      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.  */
