Nelson Chu 18b9872261 RISC-V: Ouput __global_pointer$ as dynamic symbol when generating dynamic PDE.
When the ifunc resolver is in the executable, we may relax the variables
to gp-relative access instruction in the ifunc resolver, or in other functions
that called by the ifunc resolver.  But this will cause the uninitialized
gp problem since the ifunc need to be resolved at the early runtime, that
is at the pre-load stage, but we set the gp until the startup code.

At first, we try to add a new dynamic tag, DT_RISCV_GP, to stroe the gp value
and let ld.so can init the gp register early, before the pre-load stage.  But
we need to extend the ABI if we want to add a new dynamic tag.  Therefore,
in the psabi discussion, we try another solution, which was suggested by the
lld and FreeBSD linker experts, to let ld.so set the gp earlier - make sure
__global_pointer$ is output as a dynamic symbol when we are generating pde,
since we only do the relaxation for it.  Afterwards, ld.so can search the
DT_SYMTAB to get the gp value, and set the gp register before resolving ifunc.

    * elfnn-riscv.c (allocate_dynrelocs): When we are generating pde, make
      sure gp symbol is output as a dynamic symbol.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
