Vincent Whitchurch 93d77e7f14 ARM: module: Fix function kallsyms on Thumb-2
Thumb-2 functions have the lowest bit set in the symbol value in the
symtab.  When kallsyms are generated for the vmlinux, the kallsyms are
generated from the output of nm, and nm clears the lowest bit.

 $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-readelf -a vmlinux | grep show_interrupts
  95947: 8015dc89   686 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    2 show_interrupts
 $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-nm vmlinux | grep show_interrupts
 8015dc88 T show_interrupts
 $ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep show_interrupts
 8015dc88 T show_interrupts

However, for modules, the kallsyms uses the values in the symbol table
without modification, so for functions in modules, the lowest bit is set
in kallsyms.

 $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-readelf -a drivers/net/tun.ko | grep tun_get_socket
    333: 00002d4d    36 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 tun_get_socket
 $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-nm drivers/net/tun.ko | grep tun_get_socket
 00002d4c T tun_get_socket
 $ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep tun_get_socket
 7f802d4d t tun_get_socket      [tun]

Because of this, the symbol+offset of the crashing instruction shown in
oopses is incorrect when the crash is in a module.  For example, given a
tun_get_socket which starts like this,

 00002d4c <tun_get_socket>:
     2d4c:       6943            ldr     r3, [r0, #20]
     2d4e:       4a07            ldr     r2, [pc, #28]
     2d50:       4293            cmp     r3, r2

a crash when tun_get_socket is called with NULL results in:

 PC is at tun_xdp+0xa3/0xa4 [tun]
 pc : [<7f802d4c>]

As can be seen, the "PC is at" line reports the wrong symbol name, and
the symbol+offset will point to the wrong source line if it is passed to
gdb.

To solve this, add a way for archs to fixup the reading of these module
kallsyms values, and use that to clear the lowest bit for function
symbols on Thumb-2.

After the fix:

 # cat /proc/kallsyms | grep tun_get_socket
 7f802d4c t tun_get_socket       [tun]

 PC is at tun_get_socket+0x0/0x24 [tun]
 pc : [<7f802d4c>]
