scripts: Add sortextable to sort the kernel's exception table. Using this build-time sort saves time booting as we don't have to burn cycles sorting the exception table.

arm64: extable: sort the exception table at build time As is done for other architectures, sort the exception table at build-time rather than during boot. Since sortextable appears to be a standalone C program relying on the host elf.h to provide EM_AARCH64, I've had to add a conditional check in order to allow cross-compilation on machines that aren't running a bleeding-edge libc-dev.

microblaze: extable: sort the exception table at build time Sort the exception table at build-time rather than during boot. Microblaze is the same case as AARCH64 that's why EM_MICROBLAZE conditional check was added to allow cross-compilation on machines which are not running the latest libc-dev.

ARM: 7568/1: Sort exception table at compile time Add the ARM machine identifier to sortextable and select the config option so that we can sort the exception table at compile time. sortextable relies on a section named __ex_table existing in the vmlinux, but ARM's linker script places the exception table in the data section. Give the exception table its own section so that sortextable can find it. This allows us to skip the sorting step during boot.

arm64: extable: sort the exception table at build time As is done for other architectures, sort the exception table at build-time rather than during boot. Since sortextable appears to be a standalone C program relying on the host elf.h to provide EM_AARCH64, I've had to add a conditional check in order to allow cross-compilation on machines that aren't running a bleeding-edge libc-dev.

microblaze: extable: sort the exception table at build time Sort the exception table at build-time rather than during boot. Microblaze is the same case as AARCH64 that's why EM_MICROBLAZE conditional check was added to allow cross-compilation on machines which are not running the latest libc-dev.
