This patch adds --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi]
to ld for ELF targets to support generating compressed DWARF debug
sections. We always generate .zdebug_* section since section names have
been finalized and they can't be changed easily when compression is
being performed.

Address of protected data defined in the shared library may be external,
i.e., due to copy relocation. By default, linker backend checks if
relocations against protected data symbols are valid for building shared
library and issues an error if relocation isn't allowed. The new option
override linker backend default. When -z noextern-protected-data is used,
updates on protected data symbols by another module won't be visibile
to the resulting shared library. This option is specific to ELF/i386
and ELF/x86-64.

Recognize NT_X86_XSTATE notes in FreeBSD process cores. Recent
FreeBSD versions include a note containing the XSAVE state for each
thread in the process when XSAVE is in use. The note stores a copy of
the current XSAVE mask in a reserved section of the machine-defined
XSAVE state at the same offset as Linux's NT_X86_XSTATE note.
For native processes, use the PT_GETXSTATE_INFO ptrace request to
determine if XSAVE is enabled, and if so the active XSAVE state mask
(that is, the value of %xcr0 for the target process) as well as the
size of XSAVE state area. Use the PT_GETXSTATE and PT_SETXSTATE requests
to fetch and store the XSAVE state, respectively, in the BSD x86
native targets.
In addition, the FreeBSD amd64 and i386 native targets now include
"read_description" target methods to determine the correct x86 target
description for the current XSAVE mask. On FreeBSD amd64 this also
properly returns an i386 target description for 32-bit binaries which
allows the 64-bit GDB to run 32-bit binaries.
Note that the ptrace changes are in the BSD native targets, not the
FreeBSD-specific native targets since that is where the other ptrace
register accesses occur. Of the other BSDs, NetBSD and DragonFly use
XSAVE in the kernel but do not currently export the extended state via
ptrace(2). OpenBSD does not currently support XSAVE.

SHF_COMPRESSED bit if not decompress.
Some early revisions of the Cortex-A53 have an erratum (843419). The
details of the erratum are quite complex and involve dynamic
conditions. For the purposes of the workaround we have simplified the
static conditions to an ADRP in the last two instructions of a 4KByte
page, followed within four instructions by a load/store dependent on
the ADRP.
This patch adds support to conservatively scan for and workaround
Cortex A53 erratum 843419. There are two different workaround
strategies used. The first is to rewrite ADRP instructions which form
part of an erratum sequence with an ADR instruction. In situations
where the ADR provides insufficient offset the dependent load or store
instruction from the sequence is moved to a stub section and branches
are inserted from the original sequence to the relocated instruction
and back again.
Stub section sizes are rounded up to a multiple of 4096 in order to
ensure that the act of inserting work around stubs does not create
more errata sequences.
Workaround stubs are always inserted into the stub section associated
with the input section containing the erratum sequence. This ensures
that the fully relocated form of the veneered load store instruction
is available at the point in time when the stub section is written.
Since .rela.plt/rel.plt section may contain relocations against .got.plt
section, we set sh_info for .rela.plt/rel.plt section to .got.plt section
index if target has .got.plt section.

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.

Ensure that injection of a stub section does not break a link where
there is an xpectation that flow of control can pass from one input
section to another simply by linking the input sections in series.
The solution here is to allow stub sections to be inserted after any
input section (existing behaviour), but inject an additional branch at
the start of each stub section such that control flow falling into the
stub section will branch over the stub section.
I noticed that _bfd_elf_gc_mark_extra_sections attempts to unmark
related debug sections when it finds an unmarked code section.
When it finds .text.foo is unmarked, for example, it removes
.debug_line.text.foo as well (using the section name as a suffix
match check.
However, it bails out after finding one such section.

Change the behaviour of section_group[] such that .stub_sec points to
the stub section attached to the indexed section rather than the stub
section attached to the link_section pointed to be the index section.
This provides a mechanism to get to the stub section following any
input section. While still allowing the section grouping mechanism to
find the section group stub section associated with an input section
by first following the link_sec pointer.
This patch recognizes that we only need to perform one scan for the
835769 errata and that this scan can take place before we insert
branch stubs. The erratum scan code is relocated and adjusted to
create stub entries directly rather than populating an intermediate
representation. Since stub entries are created immediately we can
drop the adhoc stub size adjustment code and allow the generic stub
sizing code to deal with 835769 stub entries.
This patch restructures the code but does not change the workaround
used to deal with erratum 83679, the exact placement of workaround
stubs in the final image may change slightly after this patch due to
stubs being created in a different order.
