Russell King 8931360eb9 ARM: module: clean up handling of ELF unwind tables
There's no need to keep pointers to the ELF sections available while
the module is loaded - we only need the section pointers while we're
finding and registering the unwind tables, which can all be done during
the finalize stage of loading.

Phil Carmody 09e56a2d07 ARM: 6340/1: module - additional unwind tables for exit/devexit sections
Without these, exit functions cannot be stack-traced, so to speak.
This implies that module unloads that perform allocations (don't
laugh) will cause noisy warnings on the console when kmemleak is
enabled, as it presumes that all code's call chains are traceable.
Similarly, BUGs and WARN_ONs will give additional console spam.

Phil Carmody e5f7772eec ARM: 6339/1: module - simplify unwind table handling
The various sections are all dealt with similarly, so factor out
that common behaviour. (Incorporating Peter Huewe's fix.)

Catalin Marinas 2e1926e7b5 [ARM] 5384/1: unwind: Add stack unwinding support for loadable modules
This patch adds ELF section parsing for the unwinding tables in loadable
modules together with the PREL31 relocation symbol resolving.

Russell King 4baa992243 [ARM] move include/asm-arm to arch/arm/include/asm
Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
