If a symbol is defined with ".symver foo,foo@VER", the assembler
creates two symbols in the object: one unversioned, and one with
the (non-default) version "VER". If foo is listed in a version
script, gold would then make the first of those symbols the
default version, and would ignore the second symbol as a
duplicate, without making it a non-default version. While this is
arguably reasonable behavior, it doesn't match Gnu ld behavior,
so this patch fixes that by allowing the second definition to
override the first by resetting the "default version" indication.
Several test cases from the Gnu ld testsuite also exposed another
related problem, where a symbol defined with ".symver foo,foo@",
placed into a shared library, is not handled properly by gold.
This patch also fixes that case, binding the symbol to the base
version.

In PR 15370, it is noted that gold does not distinguish between
"*(.foo .bar)" and "*(.foo) *(.bar)" in linker scripts. In both
cases, gold groups all .foo sections together, followed by all
.bar sections, whereas in the first case, it should collect all
.foo and .bar sections in the order seen.
If you add sort specs, the Gnu linker has some bizarre corner
cases that I do not try to replicate. In particular,
"*(SORT_BY_NAME(.foo) SORT_BY_NAME(.bar))" does the same thing
as "*(.foo) *(.bar)". But if you apply a sort spec
to just one of several patterns, say, "*(SORT_BY_NAME(.foo) .bar)",
the Gnu linker will collect any .bar section it sees before the
first .foo, then all .foo sections, then all remaining .bar
sections. With this patch, if any of the input patterns have a
sort spec, gold will group them all as it did before; e.g.,
all .foo sections followed by all .bar sections.

When --build-id=tree is selected, gold would schedule a set of
tasks to run to compute md5 hashes in parallel on chunks of the
file. The scheduling was done before the
Write_after_input_sections_task ran, so if we are compressing
debug sections, the output file will change size and be remapped
to a new address, sometimes causing the build id computation to
crash, but even when it doesn't crash, it wouldn't include the
debug information in the hash computation.
This patch delays the scheduling of the md5 tasks until after
Write_after_input_sections_task.

In PR 13577, the complaint was that -Bsymbolic was overriding the binding
behavior for symbols listed in the --dynamic-list by setting the DT_SYMBOLIC
tag in the dynamic table. In reading the Gnu ld manual, I decided that
--dynamic-list should be mutually exclusive of -Bsymbolic, and modified
gold so that --dynamic-list would treat symbols listed as preemptible,
and all other symbols as internally bound. I was wrong.
PR 16992 shows that with --dynamic-list (and not -Bsymbolic), a symbol
not listed in the dynamic list is being internally bound within the
shared library, but because it's still in the dynamic symbol table, we
expose it to a COPY relocation, and things go really bad from there.
(I can reproduce the same failure, simply by turning on -Bsymbolic-functions
with the Gnu linker. Even though the symbol is bound internally, it's
still exported to the dynamic symbol table, and is exposed to a COPY
relocation.)
I've backed out part of the fix for PR 13577, and -Bsymbolic (or
-Bsymbolic-functions) can now be used with --dynamic-list, but if the
two are used together, we do not set DT_SYMBOLIC or DF_SYMBOLIC
(this matches Gnu ld behavior). We now treat symbols listed in the
dynamic list as premptible, but we do not automatically treat symbols
not listed there as non-premptible.

to access a global as it expects a GOTPCREL relocation. This is really not
necessary as the linker could use a copy relocation to get around it. This
patch enables copy relocations with pie.
Context:
This is useful because currently the GCC compiler with option -fpie makes
every extern global access go through the GOT. That is because the compiler
cannot tell if a global will end up being defined in the executable or not
and is conservative. This ends up hurting performance when the binary is linked
as mostly static where most of the globals do end up being defined in the
executable. By allowing copy relocs with fPIE, the compiler need not generate
a GOTPCREL(GOT access) for any global access. It can safely assume that all
globals will be defined in the executable and generate a PC-relative access
instead. Gold can then create a copy reloc for only the undefined globals.

GCC 4.8 now adds linker plugin options by default, which conflict with the
--incremental tests in the testsuite. This patch checks whether the compiler
supports the -fno-use-linker-plugin option, and adds it to all link
commands.

When the linker has a weak undefined symbol, it normally does not
select an archive library member just to satisfy the reference.
If the same symbol is also listed in a -u option, however, we
should select the archive library member. This patch reorders
the code in Library_base::should_include_member so that the
additional checks are performed in the case of a weak undef.

PR gold/13577 complains that even though symbols listed in
the --dynamic-list script are exported, they are still bound symbolically
if -Bsymbolic is also used. There are two underlying problems here.
First, -Bsymbolic should be overridden by --dynamic-list, since the
dynamic list provides an explicit list of symbols that are not bound
within the library, and if we go ahead and set DT_SYMBOLIC, then the
dynamic loader will bind it within the library anyway. Second, gold
did not properly identify the symbols listed in the file as preemptible.
PR gold/16530 complains that symbols listed in the --dynamic-list script
can still be garbage collected. I've fixed this by checking the symbols
as they're added to the symbol table. (Unlike the --export-dynamic-symbol
option, we can't iterate over the list, because the --dynamic-list script
can have wildcards in it.)

This patch adds support for .gdb_index version 7, which adds several
flag bits to the symbol index. It also fixes a problem where it did
not handle compressed debug sections correctly.
Tested with a google/gcc-4_8 branch compiler, which supports
the -ggnu-pubnames option to generate .debug_gnu_pubnames/pubtypes
tables. (We will submit that patch to GCC when stage 1 reopens.)
