ARM direct CALL/JMP instruction has 24 bit offset, which can only
encodes jumps within +/-32M. When the target is too far, the top
bits get truncated and the program jumps wild.
This CL detects too-far jumps and automatically insert trampolines,
currently only internal linking on ARM.
It is necessary to make the following changes to the linker:
- Resolve direct jump relocs when assigning addresses to functions.
this allows trampoline insertion without moving all code that
already laid down.
- Lay down packages in dependency order, so that when resolving a
inter-package direct jump reloc, the target address is already
known. Intra-package jumps are assumed never too far.
- a linker flag -debugtramp is added for debugging trampolines:
"-debugtramp=1 -v" prints trampoline debug message
"-debugtramp=2" forces all inter-package jump to use
trampolines (currently ARM only)
"-debugtramp=2 -v" does both
- Some data structures are changed for bookkeeping.
On ARM, pseudo DIV/DIVU/MOD/MODU instructions now clobber R8
(unfortunate). In the standard library there is no ARM assembly
code that uses these instructions, and the compiler no longer emits
them (CL 29390).
all.bash passes with -debugtramp=2, except a disassembly test (this
is unavoidable as we changed the instruction).
TBD: debug info of trampolines?
Fixes#17028.

Instead of using ctxt.Cursym, Errorf takes an explicit *Symbol

In many places where ctx.Bso.Flush is used as the target for some debug
logging, ctx.Bso.Flush is called unconditionally. In the majority of
cases where debug logging is not enabled, this means Flush is called
many times when there is nothing to be flushed (it will be called anyway
when ctx.Bso is eventually closed), sometimes in a loop.
Avoid this by moving the ctx.Bso.Flush call into the same condition
block as the debug print. This pattern was previously applied
sporadically.

The obj library's flag functions are (mostly) light wrappers
around the standard library flag package. Use the flag package
directly where possible.
Most uses of the 'count'-type flags (except for -v) only check
against 0, so they can safely be replaced by bools. Only -v
and the flagfns haven't been replaced.
Debug has been turned into a slice of bools rather than ints.
There was a copy of the -v verbosity in ctxt.Debugvlog, so don't use
Debug['v'] and just use ctxt.Debugvlog.

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.
