Add plugin API for processing plugin-added input files
Gold plugins may wish to further process an input file added by a plugin. For example, the plugin may need to assign a unique segment for sections in a plugin-generated input file. This patch adds a plugin callback that the linker will call when reading symbols from a new input file added after the all_symbols_read event (i.e. an input file added by a plugin). 2017-12-11 Stephen Crane <sjc@immunant.com> * plugin-api.h: Add new plugin hook to allow processing of input files added by a plugin. (ld_plugin_new_input_handler): New function hook type. (ld_plugin_register_new_input): New interface. (LDPT_REGISTER_NEW_INPUT_HOOK): New enum val. (tv_register_new_input): New member. * plugin.cc (Plugin::load): Include hooks for register_new_input in transfer vector. (Plugin::new_input): New function. (register_new_input): New function. (Plugin_manager::claim_file): Call Plugin::new_input if in replacement phase. * plugin.h (Plugin::set_new_input_handler): New function. * testsuite/plugin_new_section_layout.c: New plugin to test new_input plugin API. * testsuite/plugin_final_layout.sh: Add new input test. * testsuite/Makefile.am (plugin_layout_new_file): New test case. * testsuite/Makefile.in: Regenerate.
