/* objmanip performs various object file manipulations for Ksplice.  Its first
 * argument is always an object file, which is modified in-place during
 * objmanip's execution.  (objmanip's code is similar to objcopy from GNU
 * binutils because every manipulation that objmanip performs is essentially a
 * "copy" operation with certain changes which make the new version different
 * from the old version).  objmanip has four modes of operation:
 *
 * (1) keep mode
 *
 * This mode is the first objmanip step in processing the target object files.
 *
 * This mode can be broken down into two submodes, called "keep-primary" (which
 * is used to prepare the primary kernel module) and "keep-helper" (which is
 * used to prepare the helper kernel module):
 *
 * (a) keep-primary: "objmanip file.o keep-primary ADDSTR sect_1 ... sect_n"
 *
 * In this submode, only certain sections are kept; all other sections are
 * discarded.  Specifically, the following sections are kept: the listed
 * sections (sect_1 ... sect_n), certain sections referenced by the listed
 * sections, and certain special sections.  The sections that are kept have
 * ADDSTR added to the end of their names.
 *
 * The sections that are kept have most of their ELF relocations removed.
 * (Relocations that point to sections that are being kept are not removed; all
 * other relocations are removed).  Information about each of the removed ELF
 * relocations is printed to STDOUT (ksplice-create will save this information
 * into Ksplice-specific ELF sections for the primary kernel module to use
 * later).
 *
 * Each line of the STDOUT output represents a single place within the ELF
 * object file at which a relocation has been removed.  Each line contains the
 * following fields, separated by spaces: an ELF symbol name, the name of a
 * section previously containing a relocation pointing to that symbol, the
 * offset (within that section) of the former relocation to that symbol, a bit
 * representing whether that ELF relocation is PC-relative, and the ELF addend
 * value for that relocation.
 *
 * (b) keep-helper: "objmanip file.o keep-helper ADDSTR"
 *
 * In this submode, essentially all sections are kept and have ADDSTR added to
 * the end of their names.
 *
 * The sections that are kept have all of their ELF relocations removed.
 * Information about each of the removed ELF relocations is printed to STDOUT
 * (ksplice-create will save this information into Ksplice-specific ELF
 * sections for the helper kernel module to use later).
 *
 * The fields of the STDOUT output are the same as with keep-primary.
 *
 * (2) globalize mode: "objmanip file.o globalize GLOBALIZESTR"
 *
 * This mode is the second objmanip step in processing the target object files.
 * In this mode, all symbols whose names end in GLOBALIZESTR will be
 * duplicated, with the duplicate symbols differing slightly from the original
 * symbols.  The duplicate symbols will have the string "_global" added to the
 * end of their symbol names, and they will be global ELF symbols, regardless
 * of whether the corresponding original symbol was global.
 *
 * (3) sizelist mode: "objmanip file.o sizelist"
 *
 * After the target object files have been linked into a single collection
 * object file, this mode is used in order to obtain a list of all of the
 * functions in the collection object file.  Each line of the STDOUT output
 * contains an ELF section name and that section's size, as presented by BFD's
 * bfd_print_symbol function.
 *
 * (4) rmsyms mode: "objmanip file.o rmsyms sym_1 ... sym_n"
 *
 * This mode is the final objmanip step in preparing the Ksplice kernel
 * modules.  In this mode, any ELF relocations involving the listed symbols
 * (sym_1 ...  sym_n) are removed, and information about each of the removed
 * relocations is printed to STDOUT.
 *
 * The fields of the STDOUT output are the same as with keep-primary.
