[GOLD] PowerPC notoc eh_frame
When generating notoc call and branch stubs without the benefit of
pc-relative insns, the stubs need to use LR to access the run time PC.
All LR changes must be described in .eh_frame if we're to support
unwinding through asynchronous exceptions. That's what this patch
does.
The patch has gone through way too many iterations. At first I
attempted to add multiple FDEs, one for each stub. That ran into
difficulties with do_plt_fde_location which is only capable of setting
the address of a single FDE per Output_data section, and with removing
any FDEs added on a previous do_relax pass. Removing FDEs (git commit
be897fb774) went overboard in matching the FDE contents. That means
either stashing the contents created for add_eh_frame_for_plt to use
when calling remove_eh_frame_for_plt, or recreating contents on the
fly (*) just to remove FDEs. In fact, FDE content matching is quite
unnecesary. FDEs added by a previous do_relax pass are those with
u_.from_linker.post_map set. So they can easily be recognised just by
looking at that flag. This patch keeps that part of the multiple FDE
changes.
In the end I went for just one FDE per stub group to describe the call
stubs. That's reasonably efficient for the common case of only
needing to describe the __tls_get_addr_opt call stub. We don't expect
to be making many calls using notoc stubs without pc-relative insns.
*) Which has it's own set of problems. The contents must be recreated
using the old stub layout, but .eh_frame size can affect stub
requirements so you need to temporarily keep the old .eh_frame size
when creating new stubs, then reset .eh_frame size before adding new
FDEs.
