Previously the condition prevented shared objects from being relaxed.
To remove the limitation, we need to update program header size and
.eh_frame_hdr size before relaxation.
Fix 31252 gprofng causes testsuite parallel jobs fail
Before running our tests, we made a fake installation into ./tmpdir.
This installation changes libopcodes.la in the build area.
Gas testing may fail if gas and gprofng tests are run in parallel.
I create a script to run gprofng. Inside this script, LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
GPROFNG_SYSCONFDIR are set.
putenv_libcollector_ld_misc() first uses $GPROFNG_PRELOAD_LIBDIRS to create
directories for SP_COLLECTOR_LIBRARY_PATH ($SP_COLLECTOR_LIBRARY_PATH is used
to set up LD_PRELOAD).

aarch64-elf: FAIL: indirect call stub to BTI stub relaxation
aarch64-elf fails the ld-aarch64/bfd-far-3.d test, due to the stubs
being emitted in a different order to that of aarch64-linux. They are
emitted in a different order due to stub names for local symbols
having the section id in the stub name. aarch64-linux-ld generates
one more section than aarch64-elf-ld. That section is .gnu.hash. So
the stub names differ and are hashed to different slots in
stub_hash_table.
Fix this by running the test with --hash-style=sysv, and adjust
expected output. I've also changed the branch over stubs emitted at
the start of a group of stubs to not care about the symbol, for all
groups not just the one that needed changing.

ld: aarch64: Use lp64 abi in recent BTI stub tests
The tests are not compatible with ilp32 abi: the GNU property
note is ABI dependent (size changes) and the disasm is ABI
dependent too. Making the test portable between the ABIs is
not trivial.

bfd: aarch64: Avoid BTI stub for a PLT that has BTI
We decide to emit BTI stubs based on the instruction at the target
location. But PLT code is generated later than the stubs so we always
read 0 which is not a valid BTI.
Fix the logic to special case the PLT section: this is code the linker
generates so we know when it will have BTI.
This avoids BTI stubs in large executables where the PLTs have them
already. An alternative is to never emit BTI stubs for PLTs, instead
use BTI in the PLT if a library gets too big, however that may be
more tricky given the ordering of PLT sizing and stub insertion.

bfd: aarch64: Fix broken BTI stub PR30930
Input sections are grouped together that can use the same stub area
(within reach) and these groups have a stable id.
Stubs have a name generated from the stub group id and target symbol.
When a relocation requires a stub with a name that already exists, the
stub is reused instead of adding a new one.
For an indirect branch stub another BTI stub may be inserted near the
target to provide a BTI landing pad.
The BTI stub can end up with the same stub group id and thus the same
name as the indirect stub. This happens if the target symbol is within
reach of the indirect branch stub. Then, due to the name collision,
only a single stub was emmitted which branched to itself causing an
infinite loop at runtime.
A possible solution is to just name the BTI stubs differently, but
since in the problematic case the indirect and BTI stub are in the
same stub area, a better solution is to emit a single stub with a
direct branch. The stub is still needed since the caller cannot reach
the target directly and we also want a BTI landing pad in the stub in
case other indirect stubs target the same symbol and thus need a BTI
stub.
In short we convert an indirect branch stub into a BTI stub when the
target is within reach and has no BTI. It is a hassle to change the
symbol of the stub so a BTI stub may end up with *_veneer instead of
*_bti_veneer after the conversion, but this should not matter much.
(Refactoring some of _bfd_aarch64_add_call_stub_entries would be
useful but too much for this bug fix patch.)
The same conversion to direct branch could be done even if the target
did not need a BTI. The stub groups are fixed in the current logic so
linking can fail if too many stubs are inserted and the section layout
is changed too much, but this only happens in extreme cases that can
be reasonably ignored. Because of this the target cannot go out of
reach during stub insertion so the optimization is valid, but not
implemented by this patch for the non-BTI case.
This can cause adding BTI stubs when they are not necessary or removing
them when they are (the latter is a correctness issue but it is very
unlikely in practice).
In gprofng testing, we need a tempory gprofng installation to resolve run-time
dependencies on libraries (libgprofng, libopcodes, libbfd, etc).
We set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and GPROFNG_SYSCONFDIR to find our libraries and
configuration file. These variables must be set for all gprofng tests.
Tested on aarch64 and x86_64 with and without --enable-shared and --target=<>.

ld/x86: reduce testsuite dependency on system object files
changed some C compiler tests to assembler/linker tests which introduced
2 problems:
1. It broke x32 binutils tests since --64 was passed to assembler, but
-m elf_x86_64 wasn't passed to linker.
2. -nostdlib was passed to C compiler driver to exclude standard run-time
files which should be avoided with -r option for linker tests.
Fix them by passing -m elf_x86_64 to linker and removing -nostdlib for
linker tests with -r.

Tests looking for certain .note-section recorded properties may not
involve object files from the underlying platform (e.g. via using the C
compiler for linking): Such object files may themselves have similar
note sections, and hence they may influence the overall outcome.
For now convert just the tests known to be affected by crt*.o coming
with "ISA v3 needed" notes. Eventually other tests ought to be
converted, too.
