elf: Use mmap to map in read-only sections
There are many linker input files in LLVM debug build with huge string sections. All these string sections can be treated as read-only. But linker copies all of them into memory which consumes huge amount of memory and slows down linker significantly. Add _bfd_mmap_readonly_persistent and _bfd_mmap_readonly_temporary to mmap in reado-only sections with size >= 4 * page size. NB: All string sections in valid ELF inputs must be null terminated. There is no need to terminate it again and string sections are mmapped as read-only. * bfd.c (bfd_mmapped_entry): New. (bfd_mmapped): Likewise. (bfd): Add mmapped. * bfdwin.c (bfd_get_file_window): Use _bfd_pagesize. * cache.c (cache_bmmap): Remove pagesize_m1 and use pagesize_m1 instead. * elf.c (bfd_elf_get_str_section): Call _bfd_mmap_readonly_persistent instead of _bfd_alloc_and_read. Don't terminate the string section again. (get_hash_table_data): Call _bfd_mmap_readonly_temporary and _bfd_munmap_readonly_temporary instead of _bfd_malloc_and_read and free. (_bfd_elf_get_dynamic_symbols): Call _bfd_mmap_readonly_persistent instead of _bfd_alloc_and_read. Don't terminate the string section again. Call _bfd_mmap_readonly_temporary and _bfd_munmap_readonly_temporary instead of _bfd_malloc_and_read and free. (_bfd_elf_slurp_version_tables): Call _bfd_mmap_readonly_temporary and _bfd_munmap_readonly_temporary instead of _bfd_malloc_and_read and free. * elflink.c (bfd_elf_link_record_dynamic_symbol): Use bfd_malloc to get the unversioned symbol. * libbfd-in.h (_bfd_pagesize): New. (_bfd_pagesize_m1): Likewise. (_bfd_minimum_mmap_size): Likewise. (_bfd_mmap_readonly_persistent): Likewise. (_bfd_mmap_readonly_temporary): Likewise. (_bfd_munmap_readonly_temporary): Likewise. * libbfd.c (bfd_allocate_mmapped_page): New. (_bfd_mmap_readonly_temporary): Likewise. (_bfd_munmap_readonly_temporary): Likewise. (_bfd_mmap_readonly_persistent): Likewise. (_bfd_pagesize): Likewise. (_bfd_pagesize_m1): Likewise. (_bfd_minimum_mmap_size): Likewise. (bfd_init_pagesize): Likewise. * lynx-core.c (lynx_core_file_p): Use _bfd_pagesize. * opncls.c (_bfd_delete_bfd): Munmap tracked mmapped memories. * sysdep.h (MAP_ANONYMOUS): New. Define if undefined. * bfd-in2.h: Regenerated. * libbfd.h: Likewise.
