LoongArch: Add ORC stack unwinder support

The kernel CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC option enables the ORC unwinder, which is
similar in concept to a DWARF unwinder. The difference is that the format
of the ORC data is much simpler than DWARF, which in turn allows the ORC
unwinder to be much simpler and faster.

The ORC data consists of unwind tables which are generated by objtool.
After analyzing all the code paths of a .o file, it determines information
about the stack state at each instruction address in the file and outputs
that information to the .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections.

The per-object ORC sections are combined at link time and are sorted and
post-processed at boot time. The unwinder uses the resulting data to
correlate instruction addresses with their stack states at run time.

Most of the logic are similar with x86, in order to get ra info before ra
is saved into stack, add ra_reg and ra_offset into orc_entry. At the same
time, modify some arch-specific code to silence the objtool warnings.

efi/loongarch: Directly position the loaded image file

The use of the 'kernel_offset' variable to position the image file that
has been loaded by UEFI or GRUB is unnecessary, because we can directly
position the loaded image file through using the image_base field of the
efi_loaded_image struct provided by UEFI.

Replace kernel_offset with image_base to position the image file that has
been loaded by UEFI or GRUB.

LoongArch: Fix lockdep static memory detection

Since commit 0a6b58c5cd0d ("lockdep: fix static memory detection even
more") the lockdep code uses is_kernel_core_data(), is_kernel_rodata()
and init_section_contains() to verify if a lock is located inside a
kernel static data section.

This change triggers a failure on LoongArch, for which the vmlinux.lds.S
script misses to put the locks (as part of in the .data.rel symbols)
into the Linux data section.

This patch fixes the lockdep problem by moving *(.data.rel*) symbols
into the kernel data section (from _sdata to _edata).

Additionally, move other wrongly assigned symbols too:
- altinstructions into the _initdata section,
- PLT symbols behind the read-only section, and
- *(.la_abs) into the data section.

LoongArch: Add support for kernel relocation

This config allows to compile kernel as PIE and to relocate it at any

Runtime relocation is possible since relocation metadata are embedded

LoongArch: Add alternative runtime patching mechanism

Introduce the "alternative" mechanism from ARM64 and x86 for LoongArch
to apply runtime patching. The main purpose of this patch is to provide
a framework. In future we can use this mechanism (i.e., the ALTERNATIVE
and ALTERNATIVE_2 macros) to optimize hotspot functions according to cpu
features.

LoongArch: extable: Add `type` and `data` fields

This is a LoongArch port of commit d6e2cc564775 ("arm64: extable: add
`type` and `data` fields").

Subsequent patches will add specialized handlers for fixups, in addition
to the simple PC fixup we have today. In preparation, this patch adds a
new `type` field to struct exception_table_entry, and uses this to
distinguish the fixup and other cases. A `data` field is also added so
that subsequent patches can associate data specific to each exception
site (e.g. register numbers).

Handlers are named ex_handler_*() for consistency, following the example
of x86. At the same time, get_ex_fixup() is split out into a helper so
that it can be used by other ex_handler_*() functions in the subsequent
patches.

LoongArch: Adjust symbol addressing for AS_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS

If explicit relocation hints are used by the toolchain, -Wa,-mla-*
options will be useless for the C code. So only use them for the
!CONFIG_AS_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS case.

Replace "la" with "la.pcrel" in head.S to keep the semantic consistent
with new and old toolchains for the low level startup code.

For per-CPU variables, the "address" of the symbol is actually an offset
from $r21. The value is near the loading address of main kernel image,
but far from the loading address of modules. So we use model("extreme")
attibute to tell the compiler that a PC-relative addressing with 32-bit
offset is not sufficient for local per-CPU variables.

The behavior with different assemblers and compilers are summarized in
the following table:

AS has CC has
explicit relocs explicit relocs * Behavior
==============================================================
No No Use la.* macros.
No change from Linux 6.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------
No Yes Disable explicit relocs.
No change from Linux 6.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes No Not supported.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes Yes Enable explicit relocs.
No -Wa,-mla* options used.
==============================================================
*: We assume CC must have model attribute if it has explicit relocs.
Both features are added in GCC 13 development cycle, so any GCC
release >= 13 should be OK. Using early GCC 13 development snapshots
may produce modules with unsupported relocations.

efi/loongarch: Add efistub booting support

This patch adds efistub booting support, which is the standard UEFI boot
protocol for LoongArch to use.

We use generic efistub, which means we can pass boot information (i.e.,
system table, memory map, kernel command line, initrd) via a light FDT
and drop a lot of non-standard code.

We use a flat mapping to map the efi runtime in the kernel's address
space. In efi, VA = PA; in kernel, VA = PA + PAGE_OFFSET. As a result,
flat mapping is not identity mapping, SetVirtualAddressMap() is still
needed for the efi runtime.
