libdw, readelf: Read inlining info in NVIDIA extended line map
As of CUDA 11.2, NVIDIA added extensions to the line map section of CUDA binaries to represent inlined functions. These extensions include - two new fields in a line table row to represent inline information: context, and functionname, - two new DWARF extended opcodes: DW_LNE_NVIDIA_inlined_call, DW_LNE_NVIDIA_set_function_name, - an additional word in the line table header that indicates the offset in the .debug_str function where the function names for this line table begin, and A line table row for an inlined function contains a non-zero "context" value. The “context” field indicates the index of the line table row that serves as the call site for an inlined context. The "functionname" field in a line table row is only meaningful if the "context" field of the row is non-zero. A meaningful "functionname" field contains an index into the .debug_str section relative to the base offset established in the line table header; the position in the .debug_str section indicates the name of the inlined function. These extensions resemble the proposed DWARF extensions (http://dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=140906.1) by Cary Coutant, but are not identical. This commit integrates support for handling NVIDIA's extended line maps into elfutil's libdw library, by adding two functions dwarf_linecontext and dwarf_linefunctionname, and the readelf --debug-dump=line command line utility.
