Since the dynamic preemption has been enabled for PREEMPT_RT we have now
CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT set simultaneously. This affects
the vermagic strings which comes now PREEMPT with PREEMPT_RT enabled.

The PREEMPT_RT module usually can not be loaded on a PREEMPT kernel
because some symbols are missing.
However if the symbols are fine then it continues and it crashes later.
The problem is that the struct module has a different layout and the
num_exentries or init members are at a different position leading to a
crash later on. This is not necessary caught by the size check in
elf_validity_cache_index_mod() because the mem member has an alignment
requirement of __module_memory_align which is big enough keep the total
size unchanged. Therefore we should keep the string accurate instead of
removing it.

Move the PREEMPT_RT check before the PREEMPT so that it takes precedence
if both symbols are enabled.

Instead of repeating the add_taint_module() call for each offender, create
an array and loop over that one. This simplifies adding new entries
considerably.

Adds a new format for MODVERSIONS which stores each field in a separate
ELF section. This initially adds support for variable length names, but
could later be used to add additional fields to MODVERSIONS in a
backwards compatible way if needed. Any new fields will be ignored by
old user tooling, unlike the current format where user tooling cannot
tolerate adjustments to the format (for example making the name field
longer).

Since PPC munges its version records to strip leading dots, we reproduce
the munging for the new format. Other architectures do not appear to
have architecture-specific usage of this information.

Generate both the existing modversions format and the new extended one
when running modpost. Presence of this metadata in the final .ko is
guarded by CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS.

We no longer generate an error on long symbols in modpost if
CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS is set, as they can now be appropriately
encoded in the extended section. These symbols will be skipped in the
previous encoding. An error will still be generated if
CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS is not set.

If you know that your kernel modules will only ever be loaded by a newer
kernel, you can disable BASIC_MODVERSIONS to save space. This also
allows easy creation of test modules to seee how tooling will respond to
modules that only have the new format.

Previously, two things stopped Rust from using MODVERSIONS:
1. Rust symbols are occasionally too long to be represented in the
   original versions table
2. Rust types cannot be properly hashed by the existing genksyms
   approach because:
	* Looking up type definitions in Rust is more complex than C
	* Type layout is potentially dependent on the compiler in Rust,
	  not just the source type declaration.

CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS addresses the first point, and
CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS the second. If Rust wants to use MODVERSIONS, allow
it to do so by selecting both features.

Use raw_spinlock in order to fix spurious messages about invalid context
when spinlock debugging is enabled. The lock is only used to serialize
register access.
