The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.
This has a couple of downsides:
- Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,
- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
core module code)
- Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
CRCs.
Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.
So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.
Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) Fix handling of interrupt status in stmmac driver. Just because we
have masked the event from generating interrupts, doesn't mean the
bit won't still be set in the interrupt status register. From Alexey
Brodkin.
2) Fix DMA API debugging splats in gianfar driver, from Arseny Solokha.
3) Fix off-by-one error in __ip6_append_data(), from Vlad Yasevich.
4) cls_flow does not match on icmpv6 codes properly, from Simon Horman.
5) Initial MAC address can be set incorrectly in some scenerios, from
Ivan Vecera.
6) Packet header pointer arithmetic fix in ip6_tnl_parse_tlv_end_lim(),
from Dan Carpenter.

8) Fix crash in iwlwifi when unregistering thermal zone, from Jens
Axboe.

The package management code in uncore relies on package mapping being
available before a CPU is started. This changed with:
9d85eb9119f4 ("x86/smpboot: Make logical package management more robust")
because the ACPI/BIOS information turned out to be unreliable, but that
left uncore in broken state. This was not noticed because on a regular boot
all CPUs are online before uncore is initialized.
Move the allocation to the CPU online callback and simplify the hotplug
handling. At this point the package mapping is established and correct.
