Hi Linus,

this patchset fixes and enforces correct section alignments for the ex_table,
altinstructions, parisc_unwind, jump_table and bug_table which are created by
inline assembly.
Due to not being correctly aligned at link & load time they can trigger
unnecessarily the kernel unaligned exception handler at runtime.
While at it, I switched the bug table to use relative addresses which reduces
the size of the table by half on 64-bit.

We still had the ENOSYM and EREMOTERELEASE errno symbols as left-overs from
HP-UX, which now trigger build-issues with glibc. We can simply remove them.

Most of the patches are tagged for stable kernel series.

Please pull.

Thanks!
Helge

  parisc: Reduce size of the bug_table on 64-bit kernel by half (2023-11-25 09:43:18 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
parisc architecture fixes for kernel v6.7-rc3:

- Drop HP-UX ENOSYM and EREMOTERELEASE return codes to avoid glibc
  build issues
- Fix section alignments for ex_table, altinstructions, parisc unwind
  table, jump_table and bug_table
- Reduce size of bug_table on 64-bit kernel by using relative
  pointers
