+/* This file is part of the vtable verification feature (for a
+ detailed description of the feature, see comments in
+ vtable-verify.c). The vtable verification feature creates
+ certain global symbols that need to be read-write sometimes during
+ program execution, and read-only at others. It uses 'mprotect' to
+ change the memory protections of the pages on which these variables
+ are stored. In order to not affect the protections of other
+ program variables, these variables are put into a special named
+ section, ".vtable_map_vars", which is page-aligned at the start,
+ and which is padded with a page-sized amount of zeros at the end.
+ To make this section page aligned, we create a special symbol,
+ "_vtable_map_vars_start" which we make the very first thing that
+ goes into the section. This file defines that symbol (and only
+ that symbol). GCC compiles this file into vtv_start.o, and
+ inserts vtv_start.o into the link line immediately after
+ crtbegin.o, if the program is compiled with -fvtable.verify.
+
+ In order to pad the ".vtable_map_vars" section with a page-sized
+ amount of zeros at the end, there is a second symbol,
+ _vtable_map_vars_end, which is defined in another file, vtv_end.c.
+ This second symbol is a page-sized array of chars, zero-filled, and
+ is the very last thing to go into the section. When the GCC driver
+ inserts vtv_start.o into the link line (just after crtbegin.o) it
+ also inserts vtv_end.o into the link line, just before crtend.o.
+ This has the desired effect of making our section page-aligned and
+ page-size paded, ensuring that no other program data lands on our
+ pages. */
