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.

The new behavior matches GNU objdump. A pair of angle brackets makes tests slightly easier.
`.foo:` is not unique and thus cannot be used in a `CHECK-LABEL:` directive.
Without `-LABEL`, the CHECK line can match the `Disassembly of section`
line and causes the next `CHECK-NEXT:` to fail.
```
Disassembly of section .foo:
0000000000001634 .foo:

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.

llvm-objdump can switch between ARM/Thumb states after D60927.
In a few lld tests, we run both
* llvm-objdump -d -triple=thumbv7a-none-linux-gnueabi %t
* llvm-objdump -d -triple=armv7a-none-linux-gnueabi %t
to test ARM/Thumb parts of the same file. In many cases we can just
run one command. There is a problem that prevents us from cleaning
more tests (e.g. test/ELF/arm-thumb-interwork-thunk.s):
In llvm-objdump, while we have ARM/Thumb (primary and secondary)
MCDisassembler and MCSubtargetInfo, we have just one MCInstrAnalysis
which is used to resolve the targets of calls in both ARM/Thumb parts.
// ThumbMCInstrAnalysis evaluating ARM parts or ARMMCInstrAnalysis evaluating Thumb parts
// will have incorrect offsets.
// An example of llvm-objdump -d -triple=thumbv7a on ARM part:
1304: 3d ff ff fa blx #-780 # no <...>
1308: 06 00 00 ea b #24 <arm_caller+0x24> # wrong target due to wrong offset

arm-plt-reloc.s arm-thumb-plt-reloc.s: update offset calculations
pack-dyn-relocs-loop.s: this test is very sensitive to exact section
offsets and sizes. If we comment out the following two lines in
SyntheticSections.cpp, we should reproduce `ld.lld: error: thunk
creation not converged` caused by oscillation of the section size.
if (RelocData.size() < OldSize)
RelocData.append(OldSize - RelocData.size(), 0);
Use -z norelro to counteract the layout change (to be more specific,
we have to place .dynamic below .foo so that offset(foo) remains 0x10004)
llvm-svn: 356229
Old: PT_LOAD(.data | PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .data .bss)
The placement of | indicates page alignment caused by PT_GNU_RELRO. The
new layout has simpler rules and saves space for many cases.
Old size: roundup(.data) + roundup(.data.rel.ro)
New size: roundup(.data.rel.ro + .bss.rel.ro) + .data
Other advantages:
* At runtime the 3 memory mappings decrease to 2.
* start(PT_TLS) = start(PT_GNU_RELRO) = start(RW PT_LOAD). This
simplifies binary manipulation tools.
GNU strip before 2.31 discards PT_GNU_RELRO if its
address is not equal to the start of its associated PT_LOAD.
This has been fixed by https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=f2731e0c374e5323ce4cdae2bcc7b7fe22da1a6f
But with this change, we will be compatible with GNU strip before 2.31
* Before, .got.plt (non-relro by default) was placed before .got (relro
by default), which made it impossible to have _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
(start of .got.plt on x86-64) equal to the end of .got (R_GOT*_FROM_END)
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36555). With the new ordering, we
can improve on this regard if we'd like to.

A more efficient PLT sequence can be used when the distance between the
.plt and the end of the .plt.got is less than 128 Megabytes, which is
frequently true. We fall back to the old sequence when the offset is larger
than 128 Megabytes. This gives us an alternative to forcing the longer
entries with --long-plt as we gracefully fall back to it as needed.
See ELF for the ARM Architecture Appendix A for details of the PLT sequence.

Mapping symbols allow a mapping symbol aware disassembler to
correctly disassemble the PLT when the code immediately prior to the
PLT is Thumb.
To implement this we add a function to add symbols with local

This is in preparation for my next change, which will introduce a relro
nobits section. That requires that relro sections appear at the end of the
progbits part of the r/w segment so that the relro nobits section can appear
contiguously.
Because of the amount of churn required in the test suite, I'm making this
change separately.

Add support for the R_ARM_THM relocations used in the objects present
in arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc. These are:
R_ARM_THM_CALL
R_ARM_THM_JUMP11
R_ARM_THM_JUMP19
R_ARM_THM_JUMP24
R_ARM_THM_MOVT_ABS
R_ARM_THM_MOVW_ABS_NC
Interworking between ARM and Thumb is partially supported with BLX.
The R_ARM_CALL relocation for ARM instructions and R_ARM_THM_CALL
relocation for Thumb instructions will write out a BL or BLX depending
on the state of the Target.
Assumptions:
- Availability of BLX and extended range of Thumb 4-byte Branch
instructions.
- In relocateOne if (Val & 0x1) == 1 target is Thumb, 0 is ARM.
This will hold for objects that comply with the ABI for the
ARM architecture.
This is sufficient for hello world to work with a recent
arm-linux-gnueabihf distribution.
Limitations:
No interworking for R_ARM_JUMP24, R_ARM_THM_JUMP24, R_ARM_THM_JUMP19
and the deprecated R_ARM_PLT32 and R_ARM_PC24 instructions as these
cannot be written out as a BLX and need a state change thunk.
No range extension thunks. The R_ARM_JUMP24 and R_ARM_THM_CALL have a
range of 16Mb
