d3e5f6c8f1 objcopy/strip: Add option --remove-relocations=SECTIONPATTERN
The objcopy and strip tools make use of the bfd library to manipulate
the state of the input file (to produce an output file).  Within the
input file (for ELF at least), relocations are held within a section,
and so, if the user wanted to remove the relocations, but keep the
section to which the relocations would have been applied, it is tempting
to think that specifying the name of a relocation section to objcopy's
--remove-section option might do what you want, for example:

   objcopy --remove-section=.rela.text input.elf output.elf

However, this does not work.  The reason is that when the input file is
loaded, relocations are not managed as sections, but are, instead,
loaded as data associated with the section to which the relocations
would be applied.  In our example above the relocations in '.rela.text'
are held as data on the section '.text' once 'input.elf' is loaded.

One task that objcopy and strip do is copy the relocations from the
input file to the output file if the section is also being copied from
the input file to the output file.

This commit adds a new command line option for objcopy and strip,
--remove-relocations, which can be used to remove the relocations, while
keeping the section that the relocations would have been applied to, for
example:

    objcopy --remove-relocations=.text input.elf output.elf

in this case the section '.text' will appear in both 'input.elf' and
'output.elf', but any relocations in 'input.elf' that apply to '.text'
will not be present in 'output.elf'.

I have also added a special case to the handling of --remove-section
that spots if a user tries to remove a relocation section (currently
this is done by spotting the '.rela.' or '.rel.' prefix) and forwards
the request to --remove-relocations.

As with --remove-section and --only-section the --remove-relocations
option supports the '!' prefix on the section-patterns it takes to allow
for sections to be specifically not matched.

There are tests for all the new functionality.

e511c9b19f objcopy/strip: Allow section patterns starting with '!'.
For symbol matching, prefixing a pattern with '!' will indicate a
non-matching pattern, however, this is not the case for section
patterns.  As a result it is not possible to say "apply this action to
all sections except ...".

With this commit the objcopy and strip tools now support '!' prefix for
section patterns, so we can say:

  objcopy --remove-section="*" --remove-section="!.text*"

Which will remove all sections, except those matching the pattern
'.text*'.

	with '!' being a non-matching pattern.

b8871f357f Properly implement STT_COMMON
The BFD configure option, --enable-elf-stt-common, can't be to used to
verify STT_COMMON implementation with the normal binutils build.  Instead,
this patch removes it from BFD.  It adds --elf-stt-common=[no|yes] to ELF
assembler/objcopy and adds -z common/-z nocommon to ld.

A configure option, --enable-elf-stt-common, is added to gas to specify
whether ELF assembler should generate common symbols with the STT_COMMON
type by default.

Since BSF_KEEP_G is never used, it is renamed to BSF_ELF_COMMON for ELF
common symbols.

19a7fe52ae Make default compression gABI compliant
All programs in binutils+gdb git repo now support gABI compression
with the SHF_COMPRESSED bit.  This patch makes the zlib-gabi option
as compression default for gas, gold, ld and objcopy, instead of the
zlib-gnu option whose outputs are incompatible with gABI.

binutils/

	* objcopy.c (copy_file): Set BFD_COMPRESS_GABI if not
	zlib-gnu.
	* doc/binutils.texi: Change --compress-debug-sections and
	--compress-debug-sections=zlib to zlib-gabi.

binutils/testsuite/

	* binutils-all/compress.exp: Update.

gas/

	* as.c (parse_args): Make --compress-debug-sections and
	--compress-debug-sections=zlib the same as
	--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi.
	* doc/as.texinfo: Change --compress-debug-sections and
	--compress-debug-sections=zlib to zlib-gabi.

gold/

	* compressed_output.cc (Output_compressed_section::set_final_data_size):
	Make --compress-debug-sections=zlib the same as
	--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi.
	* testsuite/Makefile.am (flagstest_compress_debug_sections.check):
	Expect ".debug_.*" with the SHF_COMPRESSED bit, instead of
	".zdebug_".
	* testsuite/Makefile.in: Regenerated.

ld/

	* emultempl/elf32.em (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option): Make
	--compress-debug-sections=zlib the same as
	--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi.
	* ld.texinfo: Change --compress-debug-sections=zlib to zlib-gabi.

5db04b0965 Support AMD64/Intel ISAs in assembler/disassembler
AMD64 spec and Intel64 spec differ in direct unconditional branches in
64-bit mode.  AMD64 supports direct unconditional branches with 16-bit
offset via the data size prefix, which truncates RIP to 16 bits, while
the data size prefix is ignored by Intel64.

This patch adds -mamd64/-mintel64 option to x86-64 assembler and
-Mamd64/-Mintel64 option to x86-64 disassembler.  The most permissive
ISA, which is AMD64, is the default.

GDB can add an option, similar to

(gdb) help set disassembly-flavor
Set the disassembly flavor.
The valid values are "att" and "intel", and the default value is "att".

151411f8af Add SHF_COMPRESSED support to gas and objcopy
This patch adds --compress-debug-sections={none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi}
options to gas and objcopy for ELF files. They control how DWARF debug
sections are compressed.  --compress-debug-sections=none is equivalent to
--nocompress-debug-sections.  --compress-debug-sections=zlib and
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu are equivalent to
--compress-debug-sections.  --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi compresses
DWARF debug sections with SHF_COMPRESSED from the ELF ABI.  No linker
changes are required to support SHF_COMPRESSED.

7fac9594c4 In response to a public outcry the strings program now defaults to using the
--all option which displays text from anywhere in the input file(s).  The
default used to be --data, which only displays text from loadable data sections,
but this requires the use of the BFD library.  Since the BFD library almost
certainly still contains buffer overrun and/or memory corruption bugs, and
since the strings program is often used to examine malicious code, it was
decided that the --data option option represents a possible security risk.

	initialized, loadable data secions of binaries.  Choose the
