Add support for the AMDGCN architecture to BFD.
This is the bare minimum to get
$ ./configure --target=amdgcn-hsa-amdhsa --disable-gas
$ make all-binutils
working later in this series.
The specific AMDGCN models added here are a bit arbitrary, based on
what we intend to initially support in GDB. This list will need to be
updated in the future anyway. The complete up-to-date list of existing
AMDGPU models can be found here:
https://llvm.org/docs/AMDGPUUsage.html#processors
The ELF format for this architecture is documented here:
https://llvm.org/docs/AMDGPUUsage.html#elf-code-object
The flags for the "HSA" OS ABI are properly versioned and documented on
that page. But the NONE, PAL and MESA3D OS ABIs are not well documented
nor versioned. Taking a peek at the LLVM source code, we see that they
encode their flags the same way as HSA v3. For example, for PAL:
c8b614cd74/llvm/lib/Target/AMDGPU/MCTargetDesc/AMDGPUTargetStreamer.cpp (L601)
So at least, we know that all AMDGPU objects (of which AMDGCN objects
are a subset of) at the time of writing encode the specific GPU model in
the EF_AMDGPU_MACH field of e_flags.

FreeBSD's kernel has recently added two new ELF auxiliary vector
entries. AT_FXRNG points to a root seed version for the kernel's
PRNG. Userland can use this to reseed a userland PRNG after the
kernel's PRNG has reseeded. AT_KPRELOAD is the base address of a
kernel-provided vDSO.
This change displays the proper name and description of these entries

x86: correct overflow checking for 16-bit PC-relative relocs
caused linker failure when building 16-bit program in a 32-bit ELF

to indicate that 16-bit mode instructions are used in the object to
allow linker to properly perform relocation overflow check for 16-bit
PC-relative relocations in 16-bit mode instructions.
1. Update x86 assembler to always generate the GNU property note with
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_2_CODE16 for .code16 in ELF object.
2. Update i386 and x86-64 linkers to use 16-bit PC16 relocations if

Adds support for including RISC-V control and status registers into
core files.
The value for the define NT_RISCV_CSR is set to 0x900, this
corresponds to a patch I have proposed for the Linux kernel here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-riscv/2020-December/003910.html
As I have not yet heard if the above patch will be accepted into the
kernel or not I have set the note name string to "GDB", and the note
type to NT_RISCV_CSR.
This means that if the above patch is rejected from the kernel, and
the note type number 0x900 is assigned to some other note type, we
will still be able to distinguish between the GDB produced
NT_RISCV_CSR, and the kernel produced notes, where the name would be
set to "CORE".

This commit lays the ground work for allowing GDB to write its target
description into a generated core file.
The goal of this work is to allow a user to connect to a remote
target, capture a core file from within GDB, then pass the executable
and core file to another user and have the user be able to examine the
state of the machine without needing to connect to a running target.
Different remote targets can have different register sets and this
information is communicated from the target to GDB in the target
description.
It is possible for a user to extract the target description from GDB
and pass this along with the core file so that when the core file is
used the target description can be fed back into GDB, however this is
not a great user experience.
It would be nicer, I think, if GDB could write the target description
directly into the core file, and then make use of this description
when loading a core file.
This commit performs the binutils/bfd side of this task, adding the
boiler plate functions to access the target description from within a
core file note, and reserving a new number for a note containing the
target description. Later commits will extend GDB to make use of
this.
The new note is given the name 'GDB' and a type NT_GDB_TDESC. This
should hopefully protect us if there's ever a reuse of the number
assigned to NT_GDB_TDESC by some other core file producer. It should
also, hopefully, make it clearer to users that this note carries GDB
specific information.

The SHF_GNU_RETAIN section flag is an extension to the GNU ELF OSABI.
It is defined as follows:
=========================================================
Section Attribute Flags
+-------------------------------------+
| Name | Value |
+-------------------------------------+
| SHF_GNU_RETAIN | 0x200000 (1 << 21) |
+-------------------------------------+
SHF_GNU_RETAIN
The link editor should not garbage collect the section.
=========================================================
The .section directive accepts the "R" flag, which indicates
SHF_GNU_RETAIN should be applied to the section.
There is not a direct mapping of SHF_GNU_RETAIN to the BFD
section flag SEC_KEEP. Keeping these flags distinct allows
SHF_GNU_RETAIN sections to be explicitly removed by placing them in
/DISCARD/.

When a coredump is generated, there are a few registers in
ARC HS that are put under a special section, namely ".reg-v2".
It is for backward compatibility reasons with older tools that
we have decided not to extend the generic ".reg" section.
This patch makes it possible to display the information better
regarding that section. Compare the output of "readelf" without
and with these changes:
$ readelf -n core # without the patch
...
LINUX 0x0000000c Unknown note type: (0x00000600)

In another commit (soon to be submitted), GDB will makes use of these
changes to parse the extra section and its registers.

FreeBSD's kernel recently added a new ELF auxiliary vector entry
holding a mask of software features provided by the kernel. This
change fixes 'info auxv' to report the name and description for this
vector entry instead of '???'.

This is part of the patch series to add support for BTI and
PAC in AArch64 linker.
This patch implements the following:
1) This extends in the gnu property support in the linker for
AArch64 by defining backend hooks for elf_backend_setup_gnu_properties,
elf_backend_merge_gnu_properties and elf_backend_parse_gnu_properties.
2) It defines AArch64 specific GNU property
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_AND and 2 bit for BTI and PAC in it.
3) It also adds support in readelf.c to read and print these new
GNU properties in AArch64.
All these are made according to the new AArch64 ELF ABI
