Dodji Seketeli 08e760221b Support Linux Kernel ABI whitelist files
Enterprise Linux (at least) kernels come with ABI whitelist files that list the
names of the set of functions to be considered when looking at the ABI
exposed by the kernel to its modules.

This patch adds a new --linux-kernel-abi-whitelist option to abidiff
so that it drops changes that relate to functions that are *NOT*
defined in the whitelist.

The patch reads the whitelist file and generates one or several
instances of function_suppression that are applied when the two
binaries are loaded.

	* include/abg-suppression.h
	(function_suppression::function_suppression): Make the declaration
	of the default constructor public.
	* src/abg-suppression-priv.h (function_suppression::priv::priv):
	Declare a default constructor.
	* src/abg-suppression.cc
	(function_suppression::function_suppression): Define default
	constructor.
	* include/abg-tools-utils.h
	(gen_suppr_spec_from_kernel_abi_whitelist): Declare new function.
	* src/abg-tools-utils.cc
	(gen_suppr_spec_from_kernel_abi_whitelist): Define new function.
	* tools/abidiff.cc (options::kernel_abi_whitelist_paths):
	(display_usage): Display a help string for the new
	--linux-kernel-abi-whitelist option.
	(parse_command_line): Parse the --linux-kernel-abi-whitelist from
	the command line.
	(maybe_check_suppression_files): Check the presence of the kernel
	abi whitelist files.
	(set_suppressions): Generate suppression specifications from the
	whitelist files.

This is the Application Binary Interface Generic Analysis and
Instrumentation Library.

It aims at constructing, manipulating, serializing and de-serializing
ABI-relevant artifacts.

The set of artifacts that we are intersted is made of quantities like
types, variable, fonctions and declarations of a given library or
program.  For a given library or program this set of quantities is
called an ABI corpus.

This library aims at (among other things) providing a way to compare
two ABI Corpora (apparently the plural of corpus is copora, heh,
that's cool), provide detailed information about their differences,
and help build tools to infer interesting conclusions about these
differences.
