[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 XSA-followup for-4.8] libelf: fix symtab/strtab loading for 32bit domains

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Commit ed04ca introduced a bug in the symtab/strtab loading for 32bit
guests, that corrupted the section headers array due to the padding
introduced by the elf_shdr union.

The Elf section header array on 32bit should be accessible as an array of
Elf32_Shdr elements, and the union with Elf64_Shdr done in elf_shdr was
breaking this due to size differences between Elf32_Shdr and Elf64_Shdr.

Fix this by copying each section header one by one, and using the proper
size depending on the bitness of the guest kernel. While there, also fix
a couple of consistency issues, by making sure we always use the sizes of
our local versions of the ELF header and the ELF sections headers.

Should be backported to Xen 4.7 stable branch.

Changes since v5:
 - Fix rebase issues. It seems like a chunk of the patch was lost during the
   rebase to staging.

Changes since v4:
 - Fix consistency issues: make sure the sizes of our local copy of the ELF
   header and the ELF section headers are always used.

Changes since v3:
 - Move the definition of elf_sym_header into libelf-loader.c.

Changes since v2:
 - Use offsetof to correctly account for the memory used by the elf header.

Changes since v1:
 - No need to calculate shdr_size again, it's already fetched from the
   original elf header.
 - Remove shdr variable.
 - Use offsetof instead of subtracting two sizeofs.
 - Fix elf_parse_bsdsyms so that it takes into account the size of elf_ehdr
   instead of the size of the native elf header.
