[Xen-devel] [PATCH 08/20] livepatch-build: detect special section group sizes

[Pawel Wieczorkiewicz <wipawel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hard-coding the special section group sizes is unreliable. Instead,
determine them dynamically by finding the related struct definitions
in the DWARF metadata.

This is a livepatch backport of kpatch upstream commit [1]:
kpatch-build: detect special section group sizes 170449847136a48b19fc

Xen only deals with alt_instr, bug_frame and exception_table_entry
structures, so sizes of these structures are obtained from xen-syms.

This change is needed since with recent Xen the alt_instr structure
has changed size from 12 to 14 bytes.
