vasilito cb424d7448 build: static patch-sanity linter (shift-left the malformed-patch class)
verify-patch-sanity.py validates every active recipe .patch has internally-
consistent hunk line counts — catching the 'malformed patch at line N' failure
at commit/CI/preflight time instead of hours into a cook. This cycle hit that
class three times (qtwaylandscanner, sddm, xwayland), each only discovered when
cookbook tried to apply the patch.

Running it across the repo found 29 latent malformed patches (validated against
GNU patch: e.g. relibc/P3-sysv-ipc reproduces 'malformed patch at line 22').
They were harmless only because they sit in vendored recipes (baked, not re-
applied) — but would fail on any version-bump re-derivation. --fix recounts the
hunk headers (body untouched) and repaired all 29.

Wired into build-preflight.sh (Phase 1.0D) and redbear-ci.yml, with a unit test
(test-patch-sanity.sh). Skips archived/legacy trees and unvalidatable formats
(empty placeholders, bare-@@ git hunks).

llvm-dwarfutil - A tool to copy and manipulate debug info
=========================================================
.. program:: llvm-dwarfutil
SYNOPSIS
--------
:program:`llvm-dwarfutil` [*options*] *input* *output*
DESCRIPTION
-----------
:program:`llvm-dwarfutil` is a tool to copy and manipulate debug info.
In basic usage, it makes a semantic copy of the input to the output. If any
options are specified, the output may be modified along the way, e.g.
by removing unused debug info.
If "-" is specified for the input file, the input is read from the program's
standard input stream. If "-" is specified for the output file, the output
is written to the standard output stream of the program.
The tool is still in active development.
COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
--------------------
.. option:: --garbage-collection
Removes pieces of debug information related to discarded sections.
When the linker does section garbage collection the abandoned debug info
is left behind. Such abandoned debug info references address ranges using
tombstone values. Thus, when this option is specified, the tool removes
debug info which is marked with the tombstone value.
That option is enabled by default.
.. option:: --odr-deduplication
Remove duplicated types (if "One Definition Rule" is supported by source
language). Keeps first type definition and removes other definitions,
potentially significantly reducing the size of output debug info.
That option is enabled by default.
.. option:: --help, -h
Print a summary of command line options.
.. option:: --no-garbage-collection
Disable :option:`--garbage-collection`.
.. option:: --no-odr-deduplication
Disable :option:`--odr-deduplication`.
.. option:: --no-separate-debug-file
Disable :option:`--separate-debug-file`.
.. option:: --num-threads=<n>, -j
Specifies the maximum number (`n`) of simultaneous threads to use
for processing.
.. option:: --separate-debug-file
Generate separate file containing output debug info. Using
:program:`llvm-dwarfutil` with that option equals to the
following set of commands:
.. code-block:: console
:program:`llvm-objcopy` --only-keep-debug in-file out-file.debug
:program:`llvm-objcopy` --strip-debug in-file out-file
:program:`llvm-objcopy` --add-gnu-debuglink=out-file.debug out-file
.. option:: --tombstone=<value>
<value> can be one of the following values:
- `bfd`: zero for all addresses and [1,1] for DWARF v4 (or less) address ranges and exec.
- `maxpc`: -1 for all addresses and -2 for DWARF v4 (or less) address ranges.
- `universal`: both `bfd` and `maxpc`.
- `exec`: match with address ranges of executable sections.
The value `universal` is used by default.
.. option:: --verbose
Enable verbose logging. This option disables multi-thread mode.
.. option:: --verify
Run the DWARF verifier on the output DWARF debug info.
.. option:: --version
Print the version of this program.
SUPPORTED FORMATS
-----------------
The following formats are currently supported by :program:`llvm-dwarfutil`:
ELF
EXIT STATUS
-----------
:program:`llvm-dwarfutil` exits with a non-zero exit code if there is an error.
Otherwise, it exits with code 0.
