[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 4/4] livepach: Add .livepatch.hooks functions and test-case

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add hook functions which run during patch apply and patch revert.
Hook functions are used by livepatch payloads to manipulate data
structures during patching, etc.

One use case is the XSA91. As Martin mentions it:
"If we have shadow variables, we also need an unload hook to garbage
collect all the variables introduced by a hotpatch to prevent memory
leaks.  Potentially, we also want to pre-reserve memory for static or
existing dynamic objects in the load-hook instead of on the fly.

For testing and debugging, various applications are possible.

In general, the hooks provide flexibility when having to deal with
unforeseen cases, but their application should be rarely required (<
10%)."

Furthermore include a test-case for it.

v0.4..v0.11: Defered for v4.8
v0.12: s/xsplice/livepatch/

v3: Clarify the comments about spin_debug_enable
    Rename one of the hooks to lower-case (Z->z) to guarantee it being
    called last.
    Learned a lot of about 'const'
v4: Do the actual const of the hooks.
    Remove the requirement for the tests-case hooks to be sorted
    (they never were to start with).
    Fix up the comment about spin_debug_enable so more.
v5: Added Reviewed-by from Andrew.
    Removed some of the hooks test-cases as the .bss is only cleared during 
loading.
    Dropped Reviewed-by from Andrew as the test-case changed.
