Pull livepatching updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - RO/NX attribute fixes for patch module relocations from Josh
   Poimboeuf.  As part of this effort, module.c has been cleaned up as
   well and livepatching is piggy-backing on this cleanup.  Rusty is OK
   with this whole lot going through livepatching tree.

 - symbol disambiguation support from Chris J Arges.  That series is
   also

        Reviewed-by: Miroslav Benes &lt;mbenes@suse.cz&gt;

   but this came in only after I've alredy pushed out.  Didn't want to
   rebase because of that, hence I am mentioning it here.

 - symbol lookup fix from Miroslav Benes

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching:
  livepatch: Cleanup module page permission changes
  module: keep percpu symbols in module's symtab
  module: clean up RO/NX handling.
  module: use a structure to encapsulate layout.
  gcov: use within_module() helper.
  module: Use the same logic for setting and unsetting RO/NX

There is no need to worry about module and __init text disappearing
case, because that ftrace has a module notifier that is called when
a module is being unloaded and before the text goes away and this
code grabs the ftrace_lock mutex and removes the module functions
from the ftrace list, such that it will no longer do any
modifications to that module's text, the update to make functions
be traced or not is done under the ftrace_lock mutex as well.
And by now, __init section codes should not been modified
by ftrace, because it is black listed in recordmcount.c and
ignored by ftrace.

Makes it easier to handle init vs core cleanly, though the change is
fairly invasive across random architectures.

It simplifies the rbtree code immediately, however, while keeping the
core data together in the same cachline (now iff the rbtree code is
enabled).

Most interrupt flow handlers do not use the irq argument. Those few
which use it can retrieve the irq number from the irq descriptor.

Remove the argument.

Search and replace was done with coccinelle and some extra helper
scripts around it. Thanks to Julia for her help!

Back in early 2008, 4KiB stack support was added to reduce memory
consumption on workloads with lots of threads, using a separate IRQ
stack per CPU to alleviate stack pressure. However the SMP code added a
year and a half later didn't set up the IRQ stack when bringing up
secondary CPUs, resulting in a crash when SMP is configured with 4KiB
stacks, as soon as the first interrupt arrived on a secondary CPU.

Fix with calls to irq_ctx_exit()/irq_ctx_exit() when bringing up/down a
CPU.
