4.18 adds -mcount-record to KBUILD_FLAGS when supported by the compiler.
This results in most of kpatch_create_mcount_sections()'s work being
already done, so we can at least skip the last part of it that updates
the first instruction in patched functions.

Since the codeset supports just the 64 bit variant, lets move
to __powerpc64__ and use it. I checked the ABI doc as well
and the kernel/gcc.

- convert section/symbol indexes and rela->offset to unsigned int as I
couldn't find any way for them to become negative.
- cast a number of rela->addend comparisons to int (assuming an 64bit
system this should be enough)
- a number of simple for-loop counter conversions to the type it
compares against

These are fields which we don't need to populate (like a
funcs[index].new_addr value that will be filled by relocation). The
easiest way to appease valgrind and not clutter the code is to just
zero-out this entire buffer on allocation.

kpatch-elf.c is used by binaries other than create-diff-object, but
create-diff-object is the only one that cares about "bundling". Move
the bundling to create-diff-object.
Fixes#700.

With gcc-6 the function prologue is changeg by
moving the toc base resolution func - 0x8 bytes:
.globl my_func
.type my_func, @function
.quad .TOC.-my_func
my_func:
.reloc ., R_PPC64_ENTRY ; optional
ld r2,-8(r12)
add r2,r2,r12
.localentry my_func, .-my_func
Add support for function prologue, along with gcc-5.

This patch adds support for livepatch hook based module
creation for PPC64le. It introduces PPC64le architecture
bits:
- Add relocation type of R_PPC64_ADDR64 while parsing powerpc ELF.
- Introduce .toc sections mainpulation.
- Skip kpatch specific details for livepatch hook.
Also remove the definition of rela_insn() for powerpc. The only
call site is been guarded by #ifdef x86.

symbol->has_fentry_call is x86 specfic. Rename it to more
generic name, representing the general idea of calling
profiling function at function entry.
This patch converts all instance of symbol->has_fentry_call
to symbol->has_func_profiling and also renames functions:
kpatch_check_fentry_calls() -> kpatch_check_func_profiling_calls()
kpatch_find_fentry_calls() -> kpatch_find_func_profiling_calls()

SUSE-based kernels have a DWARF unwinder, so they build with the gcc
'-fasynchronous-unwind-tables' flag, which adds .eh_frame and
.eh_frame_hdr sections. Treat those sections like the other debug
sections.
Fixes: #703
If there exist multiple sections with the same name (which can happen when
using the --unique option with ld, which will be used to keep multiple
(per-object) .parainstructions and .altinstructions sections separate),
find_section_by_name() will only return the first section name match, which
leads to incorrect base section assignments for rela sections. Fix this by
using the sh_info field of the rela section to find its base section
instead, which contains the index of the section to which the relocation
applies.
Make sure sym->sec is not NULL before checking for its rela section
(sym->sec->rela). This fixes a case where an object may have STT_FUNC
symbols whose the sections (sym->sec) were not selected for inclusion (or
are located in another object) and hence these symbols do not have sym->sec
set. This corner case only recently popped up after reusing kpatch_elf_open()
on objects that have been outputted by create-diff-object (and these
objects only contain the necessary sections needed for the patch module).
This will also automatically exclude livepatch symbols from the check,
because they do not have sections associated with them (i.e., sym->sec is
NULL). We do not have to check for fentry calls for klp (SHN_LIVEPATCH)
symbols, because [1] they do not have sections associated with them, [2]
they are not the target functions to be patched, and [3] they are
technically just placeholder symbols for symbol resolution in livepatch.
Move functions kpatch_reindex_elements() and kpatch_rebuild_rela_section_data()
from create-diff-object.c to kpatch-elf.c. These functions will be used
to rebuild kpatch elf data in create-klp-module and create-kpatch-module,
i.e. during the second "phase" of kpatch-build.
Since is_bundleable() is only called once by kpatch_create_symbol_list(),
and no other kpatch-build tool will need to call this function, we can
simply make it static and local to kpatch-elf.c
Introduce a common kpatch elf api by moving all functions and struct
declarations related to manipulating kpatch_elf objects from
create-diff-object to kpatch-elf.{h,c}. Move logging macros to a separate
file log.h, and have kpatch-elf.h include it. These changes will generalize
the kpatch-elf and logging api and make it available to other kpatch-build
tools.
