It is not so useful to have symbol whitelists in arrays. With this
over-engineering, the code is difficult to follow.

Let's do it more directly, and collect the relevant code to one place.

only when 'fromsec' is data_sections.

If .fromsec is not data sections, the .symbol_white_list member is
not used by anyone.

This will be useful to define a NULL-terminated array inside a function
call.

Currently, string arrays passed to match() are defined in separate
places:

    static const char *const init_sections[] = { ALL_INIT_SECTIONS, NULL };
    static const char *const text_sections[] = { ALL_TEXT_SECTIONS, NULL };
    static const char *const optim_symbols[] = { "*.constprop.*", NULL };

            ...

            /* Check for pattern 5 */
            if (match(fromsec, text_sections) &amp;&amp;
                match(tosec, init_sections) &amp;&amp;
                match(fromsym, optim_symbols))
                    return 0;

With the new helper macro, you can list the patterns directly in the
function call, like this:

            /* Check for pattern 5 */
            if (match(fromsec, PATTERNS(ALL_TEXT_SECTIONS)) &amp;&amp;
                match(tosec, PATTERNS(ALL_INIT_SECTIONS)) &amp;&amp;
                match(fromsym, PATTERNS("*.contprop.*")))
                    return 0;

Each section mismatch results in long warning messages. Too much.

Make each warning fit in one line, and remove a lot of messy code.

This reverts commit 77ab21adae509c5540956729e2d03bc1a59bc82a.

Even after 8 years later, GCC LTO has not been upstreamed. Also, it said
"This is a workaround". If this is needed in the future, it should be
added in a proper way.

<title>modpost: use more reliable way to get fromsec in section_rel(a)()</title>

<id>5419aa2a8deea06b796222d3215dac6adc270c78</id>
<content type='text'>
The section name of Rel and Rela starts with ".rel" and ".rela"
respectively (but, I do not know whether this is specification or
convention).

For example, ".rela.text" holds relocation entries applied to the
".text" section.

So, the code chops the ".rel" or ".rela" prefix to get the name of
the section to which the relocation applies.

However, I do not like to skip 4 or 5 bytes blindly because it is
potential memory overrun.

The ELF specification provides a more reliable way to do this.

 - The sh_info field holds extra information, whose interpretation
   depends on the section type

 - If the section type is SHT_REL or SHT_RELA, the sh_info field holds
   the section header index of the section to which the relocation
   applies.

The section index is always positive, so the argument, secindex, should
be unsigned.

Also, inserted the array range check.

If sym-&gt;st_shndx is a special section index (between SHN_LORESERVE and
SHN_HIRESERVE), there is no corresponding section header.

For example, if a symbol specifies an absolute value, sym-&gt;st_shndx is
SHN_ABS (=0xfff1).

The current users do not cause the out-of-range access of
info-&gt;sechddrs[], but it is better to avoid such a pitfall.
