OK, revised with ARM support (and minor cleanups).


Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: make better section mismatch reports on i386, arm and mips

On i386, ARM and MIPS, warn_sec_mismatch() sometimes fails to show
usefull symbol name. This is because empty 'refsym' due to 0 r_addend
value. This patch is to adjust r_addend value, consulting with
apply_relocate() routine in kernel code.

Without this patch:
MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: init/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'rest_init' (at offset 0xf4) and 'try_name'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap'

With this patch:
MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap'

Now modpost can detect "kernel_init" name (and whitelist it) and show
"set_up_list3s" name.
