24/* This file is part of the vtable verification feature (for a
25 detailed description of the feature, see comments in
26 vtable-verify.c). The vtable verification feature creates
27 certain global symbols that need to be read-write sometimes during
28 program execution, and read-only at others. It uses 'mprotect' to
29 change the memory protections of the pages on which these variables
30 are stored. In order to not affect the protections of other
31 program variables, these variables are put into a special named
32 section, ".vtable_map_vars", which is page-aligned at the start,
33 and which is padded with a page-sized amount of zeros at the end.
34 To make this section page aligned, we create a special symbol,
35 "_vtable_map_vars_start" which we make the very first thing that
36 goes into the section. This file defines that symbol (and only
37 that symbol). GCC compiles this file into vtv_start.o, and
38 inserts vtv_start.o into the link line immediately after
39 crtbegin.o, if the program is compiled with -fvtable.verify.
40
41 In order to pad the ".vtable_map_vars" section with a page-sized
42 amount of zeros at the end, there is a second symbol,
43 _vtable_map_vars_end, which is defined in another file, vtv_end.c.
44 This second symbol is a page-sized array of chars, zero-filled, and
45 is the very last thing to go into the section. When the GCC driver
46 inserts vtv_start.o into the link line (just after crtbegin.o) it
47 also inserts vtv_end.o into the link line, just before crtend.o.
48 This has the desired effect of making our section page-aligned and
49 page-size paded, ensuring that no other program data lands on our
50 pages. */
