Subject: [PATCH v10 11/11] [DO NOT APPLY]unwind_user/sframe: Add prctl() interface for registering .sframe
 sections

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@...nel.org>

The kernel doesn't have direct visibility to the ELF contents of shared
libraries.  Add some prctl() interfaces which allow glibc to tell the
kernel where to find .sframe sections.

[
  This adds an interface for prctl() for testing loading of sframes for
  libraries. But this interface should really be a system call. This patch
  is for testing purposes only and should not be applied to mainline.
]
