stable backport for dc8635b78cd8669

[Vineet Gupta]

Hi Stable team,

Can we please backport dc8635b78cd8669c37e230058d18c33af7451ab1 ("kernel/exit.c:
export abort() to modules")

0-Day kernel test infra reports ARC 4.x.y builds failing after backport of
af1be2e21203867cb958aace ("ARC: handle gcc generated __builtin_trap for older
compiler")

Thx
-Vineet

So is this only needed in 4.9.y and 4.4.y?

It doesn't apply there at all, can you provide a working backport for
those kernels so that I can queue it up?

[PATCH] ARC: export "abort" for modules

[Vineet Gupta]

This is a custom patch (no mainline equivalent) for stable backport only
to address 0-Day kernel test infra ARC 4.x.y builds errors.

The reason for this custom patch as that it is a single patch, touches
only ARC, vs. atleast two 7c2c11b208be09c1, dc8635b78cd8669 which touch
atleast 3 other arches (one long removed) and could potentially have a
fallout.
