Nelson Chu abd20cb637 RISC-V: Relax PCREL to GPREL while doing other relaxations is dangerous.
I get the feedback recently that enable linker relaxations may fail to
build some program.  Consider the following case,

	.text
foo:
	addi	a0, a0, %pcrel_lo(.L2)
	call	foo
.L1:	auipc	a1, %pcrel_hi(data_g)
	addi	a1, a1, %pcrel_lo(.L1)
	lui	a2, %hi(data_g)
	addi	a2, a2, %lo(data_g)
	lui	a3, %tprel_hi(data_t)
	add	a3, a3, tp, %tprel_add(data_t)
	addi	a3, a3, %tprel_lo(data_t)
.L2:	auipc	a0, %pcrel_hi(data_g)

	.data
	.word 0x0
	.global data_g
data_g:	.word 0x1

	.section .tbss
data_t:	.word 0x0

The current ld reports `dangerous relocation error` when doing the
pcgp relaxation,
test.o: in function `foo':
(.text+0x0): dangerous relocation: %pcrel_lo missing matching %pcrel_hi

The .L2 auipc should not be removed since it is behind the corresponding
addi, so we record the information in the pcgp_relocs table to avoid
removing the auipc later.  But current ld still remove it since we do not
update the pcgp_relocs table while doing other relaxations.  I have two
solutions to fix the problem,

1. Update the pcgp_relocs table once we actually delete the code.
2. Add new relax pass to do the pcgp relaxations

At first I tried to do the first solution, and we need to update at
least three information - hi_sec_off of riscv_pcgp_lo_reloc, hi_sec_off
and hi_addr (symbol value) of riscv_pcgp_hi_reloc.  Update the hi_sec_off
is simple, but it is more complicate to update the symbol value, since we
almost have to do parts the same works of _bfd_riscv_relax_call again in
the riscv_relax_delete_bytes to get the correct symbol value.

Compared with the first solution, the second one is more intuitive and
simple.  We add a new relax pass to do the pcgp relaxations later, so
we will get all the information correctly in the _bfd_riscv_relax_call,
including the symbol value, without changing so much code.  I do not see
any penalty by adding a new relax pass for now, so it should be fine
to delay the pcgp relaxations.

Besides, I have pass all riscv-gnu-toolchain regressions for this patch.

	bfd/
	* elfnn-riscv.c (_bfd_riscv_relax_section):  Add a new relax pass
	to do the pcgp relaxation later, after the lui and call relaxations,
	but before the delete and alignment relaxations.

	ld/
	* emultempl/riscvelf.em (riscv_elf_before_allocation): Change
	link_info.relax_pass from 3 to 4.
	* testsuite/ld-riscv-elf/pcgp-relax.d: New testcase.
	* testsuite/ld-riscv-elf/pcgp-relax.s: Likewise.
	* testsuite/ld-riscv-elf/ld-riscv-elf.exp: Updated.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
