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:

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.

ELF for the ARM architecture requires linkers to provide
interworking for symbols that are of type STT_FUNC. Interworking for
other symbols must be encoded directly in the object file. LLD was always
providing interworking, regardless of the symbol type, this breaks some
programs that have branches from Thumb state targeting STT_NOTYPE symbols
that have bit 0 clear, but they are in fact internal labels in a Thumb
function. LLD treats these symbols as ARM and inserts a transition to Arm.
This fixes the problem for in range branches, R_ARM_JUMP24,
R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 and R_ARM_THM_JUMP19. This is expected to be the vast
majority of problem cases as branching to an internal label close to the
function.
There is at least one follow up patch required.
- R_ARM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_CALL may do interworking via BL/BLX
substitution.
In theory range-extension thunks can be altered to not change state when
the symbol type is not STT_FUNC. I will need to check with ld.bfd to see if
this is the case in practice.
