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.

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.

Summary:
Our rule to create R_*_RELATIVE for absolute relocation types were
loose. D63121 made it stricter but it failed to create R_*_RELATIVE for
R_ARM_TARGET1 and R_PPC64_TOC. rLLD363236 worked around that by
reinstating the original behavior for ARM and PPC64.
This patch is an attempt to simplify the logic.
Note, in ld.bfd, R_ARM_TARGET2 --target2=abs also creates
R_ARM_RELATIVE. This seems a very uncommon scenario (moreover,
--target2=got-rel is the default), so I do not implement any logic
related to it.
Also, delete R_AARCH64_ABS32 from AArch64::getDynRel. We don't have
working ILP32 support yet. Allowing it would create an incorrect
R_AARCH64_RELATIVE.
For MIPS, the (if SymbolRel, then RelativeRel) code is to keep its
behavior unchanged.
Note, in ppc64-abs64-dyn.s, R_PPC64_TOC gets an incorrect addend because
computeAddend() doesn't compute the correct address. We seem to have the
wrong behavior for a long time. The important thing seems that a dynamic
relocation R_PPC64_TOC should not be created as the dynamic loader will
error R_PPC64_TOC is not supported.

Also change some options that have different semantics (cause confusion) in llvm-readelf mode:
-s => -S
-t => --symbols
-sd => --section-data
llvm-svn: 359651
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.

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 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.
