Masahiro Yamada 71c6877759 modpost: fix section mismatch message for R_ARM_{PC24,CALL,JUMP24}
[ Upstream commit 56a24b8ce6a7f9c4a21b2276a8644f6f3d8fc14d ]

addend_arm_rel() processes R_ARM_PC24, R_ARM_CALL, R_ARM_JUMP24 in a
wrong way.

Here, test code.

[test code for R_ARM_JUMP24]

  .section .init.text,"ax"
  bar:
          bx      lr

  .section .text,"ax"
  .globl foo
  foo:
          b       bar

[test code for R_ARM_CALL]

  .section .init.text,"ax"
  bar:
          bx      lr

  .section .text,"ax"
  .globl foo
  foo:
          push    {lr}
          bl      bar
          pop     {pc}

If you compile it with ARM multi_v7_defconfig, modpost will show the
symbol name, (unknown).

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: foo (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.text)

(You need to use GNU linker instead of LLD to reproduce it.)

Fix the code to make modpost show the correct symbol name.

I imported (with adjustment) sign_extend32() from include/linux/bitops.h.

The '+8' is the compensation for pc-relative instruction. It is
documented in "ELF for the Arm Architecture" [1].

  "If the relocation is pc-relative then compensation for the PC bias
  (the PC value is 8 bytes ahead of the executing instruction in Arm
  state and 4 bytes in Thumb state) must be encoded in the relocation
  by the object producer."
