as compression default for gas, gold, ld and objcopy, instead of the

Some early revisions of the Cortex-A53 have an erratum (843419). The
details of the erratum are quite complex and involve dynamic
conditions. For the purposes of the workaround we have simplified the
static conditions to an ADRP in the last two instructions of a 4KByte
page, followed within four instructions by a load/store dependent on
the ADRP.
This patch adds support to conservatively scan for and workaround
Cortex A53 erratum 843419. There are two different workaround
strategies used. The first is to rewrite ADRP instructions which form
part of an erratum sequence with an ADR instruction. In situations
where the ADR provides insufficient offset the dependent load or store
instruction from the sequence is moved to a stub section and branches
are inserted from the original sequence to the relocated instruction
and back again.
Stub section sizes are rounded up to a multiple of 4096 in order to
ensure that the act of inserting work around stubs does not create
more errata sequences.
Workaround stubs are always inserted into the stub section associated
with the input section containing the erratum sequence. This ensures
that the fully relocated form of the veneered load store instruction
is available at the point in time when the stub section is written.
Older compilers that warn wrongly will just need -Wno-error. No way
am I going to init every single field, then have to edit this code
whenever bfd_link_hash_entry changes. Another option, making the
struct static, isn't very nice since it means larger binaries and
worse code.

If no object files have .eh_frame, but some shared library does, then
ld creates a .eh_frame_hdr section using the shared library bfd. This
is silly since shared library .eh_frame sections don't contribute to
the output .eh_frame and thus no .eh_frame_hdr is needed.
Also, the bfd section list and count is cleared for shared libraries,
and a zero section count used as a flag in lang_check to omit a call
to bfd_merge_private_bfd_data for shared libraries. If we create a
section on a shared lib bfd then ld will wrongly attempt to merge the
shared library private bfd data.

Similarly for build-id loop.
The AVR target has an elf header flag to indicate if an object was
assembler ready for linker relaxation. If a partial link is performed
then it is important that the link-relax flag in the output object is
set correctly, otherwise, during the final link, we might try to perform
linker relaxation on code that was not assembled suitably.
As the link-relax elf header covers the entire object file we must be
conservative when setting the flag in the output object, so, for a
partial link, any input object that does not have the link-relax flag
set will cause the output object to also not have the link-relax flag
set.
This conservative approach could be softened in future, we only need to
disable the link relax flag if an input file is not marked link-relax
ready, and the input file contains a relaxable section. However, I've
left this optimisation for a later day.
For the final link I've overloaded the use of the link-relax elf header
flag, in a final executable, the flag now indicates if the executable
was built with linker relaxation on or not.

Refactor each relaxation pattern to raise the maintainability.
In origin, all patterns is analysed in nds32_elf_relax_section,
so it is hard to debug and maintain. Therefore, we classify all
patterns into different functions in this patch.
Moreover, we adjust all optimizations into nds32_elf_relax_section
to take these optimizations in turn. This can promise all relaxation
being done after calling gld${EMULATION_NAME}_after_allocation.
The section name used to store the build-id on pe/coff is arbitrary, as it's
contents should be located using the pe/coff header's DataDirectory debug data
entry, not by using the section name.
But '.build-id' is not a good choice for that section name, as it is 9
characters long, and hence truncated to 8 characters when
--disable-long-section-names is used (which is the default, when producing an
executable with no dwarf debug sections, e.g. using ld --strip-all --build-id)
This truncation then breaks 'objcopy --only-keep-debug', which does use the
section name, due to concerns that keeping an arbitrary section which contains
the debug directory is not sensible.

I noticed recently that .eh_frame FDEs generated by the linker for
call stubs and .glink weren't being indexed in .eh_frame_hdr, due to
bfd_elf_discard_info being run before the linker generated .eh_frame
sections were available for parsing. This patch moves code around in
elf64-ppc.c and ppc64elf.em to avoid that problem.
Another problem fixed here is that --gc-sections parses .eh_frame
early, and the existing machinery allows only one go at parsing the
.eh_frame sections. That resulted in the linker generated .eh_frame
CIEs not being merged and no .eh_frame_hdr index entries for those
FDEs. It turns out that all the info from parsing .eh_frame is
attached to the section, so order of parsing isn't important, and
after parsing sec_info_type being set will prevent a section being
parsed again. At least, when parsing doesn't hit an error. So there
isn't really any need for "parsed_eh_frame". "merge_cies" is also
redundant, which means _bfd_elf_{begin,end}_eh_frame_parsing can also
disappear.

is_inconsistent_linkonce_section makes an assumption that section name
that starts with ".gnu.linkonce.prop." has one more dot in its suffix.
However gas generates such section name by insertion of "prop." right
after ".gnu.linkonce." part of the name of the original section. So, for
section named ".gnu.linkonce.this_module" corresponding property section
name does not satisfy the assumption. Such section names are common in
linux modules. This bug was exposed by the patch "a35d5e8 Fix alignment
for the first section frag on xtensa", that makes gas produce property
section for each section that has ".align" directive in it.

inserted. This is for compatibility with other, non-GNU tools. Deterministic

option.

1) _SDA_BASE_ and _SDA2_BASE_ and defined automatically, in a similar
manner to the way _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is handled. It's a little
more complicated to remove the symbols because _SDA_BASE_ needs to
be there if either .sdata or .sbss is present, and similarly for
_SDA2_BASE.
2) The linker created .sdata and .sdata2 sections used for
R_PPC_EMB_SDAI16 and R_PPC_EMB_SDA2I16 pointers are created early.
Nowadays we strip unneeded sections from the output, so it isn't
necessary to delay creating the sections.
3) The output section for targets of various SDA relocs is now checked
as per the ABI(s). We previously allowed .sdata.foo and similar,
most likely because at some stage we were checking input sections.
Also, the patch fixes a long-standing bug in size_input_sections
that affects the values of symbols defined in stripped input
sections.

I got the ppc476 workaround wrong. bctr (and bctrl) as the last
instruction in a page can hit the icache bug if the preceding mtctr
insn is close by, and the destination is in the first few instructions
on the next page. This scenario can occur with code generated by gcc
to implement switch statements, or in code generated to call by
function pointer.
To prevent the bctr problem it is also necessary to remove other
instructions that otherwise would be safe.

of safe ppc476 insns at end of page. Also remove non-branch insns.

would not honour the [no]execstack. Fully linked binaries use a special segment to indicate the
state of the stack, but relocatable object files only have sections, and .note.GNU-stack was not
being created.
