parisc fixes for 4.6-rc2

Hi Linus,

please pull some important fixes for the parisc architecture from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git parisc-4.6-3

Since commit 0de7985 (parisc: Use generic extable search and sort routines) module loading is boken on parisc, because the parisc module loader wasn't prepared for the new R_PARISC_PCREL32 relocations.

In addition, due to that breakage, Mikulas Patocka noticed that handling exceptions from modules probably never worked on parisc. It was just masked by the fact that exceptions from modules don't happen during normal use.

This patch series fixes those issues and survives the tests of the lib/test_user_copy kernel module test. Some patches are tagged for stable.

Thanks,
Helge

Hi

I confirm that the kernel 4.6-rc3 fixes exception handling from modules.
