Replace all the occurrences of FIELD_SIZEOF() with sizeof_field() except
at places where these are defined. Later patches will remove the unused
definition of FIELD_SIZEOF().

This patch is generated using following script:

EXCLUDE_FILES="include/linux/stddef.h|include/linux/kernel.h"

git grep -l -e "\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b" | while read file;
do

	if [[ "$file" =~ $EXCLUDE_FILES ]]; then
		continue
	fi
	sed -i  -e 's/\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b/sizeof_field/g' $file;
done

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Cross-arch changes to move the linker sections for NOTES and
     EXCEPTION_TABLE into the RO_DATA area, where they belong on most
     architectures. (Kees Cook)

   - Switch the x86 linker fill byte from x90 (NOP) to 0xcc (INT3), to
     trap jumps into the middle of those padding areas instead of
     sliding execution. (Kees Cook)

   - A thorough cleanup of symbol definitions within x86 assembler code.
     The rather randomly named macros got streamlined around a
     (hopefully) straightforward naming scheme:

        SYM_START(name, linkage, align...)
        SYM_END(name, sym_type)

        SYM_FUNC_START(name)
        SYM_FUNC_END(name)

        SYM_CODE_END(name)

        SYM_DATA_START(name)
        SYM_DATA_END(name)

     etc - with about three times of these basic primitives with some
     label, local symbol or attribute variant, expressed via postfixes.

     No change in functionality intended. (Jiri Slaby)

<content type='text'>
Implement jump label patching for ARC. Jump labels provide
an interface to generate dynamic branches using
self-modifying code.

This allows us to implement conditional branches where
changing branch direction is expensive but branch selection
is basically 'free'

This implementation uses 32-bit NOP and BRANCH instructions
which forced to be aligned by 4 to guarantee that they don't
cross L1 cache line boundary and can be update atomically.

The .notes section should be non-executable read-only data. As such,
move it to the RO_DATA macro instead of being per-architecture defined.

The .notes section should be non-executable read-only data. As such,
move it to the RO_DATA macro instead of being per-architecture defined.

<title>ARC: perf: Accommodate big-endian CPU</title>

8-letter strings representing ARC perf events are stores in two
32-bit registers as ASCII characters like that: "IJMP", "IALL", "IJMPTAK" etc.

And the same order of bytes in the word is used regardless CPU endianness.

Which means in case of big-endian CPU core we need to swap bytes to get
the same order as if it was on little-endian CPU.

Otherwise we're seeing the following error message on boot:
-------------------------&gt;8----------------------
ARC perf        : 8 counters (32 bits), 40 conditions, [overflow IRQ support]
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/arc_pct/events/pmji'

---[ end trace a75fb9a9837bd1ec ]---
-------------------------&gt;8----------------------

What happens here we're trying to register more than one raw perf event
with the same name "PMJI". Why? Because ARC perf events are 4 to 8 letters
and encoded into two 32-bit words. In this particular case we deal with 2
events:
 * "IJMP____" which counts all jump &amp; branch instructions
 * "IJMPC___" which counts only conditional jumps &amp; branches

Those strings are split in two 32-bit words this way "IJMP" + "____" &amp;
"IJMP" + "C___" correspondingly. Now if we read them swapped due to CPU core
being big-endian then we read "PMJI" + "____" &amp; "PMJI" + "___C".

And since we interpret read array of ASCII letters as a null-terminated string
on big-endian CPU we end up with 2 events of the same name "PMJI".

Mark switch cases where we are expecting to fall through.

This patch fixes the following warnings (Building: haps_hs_defconfig arc):
