- setup the makefiles to support "make" and "make install", which builds
  the kpatch-build tools and installs everything in /usr/local.
- update kpatch-build to support new paths
- add "kpatch build" wrapper around kpatch-build

4f27b9ae31 functional reorganization
Organize the files functionally:
- kmod/core: core kmod source
- kmod/patch: patch kmod source
- kpatch: kpatch script
- kpatch-build: kpatch build script and supporting tools
- contrib: distro-related files
