RHEL-7.8 backported upstream kernel commit 958ef1e39d24 ("livepatch:
Simplify API by removing registration step"), so add it to the kernels
using the simple registration API.

In v5.1, upstream kernel commit 958ef1e39d24 ("livepatch: Simplify API
by removing registration step") removed klp_(un)register_patch(). We
only need to call klp_enable_patch() now.

reason: after the function klp_unregister_patch, the lpatch must
be freed, otherwise, it would cause memory leak.

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.

Deal with a few RHEL kernel-alt quirks for ppc64le:
- The RPM and spec names are "kernel-alt".
- 7.6 ALT is based on 4.14 but it doesn't have the 'immediate' flag.

Preprocessor doesn't stop unwinding macroses in #if clauses if one of
the conditions is false resulting in the following error when trying to
build on non-rhel system:
patch/livepatch-patch-hook.c:53:48: error: missing binary operator before token "("
RHEL_RELEASE_CODE <= RHEL_RELEASE_VERSION(7, 5))
Fix by using 2 levels of #ifs instead of &&. The same way HAVE_CALLBACKS
does.

Upstream 4.15 kernels provide support for pre and post (un)patch
callbacks, inspired by the kpatch load hooks. Add support for them
in the livepatch-patch-hook.
At the same time, convert the kpatch hooks to use the same API.

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.

Upstream commit 2992ef29ae01 ("livepatch/module: make TAINT_LIVEPATCH
module-specific") v4.9+ modified the kernel to add the TAINT_LIVEPATCH
flag on module load. To support this feature, add the "livepatch"
module info in the {k,live}patch modules and drop the add_taint() in the
core module.
Some features were backported into the 4.4 kernel which change the fields
of the livepatch structures. Ensure we can work with either v4.5 or greater,
or Ubuntu 4.4.0-7 or greater.
Support patching objects that have duplicated function names. This feature was
introduced upstream in Linux v4.5.
This patch appends the symbol position to the symbol structure when
lookup_local_symbol is called. This pos variable is then used when creating the
funcs and dynrelas sections. Finally, incorporate sympos into the livepatch
patch hook only if the kernel version is greater than v4.5. In other cases the
older format is used.

Fixes issue #494. A null pointer dereference can result with patch
modules for multiple objects since the "vmlinux" patch object's "name"
field is null. strcmp therefore crashes trying to compare object->name
if the current object is vmlinux and the supplied "name" argument is
not. Check that object->name is not null before invoking strcmp.
Adds a new patch module scaffold for use when building against a kernel
with CONFIG_LIVE_PATCHING=y.
