livepatch/x86: apply alternatives and paravirt patches after relocations
Implement arch_klp_init_object_loaded() for x86, which applies
alternatives/paravirt patches. This fixes the order in which relocations
and alternatives/paravirt patches are applied.
Previously, if a patch module had alternatives or paravirt patches,
these were applied first by the module loader before livepatch can apply
per-object relocations. The (buggy) sequence of events was:
(1) Load patch module
(2) Apply alternatives and paravirt patches to patch module
* Note that these are applied to the new functions in the patch module
(3) Apply per-object relocations to patch module when target module loads.
* This clobbers what was written in step 2
This lead to crashes and corruption in general, since livepatch would
overwrite or step on previously applied alternative/paravirt patches.
The correct sequence of events should be:
(1) Load patch module
(2) Apply per-object relocations to patch module
(3) Apply alternatives and paravirt patches to patch module
This is fixed by delaying paravirt/alternatives patching until after
relocations are applied. Any .altinstructions or .parainstructions
sections are prefixed with ".klp.arch.${objname}" and applied in
arch_klp_init_object_loaded().
