The AArch64 TLSDESC to IE relaxation code uses a bit mask intended to
ensure that destination register in a relaxed ldr instruction is
always X0. The mask has an off by one error resulting in the most
significant bit of the destination register being retained in the
relaxed instruction. The issue generally appears when the compiler
emits TLS accesses code under high register pressure resulting in a
broken code sequence.

converts some address expressions into absolute values, but the PE format
only stores absolutes as 32-bits. This is a partial solution which attempts
to convert such absolute values back to section relative ones instead. It
fails for symbols like __image_base and ImageBase__, but it is unclear as to
whether these values are ever actually used by applications.

I got the ppc476 workaround wrong. bctr (and bctrl) as the last
instruction in a page can hit the icache bug if the preceding mtctr
insn is close by, and the destination is in the first few instructions
on the next page. This scenario can occur with code generated by gcc
to implement switch statements, or in code generated to call by
function pointer.
To prevent the bctr problem it is also necessary to remove other
instructions that otherwise would be safe.

When a VDSO gets large enough that it doesn't entirely fit in one page,
but not so large that the part described by the program header exceeds
one page, then gdb/BFD doesn't read the section headers and symbol
table information. This patch cures that by passing the size of the
vdso to BFD, and fixes a number of other issues in the BFD code.
