[PATCH v6 48/57] dyndbg: add .gnu.linkonce slot in vmlinux.lds.h KEEPs

From: Jim Cromie
Date: Sun Sep 04 2022 - 17:46:23 EST


Add linker symbols and KEEPs for .gnu.linkonce.dyndbg and
.gnu.linkonce.dyndbg_sites sections, placing them in front of their
respective dyndbg and dyndbg_sites sections.

This placement gives us a known relative offset (ie -1) from the start
of the vector to the header, letting us use container_of to get it.
The _index added previously allows determining &descs[0] from any
desc[N].

The .gnu.linkonce. collapses possible multiple declarations into a
single allocation, with a single address.

todo: will need similar for modules.lds.h
