If the jansson library is available at build time (and it is explicitly
enabled), link ld to it, and use it to validate that the input is
correct JSON, to avoid writing garbage to the file. The
configure option --enable-jansson has to be used to explicitly enable
it (error out when not found). This allows bootstrappers (or others who
are not interested) to seamlessly skip it without issues.
This amends e961c696dc ("x86: drop L1OM/K1OM support from ld"). Also
remove the marker that I mistakenly added in c085ab00c7 ("x86: drop
L1OM/K1OM support from gas").
Add a -z pack-relative-relocs option to enable DT_RELR and create a
relr.dyn section for DT_RELR. DT_RELR is implemented with the linker
relaxation infrastructure, but it doesn't require the --relax option
enabled. -z pack-relative-relocs implies -z combreloc. -z nocombreloc
implies -z nopack-relative-relocs.
-z pack-relative-relocs is chosen over the similar option in lld,
--pack-dyn-relocs=relr, to implement a glibc binary lockout mechanism
with a special glibc version symbol, to avoid random crashes of DT_RELR
binaries with the existing glibc binaries.

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.

--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.

I think it is past time to remove CR16C support. CR16C was added in
2004, and only for ld. gas and binutils support is lacking, and there
have been no commits to bfd/elf32-cr16c.c other than warning fixes or
global maintainers making changes to all targets. I see no maintainer
listed for CR16C, and no commits from anyone at NSC supporting the
target. Furthermore, at the time the CR16 support was added in 2007,
config.sub was changed upstream to no longer recognise cr16c as a
valid cpu. That means the CR16C ld support is only available as a
secondary target by configuring with, for example,
--enable-targets=all or --enable-targets=cr16c-unknown-elf. No
testing of the CR16C target is possible.
