Igor Kudrin 657e067bb5 [ARMInstPrinter] Print the target address of a branch instruction
This follows other patches that changed printing immediate values of
branch instructions to target addresses, see D76580 (x86), D76591 (PPC),
D77853 (AArch64).

As observing immediate values might sometimes be useful, they are
printed as comments for branch instructions.

Fangrui Song 71e2ca6e32 [llvm-objdump] -d: print `00000000 <foo>:` instead of `00000000 foo:`
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:
```

Bdragon: <> has metalinguistic connotation. it just "feels right"

Peter Smith ea99ce5e9b [ELF][ARM] Implement --fix-cortex-a8 to fix erratum 657417
The --fix-cortex-a8 option implements a linker workaround for the
coretex-a8 erratum 657417. A summary of the erratum conditions is:
- A 32-bit Thumb-2 branch instruction B.w, Bcc.w, BL, BLX spans two
4KiB regions.
- The destination of the branch is to the first 4KiB region.
- The instruction before the branch is a 32-bit Thumb-2 non-branch
instruction.

The linker fix is to redirect the branch to a patch not in the first
4KiB region. The patch forwards the branch on to its target.

The cortex-a8, is an old CPU, with the first implementation of this
workaround in ld.bfd appearing in 2009. The cortex-a8 has been used in
early Android Phones and there are some critical applications that still
need to run on a cortex-a8 that have the erratum. The patch is applied
roughly 10 times on LLD and 20 on Clang when they are built with
--fix-cortex-a8 on an Arm system.

The formal erratum description is avaliable in the ARM Core Cortex-A8
(AT400/AT401) Errata Notice document. This is available from Arm on
request but it seems to be findable via a web search.
