Pull scipts/sorttable updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The sorttable.c was a copy from recordmcount.c which is very hard to
  maintain. That's because it uses macro helpers and places the code in
  a header file sorttable.h to handle both the 64 bit and 32 bit version
  of the Elf structures. It also uses _r()/r()/r2() wrappers around
  accessing the data which will read the 64 bit or 32 bit version of the
  data as well as handle endianess. If the wrong wrapper is used, an
  invalid value will result, and this has been a cause for bugs in the
  past. In fact the new ORC code doesn't even use it. That's fine
  because ORC is only for 64 bit x86 which is the default parsing.

  Instead of having a bunch of macros defined and then include the code
  twice from a header, the Elf structures are each wrapped in a union.
  The union holds the 64 bit and 32 bit version of the needed structure.
  Then a structure of function pointers is used, along with helper
  macros to access the ELF types appropriately for their byte size and
  endianess. How to reference the data fields is moved from the code
  that implements the sorting to the helper functions where all accesses
  to a field will use he same helper function. As long as the helper
  functions access the fields correctly, the code will also access the
  fields. This is an improvement over having to code implementing the
  sorting having to make sure it always uses the right accessor function
  when reading an ELF field.

  This is a clean up only, the functionality of the scripts/sorttable.c
  does not change"
