Jiong Wang 6353d82b8f [AArch64] Allow COPY relocation elimination
As discussed at the PR, this patch tries to avoid COPY relocation generation
and propagate the original relocation into runtime if it was relocating on
writable section.  The ELIMINATE_COPY_RELOCS has been set to true and it's
underlying infrastructure has been improved so that the COPY reloc elimination
at least working on absoluate relocations (ABS64) on AArch64.

  BFD linker copy relocation elimination framwork requires the backend to always
allocate dynrelocs for all those relocation types that are possible to introduce
copy relocations.  This is for adjust_dynamic_symbol hook to be able to get all
symbol reference information.  Should one symbol is referenced by more than one
relocations, if there is any of them needs copy relocation then linker should
generate it.

bfd/
	PR ld/21532
	* elfnn-aarch64.c (ELIMINATE_COPY_RELOCS): Set to 1.
	(elfNN_aarch64_final_link_relocate): Also propagate relocations to
	runtime for if there needs copy relocation elimination.
	(need_copy_relocation_p): New function.  Return true for symbol with
	pc-relative references and if it's against read-only sections.
	(elfNN_aarch64_adjust_dynamic_symbol): Use need_copy_relocation_p.
	(elfNN_aarch64_check_relocs): Allocate dynrelocs for relocation types
	that are related with accessing external objects.
	(elfNN_aarch64_gc_sweep_hook): Sync the relocation types with the change
	in elfNN_aarch64_check_relocs.

ld/
	* testsuite/ld-aarch64/copy-reloc-exe-2.s: New test source file.

		   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.
