Due to clang and LLD's tendency to use a PLT for builtins, and as they
don't have full support for EABI, we sometimes have to deal with a PLT in
.ko files in a clang-built kernel.
As such, augment the in-kernel linker to support jump table processing.
As there is no particular reason to support lazy binding in kernel modules,
only implement Secure-PLT immediate binding.
As part of these changes, add elf_cpu_parse_dynamic() to the MD API of the
in-kernel linker (except on platforms that use raw object files.)
The new function will allow MD code to act on MD tags in _DYNAMIC.
Use this new function in the PowerPC MD code to ensure BSS-PLT modules using
PLT will be rejected during insertion, and to poison the runtime resolver to
ensure we get a clear panic reason if a call is made to the resolver.

The arm kernel stack unwinder has apparently never been able to unwind when
the path of execution leads through a kernel module. There was code that
tried to handle modules by looking for the unwind data in them, but it did
so by trying to find symbols which have never existed in arm kernel
modules. That caused the unwind code to panic, and because part of panic
handling calls into the unwind code, that just created a recursion loop.
Locating the unwind data in a loaded module requires accessing the Elf
section headers to find the SHT_ARM_EXIDX section. For preloaded modules
those headers are present in a metadata blob. For dynamically loaded
modules, the headers are present only while the loading is in progress; the
memory is freed once the module is ready to use. For that reason, there is
new code in kern/link_elf.c, wrapped in #ifdef __arm__, to extract the
unwind info while the headers are loaded. The values are saved into new
fields in the linker_file structure which are also conditional on __arm__.
In arm/unwind.c there is new code to locally cache the per-module info
needed to find the unwind tables. The local cache is crafted for lockless
read access, because the unwind code often needs to run in context where
sleeping is not allowed. A large comment block describes the local cache
list, so I won't repeat it all here.
With an upcoming change the amd64 kernel will map preloaded files RW
instead of RWX, so the kernel linker must adjust protections
appropriately using pmap_change_prot().

Apply a linker script when linking i386 kernel modules to apply padding
to a set_pcpu or set_vnet section. The padding value is kind-of random
and is used to catch modules not compiled with the linker-script, so
possibly still having problems leading to kernel panics.
This is needed as the code generated on certain architectures for
non-simple-types, e.g., an array can generate an absolute relocation
on the edge (just outside) the section and thus will not be properly
relocated. Adding the padding to the end of the section will ensure
that even absolute relocations of complex types will be inside the
section, if they are the last object in there and hence relocation will
work properly and avoid panics such as observed with carp.ko or ipsec.ko.
There is a rather lengthy discussion of various options to apply in
the mentioned PRs and their depends/blocks, and the review.
There seems no best solution working across multiple toolchains and
multiple version of them, so I took the liberty of taking one,
as currently our users (and our CI system) are hitting this on
just i386 and we need some solution. I wish we would have a proper
fix rather than another "hack".

returns the section start and stop locations as well as a count if the
caller asks for them.
There was only one out-of-file consumer of count which did not actually
use it and hence was eliminated in r339407.
In r194784 parse_dpcpu(), and in r195699 parse_vnet() (a copy of the
former) started to use the link_elf_lookup_set() interface internally
also asking for the count.
count is computed as the difference of the void **stop - void **start
locations and as such, if the absoulte numbers
(stop - start) % sizeof(void *) != 0
a round-down happens, e.g., **stop 0x1003 - **start 0x1000 => count 0.
To get the section size instead of "count is the number of pointer
elements in the section", the parse_*() functions do a
count *= sizeof(void *).
They use the result to allocate memory and copy the section data
into the "master" and per-instance memory regions with a size of
count.
As a result of count possibly round-down this can miss the last
bytes of the section. The good news is that we do not touch
out of bounds memory during these operations (we may at a later stage
if the last bytes would overflow the master sections).
Given relocation in elf_relocaddr() works based on the absolute
numbers of start and stop, this means that we can possibly try to
access relocated data which was never copied and hence we get
random garbage or at best zeroed memory.
Stop the two (last) consumers of count (the parse_*() functions)
from using count as well, and calculate the section size based on
the absolute numbers of stop and start and use the proper size for
the memory allocation and data copies. This will make the symbols
in the last bytes of the pcpu or vnet sections be presented as
expected.

then having the kernel relocate itself at runtime.
This involves:
1. Have the loader pass the start and size of the .ctors section to the
kernel in 2 new metadata elements.
2. Have the linker backends look for and record the start and size of
the .ctors section in dynamically loaded modules.
3. Have the linker backends call the constructors as part of the final
work of initializing preloaded or dynamically loaded modules.
Note that LLVM appends the priority of the constructors to the name of
the .ctors section. Not so when compiling with GCC. The code currently
works for GCC and not for LLVM.

global variables are placed. When a module is loaded by link_elf
linker its variables from "set_vnet" linker set are copied to the
kernel "set_vnet" ("modspace") and all references to these variables
inside the module are relocated accordingly.
The issue is when a module is loaded that has references to global
variables from another, previously loaded module: these references are
not relocated so an invalid address is used when the module tries to
access the variable. The example is V_layer3_chain, defined in ipfw
module and accessed from ipfw_nat.
The same issue is with DPCPU variables, which use "set_pcpu" linker
set.
Fix this making the link_elf linker on a module load recognize
"external" DPCPU/VNET variables defined in the previously loaded
modules and relocate them accordingly. For this set_pcpu_list and
set_vnet_list are used, where the addresses of modules' "set_pcpu" and
"set_vnet" linker sets are stored.

(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.
