Mathieu Desnoyers b2e3e658b3 Linux Kernel Markers: create modpost file
This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS.  Analogous
to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file
when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set.  This file lists the name, defining module, and
format string of each marker, separated by \t characters.  This simple text
file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code,
analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for
kernels other than the one you are running right now.

The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define
the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the
__markers_strings section.  This is straightforward and reliable as long as
the marker structs are always defined by this macro.  It is an unreasonable
amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section
structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the
sun.
