scripts: add verifier script for builtin module range data
The modules.builtin.ranges offset range data for builtin modules is generated at compile time based on the list of built-in modules and the vmlinux.map and vmlinux.o.map linker maps. This data can be used to determine whether a symbol at a particular address belongs to module code that was configured to be compiled into the kernel proper as a built-in module (rather than as a standalone module). This patch adds a script that uses the generated modules.builtin.ranges data to annotate the symbols in the System.map with module names if their address falls within a range that belongs to one or more built-in modules. It then processes the vmlinux.map (and if needed, vmlinux.o.map) to verify the annotation: - For each top-level section: - For each object in the section: - Determine whether the object is part of a built-in module (using modules.builtin and the .*.cmd file used to compile the object as suggested in [0]) - For each symbol in that object, verify that the built-in module association (or lack thereof) matches the annotation given to the symbol.
