From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerw...@citrix.com>Add support for loading xsplice payloads. This is somewhat similar to the Linux kernel module loader, implementing the following steps: - Verify the elf file. - Parse the elf file. - Allocate a region of memory mapped within a free area of [xen_virt_end, XEN_VIRT_END]. - Copy allocated sections into the new region. Split them in three regions - .text, .data, and .rodata. MUST have at least .text. - Resolve section symbols. All other symbols must be absolute addresses. (Note that patch titled "xsplice,symbols: Implement symbol name resolution on address" implements that) - Perform relocations. - Secure the the regions (.text,.data,.rodata) with proper permissions. We capitalize on the vmalloc callback API (see patch titled: "vmap: Add vmalloc_cb and vfree_cb") to allocate a region of memory within the [xen_virt_end, XEN_VIRT_END] for the code.
