[PATCH v11 17/19] kernel: add support for .init_array.* constructors

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Tue Feb 03 2015 - 12:44:04 EST


KASan uses constructors for initializing redzones for global
variables. Globals instrumentation in GCC 4.9.2 produces
constructors with priority (.init_array.00099)

Currently kernel ignores such constructors. Only constructors
with default priority supported (.init_array)

This patch adds support for constructors with priorities.
For kernel image we put pointers to constructors between
__ctors_start/__ctors_end and do_ctors() will call them
on start up.
For modules we merge .init_array.* sections into resulting .init_array.
Module code properly handles constructors in .init_array section.
