This is quite complicated because the CTF section's contents depend on
the final contents of the symtab and strtab, because it has two sections
whose contents are shuffled to be in 1:1 correspondence with the symtab,
and an internal strtab that gets deduplicated against the ELF strtab
(with offsets adjusted to point into the ELF strtab instead). It is
also compressed if large enough, so its size depends on its contents!
So we cannot construct it as early as most sections: we cannot even
*begin* construction until after the symtab and strtab are finalized.
Thankfully there is already one section treated similarly: compressed
debugging sections: the only differences are that compressed debugging
sections have extra handling to deal with their changing name if
compressed (CTF sections are always called ".ctf" for now, though we
have reserved ".ctf.*" against future use), and that compressed
debugging sections have previously-uncompressed content which has to be
stashed away for later compression, while CTF sections have no content
at all until we generate it (very late).
BFD also cannot do the link itself: libctf knows how to do it, and BFD
cannot call libctf directly because libctf already depends on bfd for
file I/O. So we have to use a pair of callbacks, one, examine_strtab,
which allows a caller to examine the symtab and strtab after
finalization (called from elf_link_swap_symbols_out(), right before the
symtabs are written, and after the strtab has been finalized), and one
which actually does the emission (called emit_ctf simply because it is
grouped with a bunch of section-specific late-emission function calls at
the bottom of bfd_elf_final_link, and a section-specific name seems best
for that). emit_ctf is actually called *twice*: once from lang_process
if the emulation suggests that this bfd target does not examine the
symtab or strtab, and once via a bfd callback if it does. (This means
that non-ELF targets still get CTF emitted, even though the late CTF
emission stage is never called for them).
v2: merged with non-ELF support patch: slight commit message
adjustments.
v3: do not spend time merging CTF, or crash, if the CTF section is
explicitly discarded. Do not try to merge or compress CTF unless
linking.
v4: add CTF_COMPRESSION_THRESHOLD. Annul the freed input ctf_file_t's
after writeout: set SEC_IN_MEMORY on the output contents so a future
bfd enhancement knows it could free it. Add SEC_LINKER_CREATED |
SEC_KEEP to avoid having to add .ctf to the linker script. Drop
now-unnecessary ldlang.h-level elf-bfd.h include and hackery around
it. Adapt to elf32.em->elf.em and elf-generic.em->ldelf*.c
changes.
v5: fix tabdamage. Drop #inclusions in .h files: include in .c files,
.em files, and use struct forwards instead. Use bfd_section_is_ctf
inline function rather than SECTION_IS_CTF macro. Move a few

Similarly to commit 174d0a74a2 ("PowerPC/BFD: Convert `%P: %H:' to

use `%H:' rather `%P: %H:', removing inconsistent message composition
like:
$ cat reloc-j.s

.globl foo
.ent foo
foo:
j bar
j bar

$ cat reloc-j.ld

/DISCARD/ : { *(*) }
}
$ as -o reloc-j.o reloc-j.s
$ ld -T reloc-j.ld -o reloc-j reloc-j.o
ld: tmpdir/reloc-j.o: in function `foo':
(.text+0x0): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `bar'
ld: (.text+0x8): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `bar'
$
where subsequent lines referring to issues within a single function have
the name of the linker executable prepended, but the first one does not.
As noted with the commit referred this breaks a GNU Coding Standard's
requirement that error messages from compilers should look like this:
source-file-name:lineno: message
also quoted in `vfinfo' code handling these specifiers.
Remove the linker name prefix then, making the messages now look like:
$ ld -T reloc-j.ld -o reloc-j reloc-j.o
tmpdir/reloc-j.o: in function `foo':
(.text+0x0): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `bar'

The idea of this change is to make -t output useful for users wanting

Prepending '/' to absolute paths doesn't gain us much, and results in
the current implementation of --trace emitting silly path-in-sysroot

This patch performs a run-time test that a shared libbfd.so has been
compiled with the same size bfd_vma as that of apps using the library.
On a 32-bit host it is easily possible to have one libbfd.so compiled
to support 64-bit targets (or configured with --enable-64-bit-bfd)
while another only supports 32-bit targets. The two libraries will
have differently sized bfd_vma types, and if the wrong one is loaded
all sorts of weird behaviour might be seen.

max-page-size only matters for demand paged executables or shared
libraries, and the ideal size is the largest value used by your
operating system. Values larger than necessary just waste file space
and memory. common-page-size also affects file and memory size,
trading a possible small increase in file size for a decrease in
memory size when the operating system is using a common-page-size
page. With a powerpc max-page-size of 64k and common-page-size of 4k
many executables will use no more memory pages when the system page
size is 4k than an executable linked with -z max-page-size=0x1000,
yet will still run on a system using 64k pages. However, when running
on a system using 64k pages relro protection will not be completely
effective.
Due to the relro problem, powerpc binutils has been using a default
common-page-size of 64k since 2014-12-18 (git commit 04c6a44c7),
leading to complaints about increased file and memory sizes. People
not using relro do have a valid reason to complain..
So this patch introduces an extra back-end value to use as the default
for common-page-size when generating relro executables, and enables
the support for powerpc. Non relro executables will now be generated
with a default common-page-size of 4k.

When --no-define-common is used to build shared library, treat common
symbol as undefined so that common symbols that are referenced from a
shared library to be assigned addresses only in the main program. This
eliminates the unused duplicate space in the shared library, and also
prevents any possible confusion over resolving to the wrong duplicate
when there are many dynamic modules with specialized search paths for
runtime symbol resolution.
--no-define-common is only allowed when building a shared library.

This commit adds a new linker feature: the ability to resolve section
groups as part of a relocatable link.
Currently section groups are automatically resolved when performing a
final link, and are carried through when performing a relocatable link.
By carried through this means that one copy of each section group (from
all the copies that might be found in all the input files) is placed
into the output file. Sections that are part of a section group will
not match input section specifiers within a linker script and are
forcibly kept as separate sections.
There is a slight resemblance between section groups and common
section. Like section groups, common sections are carried through when
performing a relocatable link, and resolved (allocated actual space)
only at final link time.
However, with common sections there is an ability to force the linker to
allocate space for the common sections when performing a relocatable
link, there's currently no such ability for section groups.
This commit adds such a mechanism. This new facility can be accessed in
two ways, first there's a command line switch --force-group-allocation,
second, there's a new linker script command FORCE_GROUP_ALLOCATION. If
one of these is used when performing a relocatable link then the linker
will resolve the section groups as though it were performing a final
link, the section group will be deleted, and the members of the group
will be placed like normal input sections. If there are multiple copies
of the group (from multiple input files) then only one copy of the group
members will be placed, the duplicate copies will be discarded.
Unlike common sections that have the --no-define-common command line
flag, and INHIBIT_COMMON_ALLOCATION linker script command there is no
way to prevent group resolution during a final link, this is because the
ELF gABI specifically prohibits the presence of SHT_GROUP sections in a
fully linked executable. However, the code as written should make
adding such a feature trivial, setting the new resolve_section_groups
flag to false during a final link should work as you'd expect.

LTO plugin support in plugin_maybe_claim wants to close the IR bfd
after replacing it with the recompiled object, but can't do so for
archive elements due to various pointers that access the archive bfd.
Thin archives have the same problem. They too cannot have their
element bfds closed.

During archive rescan to resolve symbol references for files added by
LTO, linker add_archive_element callback is called to check if an
archive element should added. After all IR symbols have been claimed,
linker won't claim new IR symbols and shouldn't add the LTO archive
element. This patch updates linker add_archive_element callback to
return FALSE when seeing an LTO archive element during rescan and
changes ELF linker to skip such archive element.

This fixes two problems. First, the --sysroot option wasn't available
with a ld configured without --with-sysroot, a historical accident.
This led to people configuring binutils with --with-sysroot=/ in order
to enable sysroot support, which exposes a case where ld wrongly
prepends the sysroot to a relative path.

This patch adds --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi]
to ld for ELF targets to support generating compressed DWARF debug
sections. We always generate .zdebug_* section since section names have
been finalized and they can't be changed easily when compression is
being performed.

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.
