For the record, GNU ld changed to 64k max page size in 2014
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=7572ca8989ead4c3425a1500bc241eaaeffa2c89
"[RFC] ld/ARM: Increase maximum page size to 64kB"
Android driver forced 4k page size in AArch64 (D55029) and ARM (D77746).
A binary linked with max-page-size=4096 does not run on a system with a
higher page size configured. There are some systems out there that do
this and it leads to the binary getting `Killed!` by the kernel.
In the non-linker-script cases, when linked with -z noseparate-code
(default), the max-page-size increase should not cause any size
difference. There may be some VMA usage differences, though.

MC will now output the R_ARM_THM_PC8, R_ARM_THM_PC12 and
R_ARM_THM_PREL_11_0 relocations. These are short-ranged relocations that
are used to implement the adr rd, literal and ldr rd, literal pseudo
instructions.
The instructions use a new RelExpr called R_ARM_PCA in order to calculate
the required S + A - Pa expression, where Pa is AlignDown(P, 4) as the
instructions add their immediate to AlignDown(PC, 4). We also do not want
these relocations to generate or resolve against a PLT entry as the range
of these relocations is so short they would never reach.
The R_ARM_THM_PC8 has a special encoding convention for the relocation
addend, the immediate field is unsigned, yet the addend must be -4 to
account for the Thumb PC bias. The ABI (not the architecture) uses the
convention that the 8-byte immediate of 0xff represents -4.

Recommit of 0b4a047bfb
(reverted in c29003813a) to incorporate
subsequent fix and add a warning when LLD's interworking behavior has
changed.
D73474 disabled the generation of interworking thunks for branch
relocations to non STT_FUNC symbols. This patch handles the case of BL and
BLX instructions to non STT_FUNC symbols. LLD would normally look at the
state of the caller and the callee and write a BL if the states are the
same and a BLX if the states are different.
This patch disables BL/BLX substitution when the destination symbol does
not have type STT_FUNC. This brings our behavior in line with GNU ld which
may prevent difficult to diagnose runtime errors when switching to lld.
This change does change how LLD handles interworking of symbols that do not
have type STT_FUNC from previous versions including the 10.0 release. This
brings LLD in line with ld.bfd but there may be programs that have not been
linked with ld.bfd that depend on LLD's previous behavior. We emit a warning
when the behavior changes.
A summary of the difference between 10.0 and 11.0 is that for symbols
that do not have a type of STT_FUNC LLD will not change a BL to a BLX or
vice versa. The table below enumerates the changes
| relocation | STT_FUNC | bit(0) | in | 10.0- out | 11.0+ out |
| R_ARM_CALL | no | 1 | BL | BLX | BL |
| R_ARM_CALL | no | 0 | BLX | BL | BLX |
| R_ARM_THM_CALL | no | 1 | BLX | BL | BLX |
| R_ARM_THM_CALL | no | 0 | BL | BLX | BL |

There are still problems after the fix in
"[ELF][ARM] Fix regression of BL->BLX substitution after D73542"
so let's revert to get trunk back to green while we investigate.

Port the D64906 technique to ARM. It deletes 3 alignments at
PT_LOAD boundaries for the default case: the size of an arm binary
decreases by at most 12kb.

This improves readability and the behavior is consistent with GNU objdump.

Given
.weak target
.global _start
_start:
b target
The intention is that the branch goes to the instruction after the
branch, effectively turning it on a nop. The branch adds the runtime
PC, but we were adding it statically too.
I noticed the oddity by inspection, but llvm-objdump seems to agree,
since it now prints things like:
b #-4 <_start+0x4>

The ARM 32 and 64-bit ABI does not use 0 for undefined weak references
that are used in PC relative relocations. In particular:
- A branch relocation to an undefined weak resolves to the next
instruction. Effectively making the branch a no-op
- In all other cases the symbol resolves to the place so that S + A - P
resolves to A.
