Re: [PATCH] Fix default_binds_local_p_2 for extern protected data


ping 2.

this patch is needed for working visibility ("protected")
attribute for extern data on targets using default_binds_local_p_2.

The commit

where

false means that extern protected data binds locally,
which is wrong if the target can have copy relocations
against it (then the address must be loaded from GOT
otherwise the main executable will see different address).

Currently S/390, ARM and AArch64 targets use this predicate
and the current default is wrong for all of them (they can
have copy relocs) so I changed the default instead of doing
it in a target specific way.

The equivalent x86_64 bug was
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65248
the default was changed for
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65780
now i opened
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66912
for arm and aarch64.

Needs a further binutils patch too to emit R_*_GLOB_DAT
instead of R_*_RELATIVE relocs for protected data.
The glibc elf/tst-protected1a and elf/tst-protected1b
tests depend on this.

Tested ARM and AArch64 targets.
