There was a gap in the documentation of EXCLUDE_FILE that could cause
confusion to a user. When writing an input section specifier like this:
*(EXCLUDE_FILE (somefile.o) .text .text.*)
this could mean one of the following:
1. All '.text' and '.text.*' from all files except for 'somefile.o',
or
2. All '.text' from all files except 'somefile.o', and all '.text.*'
sections from all files.
It turns out that the second interpretation is correct, but the manual
does not make this clear (to me at least). Hopefully this patch makes
things clearer.

When handling absolute relocations for global symbols bind within the
shared object, AArch64 will generate one dynamic RELATIVE relocation,
but won't apply the value for this absolution relocations at static
linking stage. This is different from AArch64 gold linker and x86-64.
This is not a bug as AArch64 is RELA, there is only guarantee that
relocation addend is placed in the relocation entry. But some
system softwares originally writen for x86-64 might assume AArch64
bfd linker gets the same behavior as x86-64, then they could take
advantage of this buy skipping those RELATIVE dynamic relocations
if the load address is the same as the static linking address.
This patch makes AArch64 BFD linker applies absolution relocations at
static linking stage for scenario described above. Meanwhile old AArch64
android loader has a bug (PR19163) which relies on current linker behavior
as a workaround, so the same option --no-apply-dynamic-relocs added.

Add a new command line option '--require-defined' to the linker. This
option operates identically to the '--undefined' option, except that if
the symbol is not defined in the final output file then the linker will
exit with an error.
When making use of --gc-section, or just when trying to pull in parts of
a library, it is not uncommon for a user to use the '--undefined'
command line option to specify a symbol that the user then expects to be
defined by one of the object files supplied to the link.
However, if for any reason the symbol is not satisfied by an object
provided to the link the user will be left with an undefined symbol in
the output file, instead of a defined symbol.
In some cases the above behaviour is what the user wants, in other cases
though we can do better. The '--require-defined' option tries to fill
this gap. The symbol passed to the '--require-defined' option is
treated exactly as if the symbol was passed to '--undefined', however,
before the linker exits a check is made that all symbols passed to
'--require-defined' are actually defined, if any are not then the link
will fail with an error.

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.

Alignment of plt stubs was broken, firstly because the option was
being dropped due to the alignment value not being set in the "params"
struct used in elf64-ppc.c, and secondly due to not calculating the
