Description

MF11 r361088:

Merge changes that enable DTrace-using ports to link correctly with lld
10, avoiding "unknown relocation 8" and other errors.

MFC r312658 (by markj):

Remove the DTRACEHIOC_ADD ioctl.

This ioctl has been considered legacy by upstream since the DTrace code
was first imported, and is unused. The removal also allows some
simplification of dtrace_helper_slurp().

Also remove a bogus copyout in the DTRACEHIOC_ADDDOF handler. Due to a
bug, it would overwrite an in-memory copy of the DOF header rather than
the passed-in DOF helper. Moreover, DTRACEHIOC_ADDDOF already copies the
helper back out automatically since its argument has the IOC_OUT attribute.

MFC r313262 (by markj):

Use PC-relative relocations for USDT probe sites on i386 and amd64.

When recording probe site addresses in the output DOF file, dtrace -G
needs to emit relocations for the .SUNW_dof section in order to obtain
the addresses of functions containing probe sites. DTrace expects the
addresses to be relative to the base address of the final ELF file,
and the amd64 USDT implementation was relying on some unspecified and
incorrect behaviour in the base system GNU ld to achieve this.

This change reimplements the probe site relocation handling to allow
USDT to be used with lld and newer GNU binutils. Specifically, it
makes use of R_X86_64_PC64/R_386_PC32 relocations to obtain the
probe site address relative to the DOF file address, and adds and uses a
new DOF relocation type which computes the final probe site address using
these relative offsets.
