H.J. Lu 6fbec038f7 Use SHF_GNU_RETAIN to preserve symbol definitions
In assemly code, the section flag 'R' sets the SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag to
indicate that the section must be preserved by the linker.

Add SECTION_RETAIN to indicate a section should be retained by the linker
and set SECTION_RETAIN on section for the preserved symbol if assembler
supports SHF_GNU_RETAIN.  All retained symbols are placed in separate
sections with

	.section .data.rel.local.preserved_symbol,"awR"
preserved_symbol:
...
	.section .data.rel.local,"aw"
not_preserved_symbol:
...

to avoid

	.section .data.rel.local,"awR"
preserved_symbol:
...
not_preserved_symbol:
...

which places not_preserved_symbol definition in the SHF_GNU_RETAIN
section.

	* configure.ac (HAVE_GAS_SHF_GNU_RETAIN): New.  Define 1 if
	the assembler supports marking sections with SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag.
	* output.h (SECTION_RETAIN): New.  Defined as 0x4000000.
	(SECTION_MACH_DEP): Changed from 0x4000000 to 0x8000000.
	(default_unique_section): Add a bool argument.
	* varasm.c (get_section): Set SECTION_RETAIN for the preserved
	symbol with HAVE_GAS_SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
	(resolve_unique_section): Used named section for the preserved
	symbol if assembler supports SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
	(get_variable_section): Handle the preserved common symbol with
	HAVE_GAS_SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
	(default_elf_asm_named_section): Require the full declaration and
	use the 'R' flag for SECTION_RETAIN.
	* config.in: Regenerated.
	* configure: Likewise.
	* doc/sourcebuild.texi: Document R_flag_in_section.

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

The GNU Compiler Collection is free software.  See the files whose
names start with COPYING for copying permission.  The manuals, and
some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.

The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text.  The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi.  The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.

See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information.  An online readable
version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully.

Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range
notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range,
inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed
individually.
