I'd made this dynamic section read-only so a flag test distinguished
it from .dynbss, but like any other .data.rel.ro section it really
should be marked read-write. (It is read-only after relocation, not
before.) When using the standard linker scripts this usually doesn't
matter since the output section is among other read-write sections and
not page aligned. However, it might matter in the extraordinary case
of the dynamic section being the only .data.rel.ro section with the
output section just happening to be page aligned and a multiple of a
page in size. In that case the output section would be read-only, and
live it its own read-only PT_LOAD segment, which is incorrect.

version processing ahead of the symbol sweep stage of section GC, all in

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
made to unused input section garbage collection:
- commit 1a766c6843 ("Also hide symbols without PLT nor GOT
references."),
<https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2011-09/msg00076.html>,
- commit 1d5316ab67 ("PR ld/13177: garbage collector retains zombie
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.

Allows .dynbss copy of shared library protected visibility variables
if they are read-only.
To recap: Copying a variable from a shared library into an executable's
.dynbss is an old hack invented for non-PIC executables, to avoid the
text relocations you'd otherwise need to access a shared library
variable. This works with ELF shared libraries because global
symbols can be overridden. The trouble is that protected visibility
symbols can't be overridden. A shared library will continue to access
it's own protected visibility variable while the executable accesses a
copy. If either the shared library or the executable updates the
value then the copy diverges from the original. This is wrong since
there is only one definition of the variable in the application.
So I made the linker report an error on attempting to copy protected
visibility variables into .dynbss. However, you'll notice the above
paragraph contains an "If". An application that does not modify the
variable value remains correct even though two copies of the variable
exist. The linker can detect this situation if the variable was
defined in a read-only section.

I was having a little closer look at what is going on here and noticed
that HJ unconditionally emits a NULL STT_FILE symbol before emitting
forced local symbols. That means we really don't need a second pass
over forced local symbols. The only reason for two passes is when
some forced local symbol can be emitted before the NULL STT_FILE. So
I set about removing the second pass, updating the testsuite all over
again. It's also unnecessary to emit the NULL STT_FILE when no
previous file symbol has been emitted.

LTO output objects have an STT_FILE symbol using the name of the file,
a temporary file. This results in executables that can't be exactly
reproduced, so the file name needs to be dropped. We don't want to
lose all file symbols when linking a mix of lto and non-lto objects as
a file symbol can be used to figure which source file generated a
given local symbol. So lto output objects need to be marked.
I chose to mark lto output objects with a new bfd flag. This flag is
also used to fix a bug in the link-once handling; An object being
loaded after "loading_lto_outputs" is set might be one extracted from
an archive to satisfy new references from lto objects, not an lto
object itself.
The new flag is copied from archive to elements, and the same done
for no_export. This fixes a bug in that --exclude-libs doesn't work
with thin archives. I'm not completely happy with this part of the
patch and may revist this to avoid the hack in
_bfd_look_for_bfd_in_cache.

Copy relocs are used in a scheme to avoid dynamic text relocations in
non-PIC executables that refer to variables defined in shared
libraries. The idea is to have the linker define any such variable in
the executable, with a copy reloc copying the initial value, then have
both the executable and shared library refer to the executable copy.
If the shared library defines the variable as protected then we have
two copies of the variable being used.

ld/
* ldlang.c (lang_add_section): Set up map_head.s and map_tail.s when

I noticed recently that .eh_frame FDEs generated by the linker for
call stubs and .glink weren't being indexed in .eh_frame_hdr, due to
bfd_elf_discard_info being run before the linker generated .eh_frame
sections were available for parsing. This patch moves code around in
elf64-ppc.c and ppc64elf.em to avoid that problem.
Another problem fixed here is that --gc-sections parses .eh_frame
early, and the existing machinery allows only one go at parsing the
.eh_frame sections. That resulted in the linker generated .eh_frame
CIEs not being merged and no .eh_frame_hdr index entries for those
FDEs. It turns out that all the info from parsing .eh_frame is
attached to the section, so order of parsing isn't important, and
after parsing sec_info_type being set will prevent a section being
parsed again. At least, when parsing doesn't hit an error. So there
isn't really any need for "parsed_eh_frame". "merge_cies" is also
redundant, which means _bfd_elf_{begin,end}_eh_frame_parsing can also
disappear.

The main aim of this change was to have non_ir_ref set correctly on
new indirect symbols. I could have added a "copy" param to the "notice"
function, so that indirect symbols could be created in plugin_notice,
but it seemed cleaner to create indirect syms earlier and pass them
rather than "string" to "notice".

Handle new indirect symbol.
Avoid scan of symbols on objects in coff archives since we don't need
to do anything special with common symbols. The scan is quite useless,
and breaks LTO due to slim LTO objects not having symbols available
until after the plugin has claimed them. Instead we can add objects
based on their archive symbol map.
Also, rip out the archive symbol hash table used by the generic
linker. Using a hash breaks one feature of unix archive linking;
The first object file in an archive defining any given symbol should
be the object extracted to satisfy that symbol. What's more a hash
isn't much faster except in pathological cases where object file
ordering causes many scans of the archive. See the comment which I'm
removing from elf_link_add_archive_symbols.
Finally, tidy elflink.c archive handling a little.

This fixes a problem seen on powerpc64le ELFv2 when creating a
function symbol alias with ld --defsym. st_other needs to be copied
from the source symbol to the alias in order to set up the local entry
offset for the alias. I decided to make this change in the generic
ELF code rather than in elf64-ppc.c since it looks like other targets
that use st_other bits might benefit too.
