kprobe makes use of two custom sections, each custom section
is folded into one of the standard Linux sections types as follows,
it currently relies on the linker script to fold the custom section
onto the respective Linux section:

type  Linux-section custom section name  begin                    end
table .init.data    _kprobe_blacklist    __start_kprobe_blacklist __stop_kprobe_blacklist
range .text         .kprobes.text        __kprobes_text_start     __kprobes_text_end

This ports the .kprobes.text custom section to the standard
Linux ranges API allowing us remove all the custom kprobe section
declarations from the linker script.

Tested with CONFIG_KPROBES_SANITY_TEST, it passes with:

Kprobe smoke test: started
Kprobe smoke test: passed successfully

Then tested CONFIG_SAMPLE_KPROBES on do_fork, and the kprobe bites
and kicks as expected.

Also ran ./ftracetest with no issues:

sudo ./ftracetest
diff mbox

v5:

o Use ..rng.* instead of .rng.* as suggested by Nicholas Piggin.
  This is the typical way to avoid clash with compiler generated
  section.

o Replace section macros with section names

v4:

o arm64 build fixes with allmodconfig

o build fix suggested for avr32 with allnoconfig, otherwise we end up with:

arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o: In function `save_full_context_ex':
(.ex.text+0x1c4): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_16N_PCREL against
symbol `debug_trampoline' defined in .text.rng.kprobes.any section in
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o: In function `debug_exit_work':
(.text.rng.kprobes.any+0xa8): relocation truncated to fit:
R_AVR32_16N_PCREL against `.ex.text'+3aa
make: *** [Makefile:953: vmlinux] Error 1

o open-code section use on scripts/ code -- folks to prefer the
  simplicity over dealing with having more tool code access kernel
  headers.

o NOPE: include #include <asm-generic/ranges.h> on compiler.h -- solves
  a few 0-day compilation issues

v3:

o after v2 arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux-xip.lds.S got kprobe support,
  this just removes the custom linker script reference to kprobes as
  that is no longer needed with linker tables.

o split kprobe linker table and kprobe section ranges use into
  two separate patches. This should make it easier to review and
  also demos both distinct use types, one a linker table another
  a simple section range.

v2: introduced this patch in this series
