Subject: [RFC PATCH v6 20/34] dyndbg: RFC handle __dyndbg* sections in module.lds.h

Up until now, loadable modules have tacitly linked the 2 __dyndbg*
sections into the .ko, as observable in log by enabling module.c's
pr_debugs and loading a module.

But now, we need to explicitly compose our named output sections,
placing the header sections in front of their respective __dyndbg*
input sections.  We reuse input section names for the output.

This gives us the placement we need for the header record, which we
can see in the "add-module:"s and elements "0 0" below:

    "0 0" lines are headers: predicate (function==module && !lineno)
    "X debug prints in" are 1 too high, they count headers.
    we are adding tables for empty modules (1st 2 below)

[    7.578873] dyndbg: add-module: ghash_clmulni_intel
[    7.579716] dyndbg:  0 0 ghash_clmulni_intel.ghash_clmulni_intel.0
[    7.608995] dyndbg:   1 debug prints in module ghash_clmulni_intel

[    8.113276] dyndbg:  13 debug prints in module intel_rapl_common
[    8.130452] dyndbg: add-module: intel_rapl_msr
[    8.131140] dyndbg:  0 0 intel_rapl_msr.intel_rapl_msr.0
[    8.132026] dyndbg:  1 1 intel_rapl_msr.rapl_msr_probe.172

[    8.133794] dyndbg:   3 debug prints in module intel_rapl_msr

This gives us the property we need:

   fixed offset from &__dyndbg[N] to &__dyndbg[0]
   container_of gets &header
   header has ptr to __dyndbg_sites[]
   we can (in principle) drop __dyndbg.site ptr
   (after we adapt header to keep it)

TODO:

At this point, for loaded modules, ddebug_add_module() sees the header
as 0'th element, as we need in order to drop site (and regain worst
case footprint parity).

It could/should properly init this header to support the _sites[n]
lookup for loaded mods.  Or at least handle it explicitly.  Or at
least see what proc-show does with it currently.

Note that for builtins, decided by (__start <= dp < __stop), we use
__start___dyndbg_sites[N] directly, and dont need the header.

But maybe we should use it anyway, double-checking/BUGing when wrong.
