elf: Add PT_GNU_PROPERTY segment type
Linkers group input note sections with the same name into one output
note section with the same name. One output note section is placed in
one PT_NOTE segment. New linkers merge all input .note.gnu.property
sections into one output .note.gnu.property section with a single
NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 note in a single PT_NOTE segment. Since older
linkers treat input .note.gnu.property section as a generic note section
and just concatenate all input .note.gnu.property sections into one
output .note.gnu.property section without merging them, we may
see one or more NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 notes in PT_NOTE segment, which
are invalid.
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_UINT32_VALID was defined to address this issue such
that linker sets the bit for non-relocatable outputs. But it isn't
sufficient:
1. It doesn't cover generic properties.
2. When -mx86-used-note=yes is passed to x86 assembler, the
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_UINT32_VALID bit is set in GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED
property in object file and older linkers generate invalid
NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 notes with the GNU_PROPERTY_X86_UINT32_VALID bit
set.
I am proposing the following changes:
1. Add PT_GNU_PROPERTY segment type:
# define PT_GNU_PROPERTY (PT_LOOS + 0x474e553)
which covers .note.gnu.property section.
2. Remove GNU_PROPERTY_X86_UINT32_VALID.
