Replace the arch specific versions of search_extable() and
sort_extable() with calls to the generic ones, which now support
relative exception tables as well.

Huge amounts of help from Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to
produce this. Andy provided the inspiration to add classes to the
exception table with a clever bit-squeezing trick, Boris pointed
out how much cleaner it would all be if we just had a new field.
Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with:
' I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space
in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody. '
The third field is another relative function pointer, this one to a
handler that executes the actions.
We start out with three handlers:
1: Legacy - just jumps the to fixup IP
2: Fault - provide the trap number in %ax to the fixup code
3: Cleaned up legacy for the uaccess error hack

Switch to using relative exception table entries on x86. On i386,
this has the advantage that the exception table entries don't need to
be relocated; on x86-64 this means the exception table entries take up
only half the space.
In either case, a 32-bit delta is sufficient, as the range of kernel
code addresses is limited.
Since part of the goal is to avoid needing to adjust the entries when
the kernel is relocated, the old trick of using addresses in the NULL
pointer range to indicate uaccess_err no longer works (and unlike RISC
architectures we can't use a flag bit); instead use an delta just
below +2G to indicate these special entries. The reach is still
limited to a single instruction.

Add a restricted version of fixup_exception() to be used during early
boot only. In particular, this doesn't support the try..catch variant
since we may not have a thread_info set up yet.
This relies on the exception table being sorted already at build time.

To make this work, we teach the page fault handler how to send
signals on failed uaccess. This only works for user addresses
(kernel addresses will never hit the page fault handler in the
first place), so we need to generate signals for those
separately.
This gets the tricky case right: if the user buffer spans
multiple pages and only the second page is invalid, we set
cr2 and si_addr correctly. UML relies on this behavior to
"fault in" pages as needed.
We steal a bit from thread_info.uaccess_err to enable this.
Before this change, uaccess_err was a 32-bit boolean value.
This fixes issues with UML when vsyscall=emulate.

Move the handling of truncated %rip from an iret fault to the fault
entry path.
This allows x86-64 to use the standard search_extable() function.

Impact: introduce new uaccess exception handling framework
Introduce {get|put}_user_try and {get|put}_user_catch as new uaccess exception
handling framework.
{get|put}_user_try begins exception block and {get|put}_user_catch(err) ends
the block and gets err if an exception occured in {get|put}_user_ex() in the
block. The exception is stored thread_info->uaccess_err.
The example usage of this framework is below;
int func()
{
int err = 0;
get_user_try {
get_user_ex(...);
get_user_ex(...);
:
} get_user_catch(err);
return err;
}
Note: get_user_ex() is not clear the value when an exception occurs, it's
different from the behavior of __get_user(), but I think it doesn't matter.

Introduce fixup_exception() on 64-bit and use it in kprobes to
eliminate an #ifdef.
Only 64-bit needs search_extable() due to a stepping bug.
