The .ARM.exidx table has an entry for each function with the first entry
giving the start address of the function, the table is sorted in ascending
order of function address. Given a PC value, the unwinder will search the
table for the entry that contains the PC value.
If the table entry happens to be the last, the range of the addresses that
the final unwinding table describes will extend to the end of the address
space. To prevent an incorrect address outside the address range of the
program matching the last entry we follow ld.bfd's example and add a
sentinel EXIDX_CANTUNWIND entry at the end of the table. This gives the
final real table entry an upper bound.
In addition the llvm libunwind unwinder currently depends on the presence
of a sentinel entry (PR31091).

llvm-svn: 287869
Add support for an ARM Target and the initial set of relocations
and PLT entries that are necessary for an ARM only hello world to
link. This has been tested against an ARM only sysroot from the
4.2.0 CodeSourcery Lite release.
Tests have been added to test/ELF for the support that has been
implemented.
Main limitations:
- No Thumb support
- Relocations incomplete
- No C++ exceptions support
- No TLS support
- No range extension or interworking veneer (thunk) support
- No Build Attribute support
- No Big-endian support
The deprecated relocations R_ARM_PLT32 and R_ARM_PC24 have been
implemented as these are used by the 4.2.0 CodeSourcery Lite release.
