x86/extable: ensure entries are swapped completely when sorting
The x86 exception table sorting was changed in commit 29934b0fb8ff
("x86/extable: use generic search and sort routines") to use the arch
independent code in lib/extable.c. However, the patch was mangled
somehow on its way into the kernel from the last version posted at [1].
The committed version kind of attempted to incorporate the changes of
commit 548acf19234d ("x86/mm: Expand the exception table logic to allow
new handling options") as in _completely_ _ignoring_ the x86 specific
'handler' member of struct exception_table_entry. This effectively
broke the sorting as entries will only partly be swapped now.
Fortunately, the x86 Kconfig selects BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT, so the
exception table doesn't need to be sorted at runtime. However, in case
that ever changes, we better not break the exception table sorting just
because of that.
[ Ard Biesheuvel points out that BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT applies to the
core image only, but we still rely on the sorting routines for modules
in that case - Linus ]
Fix this by providing a swap_ex_entry_fixup() macro that takes care of
the 'handler' member.
