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. bfd/ PR ld/23900 * elf.c (get_program_header_size): Add a PT_GNU_PROPERTY segment for NOTE_GNU_PROPERTY_SECTION_NAME.
