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/.

The symbol string table in the .symtab section is optional and cosmetic.
The contents of the .symtab section have no impact on run-time execution.
The symbol names in the symbol string table help distinguish addresses at
different locations. Add a linker option, -z unique-symbol, to avoid
duplicated local symbol names in the symbol string table.
This feature was well received by the livepatch maintainers. It not only
solves the duplicated local symbol name problem, but also would allow
livepatch to more precisely locate duplicate symbols in general for
patching.

libctf recently changed to make it possible to not emit the CTF
variables section. Make this the default for ld: the variables section
is a simple name -> type mapping, and the names can be quite voluminous.
Nothing in the variables section appears in the symbol table, by
definition, so GDB cannot make use of them: special-purpose projects
that implement their own analogues of symbol table lookup can do so, but
they'll need to tell the linker to emit the variables section after all.
The new --ctf-variables option does this.
The --ctf-share-types option (valid values "share-duplicated" and
"share-unconflicted") allow the caller to specify the CTF link mode.
Most users will want share-duplicated, since it allows for more
convenient debugging: but very large projects composed of many decoupled
components may want to use share-unconflicted mode, which places types
that appear in only one TU into per-TU dicts. (They may also want to
relink the CTF using the ctf_link API and cu-mapping, to make their
"components" larger than a single TU. Right now the linker does not
expose the CU-mapping machinery. Perhaps it should in future to make
this use case easier.)
For now, giving the linker the ability to emit share-duplicated CTF lets
us add testcases for that mode to the testsuite.

This patch better supports mixing of power10 and non-power10 code,
as might be seen in a cpu-optimized library using ifuncs to select
functions optimized for a given cpu. Using -Wl,--no-power10-stubs
isn't that good in this situation since non-power10 notoc stubs are
slower and larger than the power10 variants, which you'd like to use
on power10 code paths.
With this change, power10 pc-relative code that makes calls marked
@notoc uses power10 stubs if stubs are necessary, and other calls use
non-power10 instructions in stubs. This will mean that if gcc is
generating code for -mcpu=power10 but with pc-rel disabled then you'll
get the older stubs even on power10 (unless you force with
-Wl,--power10-stubs). That shouldn't be too big a problem: stubs that
use r2 are reasonable. It's just the ones that set up addressing
using "mflr 12; bcl 20,31,.+4; mflr 11; mtlr 12" that should be
avoided if possible.

--export-dynamic-symbol-list is like a dynamic list, but without
the symbolic property for unspecified symbols.
When creating an executable, --export-dynamic-symbol-list is treated
like --dynamic-list.
When creating a shared library, it is treated like --dynamic-list if
-Bsymbolic or --dynamic-list are used, otherwise, it is ignored, so
that references to matched symbols will not be bound to the definitions
within the shared library.

Commit 9e7028aa1e ("PowerPC64 __tls_get_addr_desc") introduced a use
of @option which apparently newer makeinfo tolerates, but older ones
reject. Drop the unnecessary (a per all other uses of @option) blank.
This implements register saving and restoring in the __tls_get_addr
call stub, so that when glibc supports the optimized tls call stub gcc
can generate code that assumes only r0, r12 and of course r3 are
changed on a __tls_get_addr call. When gcc expects __tls_get_addr
calls to preserve registers the call will be to __tls_get_addr_desc,
which will be translated by the linker to a call to __tls_get_addr_opt.

I was looking at the implementation of this script keyword today and
couldn't remember why we do what we do in get_init_priority, because
the comments explain how the init_priority is encoded but don't say
why it is necessary to extract the priority and sort on that. So
after figuring out why (again), I wrote some more comments.
Then I simplified get_init_priority a little, adding some sanity
checking on the strtoul result. This actually makes get_init_priority
support sorting by numerical suffix more generally, but I figure this
feature would be better as a new keyword (without the .ctors/.dtors
special case), so haven't documented the extension.

Mention in the description of the `-rpath' LD option the restrictions

Correct example.
When a wrapper symbol, __wrap_FOO, is defined in IR, its resolution
should be LDPR_PREVAILING_DEF, not PREVAILING_DEF_IRONLY, since LTO
doesn't know that __wrap_FOO provides definition of FOO. And resolution
of FOO should be LDPR_RESOLVED_IR since it is resolved by __wrap_FOO in
IR.

Add a new option to disable the listing of discarded sections
in map file output. The use case stems from a large application
built with -ffunction-sections --gc-sections where the list of
discarded sections blows up the map file output. The default
behaviour remains to print discarded sections, but the new option
allows us to disable it.
