From: Andrey Ryabinin <a.ryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kernel: add support for .init_array.* constructors
KASan uses constructors for initializing redzones for global variables.
Globals instrumentation in GCC 4.9.2 produces constructors with priority
(.init_array.00099)
Currently kernel ignores such constructors. Only constructors with
default priority supported (.init_array)
This patch adds support for constructors with priorities. For kernel
image we put pointers to constructors between __ctors_start/__ctors_end
and do_ctors() will call them on start up. For modules we merge
.init_array.* sections into resulting .init_array. Module code properly
handles constructors in .init_array section.
