Debian toolcahin defaults to PIE, and I guess that will also be the case
of most distributions. This causes the following build failure:

  AS      arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/getcpu.o
  AS      arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/flush_icache.o
  VDSOLD  arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg
  OBJCOPY arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so
  AS      arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.o
  VDSOLD  arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-dummy.o
  LD      arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-syms.o
riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: attempted static link of dynamic object `arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-dummy.o'
make[2]: *** [arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/Makefile:43: arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-syms.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:575: arch/riscv/kernel/vdso] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:1018: arch/riscv/kernel] Error 2

While the root Makefile correctly passes "-fno-PIE" to build individual
object files, the RISC-V kernel also builds vdso-dummy.o as an
executable, which is therefore linked as PIE. Fix that by updating this
specific link rule to also include "-no-pie".

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This contains the new features we'd like to incorporate into the
  RISC-V port for 4.17. We might have a bit more stuff land later in the
  merge window, but I wanted to get this out earlier just so everyone
  can see where we currently stand.

  A short summary of the changes is:

   - We've added support for dynamic ftrace on RISC-V targets.

   - There have been a handful of cleanups to our atomic and locking
     routines. They now more closely match the released RISC-V memory
     model draft.

   - Our module loading support has been cleaned up and is now enabled
     by default, despite some limitations still existing.

   - A patch to define COMMANDLINE_FORCE instead of COMMANDLINE_OVERRIDE
     so the generic device tree code picks up handling all our command
     line stuff.

  There's more information in the merge commits for each patch set"

<title>RISC-V: Fixes to module loading</title>

This cleans up the module support that was commited earlier to work with
what's actually emitted from our GCC port as it lands upstream.  Most of
the work here is adding new relocations to the kernel.

There's some limitations on module loading imposed by the kernel:

* The kernel doesn't support linker relaxation, which is necessary to
  support R_RISCV_ALIGN.  In order to get reliable module building
  you're going to need to a GCC that supports the new '-mno-relax',
  which IIRC isn't going to be out until 8.1.0.  It's somewhat unlikely
  that R_RISCV_ALIGN will appear in a module even without '-mno-relax'
  support, so issues shouldn't be common.

* There is no large code model for RISC-V, which means modules must be
  loaded within a 32-bit signed offset of the kernel.  We don't
  currently have any mechanism for ensuring this memory remains free or
  moving pages around, so issues here might be common.

I fixed a singcle merge conflict in arch/riscv/kernel/Makefile.

Just fail on align type. Kernel modules loader didn't do relax
like linker, it is difficult to remove or migrate the code,
but the remnant nop instructions harm the performaace of module.
We expect the building module with the no-relax option.
