The PowerPC ISA does not have a PC-relative load instruction, which poses
obvious challenges when generating position-independent code. The way the ELFv2
ABI addresses this is to specify that r2 points to a per "module" (shared
library or executable) TOC pointer. Maintaining this pointer requires
cooperation between codegen and the system linker:
* Non-leaf functions leave space on the stack at r1+24 to save the TOC pointer.
* A call to a function that *might* have to go via a PLT stub must be followed
by a nop instruction that the system linker can replace with "ld r1, 24(r1)"
to restore the TOC pointer (only when dynamically linking Go code).
* When calling a function via a function pointer, the address of the function
must be in r12, and the first couple of instructions (the "global entry
point") of the called function use this to derive the address of the TOC
for the module it is in.
* When calling a function that is implemented in the same module, the system
linker adjusts the call to skip over the instructions mentioned above (the
"local entry point"), assuming that r2 is already correctly set.
So this changeset adds the global entry point instructions, sets the metadata so
the system linker knows where the local entry point is, inserts code to save the
TOC pointer at 24(r1), adds a nop after any call not known to be local and copes
with the odd non-local code transfer in the runtime (e.g. the stuff around
jmpdefer). It does not actually compile PIC yet.

The GNU binutils recently picked up support for new 386/amd64
relocations. Add support for them in the Go linker when doing an

The 386 relocation R_386_GOT32X was proposed in
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ia32-abi/GbJJskkid4I . It can
be treated as identical to the R_386_GOT32 relocation.

can both be treated as identical to the R_X86_64_GOTPCREL relocation.
The purpose of the new relocations is to permit additional linker

On ppc64x, the thread pointer, held in R13, points 0x7000 bytes past where
thread-local storage begins (presumably to maximize the amount of storage that
can be accessed with a 16-bit signed displacement). The relocations used to
indicate thread-local storage to the platform linker account for this, so to be
able to support external linking we need to change things so the linker applies
this offset instead of the runtime assembly.

When dynamically linking, we want references to functions defined
in this module to always be to the function object, not to the
PLT. We force this by writing an additional local symbol for
every global function symbol and making all relocations against
the global symbol refer to this local symbol instead. This is
approximately equivalent to the ELF linker -Bsymbolic-functions
option, but that is buggy on several platforms.

Go cannot allow lazy PLT resolution when calling between Go functions because
the lazy resolution can use more stack than is available. Lazy resolution is
disabled by passing -z now to the system linker, but unfortunately was only
passed when linking to a Go shared library. That sounds fine, but the shared
library containing the runtime is not linked to any other Go shared library but
calls main.init and main.main via a PLT, and before this fix this did use lazy
resolution. (For some reason this never caused a problem on intel, but it
breaks on ppc64le). Fortunately the fix is very simple: always pass -z now to
the system linker when dynamically linking Go.

It is generally expected that the ELF flags of a dynamically linked executable
and the libraries it links against match. Go's linker currently always produces
executables with flags that do not declare a float abi (hard, soft) at all, but
when cgo is involved it is unlikely that this matches the system libraries
being linked against -- really the decision about ABI is made by the C compiler
during the invocation of cgo.
This change is basically a port of the code from binutils that parses the
".ARM.attributes" section to check for the tag that declares that the code is
built for the hard-float ABI.

TestNoteReading fails on Solaris with linkmode=external due to some
assumptions made about how ELF .note sections are written by some
linkers.
On current versions of Solaris and older derivatives, SHF_ALLOC is
intentionally ignored for .note sections unless the .note section is
assigned to the text segment via a mapfile. Also, if .note sections
are assigned to the text segment, no PT_NOTE program header will be
created thwarting Go's attempts at attempting to quickly find the
.note.
Furthermore, Go assumes that the relevant note segment will be placed
early in the file while the Solaris linker currently places the note
segment last in the file, additionally thwarting Go's optimisation
attempts that read only the first 16KB of the file to find the
buildid.
The fix is to detect when the note section is outside of the first
16KB of the file and then fallback to additionally reading that
section of the file. This way, in future versions of Solaris when
this linking behaviour is changed, the fast path will always succeed
and we'll only be slower if it fails; likewise, any other linker that
does this will also just work.
