Mark an ALLOC section, which should be placed in special memory area,
with SHF_GNU_MBIND. Its sh_info field indicates the special memory
type. GNU_MBIND section names start with ".mbind" so that they are
placed as orphan sections by linker. All input GNU_MBIND sections
with the same sh_type, sh_flags and sh_info are placed in one output
GNU_MBIND section. In executable and shared object, create a
GNU_MBIND segment for each GNU_MBIND section and its segment type is
PT_GNU_MBIND_LO plus the sh_info value. Each GNU_MBIND segment is
aligned at page boundary.
The assembler syntax:
.section .mbind.foo,"adx",%progbits
^ 0: Special memory type.
|
'd' for SHF_GNU_MBIND.
.section .mbind.foo,"adx",%progbits,0x1
^ 1: Special memory type.
|
'd' for SHF_GNU_MBIND.
.section .mbind.bar,"adG",%progbits,.foo_group,comdat,0x2
^ 2: Special memory type.

'd' for SHF_GNU_MBIND.

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*'.

Since existing ld and gold support the 64-bit (MIPS) ELF archives, we
can use the 64-bit (MIPS) ELF archives as 64-bit archives. Since the
plugin target is used to create archive in plugin-enabled ar, we need
a way to enable 64-bit archives in the plugin target. This patch adds
--enable-64-bit-archive to bfd to force 64-bit archives in ar and
ranlib. Since both 64-bit MIPS and s390 ELF targets currently use
64-bit archives, 64-bit archives are enabled by default for them.
64-bit archive is generated automatically if the archive is too big.
Tested on Linux/x86 and Linux/x86-64 with existing ld and gold.

--all option which displays text from anywhere in the input file(s). The
default used to be --data, which only displays text from loadable data sections,
but this requires the use of the BFD library. Since the BFD library almost
