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.

This improves readability and the behavior is consistent with GNU objdump.
The new test test/tools/llvm-objdump/X86/disassemble-section-name.s
checks we print newlines before and after "Disassembly of section ...:"

Recommit r356666 with fixes for buildbot failure, as well as handling for
--emit-relocs, which we decide not to emit any relocation sections as the
table is already position independent and an offline tool can deduce the
relocations.
Instead of creating extra Synthetic .ARM.exidx sections to account for
gaps in the table, create a single .ARM.exidx SyntheticSection that can
derive the contents of the gaps from a sorted list of the executable
InputSections. This has the benefit of moving the ARM specific code for
SyntheticSections in SHF_LINK_ORDER processing and the table merging code
into the ARM specific SyntheticSection. This also makes it easier to create
EXIDX_CANTUNWIND table entries for executable InputSections that don't
have an associated .ARM.exidx section.

When -ffunction-sections and ARM C++ exceptions are used each .text.suffix
section will have at least one .ARM.exidx.suffix section and may have an
additional .ARM.extab.suffix section if the unwinding instructions are too
large to inline into the .ARM.exidx table entry. For a large program without
a linker script this can lead to a large number of section header table
entries that can increase the size of the ELF file.
This change introduces a default rule for .ARM.extab.* to be placed in
a single output section called .ARM.extab . This follows the behavior of
ld.gold and ld.bfd.

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).

Since the output has a section table too, it is meaningful to compute
the sh_link. In a more practical note, the binutils' strip crashes if
sh_link is not set for SHT_ARM_EXIDX.
llvm-svn: 287280
The .ARM.exidx sections contain a table. Each entry has two fields:
- PREL31 offset to the function the table entry describes
- Action to take, either cantunwind, inline unwind, or PREL31 offset to
.ARM.extab section
The table entries must be sorted in order of the virtual addresses the
first entry of the table describes. Traditionally this is implemented by
the SHF_LINK_ORDER dependency. Instead of implementing this directly we
sort the table entries post relocation.
The .ARM.exidx OutputSection is described by the PT_ARM_EXIDX program
header
