Adrian Hunter b2529f829a perf symbols: Add support for x86 .plt.sec
The section .plt.sec was originally added for MPX and was first called
.plt.bnd. While MPX has been deprecated, .plt.sec is now also used for
IBT.  On x86_64, IBT may be enabled by default, but can be switched off
using gcc option -fcf-protection=none, or switched on by -z ibt or -z
ibtplt. On 32-bit, option -z ibt or -z ibtplt will enable IBT.

With .plt.sec, calls are made into .plt.sec instead of .plt, so it makes
more sense to put the symbols there instead of .plt. A notable
difference is that .plt.sec does not have a header entry.

For x86, when synthesizing symbols for plt, use offset and entry size of
.plt.sec instead of .plt when there is a .plt.sec section.

Example on Ubuntu 22.04 gcc 11.3:

  Before:

    $ cat tstpltlib.c
    void fn1(void) {}
    void fn2(void) {}
    void fn3(void) {}
    void fn4(void) {}
    $ cat tstplt.c
    void fn1(void);
    void fn2(void);
    void fn3(void);
    void fn4(void);

    int main()
    {
            fn4();
            fn1();
            fn2();
            fn3();
            return 0;
    }
    $ gcc --version

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
