This patch set introduce the GCC plugin infrastructure with examples for testing and documentation. GCC plugins are loadable modules that provide extra features to the compiler. They are useful for runtime instrumentation and static analysis. The infrastructure supports all gcc versions from 4.5 to 6.0, building out-of-tree modules and building in a separate directory. Cross-compilation is supported too but currently only the x86, arm and arm64 architectures enables plugins. This infrastructure was ported from grsecurity/PaX. It is a CII project supported by the Linux Foundation.

I've tested the v6 patches on arm, and partially on arm64. The arm64 gcc has a bug in make install that doesn't install all necessary headers to build plugins. I believe the patch will work once that version gets out. It does, however, print a helpful message now explaining the likely cause of the failure.
