<title>ARM: 9028/1: disable KASAN in call stack capturing routines</title>

KASAN uses the routines in stacktrace.c to capture the call stack each
time memory gets allocated or freed. Some of these routines are also
used to log CPU and memory context when exceptions are taken, and so
in some cases, memory accesses may be made that are not strictly in
line with the KASAN constraints, and may therefore trigger false KASAN
positives.

So follow the example set by other architectures, and simply disable
KASAN instrumentation for these routines.

Russell said that he is no longer using this machine, and it seems that
nobody else has in a long time, so it's time to say goodbye to it.

As this is the last platform using CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET,
there are some follow-up patches to remove that as well.

Instead of flipping text protection, use the patch_text infrastructure
that uses a fixmap alias where required.

This removes the last user of set_all_modules_text_*().

<title>ARM: 8918/2: only build return_address() if needed</title>

The system currently warns if the config conditions for
building return_address in arch/arm/kernel/return_address.c
are not met, leaving just an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(return_address)
of a function defined to be 'static linline'.
This is a result of aeea3592a13b ("ARM: 8158/1: LLVMLinux: use static inline in ARM ftrace.h").

Since we're not going to build anything other than an exported
symbol for something that is already being defined to be an
inline-able return of NULL, just avoid building the code to
remove the following warning:
