Building with a large config and -ffunction-sections results in a large
number of sections and sortextable needs to be able to handle that.
Implement support for > 64K sections as modpost does.Signed-off-by: Jamie Iles

The exception table sorter outputs one line every time
it gets called, e.g. 'sort done marker at 66dc00', which
is slightly annoying when doing 'make -s' which is otherwise
completely silent. Since that output is not helpful to
most people building the kernel, turn it off by default.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

x86 is now using relative rather than absolute addresses in its
exception table, so we add a sorter for these. If there are
relocations on the __ex_table section, they are redundant and probably
incorrect after the sort, so they are zeroed out leaving them valid
and consistent.Also use the unaligned safe accessors from tools/{be,le}_byteshift.h

Using this build-time sort saves time booting as we don't have to burn
cycles sorting the exception table.Signed-off-by: David Daney
