livepatch/klp-build: Add stub init code for livepatch modules Add a module initialization stub which can be linked with binary diff objects to produce a livepatch module.

livepatch: Fix having __klp_objects relics in non-livepatch modules The linker script scripts/module.lds.S specifies that all input __klp_objects sections should be consolidated into an output section of the same name, and start/stop symbols should be created to enable scripts/livepatch/init.c to locate this data. This start/stop pattern is not ideal for modules because the symbols are created even if no __klp_objects input sections are present. Consequently, a dummy __klp_objects section also appears in the resulting module. This unnecessarily pollutes non-livepatch modules. Instead, since modules are relocatable files, the usual method for locating consolidated data in a module is to read its section table. This approach avoids the aforementioned problem. The klp_modinfo already stores a copy of the entire section table with the final addresses. Introduce a helper function that scripts/livepatch/init.c can call to obtain the location of the __klp_objects section from this data.

livepatch: Free klp_{object,func}_ext data after initialization The klp_object_ext and klp_func_ext data, which are stored in the __klp_objects and __klp_funcs sections, respectively, are not needed after they are used to create the actual klp_object and klp_func instances. This operation is implemented by the init function in scripts/livepatch/init.c. Prefix the two sections with ".init" so they are freed after the module is initializated.

Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
