[PATCH v6 kspp-next 14/22] FG-KASLR: use a scripted approach to handle .text.* sections

[Alexander Lobakin]

Instead of relying on the linker and his heuristics about where to
place (orphan) .text.* section, use a script to read vmlinux.o and
generate a new .tmp_vmlinux.lds which will contain an entry for
each of them. It relies on a magic marker inside the preprocessed
vmlinux.lds (which is harmless in case FG-KASLR is disabled) and
injects a list of input text sections there.

As a bonus, this approach allows us to configure FG-KASLR in terms
of number of functions per each section. The zero value means one
section per each functions, it is the strongest choice, but the
resulting vmlinux also has the biggest size here, as well as the
total number of sections and the boottime delay (which is still
barely noticeable). The values of 4-8 are still strong enough and
allows to save some space, and so on.

We also keep tracking the maximal alignment we found while
traversing through the readelf output and the number of times we
spotted it. It's actual only for values >= 64 and is required to
reserve some space between the last .text.* section and the _etext
marker.
The reason is that e.g. x86 has at least 3 ASM sections (4 with
ClangCFI) aligned to 4096, and when mixing them with the small
sections, we could go past the _etext and render the kernel
unbootable. This reserved space ensures this won't happen.
