What the function returns are almost standard BFD names, except that "ELF" is
in uppercase instead of lowercase.
This patch changes "ELF" to "elf" and changes ARM/AArch64 to use their BFD names.
MIPS and PPC64 have endianness differences as well, but this patch does not intend to address them.
Advantages:
* llvm-objdump: the "file format " line matches GNU objdump on ARM/AArch64 objects
* "file format " line can be extracted and fed into llvm-objcopy -O literally.
(https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/779 has such a use case)

`PAddr` corresponds to `p_paddr` of a program header, which is the segment's physical
address for systems in which physical addressing is relevant. `p_paddr` is often equal
to `p_vaddr`, which is the virtual address of a segment.
This patch changes the default for `PAddr` from 0 to a value of `VAddr`.

This changes the output of `llvm-readelf -n` from:
```
Displaying notes found at file offset 0x<...> with length 0x<...>:
```
to:
```
Displaying notes found in: .note.foo
```
And similarly, adds a `Name:` field to the `llvm-readobj -n` output for notes.
This change not only increases GNU compatibility, it also makes it much easier to read notes. Note that we still fall back to printing the file offset/length in cases where we don't have a section name, such as when printing notes in program headers or printing notes in a partially stripped file (GNU readelf does the same).

I've noticed that it is not convenient to create YAMLs from
binaries (using obj2yaml) that have to be test cases for obj2yaml
later (after applying yaml2obj).
The problem, for example is that obj2yaml emits "DynamicSymbols:"
key instead of .dynsym. It also does not create .dynstr.
And when a YAML document without explicitly defined .dynsym/.dynstr
is given to yaml2obj, we have issues:
1) These sections are placed after non-allocatable sections (I've fixed it in D74756).
2) They have VA == 0. User needs create descriptions for such sections explicitly manually
to set a VA.
This patch addresses (2). I suggest to let yaml2obj assign virtual addresses by itself.
It makes an output binary to be much closer to "normal" ELF.
(It is still possible to use "Address: 0x0" for a section to get the original behavior
if it is needed)
Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D74764
.dynsym and .dynstr are allocatable and therefore normally are placed

To improve consistency and avoid unneeded shell feature (output

While here, make other changes to improve consistency
--docnum 1 => --docnum=1
-docnum=x => --docnum=x
Our logic that dumped the flags was buggy.
For LLVM style it dumped SHF_MASKPROC/SHF_MASKOS named constants, though
they are not flags, but masks.
For GNU style it was just very inconsistent with GNU which has logic
that is not straightforward. Imagine we have sh_flags == 0x90000000.
SHF_EXCLUDE ("E") has a value of 0x80000000 and SHF_MASKPROC is 0xf0000000.
GNU readelf will not print "E" or "Ep" in this case, but will print just
"p". It only will print "E" when no other processor flag is set.
I had to investigate the GNU source to find the algorithm and now our logic should
match it.

.text sh_address=0x1000 sh_offset=0x1000

In an objcopy -O binary output, the distance between two sections equal
their LMA differences (0x3000-0x1000), instead of their sh_offset
differences (0x2000-0x1000). This patch changes our behavior to match
GNU.
This rule gets more complex when the containing PT_LOAD has
p_vaddr!=p_paddr. GNU objcopy essentially computes
sh_offset-p_offset+p_paddr for each candidate section, and removes the
gap before the first address.
Added tests to binary-paddr.test to catch the compatibility problem.

--only-keep-debug produces a debug file as the output that only
preserves contents of sections useful for debugging purposes (the
binutils implementation preserves SHT_NOTE and non-SHF_ALLOC sections),
by changing their section types to SHT_NOBITS and rewritting file
offsets.
See https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html
The intended use case is:
```
llvm-objcopy --only-keep-debug a a.dbg
llvm-objcopy --strip-debug a b
llvm-objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=a.dbg b
```
The current layout algorithm is incapable of deleting contents and
shrinking segments, so it is not suitable for implementing the
functionality.

first, then modifies p_offset/p_filesz of program headers. It bears a

SHT_NOTE is the section that consists of

This patch implements the section how it is described here:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/819-0690/chapter6-18048.html
Which says: "For 64–bit objects and 32–bit objects, each entry is an array of 4-byte words in
the format of the target processor"
The official specification is different
http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch5.pheader.html#note_section
And says: "n 64-bit objects (files with e_ident[EI_CLASS] equal to ELFCLASS64), each entry is an array
of 8-byte words in the format of the target processor. In 32-bit objects (files with e_ident[EI_CLASS]
equal to ELFCLASS32), each entry is an array of 4-byte words in the format of the target processor"
Since LLVM uses the first, 32-bit way, this patch follows it.

Summary: GNU objcopy accepts the --wildcard flag to allow wildcard matching on symbol-related flags. (Note: it's implicitly true for section flags).
The basic syntax is to allow *, ?, \, and [] which work similarly to how they work in a shell. Additionally, starting a wildcard with ! causes that wildcard to prevent it from matching a flag.
Use an updated GlobPattern in libSupport to handle these patterns. It does not fully match the `fnmatch` used by GNU objcopy since named character classes (e.g. `[[:digit:]]`) are not supported, but this should support most existing use cases (mostly just `*` is what's used anyway).

GNU objcopy documents that -B is only useful with architecture-less
input (i.e. "binary" or "ihex"). After D67144, -O defaults to -I, and
-B is essentially a NOP.
* If -O is binary/ihex, GNU objcopy ignores -B.
* If -O is elf*, -B provides the e_machine field in GNU objcopy.
So to convert a blob to an ELF, `-I binary -B i386:x86-64 -O elf64-x86-64` has to be specified.
`-I binary -B i386:x86-64 -O elf64-x86-64` creates an ELF with its
e_machine field set to EM_NONE in GNU objcopy, but a regular x86_64 ELF
in elftoolchain elfcopy. Follow the elftoolchain approach (ignoring -B)

'Other' is used to encode everything except the visibility, but it can't handle arbitrary values.
'StOther' is used to encode arbitrary values when 'Visibility'/'Other' are not helpfull enough.
'st_other' field is used to encode symbol visibility and platform-dependent
flags and values. Problem to encode it is that it consists of Visibility part (STV_* values)
which are enumeration values and the Other part, which is different and inconsistent.
For MIPS the Other part contains flags for all STO_MIPS_* values except STO_MIPS_MIPS16.
(Like comment in ELFDumper says: "Someones in their infinite wisdom decided to make
STO_MIPS_MIPS16 flag overlapped with other ST_MIPS_xxx flags."...)
And for PPC64 the Other part might actually encode any value.
