/*
* Helper macros to generate ELF Note structures, which are put into a
* PT_NOTE segment of the final vmlinux image. These are useful for
* including name-value pairs of metadata into the kernel binary (or
* modules?) for use by external programs.
*
* Each note has three parts: a name, a type and a desc. The name is
* intended to distinguish the note's originator, so it would be a
* company, project, subsystem, etc; it must be in a suitable form for
* use in a section name. The type is an integer which is used to tag
* the data, and is considered to be within the "name" namespace (so
* "FooCo"'s type 42 is distinct from "BarProj"'s type 42). The
* "desc" field is the actual data. There are no constraints on the
* desc field's contents, though typically they're fairly small.
*
* All notes from a given NAME are put into a section named
* .note.NAME. When the kernel image is finally linked, all the notes
* are packed into a single .notes section, which is mapped into the
* PT_NOTE segment. Because notes for a given name are grouped into
* the same section, they'll all be adjacent the output file.
*
* This file defines macros for both C and assembler use. Their
* syntax is slightly different, but they're semantically similar.
*
* See the ELF specification for more detail about ELF notes.

* Generate a structure with the same shape as Elf{32,64}_Nhdr (which
* turn out to be the same size and shape), followed by the name and
* desc data with appropriate padding. The 'desctype' argument is the
* assembler pseudo op defining the type of the data e.g. .asciz while
* 'descdata' is the data itself e.g. "hello, world".
*
* e.g. ELFNOTE(XYZCo, 42, .asciz, "forty-two")
