[RFC PATCH v3 13/18] dyndbg+module: expose ddebug_sites to modules

From: Jim Cromie
Date: Tue Mar 16 2021 - 01:09:29 EST


In order to drop the pointer connecting _ddebug's to _ddebug_sites,
we need to elevate the latter; we need to track it in (internal)
ddebug_tables, and set it in ddebug_add_module. That last part
exposes it by interface to module.c, so we add a field to load_info,
and adjust load_module to initialize it from the elf section.

Its possible that this closes a "hole" created when __dyndbg_sites
section was added, in that the section wasn't "managed" directly, and
could conceivably get lost later. I never saw any misbehavior loading
i915.ko into a vm, but still..

TBD/RFC:

these 2 vectors should be in a single struct. if this struct can have
ddebugs[], ie a flex-array, then container_of can get us to the
sites*, yielding &ddebug_sites[N], and allowing to drop _ddebug.site

The trouble with this is that ddebugs* now points to someone elses
memory, and we cant just steal it and stomp on the memory just in
front of it (for the sites ptr).

rename n to numdbgs
