asm-generic/tlb: provide MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE

As described in the comment, the correct order for freeing pages is:

1) unhook page
2) TLB invalidate page
3) free page

This order equally applies to page directories.

Currently there are two correct options:

- use tlb_remove_page(), when all page directores are full pages and
there are no futher contraints placed by things like software
walkers (HAVE_FAST_GUP).

- use MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE and tlb_remove_table() when the
architecture does not do IPI based TLB invalidate and has
HAVE_FAST_GUP (or software TLB fill).

This however leaves architectures that don't have page based directories
but don't need RCU in a bind. For those, provide MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE,
which provides the independent batching for directories without the
additional RCU freeing.

mm/mmu_gather: invalidate TLB correctly on batch allocation failure and flush

Architectures for which we have hardware walkers of Linux page table
should flush TLB on mmu gather batch allocation failures and batch flush.
Some architectures like POWER supports multiple translation modes (hash
and radix) and in the case of POWER only radix translation mode needs the
above TLBI. This is because for hash translation mode kernel wants to
avoid this extra flush since there are no hardware walkers of linux page
table. With radix translation, the hardware also walks linux page table
and with that, kernel needs to make sure to TLB invalidate page walk cache
before page table pages are freed.

More details in commit d86564a2f085 ("mm/tlb, x86/mm: Support invalidating
TLB caches for RCU_TABLE_FREE")

The changes to sparc are to make sure we keep the old behavior since we
are now removing HAVE_RCU_TABLE_NO_INVALIDATE. The default value for
tlb_needs_table_invalidate is to always force an invalidate and sparc can
avoid the table invalidate. Hence we define tlb_needs_table_invalidate to
false for sparc architecture.

tracing: Use xarray for syscall trace events

Currently, a lot of memory is wasted for architectures like MIPS when
init_ftrace_syscalls() allocates the array for syscalls using kcalloc.
This is because syscalls numbers start from 4000, 5000 or 6000 and
array elements up to that point are unused.
Fix this by using a data structure more suited to storing sparsely
populated arrays. The XARRAY data structure, implemented using radix
trees, is much more memory efficient for storing the syscalls in
question.

y2038: allow disabling time32 system calls

At the moment, the compilation of the old time32 system calls depends
purely on the architecture. As systems with new libc based on 64-bit
time_t are getting deployed, even architectures that previously supported
these (notably x86-32 and arm32 but also many others) no longer depend on
them, and removing them from a kernel image results in a smaller kernel
binary, the same way we can leave out many other optional system calls.

More importantly, on an embedded system that needs to keep working
beyond year 2038, any user space program calling these system calls
is likely a bug, so removing them from the kernel image does provide
an extra debugging help for finding broken applications.

I've gone back and forth on hiding this option unless CONFIG_EXPERT
is set. This version leaves it visible based on the logic that
eventually it will be turned off indefinitely.

arm64: Add support for relocating the kernel with RELR relocations

RELR is a relocation packing format for relative relocations.
The format is described in a generic-abi proposal:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/generic-abi/bX460iggiKg/discussion

The LLD linker can be instructed to pack relocations in the RELR
format by passing the flag --pack-dyn-relocs=relr.

This patch adds a new config option, CONFIG_RELR. Enabling this option
instructs the linker to pack vmlinux's relative relocations in the RELR
format, and causes the kernel to apply the relocations at startup along
with the RELA relocations. RELA relocations still need to be applied
because the linker will emit RELA relative relocations if they are
unrepresentable in the RELR format (i.e. address not a multiple of 2).

Enabling CONFIG_RELR reduces the size of a defconfig kernel image
with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE by 3.5MB/16% uncompressed, or 550KB/5%
compressed (lz4).

ring-buffer: Remove HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS

Commit c19fa94a8fed ("Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS") added the config for
architectures that required 64bit aligned access for all 64bit words. As
the ftrace ring buffer stores data on 4 byte alignment, this config option
was used to force it to store data on 8 byte alignment to make sure the data
being stored and written directly into the ring buffer was 8 byte aligned as
it would cause issues trying to write an 8 byte word on a 4 not 8 byte
aligned memory location.

But with the removal of the metag architecture, which was the only
architecture to use this, there is no architecture supported by Linux that
requires 8 byte aligne access for all 8 byte words (4 byte alignment is good
enough). Removing this config can simplify the code a bit.
