thread.trap_no is saved in arch_uprobe_pre_xol(), it should be restored
in arch_uprobe_{post,abort}_xol() accordingly, otherwise the save operation
is meaningless, this change is similar with x86 and powerpc.

Pull SMP cross-CPU function-call updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Remove diagnostics and adjust config for CSD lock diagnostics

 - Add a generic IPI-sending tracepoint, as currently there's no easy
   way to instrument IPI origins: it's arch dependent and for some major
   architectures it's not even consistently available.

To be able to trace invocations of smp_send_reschedule(), rename the
arch-specific definitions of it to arch_smp_send_reschedule() and wrap it
into an smp_send_reschedule() that contains a tracepoint.

Changes to include the declaration of the tracepoint were driven by the
following coccinelle script:

  @func_use@

  smp_send_reschedule(...);

  @include@

  #include &lt;trace/events/ipi.h&gt;

The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists in the VDSO. For
this the VDSO build validates that the resulting .so file does not have any
relocations which are specified via $(ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS) per architecture,
which is fragile as e.g. ARM64 lacks an entry for R_AARCH64_RELATIVE. Aside
of that ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a misnomer as it checks for relative
relocations too.

However, some GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE relocation entries. If
a port fails to determine the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros
become R_*_NONE relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540). R_*_NONE are
generally a no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them.

Remove the ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS defines and just validate that the resulting
.so file does not contain any R_* relocation entries except R_*_NONE.

<title>sched/idle: Mark arch_cpu_idle_dead() __noreturn</title>

Before commit 076cbf5d2163 ("x86/xen: don't let xen_pv_play_dead()
return"), in Xen, when a previously offlined CPU was brought back
online, it unexpectedly resumed execution where it left off in the
middle of the idle loop.

There were some hacks to make that work, but the behavior was surprising
as do_idle() doesn't expect an offlined CPU to return from the dead (in
arch_cpu_idle_dead()).

Now that Xen has been fixed, and the arch-specific implementations of
arch_cpu_idle_dead() also don't return, give it a __noreturn attribute.

This will cause the compiler to complain if an arch-specific
implementation might return.  It also improves code generation for both
caller and callee.

Also fixes the following warning:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_idle+0x25f: unreachable instruction
