r238211:
Support TARGET_ARCH=armv6 and TARGET_ARCH=armv6eb
This adds a new TARGET_ARCH for building on ARM
processors that support the ARMv6K multiprocessor
extensions. In particular, these processors have
better support for TLS and mutex operations.
This mostly touches a lot of Makefiles to extend
existing patterns for inferring CPUARCH from ARCH.
It also configures:
* GCC to default to arm1176jz-s
* GCC to predefine __FreeBSD_ARCH_armv6__
* gas to default to ARM_ARCH_V6K
* uname -p to return 'armv6'
* make so that MACHINE_ARCH defaults to 'armv6'
It also changes a number of headers to use
the compiler __ARM_ARCH_XXX__ macros to configure
processor-specific support routines.

The binutils update in r218822 caused the MIPS n64 dynamic binaries to
fail because the ".interp" section is not in the initial sections.
This happens because elf64bmip-defs.sh overrides INITIAL_READONLY_SECTIONS
to add ".MIPS.options" sections instead of the ".reginfo" section used
by n32.
This used to work fine, but after r218822, INITIAL_READONLY_SECTIONS also
contains the .interp section, so the override has to be done differently.

* elf64-sparc.c (sparc64_elf_relocate_section): Adjust addend of
dynamic relocs against section symbols for the output section vma.
However, with the addition of TLS support in the upstream rev. 1.104
this fix was essentially reverted. After factoring out the common parts
of elf32-sparc.c and elf64-sparc.c a comment was added to elfxx-sparc.c
in the upstream rev. 1.27 as part of unrelated changes, saying that the
fix from elf64-sparc.c rev. 1.61 indeed should be implemented, but given
that some unspecified OS has a broken ld.so expecting broken relocations
deliberately is omitted.
As the current behavior actually violates the SPARC ABI, FreeBSD never
had such a broken ld.so and this is actually causing problems with at
least kernel modules linked with binutils 2.17.50 committed in r218822
without the workaround committed in r219340 in place, re-implement the
above fix in a way so that is only applied if the output format is
ELFOSABI_FREEBSD. In the upstream version it probably would make sense
to invert this check and only skip adjusting the addend for the OS with
the broken ld.so, once it's determine which one that is.

it should also be MI. The problem here arises when ld ends up linking a
link-once section with relocations against sections that point back to it
that are as yet unresolved. Instead of piecemeal finding sections we
think are potentially subject to this issue, just defer processing for
sections that have yet to be relocated instead of immediately bailing.
thread specific informations.
In order to do that, and in order to avoid KBI breakage with existing
infrastructure the following semantic is implemented:
- For live programs, a new member to the PT_LWPINFO is added (pl_tdname)
- For cores, a new ELF note is added (NT_THRMISC) that can be used for
storing thread specific, miscellaneous, informations. Right now it is
just popluated with a thread name.
GDB, then, retrieves the correct informations from the corefile via the
BFD interface, as it groks the ELF notes and create appropriate
pseudo-sections.

Taken from upstream git commit 7e01d69a19a8fd079887f26853c8565da15ff340,
with permission to use it under GPLv2 from the author.
The change made to bfd/elf.c in upstream revision 1.217.4.3 (which was a
revert of an earlier change), caused objcopy on powerpc to fail to copy
debug info from kernel modules. This had to be fixed by applying the
diff from upstream revision 1.243 on top of it.
__start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME symbols are automatically generated
by ld for orphan sections, i.e. those not explicitely referenced by a
linker script. The symbols are supposed to be placed correspondingly
at the start and the end of the section in output file. In some cases
__start_SECNAME may be placed at the address after the end of the
previous section (if any) and before the start the section. This
happens when following conditions are met:
1. the orphan section is found in more than one input file
2. the orphan section has different alignment requirements across input
files
3. the first instance of the section encountered doesn't have the
greatest alignment requirement
In these conditions resulting output section will be placed at address
after the end of the previous section aligned to the greatest alignment
requirement in the inputs, but __start_SECNAME will be placed at address
after the end of the previous section aligned to the alignment
requirement of the first input in which the section is encountered.
See commit message of r196118 for a concrete example of problems caused
by this bug.
The fix is to place __start_SECNAME inside the section and use ABSOLUTE
directive, rather than placing __start_SECNAME outside the section and
trying to guess address alignment.
This fix is in line with upstream binutils change/fix made between
versions 2.19 and 2.20 in revision of 1.307 ldlang.c.
