--gc-sections will silently remove __patchable_function_entries section
and generate corrupt result. This patch adds the section flag 'o' to
.section directive:
.section __patchable_function_entries,"awo",@progbits,foo
.section __patchable_function_entries,"awoG",@progbits,foo,foo,comdat
.section __patchable_function_entries,"awo",@progbits,bar,unique,4
.section __patchable_function_entries,"awoG",@progbits,foo,foo,comdat,unique,1
which specifies the symbol name which the section references. Assmebler
will set its elf_linked_to_section to a local section where the symbol
is defined.
Linker is updated to call mark_hook if gc_mark of any of its linked-to
sections is set after all sections, except for backend specific ones,
have been garbage collected.
