powerpc relax_section and section contents cache
This patch provides a means for backend relax_section support to increase the size of a section without needing to reallocate section contents. This helps reduce memory usage when the added space does not need to be written in relax_section, as is the case for powerpc. Writing the stubs later means a few tweaks are needed in the powerpc relocate_section function, but also removes some code duplication since the extra ld -r relocs can be written there too. * elf-bfd.h (struct elf_backend_data): Add caches_rawsize. * elfxx-target.h (elf_backend_caches_rawsize): Define. (elfNN_bed): Init new field. * elflink.c (elf_link_input_bfd): Handle caches_rawsize. * elf32-ppc.c (shared_stub_entry): Zero addi offset. (ppc_elf_relax_section): Don't reallocate section here, write stubs, or write out relocs for ld -r here.. (ppc_elf_relocate_section): ..instead write stubs here, and use existing code to write out relocs for ld -r. Fix offset adjustment on reloc for little-endian. (elf_backend_caches_rawsize): Define.
