Youling Tang 3d36f4298b LoongArch: Switch to relative exception tables
Similar to other architectures such as arm64, x86, riscv and so on, use
offsets relative to the exception table entry values rather than their
absolute addresses for both the exception location and the fixup.

However, LoongArch label difference because it will actually produce two
relocations, a pair of R_LARCH_ADD32 and R_LARCH_SUB32. Take simple code
below for example:

$ cat test_ex_table.S
.section .text
1:
        nop
.section __ex_table,"a"
        .balign 4
        .long (1b - .)
.previous

$ loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -c test_ex_table.S
$ loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-readelf -Wr test_ex_table.o

Relocation section '.rela__ex_table' at offset 0x100 contains 2 entries:
    Offset            Info             Type         Symbol's Value   Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000000000 0000000600000032 R_LARCH_ADD32    0000000000000000  .L1^B1 + 0
0000000000000000 0000000500000037 R_LARCH_SUB32    0000000000000000  L0^A + 0

The modpost will complain the R_LARCH_SUB32 relocation, so we need to
patch modpost.c to skip this relocation for .rela__ex_table section.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
