All programs in binutils+gdb git repo now support gABI compression
with the SHF_COMPRESSED bit. This patch makes the zlib-gabi option
as compression default for gas, gold, ld and objcopy, instead of the
zlib-gnu option whose outputs are incompatible with gABI.

Change compressed input debug section name for objdump is very confusing.
But we need to change it for linker so that linker will consider the

The linker tries to put the end of the last section in the relro
segment exactly on a page boundary, because the relro segment itself
must end on a page boundary. If for any reason this can't be done,
padding is inserted. Since the end of the relro segment is typically
between .got and .got.plt, padding effectively increases the size of
the GOT. This isn't nice for targets and code models with limited GOT
addressing.
The problem with the current code is that it doesn't cope very well
with aligned sections in the relro segment. When making .got aligned
to a 256 byte boundary for PowerPC64, I found that often the initial
alignment attempt failed and the fallback attempt to be less than
adequate. This is a particular problem for PowerPC64 since the
distance between .got and .plt affects the size of plt call stubs,
leading to "stubs don't match calculated size" errors.
So this rewrite takes a direct approach to calculating a new relro
base. Starting from the last section in the segment, we calculate
where it must start to position its end on the boundary, or as near as
possible considering alignment requirements. The new start then
becomes the goal for the previous section to end, and so on for all
sections. This of course ignores the possibility that user scripts
will place . = ALIGN(xxx); in the relro segment, or provide section
address expressions. In those cases we might fail, but the old code
probably did too, and a fallback is provided.

Address of protected data defined in the shared library may be external,
i.e., due to copy relocation. By default, linker backend checks if
relocations against protected data symbols are valid for building shared
library and issues an error if relocation isn't allowed. The new option
override linker backend default. When -z noextern-protected-data is used,
updates on protected data symbols by another module won't be visibile
to the resulting shared library. This option is specific to ELF/i386
and ELF/x86-64.

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.
Adjusting the start of the relro segment in order to make it end
exactly on a page boundary runs into difficulties when sections in the
relro segment are aligned; Adjusting the start by (next_page - end)
sometimes results in more than that adjustment occurring at the end,
overrunning the page boundary. So when that occurs we try a new lower
start position by masking the adjusted start with the maximum section
alignment. However, we didn't consider that this masked start address
may in fact be before the initial relro base, which is silly since
that can only increase padding at the relro end.
I've also moved some calculations closer to where they are used, and
comments closer to the relevant statements.

results in relro base adjustment being too large, don't go lower
than the initial value.

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

worse code.
