sMVX: Multi-Variant Execution on Selected Code Paths

The duplicated execution context project. Duplicate the execution for selected code area (A lightweight MVX approach). It aims to Selective Program Duplication and Differential Execution.

Build sMVX

$ make                     
rm -rf obj libmonitor.so liblmvx.so
mkdir -p obj/lib
 [CC]		obj/libmonitor.o
 [CC]		obj/monitor_overrides.o
 [CC]		obj/pkey.o
 [CC]		obj/syscall_blocking.o
 [CC]		obj/loader.o
 [CC]		obj/lmvx.o
 [CC]		obj/trampoline.o
Generate libmonitor.so:
 [CC+LD]	libmonitor.so

 [CC]		obj/lib/liblmvx.o
Generate liblmvx.so:
 [CC+LD]	liblmvx.so

Run simple test cases
