ARM: 8220/1: allow modules outside of bl range

Loading modules far away from the kernel in memory is problematic
because the 'bl' instruction only has limited reach, and modules are not
built with PLTs. Instead of using the -mlong-calls option (which affects
all compiler emitted bl instructions, but not the ones in assembler),
this patch allocates some additional space at module load time, and
populates it with PLT like veneers when encountering relocations that
are out of range.

This should work with all relocations against symbols exported by the
kernel, including those resulting from GCC generated implicit function
calls for ftrace etc.

The module memory size increases by about 5% on average, regardless of
whether any PLT entries were actually needed. However, due to the page
based rounding that occurs when allocating module memory, the average
memory footprint increase is negligible.

bool "Use PLTs to allow module memory to spill over into vmalloc area"
depends on MODULES
help
Allocate PLTs when loading modules so that jumps and calls whose
targets are too far away for their relative offsets to be encoded
in the instructions themselves can be bounced via veneers in the
module's PLT. This allows modules to be allocated in the generic
vmalloc area after the dedicated module memory area has been
exhausted. The modules will use slightly more memory, but after
rounding up to page size, the actual memory footprint is usually
the same.
Say y if you are getting out of memory errors while loading modules
