Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] LoongArch: Support new relocation types

The version 2.00 of LoongArch ELF ABI specification introduced new
relocation types, and the development tree of Binutils and GCC has
started to use them. If the kernel is built with the latest snapshot of
Binutils or GCC, it will fail to load the modules because of unrecognized
relocation types in modules.

Add support for GOT and new relocation types for the module loader, so
the kernel (with modules) can be built with the "normal" code model and
function properly.

Tested by building the kernel with Binutils & GCC master branch,
running the kernel with 35 in-tree modules loaded, and loading one
module with 20 GOT loads (both old SOP_PUSH_GPREL and new
GOT_PC_HI20/GOT_PC_LO12 relocations tested, and loaded addresses
verified by comparing with /proc/kallsyms).

Link: https://github.com/loongson/LoongArch-Documentation/pull/57
Link: https://gcc.gnu.org/r13-1834
Link: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=f09482a

Changes from v1 to v2:

- Fix a stupid programming error (confusion between the number of PLT
entries and the number of GOT entries). (Bug spotted by Youling).
- Synthesize the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ symbol with module.lds, instead
of faking it at runtime. The 3rd patch from V1 is now merged into
the 1st patch because it would be a one-line change. (Suggested by
Jinyang).
- Keep reloc_rela_handlers[] ordered by the relocation type ID.
(Suggested by Youling).
- Remove -fplt along with -Wa,-mla-* options because it's the default.
(Suggested by Youling).

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] LoongArch: Stop using undocumented assembler options

Now we can handle GOT and GOT-based relocations properly, remove the
undocumented `-Wa,-mla-{global,local}-with-{pcrel,abs}` assembler hacks.

And, -fplt is the default of all supported compilers (GCC, and maybe
Clang in the future), so it can be removed as well.

Adjust assembly code to explicitly use "la.pcrel" where necessary.
