x86/unwind/orc: Add ELF section with ORC version identifier
Commits ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC
metadata") and fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in
two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel,
it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces
on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack
unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn
maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the
ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change.
It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel
module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in
kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table).
Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually
bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If
there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script
can be updated.
This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the
20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding
__start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux.
