The hack is irrelevant for two reasons:
* binutils 2.24 is quite old and cannot handle R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX from 2016 onwards anyway
* `canMergeToProgbits` allows combining SHT_INIT_ARRAY/SHT_FINI_ARRAY into SHT_PROGBITS
For a function call (using the default `-fplt`), GCC `-mcmodel=large` generates an assembly modifier which
leads to an R_X86_64_PLTOFF64 relocation. In real world,
http://git.ageinghacker.net/jitter (used by GNU poke) uses `-mcmodel=large`.
R_X86_64_PLTOFF64's formula is (if preemptible) `L - GOT + A` or (if non-preemptible) `S - GOT + A`
where `GOT` is (confusingly) the address of `.got.plt`

GNU ld doesn't support `--no-pic-executable`.
`-p` has been removed from likely the only use case (Linux kernel) for over 2.5 years: https://git.kernel.org/linus/091bb549f7722723b284f63ac665e2aedcf9dec9
`--no-add-needed` was the pre-binutils-2.23 spelling for `--no-copy-dt-needed-entries`.
The legacy alias is irrelevant in 2021.
If segments are defined in a linker script, placing an orphan section
before the found closest-rank section can result in adding it in a
previous segment and changing flags of that segment. This happens if
the orphan section has a lower sort rank than the found section. To
avoid that, the patch forces orphan sections to be moved after the
found section if segments are explicitly defined.

The ARM backend was explicitly setting global binding on the personality
symbol. This was added without any comment in a7ec2dcefd, which
introduced EHABI support (back in 2011). None of the other backends do
anything equivalent, as far as I can tell.
This causes problems when attempting to wrap the personality symbol.
Wrapped symbols are marked as weak inside LTO to inhibit IPO (see
https://reviews.llvm.org/D33621). When we wrap the personality symbol,
it initially gets weak binding, and then the ARM backend attempts to
change the binding to global, which causes an error in MC because of
attempting to change the binding of a symbol from non-global to global
(the error was added in https://reviews.llvm.org/D90108).
Simply drop the ARM backend's explicit global binding setting to fix
this. This matches all the other backends, and a large internal
application successfully linked and ran with this change, so it
shouldn't cause any problems. Test via LLD, since wrapping is required
to exhibit the issue.

(As I mentioned in https://reviews.llvm.org/D62609#1534158 ,
the condition for using bti c for executable can be loosened.)
In two cases the address of a PLT may escape:
* canonical PLT entry for a STT_FUNC
* non-preemptible STT_GNU_IFUNC which is converted to STT_FUNC
The first case can be detected with `needsPltAddr`.
The second case is not straightforward to detect because for the Relocations.cpp
created `directSym`, it's difficult to know whether the associated `sym` has
exercised the `!needsPlt(expr)` code path. Just use the conservative `isInIplt`
condition. A non-preemptible ifunc not referenced by non-GOT-generating
non-PLT-generating relocations will have an unneeded `bti c`, but the cost is acceptable.
The second case fixes a bug as well: a -shared link may have non-preemptible ifunc.
Before the patch we did not emit `bti c` and could be wrong if the PLT address escaped.
GNU ld doesn't handle the case: `relocation R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 against STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol 'ifunc2' isn't handled by elf64_aarch64_final_link_relocate` (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28370)
For -shared, if BTI is enabled but PAC is disabled, the PLT entry size increases
from 16 to 24 because we have to select the PLT scheme early, but the cost is
acceptable.

Similar to D69607 but for archive member extraction unrelated to GC. This patch adds --why-extract=.
Prior art:
GNU ld -M prints
```
Archive member included to satisfy reference by file (symbol)
a.a(a.o) main.o (a)
b.a(b.o) (b())
```
-M is mainly for input section/symbol assignment <-> output section mapping
(often huge output) and the information may appear ad-hoc.

```
__Z1bv forced load of b.a(b.o)
_a forced load of a.a(a.o)

...
Loading member vsnprintf.o from c_wfu.l.

```
---
--why-extract= gives the user the full data (which is much shorter than GNU ld
-Map). It is easy to track a chain of references to one archive member with a
one-liner, e.g.
```
% ld.lld main.o a_b.a b_c.a c.a -o /dev/null --why-extract=- | tee stdout
reference extracted symbol
main.o a_b.a(a_b.o) a
a_b.a(a_b.o) b_c.a(b_c.o) b()
b_c.a(b_c.o) c.a(c.o) c()
% ruby -ane 'BEGIN{p={}}; p[$F[1]]=[$F[0],$F[2]] if $.>1; END{x="c.a(c.o)"; while y=p[x]; puts "#{y[0]} extracts #{x} to resolve #{y[1]}"; x=y[0] end}' stdout
b_c.a(b_c.o) extracts c.a(c.o) to resolve c()
a_b.a(a_b.o) extracts b_c.a(b_c.o) to resolve b()
main.o extracts a_b.a(a_b.o) to resolve a
```
Archive member extraction happens before --gc-sections, so this may not be a live path
under --gc-sections, but I think it is a good approximation in practice.

Copy relocation on a non-default version symbol is unsupported and can crash at
runtime. Fortunately there is a one-line fix which works for most cases:
ensure `getSymbolsAt` unconditionally returns `ss`.
If two non-default version symbols are defined at the same place and both
are copy relocated, our implementation will copy relocated them into different
addresses. The pointer inequality is very unlikely an issue. In GNU ld, copy
relocating version aliases seems to create more pointer inequality problems than
us.
(
In glibc, sys_errlist@GLIBC_2.2.5 sys_errlist@GLIBC_2.3 sys_errlist@GLIBC_2.4
are defined at the same place, but it is unlikely they are all copy relocated in
one executable. Even if so, the variables are read-only and pointer inequality
should not be a problem.

Due to an assembler design flaw (IMO), `.symver foo,foo@v1` produces two symbols `foo` and `foo@v1` if `foo` is defined.
* `v1 {};` produces both `foo` and `foo@v1`, but GNU ld only produces `foo@v1`
* `v1 { foo; };` produces both `foo@@v1` and `foo@v1`, but GNU ld only produces `foo@v1`
* `v2 { foo; };` produces both `foo@@v2` and `foo@v1`, matching GNU ld. (Tested by symver.s)
This patch implements the GNU ld behavior by reusing the symbol redirection mechanism
in D92259. The new test symver-non-default.s checks the first two cases.
Without the patch, the second case will produce `foo@v1` and `foo@@v1` which
looks weird and makes foo unnecessarily default versioned.
Note: `.symver foo,foo@v1,remove` exists but the unfortunate `foo` will not go

This option is a subset of -Bsymbolic-functions. It applies to STB_GLOBAL
STT_FUNC definitions.
The address of a vague linkage function (STB_WEAK STT_FUNC, e.g. an inline
function, a template instantiation) seen by a -Bsymbolic-functions linked
shared object may be different from the address seen from outside the shared
object. Such cases are uncommon. (ELF/Mach-O programs may use
`-fvisibility-inlines-hidden` to break such pointer equality. On Windows,
correct dllexport and dllimport are needed to make pointer equality work.
Windows link.exe enables /OPT:ICF by default so different inline functions may
have the same address.)
```
// a.cc -> a.o -> a.so (-Bsymbolic-functions)
inline void f() {}
void *g() { return (void *)&f; }
// b.cc -> b.o -> exe
// The address is different!
inline void f() {}
```
-Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions is a safer (C++ conforming) subset of
-Bsymbolic-functions, which can make such programs work.
Implementations usually emit a vague linkage definition in a COMDAT group. We
could detect the group (with more code) but I feel that we should just check
STB_WEAK for simplicity. A weak definition will thus serve as an escape hatch
for rare cases when users want interposition on definitions.
