| /* This file is part of the vtable verification feature (for a |
| detailed description of the feature, see comments in |
| tree-vtable-verify.c). The vtable verification feature creates |
| certain global symbols that need to be read-write sometimes during |
| program execution, and read-only at others. It uses 'mprotect' to |
| change the memory protections of the pages on which these variables |
| are stored. In order to not affect the protections of other |
| program variables, these variables are put into a special named |
| section, ".vtable_map_vars", which is page-aligned at the start, |
| and which is padded with a page-sized amount of zeros at the end. |
| To make this section page aligned, we create a special symbol, |
| "_vtable_map_vars_start" which we make the very first thing that |
| goes into the section. This file defines that symbol (and only |
| that symbol). GCC compiles this file into vtv_start.o, and |
| inserts vtv_start.o into the link line immediately after |
| crtbegin.o, if the program is compiled with -fvtable.verify. |
| |
| In order to pad the ".vtable_map_vars" section with a page-sized |
| amount of zeros at the end, there is a second symbol, |
| _vtable_map_vars_end, which is defined in another file, vtv_end.c. |
| This second symbol is a page-sized array of chars, zero-filled, and |
| is the very last thing to go into the section. When the GCC driver |
| inserts vtv_start.o into the link line (just after crtbegin.o) it |
| also inserts vtv_end.o into the link line, just before crtend.o. |
| This has the desired effect of making our section page-aligned and |
| page-size paded, ensuring that no other program data lands on our |
| pages. */ |
