ELF: Support .noinit and .persistent sections
The ".persistent" section is for data that should be initialized during load, but not during application reset. The ".noinit" section is for data that should not be initialized during load or application reset. Targets utilizing the elf.sc linker script template can define HAVE_{NOINIT,PERSISTENT}=yes to include the .noinit or .persistent output sections in the generated linker script. Targets with existing support for .noinit did not handle unique .noinit.* and .gnu.linkonce.n.* sections the .noinit output section, this patch also fixes that. bfd/ChangeLog: * elf.c (special_sections_g): Add .gnu.linkonce.n and .gnu.linkonce.p. (special_sections_n): Add .noinit. (special_sections_p): Add .persistent. binutils/ChangeLog: * testsuite/lib/binutils-common.exp (supports_noinit_section): New. (supports_persistent_section): New. gas/ChangeLog: * testsuite/gas/elf/elf.exp: Run new tests. * testsuite/gas/elf/section25.d: New test. * testsuite/gas/elf/section25.s: New test. * testsuite/gas/elf/section26.d: New test. * testsuite/gas/elf/section26.s: New test. ld/ChangeLog: * emulparams/armelf.sh (OTHER_SECTIONS): Remove .noinit section definition. Define HAVE_{NOINIT,PERSISTENT}=yes. * scripttempl/avr.sc (.noinit): Add .noinit.* and .gnu.linkonce.n.* input section wildcard patterns. * scripttempl/elf.sc: Define .noinit and .persistent sections when HAVE_NOINIT or HAVE_PERSISTENT are defined to "yes". * scripttempl/elf32msp430.sc (.noinit): Add .noinit.* and .gnu.linkonce.n.*. input section wildcard patterns. (.persistent): Add .persistent.* and .gnu.linkonce.p.*. input section wildcard patterns. * scripttempl/elfarcv2.sc (.noinit): Add .noinit.* and .gnu.linkonce.n.*. input section wildcard patterns. * scripttempl/pru.sc: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-elf/noinit-sections-1.d: New test. * testsuite/ld-elf/noinit-sections-2.d: New test. * testsuite/ld-elf/noinit-sections-2.l: New test. * testsuite/ld-elf/noinit-sections.s: New test. * testsuite/ld-elf/persistent-sections-1.d: New test. * testsuite/ld-elf/persistent-sections-2.d: New test. * testsuite/ld-elf/persistent-sections-2.l: New test. * testsuite/ld-elf/persistent-sections.s: New test.
