layout_and_allocate() does everything up to and including the final
struct module placement inside the allocated module memory.  We have
to store the symbol layout information in our struct load_info though.

This avoids the nasty code we had before where 'mod' pointed first
to the version inside the temporary allocation containing the entire
file, then later was moved to point to the real struct module: now
the main code only ever sees the final module address.

Andrew had the sole pleasure of tickling this bug in linux-next; when we set
up "info->strtab" it's pointing into the temporary copy of the module.  For
most uses that is fine, but kallsyms keeps a pointer around during module
load (inside mod->strtab).

If we oops for some reason inside a module's init function, kallsyms will use
the mod->strtab pointer into the now-freed temporary module copy.

(Later oopses work fine: after init we overwrite mod->strtab to point to a
 compacted core-only strtab).

Btw, here's a patch that _looks_ large, but it really pretty trivial, and
sets things up so that it would be way easier to split off pieces of the
module loading.

The reason it looks large is that it creates a "module_info" structure
that contains all the module state that we're building up while loading,
instead of having individual variables for all the indices etc.

So the patch ends up being large, because every "symindex" access instead
becomes "info.index.sym" etc. That may be a few characters longer, but it
then means that we can just pass a pointer to that "info" structure
around. and let all the pieces fill it in very naturally.

As an example of that, the patch also moves the initialization of all
those convenience variables into a "setup_module_info()" function. And at
this point it really does become very natural to start to peel off some of
the error labels and move them into the helper functions - now the
"truncated" case is gone, and is handled inside that setup function
instead.

So maybe you don't like this approach, and it does make the variable
accesses a bit longer, but I don't think unreadably so. And the patch
really does look big and scary, but there really should be absolutely no
semantic changes - most of it was a trivial and mindless rename.

In fact, it was so mindless that I on purpose kept the existing helper
functions looking like this:

-       err = check_modinfo(mod, sechdrs, infoindex, versindex);
+       err = check_modinfo(mod, info.sechdrs, info.index.info, info.index.vers);

rather than changing them to just take the "info" pointer. IOW, a second
phase (if you think the approach is ok) would change that calling
convention to just do

	err = check_modinfo(mod, &info);

(and same for "layout_sections()", "layout_symtabs()" etc.) Similarly,
while right now it makes things _look_ bigger, with things like this:

	versindex = find_sec(hdr, sechdrs, secstrings, "__versions");

becoming

	info->index.vers = find_sec(info->hdr, info->sechdrs, info->secstrings, "__versions");

in the new "setup_module_info()" function, that's again just a result of
it being a search-and-replace patch. By using the 'info' pointer, we could
just change the 'find_sec()' interface so that it ends up being

	info->index.vers = find_sec(info, "__versions");

instead, and then we'd actually have a shorter and more readable line. So
for a lot of those mindless variable name expansions there's would be room
for separate cleanups.

I didn't move quite everything in there - if we do this to layout_symtabs,
for example, we'd want to move the percpu, symoffs, stroffs, *strmap
variables to be fields in that module_info structure too. But that's a
much smaller patch, I moved just the really core stuff that is currently
being set up and used in various parts.

But even in this rough form, it removes close to 70 lines from that
function (but adds 22 lines overall, of course - the structure definition,
the helper function declarations and call-sites etc etc).

And now that I'm looking at that call-chain (to see if it would make sense
to use some other more specific lock - doesn't look like it: all the
readers are using RCU and this is the only writer), I also give you this
trivial one-liner. It changes each_symbol() to not put that constant array
on the stack, resulting in changing

        movq    $C.388.31095, %rsi      #, tmp85
        subq    $376, %rsp      #,
        movq    %rdi, %rbx      # fn, fn
        leaq    -208(%rbp), %rdi        #, tmp84
        movq    %rbx, %rdx      # fn,
        rep movsl
        xorl    %esi, %esi      #
        leaq    -208(%rbp), %rdi        #, tmp87
        movq    %r12, %rcx      # data,
        call    each_symbol_in_section.clone.0  #

into

        xorl    %esi, %esi      #
        subq    $216, %rsp      #,
        movq    %rdi, %rbx      # fn, fn
        movq    $arr.31078, %rdi        #,
        call    each_symbol_in_section.clone.0  #

which is not so much about being obviously shorter and simpler because we
don't unnecessarily copy that constant array around onto the stack, but
also about having a much smaller stack footprint (376 vs 216 bytes - see
the update of 'rsp').

Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a
request_module these days.  And it's not clear it's always a bad idea:
for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel
or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right
one.

In this particular case, it's libcrc32c:

	libcrc32c_mod_init
	 crypto_alloc_shash
	  crypto_alloc_tfm
	   crypto_find_alg
	    crypto_alg_mod_lookup
	     crypto_larval_lookup
	      request_module

If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to
finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so
holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress
until that is released.

Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard:
we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep
where we don't hold the lock.  Error reporting is a bit trickier: we
need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the
lock.

Other notes:
1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow
   symbol version mismatches to be ignored.
2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only
   external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

It disabled preempt so it was "safe", but nothing stops another module

I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and
didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like
PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed
("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't
hold it at all when it did the find_module()).

Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able
to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a
bit.

In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit
later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then
just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before
adding ourselves to the list.

When adding a module that depends on another one, we used to create a
one-way list of "modules_which_use_me", so that module unloading could
see who needs a module.

It's actually quite simple to make that list go both ways: so that we
not only can see "who uses me", but also see a list of modules that are
"used by me".

In fact, we always wanted that list in "module_unload_free()": when we
unload a module, we want to also release all the other modules that are
used by that module.  But because we didn't have that list, we used to
first iterate over all modules, and then iterate over each "used by me"
list of that module.

By making the list two-way, we simplify module_unload_free(), and it
allows for some trivial fixes later too.

This fixes "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c." which
happened at boot time due to multiple parallel module loads.

The problem was a deadlock: we wait for a module to finish
initializing, but we keep the module_lock mutex so it can't complete.
In particular, this could reasonably happen if a module does a
request_module() in its initialization routine.

So we change use_module() to return an errno rather than a bool, and if
it's -EBUSY we drop the lock and wait in the caller, then reaquire the
lock.

Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop.  As cpu stoppers are
guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.

With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
new implementation is much simpler.  Asking the cpu_stop to execute
the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
disabled is enough.

stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
removed.

The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
large machines.  According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
large machines.  cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
cpus and should have the same effect.

Module refcounting is implemented with a per-cpu counter for speed.
However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may
be taken by one CPU and released by another.  Reference count summation
may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment,
leading to lower than expected count.  A module which never has its
actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to
this race.

Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this
race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules.  However there are
other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is
exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine.

Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of
module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements.  The
increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will
always have its corresponding increment counted.  The final refcount is
the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a
low-refcount from being returned.
