[PATCH kernel v3] powerpc/64: Add UADDR64 relocation support

When ld detects unaligned relocations, it emits R_PPC64_UADDR64
relocations instead of R_PPC64_RELATIVE. Currently R_PPC64_UADDR64 are
detected by arch/powerpc/tools/relocs_check.sh and expected not to work.
Below is a simple chunk to trigger this behaviour (this disables
optimization for the demonstration purposes only, this also happens with
-O1/-O2 when CONFIG_PRINTK_INDEX=y, for example):

\#pragma GCC push_options
\#pragma GCC optimize ("O0")
struct entry {
        const char *file;
        int line;
} __attribute__((packed));
static const struct entry e1 = { .file = __FILE__, .line = __LINE__ };
static const struct entry e2 = { .file = __FILE__, .line = __LINE__ };
...
prom_printf("e1=%s %lx %lx\n", e1.file, (unsigned long) e1.file, mfmsr());
prom_printf("e2=%s %lx\n", e2.file, (unsigned long) e2.file);
\#pragma GCC pop_options


This adds support for UADDR64 for 64bit. This reuses __dynamic_symtab
from the 32bit which supports more relocation types already.

Because RELACOUNT includes only R_PPC64_RELATIVE, this replaces it with
RELASZ which is the size of all relocation records.

Changes:
v3:
* named some labels

v2:
* replaced RELACOUNT with RELASZ/RELAENT
* removed FIXME

---

Tested via qemu gdb stub (the kernel is loaded at 0x400000).

Disasm:

c000000001a804d0 <e1>:
c000000001a804d0:       b0 04 a8 01     .long 0x1a804b0
                        c000000001a804d0: R_PPC64_RELATIVE      *ABS*-0x3ffffffffe57fb50
c000000001a804d4:       00 00 00 c0     lfs     f0,0(0)
c000000001a804d8:       fa 08 00 00     .long 0x8fa

c000000001a804dc <e2>:
        ...
                        c000000001a804dc: R_PPC64_UADDR64       .rodata+0x4b0

Before relocation:
>>> p *(unsigned long *) 0x1e804d0
$1 = 0xc000000001a804b0
>>> p *(unsigned long *) 0x1e804dc
$2 = 0x0

After relocation in __boot_from_prom:
>>> p *(unsigned long *) 0x1e804d0
$1 = 0x1e804b0
>>> p *(unsigned long *) 0x1e804dc
$2 = 0x1e804b0

After relocation in __after_prom_start:
>>> p *(unsigned long *) 0x1e804d0
$1 = 0xc000000001a804b0
>>> p *(unsigned long *) 0x1e804dc
$2 = 0xc000000001a804b0
>>>
