[PATCH 0/8] LoongArch: Add livepatch build (KLP) support

From: George Guo <[email protected]>

This series adds LoongArch support for the klp-build livepatch tooling,
enabling automated livepatch module generation using objtool on
LoongArch.

It is based on Josh Poimboeuf's klp-build series [1] (see base-commit
below) and extends it with the LoongArch-specific objtool and build
pieces, plus a few LoongArch toolchain/relocation fixes required to make
livepatch modules load and run correctly.

Overview:

 - Patch 1 wires up LoongArch klp-build (objtool-based livepatch module
   generation).
 - Patches 2-3 add the objtool bits LoongArch needs: arch_adjusted_addend()
   and the special section entry sizes (.altinstructions, __ex_table,
   __bug_table, __jump_table) so objtool can process livepatch modules.
 - Patches 4-5 fix kernel panics seen when loading livepatch modules,
   caused by LoongArch code-generation/relocation assumptions:
     * disable -mdirect-extern-access for klp builds (the module loader
       relies on GOT entries for external symbol references),
     * force -fPIC so same-compilation-unit symbol references relocate
       correctly.
 - Patch 6 fix EFI linking when building with -fdata-sections.
 - Patch 7 implements arch_jump_opcode_bytes() so klp checksums for
   jump/call instructions are position-independent, mirroring x86/arm64.
 - Patch 8 adds KLP_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() support for LoongArch.

Testing:
 - objtool builds cleanly for LoongArch.
 - Livepatch modules were generated and loaded on a LoongArch machine;
   the panics addressed by patches 4-5 no longer reproduce.
