Up until now, to create our header record (pair), we reused struct
_ddebug(|_sites), initializing the pair with "impossible" field values
(for a pr_debug() site), which makes it recognizable as a header not a
pr-debug callsite.
Now we want to specialize the header; differentiate it from its model,
then we can drop _ddebug.site, and use header.site indirectly.
This commit has several elements combining:
Update DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE by replacing "struct _ddebug*" with
"union _ddebug*_header". This change places the new object types into
our 2 elf sections.
our 2 new union types have 2 jobs:
a.fit properly in the section/array. We do this by putting the struct
inside the union, making the unions the same size as their contained
structs. This was sufficient to fix a data-misalignment crash on
2nd loop (ie 1st record after header) in _init.
b.unions need the same field defns as their models, as refd in:
DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE() - inits
is_dyndbg_header_pair(i,s) - validates that init
use anonymous struct.
RFC: My "anonymous union/struct fu" feels incomplete. The struct in b
must contain all the fields of its outer union's own contained struct,
maybe even in the same order (tho not obvious yet).
