Subject: [PATCH v1 2/5] livepatch: Add klp-convert tool

Livepatches need to access external symbols which can't be handled
by the normal relocation mechanism. It is needed for two types
of symbols:

  + Symbols which can be local for the original livepatched function.
    The alternative implementation in the livepatch sees them
    as external symbols.

  + Symbols in modules which are exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL*(). They
    must be handled special way otherwise the livepatch module would
    depend on the livepatched one. Loading such livepatch would cause
    loading the other module as well.

The address of these symbols can be found via kallsyms. Or they can 
be relocated using livepatch specific relocation sections as specified
in Documentation/livepatch/module-elf-format.txt.

Currently, there is no trivial way to embed the required information as
requested in the final livepatch elf object. klp-convert solves this
problem by using annotations in the elf object to convert the relocation
accordingly to the specification, enabling it to be handled by the
livepatch loader.

Given the above, create scripts/livepatch to hold tools developed for
livepatches and add source files for klp-convert there.

Allow to annotate such external symbols in the livepatch by a macro
KLP_RELOC_SYMBOL(). It will create symbol with all needed
metadata. For example:

  extern char *saved_command_line \
                 KLP_RELOC_SYMBOL(vmlinux, vmlinux, saved_command_line, 0);

would create symbol

$>readelf -r -W <compiled livepatch module>:
Relocation section '.rela.text' at offset 0x32e60 contains 10 entries:
    Offset             Info             Type               Symbol's Value  Symbol's Name + Addend
[...]
0000000000000068  0000003c00000002 R_X86_64_PC32          0000000000000000 .klp.sym.rela.vmlinux.vmlinux.saved_command_line,0 - 4
[...]


Also add scripts/livepatch/klp-convert. The tool transforms symbols
created by KLP_RELOC_SYMBOL() to object specific rela sections
and rela entries which would later be proceed when the livepatch
or the livepatched object is loaded.

For example, klp-convert would replace the above symbols with:

$> readelf -r -W <livepatch_module_proceed_by_klp_convert>
Relocation section '.klp.rela.vmlinux.text' at offset 0x5cb60 contains 1 entry:
    Offset             Info             Type               Symbol's Value  Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000000068  0000003c00000002 R_X86_64_PC32          0000000000000000 .klp.sym.vmlinux.saved_command_line,0 - 4

klp-convert relies on libelf and on a list implementation. Add files
scripts/livepatch/elf.c and scripts/livepatch/elf.h, which are a libelf
interfacing layer and scripts/livepatch/list.h, which is a list
implementation.

Update Makefiles to correctly support the compilation of the new tool,
update MAINTAINERS file and add a .gitignore file.
