The PLT GOT entry should point to the first PLT entry which contains the
runtime linker function. It was pointing back to the symbol PLT entry
causing an infinite loop.
I found this when testing the OpenRISC glibc port which uses the runtime
dynamic linker. It seems other libc's we use so far have not been
making use of the initial PLT GOT entries.

This patch fixes a few linker crashes due to TLS code reaching an assert when it
shouldn't.
The first scenario is with weak TLS symbols that remain weak during linking. In
this case the mid-end would not have seen a TLS symbol and so wouldn't have
allocated the TLS section. We currently assert here and the linker crashes with
a not very useful message.
This patch changes this to return the value 0 for the TLS symbol in question
emulating what lld and gold and other BFD targets do. However because weak TLS
is implementation defined and we don't define any behavior for it I also emit a
warning to the user to inform them of such.
Secondly when a strong TLS reference is undefined. The linker crashes even after
it correctly reported that there is an undefined reference. This changes it so
that it gracefully exits and reports a useful error.

This patch removes use of st_target_internal to cache the result of
comparing symbol names against CMSE_PREFIX. The problem with setting
a bit in st_target_internal in swap_symbol_in is that calling
bfd_elf_sym_name from swap_symbol_in requires symtab_hdr, and you
don't know for sure whether swap_symbol_in is operating on dynsyms
(and thus elf_tdata (abfd)->dynsymtab_hdr should be used) or on the
normal symtab (thus elf_tdata (abfd)->symtab_hdr). You can make an
educated guess based on abfd->flags & DYNAMIC but that relies on
knowing a lot about calls to bfd_elf_get_elf_syms, and is fragile in
the face of possible future changes.

If you have code linked at address zero, you can have a lui instruction
loading a value 0x800 which gets relaxed to a c.lui which is valid (c.lui 0x1
followed by addi -0x800). Relaxation can reduce the value below 0x800 at which
point the c.lui 0x0 is no longer valid. We can fix this by converting the
c.lui to a c.li which can load 0.

This patch is a reimplementation of [1] which was submitted in 2015 by
Neil Schellenberger. Copyright issue was sorted out [2] last year.
It proposed a new section (.gnu.xhash) and related dynamic tag
(DT_GNU_XHASH). The new section would be virtually identical to the
existing .gnu.hash except for the translation table (xlat) which would
contain correct MIPS .dynsym indexes corresponding to the hashvals in
chains. This is because MIPS ABI imposes a different ordering on the
dynsyms than the one expected by the .gnu.hash section. Another addition
would be a leading word (ngnusyms) which would contain the number of
entries in the translation table.
In this patch, the new section name and dynamic tag are changed to
reflect the fact that the section should be treated as MIPS-specific
(.MIPS.xhash and DT_MIPS_XHASH).
This patch addresses the alignment issue as reported in [3], which is
caused by the leading word added to the .MIPS.xhash section. Leading word
is removed in this patch, and the number of entries in the translation
table is now calculated using DT_MIPS_SYMTABNO dynamic tag (this is
addressed by the corresponding glibc patch).
Suggestions on coding style in [4] were taken into account. Existing
GNU hash testcase was covered, and another one was added in the MIPS
part of the testsuite.
The other major change is reserving MIPS ABI version 5 for .MIPS.xhash,
marking the need of support for .MIPS.xhash in the dynamic linker (again,
addressed in the corresponding glibc patch). This is something which I
am not sure of, especially after reading [5]. I am confused on whether
this ABI version is reserved for IFUNC, or it can be used for this
purpose.
