In early October, HJ Lu added support for a number of targets to "Dump
dynamic relocation in read-only section with minfo". This extends
that support to more targets, displays the symbol involved, and splits
the existing function that sets TEXTREL into a "readonly_dynrelocs"
and "maybe_set_textrel" function. I'll need "readonly_dynrelocs" if I
ever get around to fixing "pr22374 function pointer initialization"
fails.
am33_2.0, arc, bfin, hppa64, mn10300, and nios2 fail to mark a binary
needing text relocations with DT_TEXTREL. That's not good. xtensa also
fails to do so but complains about "dangerous relocation: dynamic
relocation in read-only section" so I reckon that is fine and have
marked the test as an xfail. The other targets need maintainer
attention.
Curiously, the map file dump wasn't added for x86, so the map test
currently fail on x86. It also fails on alpha, am33_2.0, arc, bfin,
hppa64, ia64, m68k, mips, mn10300, nios2, score and vax. cris
complains with "tmpdir/textrel.o, section .rodata: relocation
R_CRIS_32 should not be used in a shared object; recompile with -fPIC"
so I've marked it as an xfail.

The behavior of _bfd_elf_merge_symbol and _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol is
inconsistent.
In multiple definition case, _bfd_elf_merge_symbol decided to override the old
symbol definition with the new defintion, (size, type, target data)
In _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol, it simply return without doing anything
because of allow-multiple-definition is provided.
This leaves the symbol in a wrong state.
Here, following the documentation, I made this patch to force the old definition
override the new definition if the old symbol is not dynamic or weak.
Because, in those two cases, it's expected to do some merge. I have checked
that, those two cases are properly handled.

Since undefined weak symbols in static PIE are always resolved to 0 at

whether "-z dynamic-undefined-weak" is used. "-z dynamic-undefined-weak"
only makes undefined weak symbols dynamic, but doesn't change undefined
weak symbol resolution in static PIE at link-time. These tests currently
pass on x86, but fails on many other targets.

This fixes a wart I've known about for years, but haven't done
anything about because BFD treats relocation sections as an adjunct to
the section they relocate. SHF_GROUP on the section thus implicitly
applies to its relocation section(s), but it is an error that the
reloc sections aren't part of the group.
Like many patches to gas, this wasn't as straightforward as it could
be due to a number of backends, i386, cr16 and others, removing relocs
in tc_get_reloc rather than marking them as "done" earlier in
md_apply_reloc. So it isn't possible for the group support to
reliably detect the presence of relocs by looking at fixups earlier
than write_relocs. However the group support needs to create
signature symbols, and that must be done before the symbol table is
frozen, before write_relocs. So split off the group sizing from
elf_adjust_symtab and put it in elf_frob_file_after_relocs.

When processing an orphan section we first call lang_place_orphans, this
function handles a few sections for which the behaviour is known COMMON
sections, or sections marked as SEC_EXCLUDE.
Any orphans that are not handled in lang_place_orphans are passed on to
ldlang_place_orphan, this is where we decide where to put the orphan,
and then call lang_add_section to perform the actual orphan placement.
We previously had a larger set of checks at the start of the function
lang_add_section to discard some sections that we _knew_ should not be
added into the output file, this was where .group sections (in a final
link) and .debug* sections (with --strip-debug) were dropped.
The problem with dropping these sections at the lang_add_section stage
is that a user might also be using --orphan-handling=error to prevent
orphans. If they are then they should not be get errors about sections
that we know will be discarded, and which are not mentioned in the
linker script.
The solution proposed in this patch is to move the "will this section be
discarded" check into a separate function, and use this in
lang_place_orphans to have the early discard phase discard sections that
we know should not be included in the output file.

When --no-define-common is used to build shared library, treat common
symbol as undefined so that common symbols that are referenced from a
shared library to be assigned addresses only in the main program. This
eliminates the unused duplicate space in the shared library, and also
prevents any possible confusion over resolving to the wrong duplicate
when there are many dynamic modules with specialized search paths for
runtime symbol resolution.
--no-define-common is only allowed when building a shared library.

the creation of a GNU_RELRO segment for targets which place the section
along with small data, and therefore as it stands cannot have the
section assigned to GNU_RELRO. This is because we currently only
support a single GNU_RELRO segment and we place it at the beginning of
regular data which is then separated from small data by read-write data.
Currently the list of such targets consists of Alpha, Linux HPPA, NetBSD
HPPA, OpenBSD HPPA, Meta, MIPS, Nios II, OpenRISC 1000, RISC-V, SH and
X86-64, as determined by examining default linker scripts produced in a
`--enable-targets=all' build for those that have DATA_SEGMENT_RELRO_END
set and `.got' placed beyond. These targets do not set NO_SMALL_DATA or
DATA_GOT in their respective files in ld/emulparams/*, hovever checking
for the absence of these settings on its own is not very feasible due to
the structure of these files and the lack of support for GNU_RELRO by
some targets in the first place.

references, according to `elf_frob_symbol' code in gas/config/obj-elf.c:
/* The Irix 5 and 6 assemblers set the type of any common symbol and
any undefined non-function symbol to STT_OBJECT. We try to be
compatible, since newer Irix 5 and 6 linkers care. However, we
only set undefined symbols to be STT_OBJECT if we are on Irix,

specifically with the `mips-sgi-irix5' and `mips-sgi-irix6' targets.
Given that it does not matter for the feature covered by these tests
whether the type of the symbols produced is STT_NOTYPE or STT_OBJECT
adjust the problematic cases to accept either type, removing the
failures observed.

Symbol lookup in linker will always fail on targets with leading char
in symbol name since __start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME in C may be
___start_SECNAME and ___stop_SECNAME in assembly. Also tests with
--gc-sections always fails on targets without --gc-sections support.
