Complement commit 81ff47b3a5 ("PR ld/20828: Fix linker script symbols
wrongly forced local with section GC") and move the symbol sweep stage
of section GC from `elf_gc_sweep' to `bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections',
avoiding the need to clear the `forced_local' marker, problematic for
targets that have special processing in their `elf_backend_hide_symbol'
handler. Set `mark' instead in `bfd_elf_record_link_assignment' and,
matching changes from commit 3bd43ebcb6 ("ld --gc-sections fail with
__tls_get_addr_opt"), also in PowerPC `__tls_get_addr_opt' handling
code, removing a:
FAIL: PR ld/20828 dynamic symbols with section GC (version script)
test suite failure with the `score-elf' target.
The rationale is it is enough if symbols are swept at the beginning of
`bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections' as it is only in this function that the
size of the GOT, the dynamic symbol table and other dynamic sections is
determined, which will depend on the number of symbols making it to the
dynamic symbol table. It is also appropriate to do the sweep at this
point as it is already after any changes have been made to symbols with
`bfd_elf_record_link_assignment', and not possible any earlier as calls
to that function are only made just beforehand -- barring audit entry
processing -- via `gld${EMULATION_NAME}_find_statement_assignment'
invoked from `gld${EMULATION_NAME}_before_allocation' which is the ELF
handler for `ldemul_before_allocation'.

Fix a generic ELF linker regression introduced with a chain of changes

references to external libraries"),
<https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2011-10/msg00161.html>,
- commit 6673f753c0 ("Fix PR 12772, garbage collection of dynamic
syms"), <https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2011-12/msg00077.html>,
causing the garbage collection of unused symbols present in a DSO
involved in a link to make identically named symbols ordinarily defined
(i.e. not hidden or PROVIDEd) by a linker script local, even though the
latter symbols are supposed to be global as if no DSO defined them as
well.
This is because linker script assignments are processed very late as
`lang_process' proceeds, down in the call to `ldemul_before_allocation',
which is made after the call to `lang_gc_sections' to do input section
garbage collecting. Consequently if unused, then any such DSO-defined
symbol has already been garbage-collected and internally marked local.
It would ordinarily be removed from dynamic symbol table output, however
a linker script assignment correctly replaces its original definition
with the new one and enters it into the dynamic symbol table produced as
it is supposed to be exported. The original local marking is however
retained making the symbol local in the dynamic symbol table and
therefore not available externally. This also causes a sorting problem
with the MIPS target, which does not expect non-section local dynamic
symbols to be output and produces an invalid binary.
Fix the problem then, by removing the `forced_local' marking for the
offending case and add suitable test cases. First to verify that unused
symbols ordinarily defined with linker script assignments remain
exported in the context of input section garbage collection whether or
not a DSO defining identically named symbols is present in the link.
Second that a linker version script still correctly retains or removes
such symbols as requested.

A while ago HJ fixed PR ld/18720 with commit 6e33951ed, which, among
other things, modified _bfd_elf_link_hash_copy_indirect to not copy
ref_dynamic, ref_regular, ref_regular_nonweak, non_got_ref, needs_plt
and pointer_equality_needed when setting up an indirect non-versioned
symbol pointing to a non-default versioned symbol. I didn't notice at
the time, but the pr18720 testcase fails on hppa-linux with
"internal error, aborting at binutils-gdb-2.28/bfd/elf32-hppa.c:3933
in elf32_hppa_relocate_section".
Now hppa-linux creates entries in the plt even for local functions, if
they are referenced using plabel (function pointer) relocations. So
needs_plt is set for foo when processing pr18720a.o. When the aliases
in pr28720b.o are processed, we get an indirection from foo to
foo@FOO, but don't copy needs_plt. Since foo@FOO is the "real" symbol
that is used after that point, no plt entry is made for foo and we
bomb when relocating the plabel.
As shown by the hppa-linux scenario, needs_plt should be copied even
for non-default versioned symbols. I believe all of the others ought
to be copied too, with the exception of ref_dynamic. Not copying
ref_dynamic is right because if a shared lib references "foo" it
should not be satisfied by any non-default version "foo@FOO".

Variables defined in shared libraries are copied into an executable's
.bss section when code in the executable is non-PIC and thus would
require dynamic text relocations to access the variable directly in
the shared library. Recent x86 toolchains also copy variables into
the executable to gain a small speed improvement.
The problem is that if the variable was originally read-only, the copy
in .bss is writable, potentially opening a security hole. This patch
cures that problem by putting the copy in a section that becomes
read-only after ld.so relocation, provided -z relro is in force.
The patch also fixes a microblaze linker segfault on attempting to
use dynamic bss variables.

This patch stop --gc-sections elf_gc_sweep_symbol localizing symbols
that ought to remain global.
The difficulty with always descending into output section statements
is that symbols defined by the script in such statements don't have
a bfd section when lang_do_assignments runs early in the link process.
There are two approaches to curing this problem. Either we can
create the bfd section early, or we can use a special section. This
patch takes the latter approach and uses bfd_und_section. (Creating
bfd sections early results in changed output section order, and thus
lots of testsuite failures. You can't create all output sections
early to ensure proper ordering as KEEP then stops empty sections
from being stripped.)
The wrinkle with this approach is that some code that runs at
gc-sections time needs to be made aware of the odd defined symbols
using bfd_und_section.

Always turn hidden and internal symbols which have a dynamic index into
local ones. This is required by the the ELF gABI[1]:
"A hidden symbol contained in a relocatable object must be either
removed or converted to STB_LOCAL binding by the link-editor when the
relocatable object is included in an executable file or shared object."
"An internal symbol contained in a relocatable object must be either
removed or converted to STB_LOCAL binding by the link-editor when the
relocatable object is included in an executable file or shared object."
The ELF linker usually respects this requirement, however in the case
where a dynamic symbol has been preallocated due to a reference of the
default export class aka visibility from the object being linked, and
then merged with a hidden or internal symbol definition from within the
same object, then the original export class is carried over to the
output dynamic symbol table, because while merging the generic ELF
linker only converts affected dynamic symbols to local when they are
defined or referenced by the object being linked and a dynamic object
involved in the link both at a time.
The dynamic symbol produced confuses then the dynamic loader at the run
time -- the hidden or internal export class is ignored and the symbol
follows preemption rules as with the default export class.
In the MIPS target it happens when `mips_elf_record_global_got_symbol'
creates a dynamic symbol when a call relocation is encountered.
Additionally if the undefined symbol referred by such a relocation does
specify the intended export class, then a local dynamic symbol is
created instead, which is harmless and allowed, but useless. Normally
no local dynamic symbols are created, except for a single dummy one at
the beginning.
Correct the problem by removing the extra check for a dynamic symbol
being defined or referenced by the object being linked and a dynamic
object involved in the link both at a time. The test cases included
cover the internal and hidden symbol cases, as well as a protected
symbol for a reference, the handling of which is unchanged by this fix.
Both cases described above are covered, that is where an internal or
hidden dynamic symbol is produced and where a local one is.
NB this change affects CRIS results where some symbols in the static
table produced in a final link are now converted from STV_HIDDEN to
STB_LOCAL. This happens whenever the `elf_backend_hide_symbol' handler
is called, so the affected symbols must have been chosen for entering
into the dynamic symbol table, except in these test cases no such symbol
table is produced. In fully linked binaries the static symbol table is
only used for debugging though, so such a change is fine.

This isn't perfect in checking whether libraries will be loaded since
elf_link_add_object_symbols doesn't recurse down DT_NEEDED links.
(That happens later in ld/emultempl/elf32.em after_open.) So in
effect this recursive check really only looks one level down the
DT_NEEDED tree. Which is enough for the most common case, and
libc.so/ld.so in particular.
