When building with --enable-targets=all the target string is not set to
something that matches the pattern arc*-*, and so the script used to
decide if we should build big or little endian linker script currently
exits with an error.
This commit makes little endian linker script be the default, which will
be used when building for all targets, this matches the behaviour from
before I made the endianness switchable, when we only ever built little
endian linker scripts anyway.
ld/ChangeLog:
* emulparams/arc-endianness.sh: Make little endian default choice.
This aims to bring the linker for big-endian arc targets into line with
the linker for (the default) little endian arc targets.
The bulk of the changes are to extend the target pattern in the test
files from 'arc-*...' to 'arc*-*...' and so match both big and little
endian arc targets.
In the ld/emulparams/ directory the existing scripts checked for a
variable ARC_ENDIAN to switch between big and little endian targets,
however, this variable is never set up.
So, a new script snippet is introduced which sets up ARC_ENDIAN based on
the value of target, this snippet is then included from all of the
existing arc scripts.
The existing big-endian variants of all the scripts, which existed, but
were never used, are deleted in this commit.

Address of protected data defined in the shared library may be external,
i.e., due to copy relocation. By default, linker backend checks if
relocations against protected data symbols are valid for building shared
library and issues an error if relocation isn't allowed. The new option
override linker backend default. When -z noextern-protected-data is used,
updates on protected data symbols by another module won't be visibile
to the resulting shared library. This option is specific to ELF/i386
and ELF/x86-64.

The changes to reorder sections for better relro protection on powerpc64,
3e2b0f31, 23283c1b, and 5ad18f16, run into a problem with xlc.
xlc -qdatalocal puts global variables into .toc, which means that .toc
must be writable. The simplest way to accomplish this is to edit the
linker script to remove .toc sections from .got on detecting xlc object
files.

.toc1 is the second level TOC section used by gcc's -mminimal-toc. It
too should be read-only after relocation. Also, the last patch
description mentioned .sbss moving but didn't actually do that, so fix
that problem. .tocbss (whatever that is) was before .sbss previously,
so move that one too.

(OTHER_BSS_SYMBOLS): ..this.
(OTHER_PLT_RELOC_SECTIONS): Don't define.

(OTHER_RELRO_SECTIONS_2): ..here.
* scripttempl/elf.sc: Move SBSS too when DATA_SDATA.
This moves .got too, which requires .sdata and .sbss to move with it,
because these sections share addressing via the toc pointer and with
small-model code must be within a 16-bit signed offset. .plt, .iplt
and .branch_lt must also be moved since they are addressed via a
32-bit offset from the toc pointer, and we might have a very large
.data section.
This change means we may have some bss style sections before the data
segment, necessitating another PT_LOAD header. Also, since _edata is
defined at the end of the data segment it's possible with an empty
.data to have _edata at the end of .plt which looks a little unusual
since .plt is a bss style section. That should only happen rarely in
real world binaries, but does occur in the ld testsuite.

When there are both PLT and GOT references to the same function symbol,
linker will create a GOTPLT slot for PLT entry and a GOT slot for GOT
reference. A run-time JUMP_SLOT relocation is created to update the
GOTPLT slot and a run-time GLOB_DAT relocation is created to update the
GOT slot. Both JUMP_SLOT and GLOB_DAT relocations will apply the same
symbol value to GOTPLT and GOT slots, respectively, at run-time.
This optimization combines GOTPLT and GOT slots into a single GOT slot
and removes the run-time JUMP_SLOT relocation. It replaces the regular
PLT entry:
indirect jump [GOTPLT slot]
push relocation index
jump PLT0
with an GOT PLT entry with an indirect jump via the GOT slot:
indirect jump [GOT slot]
nop
and resolves PLT reference to the GOT PLT entry.
We must avoid this optimization if pointer equality is needed since
we don't clear symbol value in this case and the dynamic linker won't
update the GOT slot. Otherwise, the resulting binary will get into an
infinite loop at run-time.

1) _SDA_BASE_ and _SDA2_BASE_ and defined automatically, in a similar
manner to the way _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is handled. It's a little
more complicated to remove the symbols because _SDA_BASE_ needs to
be there if either .sdata or .sbss is present, and similarly for
_SDA2_BASE.
2) The linker created .sdata and .sdata2 sections used for
R_PPC_EMB_SDAI16 and R_PPC_EMB_SDA2I16 pointers are created early.
Nowadays we strip unneeded sections from the output, so it isn't
necessary to delay creating the sections.
3) The output section for targets of various SDA relocs is now checked
as per the ABI(s). We previously allowed .sdata.foo and similar,
most likely because at some stage we were checking input sections.
Also, the patch fixes a long-standing bug in size_input_sections
that affects the values of symbols defined in stripped input
sections.
