Fangrui Song b159906a9a [test] Change llvm-readobj -long-option to --long-option or well-known short options. NFC
Also change some options that have different semantics (cause confusion) in llvm-readelf mode:

-s => -S
-t => --symbols
-sd => --section-data

Fangrui Song 07f8daf05e [ELF] Simplify RelRo, TLS, NOBITS section ranks and make RW PT_LOAD start with RelRo
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.

Rafael Espindola e05e2f8b34 Keep some relocations with undefined weak symbols.
This fixes pr34301.

As the bug points out, we want to keep some relocations with undefined
weak symbols. This means that we cannot always claim that these
symbols are not preemptible as we do now.

Unfortunately, we cannot also just always claim that they are
preemptible. Doing so would, for example, cause us to try to create a
plt entry when we don't even have a dynamic symbol table.

What almost works is to say that weak undefined symbols are
preemptible if and only if we have a dynamic symbol table. Almost
because we don't want to fail the build trying to create a copy
relocation to a weak undefined.

Peter Collingbourne 6a4225962d ELF: Forbid all relative relocations to absolute symbols in PIC, except for weak undefined.
Weak undefined symbols resolve to the image base. This is a little strange,
but it allows us to link function calls to such symbols. Normally such a
call will be guarded with a comparison, which will load a zero from the GOT.

There's one example of such a function call in crti.o in Linux's CRT.

As part of this change, I also needed to make the synthetic start and end
symbols image base relative in the case where their sections were empty,
so that PC-relative references to those symbols would continue to work.
