9d3918f7c0 powerpc/ptrace: Enable support for NT_PPC_CVSX
This patch enables support for TM checkpointed VSX register
set ELF core note NT_PPC_CVSX based ptrace requests through
PTRACE_GETREGSET, PTRACE_SETREGSET calls. This is achieved
through adding a register set REGSET_CVSX in powerpc
corresponding to the ELF core note section added. It
implements the get, set and active functions for this new
register set added.

a61674bdfc powerpc/module: Handle R_PPC64_ENTRY relocations
GCC 6 will include changes to generated code with -mcmodel=large,
which is used to build kernel modules on powerpc64le.  This was
necessary because the large model is supposed to allow arbitrary
sizes and locations of the code and data sections, but the ELFv2
global entry point prolog still made the unconditional assumption
that the TOC associated with any particular function can be found
within 2 GB of the function entry point:

func:
	addis r2,r12,(.TOC.-func)@ha
	addi  r2,r2,(.TOC.-func)@l
	.localentry func, .-func

To remove this assumption, GCC will now generate instead this global
entry point prolog sequence when using -mcmodel=large:

	.quad .TOC.-func
func:
	.reloc ., R_PPC64_ENTRY
	ld    r2, -8(r12)
	add   r2, r2, r12
	.localentry func, .-func

The new .reloc triggers an optimization in the linker that will
replace this new prolog with the original code (see above) if the
linker determines that the distance between .TOC. and func is in
range after all.

Since this new relocation is now present in module object files,
the kernel module loader is required to handle them too.  This
patch adds support for the new relocation and implements the
same optimization done by the GNU linker.

0906584a0a powerpc: Handle new ELFv2 module relocations
The new ELF ABI tends to use R_PPC64_REL16_LO and R_PPC64_REL16_HA
relocations (PC-relative), so implement them.
