The need for this has disappeared with dc12032bca ("Remove m68k-aout
and m68k-coff support"); avoid the unnecessary indirection.
Sadly, with ld/pe-dll.c using the wrapper, the removal requires moving
the declaration out of libcoff.h, to properly export the underlying BFD
function.
NULL is a possible return from bfd_section_already_linked_table_lookup

Commit 8d97c1a53f claimed to replace all einfo calls using %F with

adds a "fatal" to linker callbacks, and replaces those calls in bfd/

asymbol flags zero can result from certain combinations of ELF st_info
binding and type. asymbol section is set to bfd_abs_section for
genuine absolute symbols and also ones with a bogus st_shndx. A
fuzzed ELF object with such a symbol can tickle a bug in generic
linker code added by commit d3a65d4dea to avoid an abort, resulting
in a segfault. This patch fixes the segfault by removing the
sym->section->owner->flags test. I think it should be OK to exclude
all symbols without any BSF flags set, not just IR symbols.

This fixes leaks of outsymbols for various targets that use the
generic linker. The key fix here is to not generate output symbols
for targets that won't ever write symbols, and of course to free
outsymbols after they've been written in targets that do. Target
vector object_flags and section_flags are updated to better reflect
target capabilities, in particular not setting HAS_SYMS or SEC_RELOC
when the target does not support symbols or relocs.

This field is always set to point to asection.symbol, and no code ever

creates two sections with separate pointers to their symbols, and uses
those as asection.symbol_ptr_ptr. Those pointers aren't modified,
so they disappear in this patch too.
Add wrapper_symbol to bfd_link_hash_entry and set it to true for wrapper
symbol. Set wrap_status to wrapper if wrapper_symbol is true in LTO.
Note: Calling unwrap_hash_lookup to check for the wrapper symbol works
only when there is a definition for the wrapped symbol since references
to the wrapped symbol have been redirected to the wrapper symbol.

Commit 726d7d1ecf opened a hole that allowed a u.i.link loop to be
created, resulting in _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol never
returning. Fix that. Note that the MIND case handles two types of
redefinition. For a new indirect symbol we'll have string non-NULL.
For a new def, string will be NULL. So moving the string comparison
earlier would work. However, we've already looked up inh in the first
case so can dispense with name comparisons. Either way, for a new def
we'll get to the defweak test and possibly cycle. Which is what we
want here.

bfd/doc/chew.c extracts documentation from source code comments
annotated with keywords, and generates much of bfd.h and libbfd.h from
those same comments. The docs have suffered from people (me too)
adding things like CODE_FRAGMENT to the source to put code into bfd.h
without realising that CODE_FRAGMENT also puts @example around said
code into the docs. So we have random senseless things in the docs.
This patch fixes that problem (well, the senseless things from
CODE_FRAGMENT), moves most of the code out of bfd-in.h, and improves a
few chew.c features. libbfd.h now automatically gets ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN
prototypes, and indentation in bfd.h and libbfd.h is better.
The newer update-copyright.py fixes file encoding too, removing cr/lf

This patch removes the bfd_malloc in default_indirect_link_order and
bfd_simple_get_relocated_section_contents, pushing the allocation down
to bfd_get_relocated_section_contents. The idea is to make use of the
allocation done with sanity checking in bfd_get_full_section_contents,
which is called by bfd_generic_get_relocated_section_contents.
Doing this exposed a bug in bfd_get_full_section_contents. With
relaxation it is possible that an input section rawsize is different
to the section size. In that case we want to use the larger of
rawsize (the on-disk size for input sections) and size.

When linking an undecorated reference to foo against such a shared
library, ld complains about multiple definitions of foo@v1 while gold
creates a dynamic reference to foo@v1. That results in foo@v1 being
used at runtime.
While we could error in both cases, it is reasonable to say foo@v1 and
foo@@v1 are in fact the same symbol. (Same name, same version. The
only real difference is that foo@@v1 satisfies a reference to plain
foo, while foo@v1 does not.) Just as merging a weak undecorated sym
with a strong sym results in the strong sym prevailing, so should the
strong foo@v1 prevail. And since there is a definition that satisfies
plain foo, the foo@@v1 variety of dynamic symbol should be emitted at
the foo@v1 value. That makes the testcase that currently links
continue to produce a shared library, and that shared library can now
be used by both ld and gold with the same runtime behaviour as when
using gold with the odd dynamic symbol library.

testsuite failure linking to S-records. That's because the srec
target is BFD_ENDIAN_UNKNOWN so the test of bfd_big_endian (abfd) in
default_data_link_order therefore returned false, resulting in a
little-endian nop pattern. The rest of the patch fixes that problem
by adding a new field to bfd_link_info that can be used to determine
actual endianness on targets like srec.

Even though the generic ELF target doesn't handle groups correctly,
this helps avoid a segfault in bfd_elf_set_group_contents seen on
d30v-elf, dlx-elf, pj-elf, and xgate-elf when linking the pr22836
testcase.

Commit 2bf2bf23da exposed a bug on targets that create common sections
other than the standard ELF SHN_COMMON. If these are output by ld -r,
then their type becomes SHT_PROGBITS unless the target handles them
specially (eg. by elf_backend_special_sections), and if they are
merged into .bss/.sbss by ld -r then that section becomes SHT_PROGBITS.
Worse, if they are output by ld -r, then their size is increased by
bfd_generic_define_common_symbol during final link, which leads to
bogus file contents being copied to output.
For mips, it seems to me that the .scommon section should not be
output for ld -r, but I haven't made that change in this patch.

It is usually possible to tell absolute and ordinary symbols apart in
BFD throughout the link, by checking whether the section that owns the
symbol is absolute or not.
That however does not work for ordinary symbols defined in a linker
script outside an output section statement. Initially such symbols are
entered into to the link hash as absolute symbols, owned by the absolute
section. A flag is set in the internal linker expression defining such
symbols to tell the linker to convert them to section-relative ones in
the final phase of the link. That flag is however not accessible to BFD
linker code, including BFD target code in particular.
Add a flag to the link hash then to copy the information held in the
linker expression. Define a macro, `bfd_is_abs_symbol', for BFD code to
use where determining whether a symbol is absolute or ordinary is
required before the final link phase.
This macro will correctly identify the special `__ehdr_start' symbol as
ordinary throughout link, for example, even though early on it will be
assigned to the absolute section. Of course this does not let BFD code
identify what the symbol's ultimate section will be before the final
link phase has converted this symbol (in `update_definedness').
