This lets other programs read and write CTF-format data.
Two versioned shared libraries are created: libctf.so and
libctf-nobfd.so. They contain identical content except that
libctf-nobfd.so contains no references to libbfd and does not implement
ctf_open, ctf_fdopen, ctf_bfdopen or ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect, so it can be
used by programs that cannot use BFD, like readelf.
The soname major version is presently .0 until the linker API
stabilizes, when it will flip to .1 and hopefully never change again.

This is quite complicated because the CTF section's contents depend on
the final contents of the symtab and strtab, because it has two sections
whose contents are shuffled to be in 1:1 correspondence with the symtab,
and an internal strtab that gets deduplicated against the ELF strtab
(with offsets adjusted to point into the ELF strtab instead). It is
also compressed if large enough, so its size depends on its contents!
So we cannot construct it as early as most sections: we cannot even
*begin* construction until after the symtab and strtab are finalized.
Thankfully there is already one section treated similarly: compressed
debugging sections: the only differences are that compressed debugging
sections have extra handling to deal with their changing name if
compressed (CTF sections are always called ".ctf" for now, though we
have reserved ".ctf.*" against future use), and that compressed
debugging sections have previously-uncompressed content which has to be
stashed away for later compression, while CTF sections have no content
at all until we generate it (very late).
BFD also cannot do the link itself: libctf knows how to do it, and BFD
cannot call libctf directly because libctf already depends on bfd for
file I/O. So we have to use a pair of callbacks, one, examine_strtab,
which allows a caller to examine the symtab and strtab after
finalization (called from elf_link_swap_symbols_out(), right before the
symtabs are written, and after the strtab has been finalized), and one
which actually does the emission (called emit_ctf simply because it is
grouped with a bunch of section-specific late-emission function calls at
the bottom of bfd_elf_final_link, and a section-specific name seems best
for that). emit_ctf is actually called *twice*: once from lang_process
if the emulation suggests that this bfd target does not examine the
symtab or strtab, and once via a bfd callback if it does. (This means
that non-ELF targets still get CTF emitted, even though the late CTF
emission stage is never called for them).
v2: merged with non-ELF support patch: slight commit message
adjustments.
v3: do not spend time merging CTF, or crash, if the CTF section is
explicitly discarded. Do not try to merge or compress CTF unless
linking.
v4: add CTF_COMPRESSION_THRESHOLD. Annul the freed input ctf_file_t's
after writeout: set SEC_IN_MEMORY on the output contents so a future
bfd enhancement knows it could free it. Add SEC_LINKER_CREATED |
SEC_KEEP to avoid having to add .ctf to the linker script. Drop

it. Adapt to elf32.em->elf.em and elf-generic.em->ldelf*.c

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.

This fixes a problem with commit 128bf1fe60, a patch I made
2019-08-06. Apparently it is possible to trigger the assertion I
added during an LTO bootstrap, something I haven't reproduced.
However, I did find a case triggered by an odd linker script feature
that allows a file to be loaded from the script without specifying
that file on the command line. Regarding input sections:
"When you use a file name which is not an archive:file specifier
and does not contain any wild card characters, the linker will
first see if you also specified the file name on the linker command
line or in an INPUT command. If you did not, the linker will
attempt to open the file as an input file, as though it appeared on
the command line."
So putting
.foo : { foo.a(*) }
into a script supposedly extracts foo.a into .foo. Except it doesn't,
since this feature is meant for object files only. Well anyway,
assuming --whole-archive was given on the command line, foo.a contains
a -flto object and no other objects involved were -flto then we'll hit
the assert due to files added like foo.a here *not* having their input
statement put on the general statement list. Why these are not put on
the statement list isn't obvious but it has been that way since commit
193c5f93a1 in 1994.

This patch fixes a few linker crashes due to TLS code reaching an assert when it
shouldn't.
The first scenario is with weak TLS symbols that remain weak during linking. In
this case the mid-end would not have seen a TLS symbol and so wouldn't have
allocated the TLS section. We currently assert here and the linker crashes with
a not very useful message.
This patch changes this to return the value 0 for the TLS symbol in question
emulating what lld and gold and other BFD targets do. However because weak TLS
is implementation defined and we don't define any behavior for it I also emit a
warning to the user to inform them of such.
Secondly when a strong TLS reference is undefined. The linker crashes even after
it correctly reported that there is an undefined reference. This changes it so
that it gracefully exits and reports a useful error.

x86-64: Restore PIC check for PCREL reloc against protected symbol
moved PIC check for PC-relative relocations to elf_x86_64_check_relocs.
Since linker defined symbols may not be processed at the time, we need
to move the check back to elf_x86_64_relocate_section.

git commit 3e04d7655b introduced a bug by sizing output sections
earlier in ppc_before_allocation. That meant PLT (and GOT) sizes were
not included when calculating total executable section sizes.

This fixes a problem originally reported at
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-binutils-gdb/issues/173
If you have code linked at address zero, you can have a lui instruction
loading a value 0x800 which gets relaxed to a c.lui which is valid (c.lui 0x1
followed by addi -0x800). Relaxation can reduce the value below 0x800 at which
point the c.lui 0x0 is no longer valid. We can fix this by converting the
c.lui to a c.li which can load 0.

* elfnn-riscv.c (perform_relocation) <R_RISCV_RVC_LUI>: If
RISCV_CONST_HIGH_PART (value) is zero, then convert c.lui instruction
to c.li instruction, and use ENCODE_RVC_IMM to set value.
