AArch64: Add support for AArch64 EFI (efi-*-aarch64).
This adds support for efi-*-aarch64 by virtue of adding a new PEI target pei-aarch64-little. This is not a full target and only exists to support EFI at this time. This means that this target does not support relocation processing and is mostly a container format. This format has been added to elf based aarch64 targets such that efi images can be made natively on Linux. However this target is not valid for use with gas but only with objcopy. With these changes the resulting file is recognized as an efi image by third party tools: > pecli info hello.efi Metadata ================================================================================ MD5: 598c32a778b0f0deebe977fef8578c4e SHA1: 4580121edd5cb4dc40f51b28f171fd15250df84c SHA256: 3154bd7cf42433d1c957f6bf55a17ad8c57ed41b29df2d485703349fd6ff1d5c Imphash: Size: 47561 bytes Type: PE32+ executable (EFI application) (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows Compile Time: 1970-01-01 00:00:00 (UTC - 0x0 ) Entry point: 0x2000 (section .text) Sections ================================================================================ Name RWX VirtSize VirtAddr RawAddr RawSize Entropy md5 .text R-X 0x5bb0 0x2000 0x400 0x5c00 6.39 551fbc264256a3f387de8a891500ae0d .reloc R-- 0xc 0x8000 0x6000 0x200 0.02 0c45f6d812d079821c1d54c09ab89e1d .data RW- 0x1d88 0x9000 0x6200 0x1e00 4.18 5d1137c09f01289dc62bf754f7290db3 .dynamic RW- 0xf0 0xb000 0x8000 0x200 0.34 5c94ed3206f05a277e6f04fbf131f131 .rela R-- 0xe58 0xc000 0x8200 0x1000 1.87 8b5c6bc30f3acb7ca7bf2e6789d68519 .dynsym R-- 0x138 0xd000 0x9200 0x200 0.96 bdcf5101da51aadc663ca8859f88138c Imports ================================================================================ Any magic number is based on the Microsoft PE specification [1].
