When using a bss-plt we'll always trigger the RWX warning, which
disturbs gcc test results. On the other hand, there may be reason to
want the warning when gcc is configured with --enable-secureplt.
So turning off the warning entirely for powerpc might not be the best
solution. Instead, we'll turn off the warning whenever a bss-plt is
generated, unless the user explicitly asked for the warning.

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

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 makes ld accept and ignore -plugin options when configured
with --disable-plugins. The idea is to allow using a linker built
without plugin support with a gcc built with plugin support. Quite
obviously such a combination won't work if using LTO, but gcc has a
habit of passing a bunch of -plugin and -plugin-opt arguments to ld
even when not generating or linking LTO objects.
Why do I want to do this? Well, it lets me and other binutils
developers answer the question as to whether plugin support breaks
binutils in some areas. Which it does for some targets.

--export-dynamic-symbol-list is like a dynamic list, but without

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.

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).

strtab.
(struct ctf_strsym_iter_cb_arg): New, state to do so.
(ldelf_ctf_strtab_iter_cb): New: tell libctf about
each string in the strtab in turn.

Despite PR19615, it doesn't make sense to use -Bsymbolic with PIEs.
Dynamic symbols in an executable won't be overridden anyway.
* ld.texi (-Bsymbolic, -Bsymbolic-functions): Don't mention PIEs.
* ld.h (symbolic_enum, dynamic_list_enum),
(args_type <symbolic, dynamic_list>): Move to..
* lexsup.c (parse_args): ..here, using auto vars opt_symbolic
and opt_dynamic_list rather than command_line fields. Only
act on -Bsymbolic and -Bsymbolic-functions for shared library
output. Free dynamic_list.
