The module load code has previously had entirely separate
implementations for rel &amp; rela style relocs, which unnecessarily
duplicates a whole lot of code. Unify the implementations of both types
of reloc, sharing the bulk of the code.

If we hit an error whilst processing a reloc then we would return early
from apply_relocate &amp; potentially not free entries in r_mips_hi16_list,
thereby leaking memory. Fix this by ensuring that we always run the code
to free r_mipps_hi16_list when errors occur.

<title>MIPS: Migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h</title>

These files were only including module.h for exception table
related functions.  We've now separated that content out into its
own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the
extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile
these files.

In the case of traps.c we can't dump the module.h include since it is
also used to provide "print_modules".

<title>MIPS: module: fix incorrect IS_ERR_VALUE macro usages</title>

<content type='text'>
IS_ERR_VALUE macro should be used only with unsigned long type.
Specifically it works incorrectly with longer types.

The patch follows conclusion from discussion on LKML [1][2].

[1]: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2120927
[2]: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2150581

[ralf@linux-mips.org: While it may not immediately be obvious, the type
of st_value in the end is an unsigned long equivalent so the invocation
of IS_ERR_VALUE() was valid but I'm applying the patch anyway for
clarity.]

<title>MIPS: Support R_MIPS_PC{16,21,26} rel-style relocs</title>

MIPS32 code uses rel-style relocs, and MIPS32r6 modules may include
R_MIPS_PC16, R_MIPS_PC21 &amp; R_MIPS_PC26 relocations. We thus need to
support these relocations in order to load MIPS32r6 kernel modules. This
patch adds such support, which is similar to the rela-style support in
module-rela.c but making use of the implicit addend from the instruction
encoding.

When an unsupported reloc is encountered in a module, we currently
blindly branch to whatever would be at its entry in the reloc handler
function pointer arrays. This may be NULL, or if the unsupported reloc
has a type greater than that of the supported reloc with the highest
type then we'll dereference some value after the function pointer array
&amp; branch to that. The result is at best a kernel oops.

Fix this by checking that the reloc type has an entry in the function
pointer array (ie. is less than the number of items in the array) and
that the handler is non-NULL, returning an error code to fail the module
load if no handler is found.

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules.  So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().

__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area.  Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole.  So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().

Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
__vmalloc_node_range().  Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
__vmalloc_node_range() function.
