objtool: Free insns when done

2023-06-07T17:03:27+00:00

Free the decoded instructions as they're no longer needed after this
point.  This frees up a big chunk of heap, which will come handy when
skipping the reading of DWARF section data.

objtool: Get rid of reloc->rel[a]

2023-06-07T17:03:26+00:00

Get the relocation entry info from the underlying rsec->data.

objtool: Get rid of reloc->jump_table_start

2023-06-07T17:03:24+00:00

Rework the jump table logic slightly so 'jump_table_start' is no longer
needed.

- Before: peak heap memory consumption: 40.37G
- After:  peak heap memory consumption: 38.64G

objtool: Get rid of reloc->addend

2023-06-07T17:03:23+00:00

Get the addend from the embedded GElf_Rel[a] struct.

objtool: Add elf_create_section_pair()

2023-06-07T17:03:17+00:00

When creating an annotation section, allocate the reloc section data at
the beginning.  This simplifies the data model a bit and also saves
memory due to the removal of malloc() in elf_rebuild_reloc_section().

objtool: Consolidate rel/rela handling

2023-06-07T17:03:15+00:00

The GElf_Rel[a] structs have more similarities than differences.  It's
safe to hard-code the assumptions about their shared fields as they will
never change.  Consolidate their handling where possible, getting rid of
duplicated code.

Also, at least for now we only ever create rela sections, so simplify
the relocation creation code to be rela-only.

objtool: Improve reloc naming

2023-06-07T17:03:14+00:00

- The term "reloc" is overloaded to mean both "an instance of struct
  reloc" and "a reloc section".  Change the latter to "rsec".

- For variable names, use "sec" for regular sections and "rsec" for rela
  sections to prevent them getting mixed up.

- For struct reloc variables, use "reloc" instead of "rel" everywhere
  for consistency.
