illumos gate

While troubleshooting CTF conversion for large objects, I hit a problem with a shared library which has a large number of CUs. Having fixed the original memory utilisation via issue 13247, it still failed with a mmap() failure.

% ctfconvert -o /dev/null ~/ctf/pkgsrc.libicudata.so.67.1
ctfconvert: CTF conversion failed: Failed to mmap a needed data section

% truss -c  ctfconvert -o /dev/null ~/ctf/pkgsrc.libicudata.so.67.1
ctfconvert: CTF conversion failed: Failed to mmap a needed data section

syscall               seconds   calls  errors
mmap                   17.593   39667
munmap                  2.658   33698
mmap64                 10.247   34161       1

I temporarily switched in libumem and found a couple of leaks:

Total    5030 buffers, 45176472 bytes

They came from two places - ctf_update() and ctf_dwarf_convert_function()
This is just from converting the relatively small nginx binary.

Having fixed these, it is now possible to convert the original libicudata object, with much lower memory usage - prior to this and 13247, it was exceeding the 32-bit memory space.
