powerpc: replace #include <asm/export.h> with #include <linux/export.h>

Commit ddb5cdbafaaa ("kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost")
deprecated <asm/export.h>, which is now a wrapper of <linux/export.h>.

Replace #include <asm/export.h> with #include <linux/export.h>.

After all the <asm/export.h> lines are converted, <asm/export.h> and
<asm-generic/export.h> will be removed.

selftests/powerpc/copyloops: Add memmove_64 test

While debugging an issue, we wanted to check whether the arch specific
kernel memmove implementation is correct.
This selftest could help test that.

powerpc: prepare string/mem functions for KASAN

CONFIG_KASAN implements wrappers for memcpy() memmove() and memset()
Those wrappers are doing the verification then call respectively
__memcpy() __memmove() and __memset(). The arches are therefore
expected to rename their optimised functions that way.

For files on which KASAN is inhibited, #defines are used to allow
them to directly call optimised versions of the functions without
going through the KASAN wrappers.

See commit 393f203f5fd5 ("x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for
memset/memmove/memcpy functions") for details.

Other string / mem functions do not (yet) have kasan wrappers,
we therefore have to fallback to the generic versions when
KASAN is active, otherwise KASAN checks will be skipped.

Align the hot loops in our assembly implementation of memset()

backwards_memcpy() is called from tcp_v4_rcv(), so we might

powerpc: use _GLOBAL_TOC for memmove

memmove may be called from module code copy_pages(btrfs), and it may
call memcpy, which may call back to C code, so it needs to use
_GLOBAL_TOC to set up r2 correctly.

This fixes following error when I tried to boot an le guest:

powerpc: No need to use dot symbols when branching to a function

binutils is smart enough to know that a branch to a function
descriptor is actually a branch to the functions text address.

Alan tells me that binutils has been doing this for 9 years.

powerpc: Fix usage of register macros getting ready for %r0 change

Anything that uses a constructed instruction (ie. from ppc-opcode.h),
need to use the new R0 macro, as %r0 is not going to work.

Also convert usages of macros where we are just determining an offset
(usually for a load/store), like:
std r14,STK_REG(r14)(r1)
Can't use STK_REG(r14) as %r14 doesn't work in the STK_REG macro since
it's just calculating an offset.

powerpc: Remove CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY

Remove CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY, the option is badly named and only does two
things:

- It wraps the MMU segment table code. With feature fixups there is
little downside to compiling this in.

- It uses the newer mtocrf instruction in various assembly functions.
Instead of making this a compile option just do it at runtime via
a feature fixup.
