xsplice: Implement payload loading
Add support for loading xsplice payloads. This is somewhat similar to
the Linux kernel module loader, implementing the following steps:
- Verify the elf file.
- Parse the elf file.
- Allocate a region of memory mapped within a free area of
[xen_virt_end, XEN_VIRT_END].
- Copy allocated sections into the new region. Split them in three
regions - .text, .data, and .rodata. MUST have at least .text.
- Resolve section symbols. All other symbols must be absolute addresses.
(Note that patch titled "xsplice,symbols: Implement symbol name resolution
on address" implements that)
- Perform relocations.
- Secure the the regions (.text,.data,.rodata) with proper permissions.
We capitalize on the vmalloc callback API (see patch titled:
"rm/x86/vmap: Add v[z|m]alloc_xen, and vm_init_type") to allocate
a region of memory within the [xen_virt_end, XEN_VIRT_END] for the code.
We also use the "x86/mm: Introduce modify_xen_mappings()"
to change the virtual address page-table permissions.
