Summary:
Based on Peter Collingbourne's suggestion in D56828.
Before D56828: PT_LOAD(.data PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) .bss)
Old: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) .data .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro)) PT_LOAD(.data. .bss)
The new layout reflects the runtime memory mappings.
By having two PT_LOAD segments, we can utilize the NOBITS part of the
first PT_LOAD and save bytes for .bss.rel.ro.
.bss.rel.ro is currently small and only used by copy relocations of
symbols in read-only segments, but it can be used for other purposes in
the future, e.g. if a relro section's statically relocated data is all
zeros, we can move it to .bss.rel.ro.

That was requested by Mark Kettenis in llvm-dev:
"It is the intention that .openbsd.randomdata sections are made
read-only after initialization. The native (ld.bfd based) OpenBSD
toolchain accomplishes this by including .openbsd.randomdata into the
PT_GNU_RELRO segment."
He suggested code change, I added testcase.

Align to the large page size (known as a superpage or huge page).
FreeBSD automatically promotes large, superpage-aligned allocations.

We were creating the copy relocations just fine, but then thinking that
the .bss position could be preempted and creating a dynamic relocation
to it, which would crash at runtime since that memory is read only.

Before this patch sections that go after relro sequence were placed at
the same memory page with relro ones. It caused segmentation fault on
freebsd.
Fixes PR25790.
Patch by George Rimar with some tweaks by myself.
llvm-svn: 256334
Partial (-z relro) and full (-z relro, -z now) relro cases are implemented.
Partial relro:
The ELF sections are reordered so that the ELF internal data sections (.got, .dtors, etc.) precede the program's data sections (.data and .bss).
.got is readonly, .got.plt is still writeable.
Full relro:
Supports all the features of partial RELRO, .got.plt is also readonly.
