This v6 addresses Andy Shevchenko's feedback from the v5 series [0] to use
lowercase on a few of the tables.h macros. No other changes have been done to
this series. As I had mentioned on the last cover-letter the v5 series had
gone through a lot of testing both compile and run time, with the linktable
test driver forced-enabled as a debug measure to try to capture errors as
many architectures as possible:
alpha arc arcv2 arm arm64 blackfin c6x
cris crisv32 frv h8300 hexagon i386 ia64
m32r m68k m68k_nommu metag microblaze mips_22 mips_24
mips_25 mn10300 nios2 openrisc parisc parisc64 powerpc
s390 score sh sparc32 sparc64 tile um
unicore32 x86_64 xtensa
The only architecture that was not tested was avr32 and that is because
linux-next fails to compile on it. I'd like to greatly thank Guenter Roeck for
his help with testing.
The debug patch which force enables the test driver is not submitted for
upstream inclusion but is kept as part of the public tree for those curious,
its the last patch [1]. This tree is based on linux-next tag next-20170109.

Luis R. Rodriguez (14):
generic-sections: add section core helpers
xtensa: skip adding literal when SORT() is used
ranges.h: add helpers to build and identify Linux section ranges
tables.h: add linker table support
kbuild: enable option to force compile force-obj-y and force-lib-y
firmware/Makefile: force recompilation if makefile changes
firmware: port built-in section to linker table
jump_label: move guard #endif down where it belongs
jump_label: port __jump_table to linker tables
dynamic_debug: port to use linker tables
kprobes: move kprobe declarations to asm-generic/kprobes.h
kprobes: port .kprobes.text to section range
kprobes: port blacklist kprobes to linker table
lib: add linker tables test driver
