Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:
aligment||alignment
I did not touch the "N_BYTE_ALIGMENT" macro in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/wifi.h to avoid unpredictable
impact.
I fixed "_aligment_handler" in arch/openrisc/kernel/entry.S because
it is surrounded by #if 0 ... #endif. It is surely safe and I
confirmed "_alignment_handler" is correct.
I also fixed the "controler" I found in the same hunk in
arch/openrisc/kernel/head.S.

So finally after almost 8 years of dealing with .debug_frame, we are
finally switching to .eh_frame. The reason being stripped kernel
binaries had non-functional unwinder as .debug_frame was gone.
Also, in general .eh_frame seems more common way of doing unwinding.
This also folds a revert of f52e126cc747 ("ARC: unwind: ensure that
.debug_frame is generated (vs. .eh_frame)") to ensure that we start
getting .eh_frame

- RO/NX attribute fixes for patch module relocations from Josh
Poimboeuf. As part of this effort, module.c has been cleaned up as
well and livepatching is piggy-backing on this cleanup. Rusty is OK
with this whole lot going through livepatching tree.

Instead of seeing empty stack traces, let kernel fail early so dwarf
issues can be fixed sooner

The rudimentary CIE.version == 3 handling is already present in code
(for return address register specification)

Blingly ignoring CIE.version != 1 was a bad idea.
It still leaves "desirability" when running perf with callgraphing where libgcc
symbols might show in hotspot.
More importantly, basic CIE.version == 3 support already exists in code:
|
| retAddrReg = state.version <= 1 ? *ptr++ : get_uleb128(&ptr, end);
|
Next commit with simply add continue-not-bail for CIE.version != 1
This reverts commit 323f41f9e7d0cb5b1d1586aded6682855f1e646d.

ARC dwarf unwinder only supports CIE version == 1
The boot time dwarf sanitizer (part of binary lookup table constructor)
would simply bail if it saw CIE version == 3, rendering unwinder with a
NULL lookup table.
It seems libgcc linked with kernel does have such entries.
With fallback linear search removed, and a NULL binary lookup table,
unwinder fails to generate any stack trace.
So allow graceful ignoring of unsupported CIE entries.
This problem was initially seen in Alexey's setup (and not mine) as he
was using buildroot built toolchain (libgcc) which doesn't get built with
CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET="-gdwarf-2 which is my default

The fix which removed linear searching of dwarf (because binary lookup
data always exists) missed out on the fact that modules don't get the
binary lookup tables info. This caused unwinding out of modules to stop
working.
So add binary lookup header setup (equivalent of eh_frame_hdr setup) to
modules as well.
While at it, confine the header setup to within unwinder code,
reducing one API exposed out of unwinder code.

Makes it easier to handle init vs core cleanly, though the change is
fairly invasive across random architectures.
It simplifies the rbtree code immediately, however, while keeping the
core data together in the same cachline (now iff the rbtree code is
enabled).

Fixes STAR 9000953410: "perf callgraph profiling causing RCU stalls"
| perf record -g -c 15000 -e cycles /sbin/hackbench
|
| INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
| 1: (1 GPs behind) idle=609/140000000000002/0 softirq=2914/2915 fqs=603
| Task dump for CPU 1:
in-kernel dwarf unwinder has a fast binary lookup and a fallback linear
search (which iterates thru each of ~11K entries) thus takes 2 orders of
magnitude longer (~3 million cycles vs. 2000). Routines written in hand
assembler lack dwarf info (as we don't support assembler CFI pseudo-ops
yet) fail the unwinder binary lookup, hit linear search, failing
nevertheless in the end.
However the linear search is pointless as binary lookup tables are created
from it in first place. It is impossible to have binary lookup fail while
succeed the linear search. It is pure waste of cycles thus removed by
this patch.
This manifested as RCU stalls / NMI watchdog splat when running
hackbench under perf with callgraph profiling. The triggering condition
was perf counter overflowing in routine lacking dwarf info (like memset)
leading to patheic 3 million cycle unwinder slow path and by the time it
returned new interrupts were already pending (Timer, IPI) and taken
rightaway. The original memset didn't make forward progress, system kept
accruing more interrupts and more unwinder delayes in a vicious feedback
loop, ultimately triggering the NMI diagnostic.
