The SHF_GNU_RETAIN section flag is an extension to the GNU ELF OSABI.
It is defined as follows:
=========================================================
Section Attribute Flags
+-------------------------------------+
| Name | Value |
+-------------------------------------+
| SHF_GNU_RETAIN | 0x200000 (1 << 21) |
+-------------------------------------+
SHF_GNU_RETAIN
The link editor should not garbage collect the section.
=========================================================
The .section directive accepts the "R" flag, which indicates
SHF_GNU_RETAIN should be applied to the section.
There is not a direct mapping of SHF_GNU_RETAIN to the BFD
section flag SEC_KEEP. Keeping these flags distinct allows
SHF_GNU_RETAIN sections to be explicitly removed by placing them in
/DISCARD/.

The symbol string table in the .symtab section is optional and cosmetic.
The contents of the .symtab section have no impact on run-time execution.
The symbol names in the symbol string table help distinguish addresses at
different locations. Add a linker option, -z unique-symbol, to avoid
duplicated local symbol names in the symbol string table.
This feature was well received by the livepatch maintainers. It not only
solves the duplicated local symbol name problem, but also would allow
livepatch to more precisely locate duplicate symbols in general for
patching.

libctf recently changed to make it possible to not emit the CTF
variables section. Make this the default for ld: the variables section
is a simple name -> type mapping, and the names can be quite voluminous.
Nothing in the variables section appears in the symbol table, by
definition, so GDB cannot make use of them: special-purpose projects
that implement their own analogues of symbol table lookup can do so, but
they'll need to tell the linker to emit the variables section after all.
The new --ctf-variables option does this.
The --ctf-share-types option (valid values "share-duplicated" and
"share-unconflicted") allow the caller to specify the CTF link mode.
Most users will want share-duplicated, since it allows for more
convenient debugging: but very large projects composed of many decoupled
components may want to use share-unconflicted mode, which places types
that appear in only one TU into per-TU dicts. (They may also want to
relink the CTF using the ctf_link API and cu-mapping, to make their
"components" larger than a single TU. Right now the linker does not
expose the CU-mapping machinery. Perhaps it should in future to make
this use case easier.)
For now, giving the linker the ability to emit share-duplicated CTF lets
us add testcases for that mode to the testsuite.

--export-dynamic-symbol-list is like a dynamic list, but without
the symbolic property for unspecified symbols.
When creating an executable, --export-dynamic-symbol-list is treated
like --dynamic-list.
When creating a shared library, it is treated like --dynamic-list if
-Bsymbolic or --dynamic-list are used, otherwise, it is ignored, so
that references to matched symbols will not be bound to the definitions
within the shared library.

I think it is past time to remove CR16C support. CR16C was added in
2004, and only for ld. gas and binutils support is lacking, and there
have been no commits to bfd/elf32-cr16c.c other than warning fixes or
global maintainers making changes to all targets. I see no maintainer
listed for CR16C, and no commits from anyone at NSC supporting the
target. Furthermore, at the time the CR16 support was added in 2007,
config.sub was changed upstream to no longer recognise cr16c as a
valid cpu. That means the CR16C ld support is only available as a
secondary target by configuring with, for example,
--enable-targets=all or --enable-targets=cr16c-unknown-elf. No
testing of the CR16C target is possible.

The Cortex-A53 erratum currently has two ways it can resolve the erratum when
using the flag --fix-cortex-a53-843419:
1) If the address is within the range of an ADR instruction it rewrites the ADRP
into an ADR, and those doesn't need the use of a veneer.
2) If the address is not within range, it adds a branch to a veneer which will
execute the final bit of the erratum workaround and branch back to the call
site.
When we do this we always generate the veneers and we always align the size of
the text section to 4KB. This is because we only know which workaround we can
use after all linking has finished and all addresses are known. This means even
though the veneers are not used, we still generate the section and we still
change the size of the input section.
This is problematic for small memory devices as this would require the user to
take about a ~4KB hit in memory even though it's not even used.
Since there's no real way to restart the linking process from the final write
phase this patch solves the issue by allowing the user more control over which
erratum workaround gets used.
Concretely this changes the option --fix-cortex-a53-843419 to take optional
arguments --fix-cortex-a53-843419[=full|adr|adrp]
- full (default): Use both ADRP and ADR workaround. This is equivalent to not
specifying any options and is the default behavior before this
patch.
- adr: Only use the ADR workaround, this will not cause any increase in binary
size but linking will fail if the referenced address is out of range of
an ADR instruction.
- adrp: Use only the ADRP workaround, this will never rewrite your ADRP.
In the cases where the user knows how big their binaries are the `adr` option
would prevent the unneeded overhead.

Add a new option to disable the listing of discarded sections

This is part of the patch series to add support for BTI and
PAC in AArch64 linker.
1) This patch adds new definitions of PAC enabled PLTs
and both BTI and PAC enabled PLTs.
2) It also defines the new dynamic tag DT_AARCH64_PAC_PLT
for the PAC enabled PLTs.
3) This patch adds a new ld command line option: --pac-plt.
In the presence of this option, the linker uses the PAC
enabled PLTs and marks with DT_AARCH64_PAC_PLT.
4) In case both BTI and PAC are enabled the linker should
pick PLTs enabled with both and also use dynamic tags for both.
All these are made according to the new AArch64 ELF ABI

This is part of the patch series to add support for BTI and
PAC in AArch64 linker.
1) This patch adds a new ld command line option: --force-bti.
In the presence of this option, the linker enables BTI with the
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI feature. This gives out warning
in case of missing gnu notes for BTI in inputs.
2) It also defines a new set of BTI enabled PLTs. These are used either
when all the inputs are marked with GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI
or when the new --force-bti option is used. This required adding new
fields in elf_aarch64_link_hash_table so that we could make the PLT
related information more generic.
3) It also defines a dynamic tag DT_AARCH64_BTI_PLT. The linker uses
this whenever it picks BTI enabled PLTs.

This is part of the patch series to add support for BTI and
PAC in AArch64 linker.
This patch implements the following:
1) This extends in the gnu property support in the linker for
AArch64 by defining backend hooks for elf_backend_setup_gnu_properties,
elf_backend_merge_gnu_properties and elf_backend_parse_gnu_properties.
2) It defines AArch64 specific GNU property
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_AND and 2 bit for BTI and PAC in it.
3) It also adds support in readelf.c to read and print these new
GNU properties in AArch64.

This patch series is a new binutils port for C-SKY processors, including support for both the V1 and V2 processor variants. V1 is derived from the MCore architecture while V2 is substantially different, with mixed 16- and 32-bit instructions, a larger register set, a different (but overlapping) ABI, etc. There is support for bare-metal ELF targets and Linux with both glibc and uClibc.
This code is being contributed jointly by C-SKY Microsystems and Mentor Graphics. C-SKY is responsible for the technical content and has proposed Lifang Xia and Yunhai Shang as port maintainers. (Note that C-SKY does have a corporate copyright assignment on file with the FSF.) Mentor Graphics' role has been cleaning up the code, adding documentation and additional test cases, etc, to address issues we anticipated reviewers would complain about.

Binutils documentation uses a mix of spelling for the compound word
"command-line X". According to [1]:
"Sometimes compound words are written separately (nail polish),
sometimes with a hyphen (short-sighted) and sometimes as one word
(eyelashes). Often new compounds are written as two separate words and,
as they become more familiar, they are either connected with a hyphen
(-) or made into one word."
I think command-line X is common enough in our industry that the two
workds command and line should be connected. Since command-line is more
common than commandline, I propose to update binutils documentation to
consistently use "command-line" when this is used as an adjective to a
noun (eg. command-line argument, command-line switch, command-line
option and command-line flag). I've left occurences of "the command
line" as is. I've also left gdb, sim and readline alone and have only
touched public documentation (texi and NEWS files).

This patch adds --enable-separate-code to ld configure to turn on
-z separate-code by default and enables it by default for Linux/x86.
This avoids mixing code pages with data to improve cache performance
as well as security.
To reduce x86-64 executable and shared object sizes, the maximum page
size is reduced from 2MB to 4KB when -z separate-code is turned on by
default. Note: -z max-page-size= can be used to set the maximum page
size.
We compared SPEC CPU 2017 performance before and after this change on
Skylake server. There are no any significant performance changes.
Everything is mostly below +/-1%.

Currently we have no obvious way to revert the action of the "-z defs"
command line option. The "--unresolved-symbols=ignore-in-object-files"
does pretty much what is needed, but it is non-obvious and it also
touches the setting for reporting unresolved symbol references from
shared libraries. So I am proposing adding a "-z undefs" option to be
the inverse of "-z defs". (I thought that "-z nodefs" might be
confusing since it implies banning all definitions, rather than
allowing them).
In addition the description of the "-z defs" option in the linker
documentation is misleading in one place, where it says:
'defs'
Disallows undefined symbols in object files. Undefined
symbols in shared libraries are still allowed.
whereas later on it gets it right:
'-z defs'
Report unresolved symbol references from regular object files.
This is done even if the linker is creating a non-symbolic shared
library. The switch '--[no-]allow-shlib-undefined' controls the
behaviour for reporting unresolved references found in shared
libraries being linked in.
* emultempl/elf32.em (_handle_option): Add support for "-z undefs"
as the opposite of "-z defs".
* ld.texinfo: Document the new option. Update the description of
the -z defs option to make it clear that it does generate an error

The new "-z separate-code" option will generate separate code LOAD
