The objcopy and strip tools make use of the bfd library to manipulate
the state of the input file (to produce an output file). Within the
input file (for ELF at least), relocations are held within a section,
and so, if the user wanted to remove the relocations, but keep the
section to which the relocations would have been applied, it is tempting
to think that specifying the name of a relocation section to objcopy's
--remove-section option might do what you want, for example:
objcopy --remove-section=.rela.text input.elf output.elf
However, this does not work. The reason is that when the input file is
loaded, relocations are not managed as sections, but are, instead,
loaded as data associated with the section to which the relocations
would be applied. In our example above the relocations in '.rela.text'
are held as data on the section '.text' once 'input.elf' is loaded.
One task that objcopy and strip do is copy the relocations from the
input file to the output file if the section is also being copied from
the input file to the output file.
This commit adds a new command line option for objcopy and strip,
--remove-relocations, which can be used to remove the relocations, while
keeping the section that the relocations would have been applied to, for
example:
objcopy --remove-relocations=.text input.elf output.elf
in this case the section '.text' will appear in both 'input.elf' and
'output.elf', but any relocations in 'input.elf' that apply to '.text'
will not be present in 'output.elf'.
I have also added a special case to the handling of --remove-section
that spots if a user tries to remove a relocation section (currently
this is done by spotting the '.rela.' or '.rel.' prefix) and forwards
the request to --remove-relocations.
As with --remove-section and --only-section the --remove-relocations
option supports the '!' prefix on the section-patterns it takes to allow
for sections to be specifically not matched.
There are tests for all the new functionality.

For symbol matching, prefixing a pattern with '!' will indicate a
non-matching pattern, however, this is not the case for section
patterns. As a result it is not possible to say "apply this action to
all sections except ...".
With this commit the objcopy and strip tools now support '!' prefix for
section patterns, so we can say:
objcopy --remove-section="*" --remove-section="!.text*"
Which will remove all sections, except those matching the pattern
'.text*'.

Some MIPS targets use a named section symbol rather than a symbol with
no name as is used with most ELF targets. When renaming sections, the
named section symbol needs to be renamed too.
Rather than fix this bug, I'd originally intended to just correct the
xfail added recently for update-1.o vs update4.o in update-section.exp,
using the same set of targets for the localize-hidden-1 mips xfail.
I'd extracted that target test into a new function, is_bad_symtab. It
turns out to be useful in readelf.exp too.

In objcopy, copy_object calls copy_section to copy contents of input
section to output section. When --gap-fill= is used, objcopy extends
the size of output sectios to fill gaps between output sections with
gap fills. In this case, we adjust the output section size to skip
gap files to avoid reading beypond the input section buffer before
calling copy_section and restore the output section size after input
sections have been copied.

When using options such as --localize-symbol, --globalize-symbol, etc,
along with the --wildcard option, prefixing a symbol name with '!'
should provide non-matching behaviour, as example the following example
is given in the manual:
--wildcard --weaken-symbol !foo --weaken-symbol fo*
which should weaken all symbols matching the pattern 'fo*', but not the
symbol 'foo'.
However, this currently does not work, the current logic will waken all
symbols matching the pattern 'fo*' AND all symbols that are not 'foo'.
The symbol 'foo' is covered by the first condition, and so is weakened,
while, other symbols, for example 'bar' will match the second condition,
and so be weakened.
This patch adjusts the logic so that a pattern prefixed with '!'
specifically DOES NOT apply the relevant change to any matching symbols,
instead of applying the change to all non-matching symbols. So this:
--weaken-symbol !foo
will ensure that the symbol 'foo' is not weakened, but says nothing
about symbols that are not 'foo'. As a result, a pattern prefixed with
'!' now only makes sense when used alongside a more wide ranging
wildcard pattern.
This change should make the wildcard matching feature more useful, with
no overall loss of functionality. The example given in the manual,
weaken all symbols matching 'fo*' except 'foo' can now be achieved, but
so too can more complex examples, such as weaken all symbols matching
'fo*' except 'foo', 'foa', and 'fob', like this:
--wildcard --weaken-symbol !foo \
--weaken-symbol !foa \
--weaken-symbol !fob \
--weaken-symbol fo*
Under the previous scheme, something as symbols as, weaken all symbols
except 'foo' could have been achieved with this:
--weaken-symbol !foo
however, this will no longer work. To achieve the same result under the
new scheme this is now required:
--weaken-symbol !foo --weaken-symbol *

The section name used to store the build-id on pe/coff is arbitrary, as it's
contents should be located using the pe/coff header's DataDirectory debug data
entry, not by using the section name.
But '.build-id' is not a good choice for that section name, as it is 9
characters long, and hence truncated to 8 characters when
--disable-long-section-names is used (which is the default, when producing an
executable with no dwarf debug sections, e.g. using ld --strip-all --build-id)
This truncation then breaks 'objcopy --only-keep-debug', which does use the
section name, due to concerns that keeping an arbitrary section which contains
the debug directory is not sensible.

objcopy operations. BFD is seriously confused by objects without
section info. The error message added here is similar to the error
on attempting to strip/objcopy a zero length object.
