Fix an issue with the SEGMENT_START builtin function where its result is
absolute when taken from the default supplied, and section-relative when
taken from a `-T' command-line override. This is against documentation,
inconsistent and unexpected, and with PIE executables gives an incorrect
result with the `__executable_start' symbol.
Make the result of SEGMENT_START always section-relative then.

do is keep the tree representation of those fields for later
evaluation.

It is usually possible to tell absolute and ordinary symbols apart in
BFD throughout the link, by checking whether the section that owns the
symbol is absolute or not.
That however does not work for ordinary symbols defined in a linker
script outside an output section statement. Initially such symbols are
entered into to the link hash as absolute symbols, owned by the absolute
section. A flag is set in the internal linker expression defining such
symbols to tell the linker to convert them to section-relative ones in
the final phase of the link. That flag is however not accessible to BFD
linker code, including BFD target code in particular.
Add a flag to the link hash then to copy the information held in the
linker expression. Define a macro, `bfd_is_abs_symbol', for BFD code to
use where determining whether a symbol is absolute or ordinary is
required before the final link phase.
This macro will correctly identify the special `__ehdr_start' symbol as
ordinary throughout link, for example, even though early on it will be
assigned to the absolute section. Of course this does not let BFD code
identify what the symbol's ultimate section will be before the final
link phase has converted this symbol (in `update_definedness').

In a linker script, a sequence like this:
foo = ADDR (.some_section);
bar = foo;
PROVIDE (foo = 0);
will result in 'bar = ADDR (.some_section)' and 'foo = 0', which seems
like incorrect behaviour, foo is clearly defined elsewhere, and so the
PROVIDE should not trigger.
The problem is that an expression like this:
foo = ADDR (.some_section);
can't be evaluated until a late phase of the linker, due to the need
for the section '.some_section' to have been placed, then the PROVIDE
was being marked as being used during an earlier phase. At the end of
the link, both lines:
foo = ADDR (.some_section);
PROVIDE (foo = 0);
are active, and this causes the final value of 'foo' to be 0.
The solution proposed in this commit is that, during earlier phases of
the linker, when we see the expression 'foo = ADDR (.some_section);',
instead of ignoring the expression, we create a "fake" definition of
'foo'. The existence of this "fake" definition prevents the PROVIDE
from being marked used, and during the final phase the real definition
of 'foo' will replace the "fake" definition.
The new test provide-6 covers the exact case described above. The
provide-7 test is similar to the above, but using constant
expressions, this was never broken, but is added here to increase
coverage.
The provide-8 case also didn't fail before this commit, but I did
manage to break this case during development of this patch. This case
was only covered by a mmix test before, so I've added this here to
increase coverage.

Currently when recording a PROVIDE statement in a linker map file we
display something like:
PROVIDE (SYMBOL, VALUE)
However, in a linker script we write these statements like this:
PROVIDE (SYMBOL = VALUE);
This commit changes the output in the map file to be closer to linker
script format, the map file now contains:
PROVIDE (SYMBOL = VALUE)
The ';' is still missing from the end, but map files are not intended
to be valid linker script input, so adding the ';' just seems like
clutter.

This patch processes linker script assignment statements before ld
opens DT_NEEDED libraries, in order to define symbols like __bss_start
that might also be defined by a library, falsely triggering an error
about "DSO missing from command line".
The initial value won't be correct when assigning a symbol from dot,
and I make no attempt to handle all expressions. For example, an
assignment like "_start_foo = ADDR (.foo)" isn't valid until sections
are laid out, so won't define _start_foo early. What's here should be
enough for most common scripts, and hopefully won't perturb fragile
scripts.

There is a call to update_definedness between code that evaluates an
assignment expression value and code that transfers symbol
attributes. When script assignment expressions contain DEFINED, that
can mean the wrong symbol type is copied. This patch tracks symbols
read during expression evaluation, rather than examining the
expression and re-evaluating conditionals. Not only does this
simplify the code, it also means ld can now copy symbol types in more
complex expressions.
An unfortunate side effect of copying symbol type for more complex
expressions affects mmix, which uses
PROVIDE (Main = DEFINED (Main) ? Main : (DEFINED (_start) ? _start : _start.));
in a default script. So now _start or _start. symbol type may be
copied, losing the function type specially set up for Main. This can
be avoided by making bfd_copy_link_hash_symbol_type do nothing for
mmix.

This patch stop --gc-sections elf_gc_sweep_symbol localizing symbols
that ought to remain global.
The difficulty with always descending into output section statements
is that symbols defined by the script in such statements don't have
a bfd section when lang_do_assignments runs early in the link process.
There are two approaches to curing this problem. Either we can
create the bfd section early, or we can use a special section. This
patch takes the latter approach and uses bfd_und_section. (Creating
bfd sections early results in changed output section order, and thus
lots of testsuite failures. You can't create all output sections
early to ensure proper ordering as KEEP then stops empty sections
from being stripped.)
The wrinkle with this approach is that some code that runs at
gc-sections time needs to be made aware of the odd defined symbols
using bfd_und_section.

Commit b751e639 regressed arm linux kernel builds, that have an
ASSERT (((__hyp_idmap_text_end - (__hyp_idmap_text_start
& ~ (((0x1 << 0xc) - 0x1))))
<= (0x1 << 0xc)), HYP init code too big or misaligned)
Due to some insanity in ld expression evaluation, the integer values
0x1 and 0xc above are treated as absolute addresses (ie. they have an
associated section, *ABS*, see exp_fold_tree_1 case etree_value) while
the expression (0x1 << 0xc) has a plain number result. The left hand
side of the inequality happens to evaluate to a "negative" .text
section relative value. Comparing a section relative value against an
absolute value works since the section relative value is first
converted to absolute. Comparing a section relative value against a
number just compares the offsets, which fails since the "negative"
offset is really a very large positive number.
This patch works around the problem by folding integer expressions, so
the assert again becomes
ASSERT (((__hyp_idmap_text_end - (__hyp_idmap_text_start
& 0xfffffffffffff000))
<= 0x1000), HYP init code too big or misaligned)

The linker tries to put the end of the last section in the relro
segment exactly on a page boundary, because the relro segment itself
must end on a page boundary. If for any reason this can't be done,
padding is inserted. Since the end of the relro segment is typically
between .got and .got.plt, padding effectively increases the size of
the GOT. This isn't nice for targets and code models with limited GOT
addressing.
The problem with the current code is that it doesn't cope very well
with aligned sections in the relro segment. When making .got aligned
to a 256 byte boundary for PowerPC64, I found that often the initial
alignment attempt failed and the fallback attempt to be less than
adequate. This is a particular problem for PowerPC64 since the
distance between .got and .plt affects the size of plt call stubs,
leading to "stubs don't match calculated size" errors.
So this rewrite takes a direct approach to calculating a new relro
base. Starting from the last section in the segment, we calculate
where it must start to position its end on the boundary, or as near as
possible considering alignment requirements. The new start then
becomes the goal for the previous section to end, and so on for all
sections. This of course ignores the possibility that user scripts
will place . = ALIGN(xxx); in the relro segment, or provide section
address expressions. In those cases we might fail, but the old code
probably did too, and a fallback is provided.

Adjusting the start of the relro segment in order to make it end

relro segment are aligned; Adjusting the start by (next_page - end)
sometimes results in more than that adjustment occurring at the end,
overrunning the page boundary. So when that occurs we try a new lower
start position by masking the adjusted start with the maximum section
alignment. However, we didn't consider that this masked start address
may in fact be before the initial relro base, which is silly since
that can only increase padding at the relro end.
I've also moved some calculations closer to where they are used, and
