Lynn Boger b4efd09d18 cmd/link: split large elf text sections on ppc64x
Some applications built with Go on ppc64x with external linking
can fail to link with relocation truncation errors if the elf
text section that is generated is larger than 2^26 bytes and that
section contains a call instruction (bl) which calls a function
beyond the limit addressable by the 24 bit field in the
instruction.

This solution consists of generating multiple text sections where
each is small enough to allow the GNU linker to resolve the calls
by generating long branch code where needed.  Other changes were added
to handle differences in processing when multiple text sections exist.

Some adjustments were required to the computation of a method's address
when using the method offset table when there are multiple text sections.

The number of possible section headers was increased to allow for up
to 128 text sections.  A test case was also added.

Fixes #15823.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
