450cfad383 libs/libc/elf: Read the dynamic tags an FDPIC object needs.
libelf_relocatedyn() reads the handful of DT_* tags it needs to walk the
relocation tables and ignores the rest.  Three more matter now.

DT_PLTGOT is where the object's data base lives.  An FDPIC module runs
with that in the PIC base register, and every function descriptor built
for it names the same base as the one its callee should run with, so
without it there is nothing to put in a descriptor's second word.

The DT_*_ARRAY tags are the constructor and destructor tables.  These are
already found through the section headers a few lines further down, and
that path is kept, but the dynamic tags are the authoritative copy and an
object is not obliged to carry section headers at all.  Both paths now
translate through libelf_addr(), so they agree on the answer rather than
depending on which ran last.  The tag values themselves were missing from
include/elf.h and are added.

Sizing the descriptor pool has to happen here rather than later.
R_ARM_FUNCDESC asks the loader to manufacture a descriptor and hand back
its address, which means the space must exist by the time the relocation
is applied, and by then the segment has been placed.  So libelf_elfsize()
reserves it behind the writable data, bounded by the relocation count --
one relocation cannot ask for more than one descriptor.  That bound has
slack in it, but a descriptor is two words and modules are small, which
is cheaper than walking every relocation twice to get an exact count.

Nothing here runs for a non-FDPIC object.  Built and booted
mps3-an547:picostest with no change in behaviour.

1aa32bbc07 libs/libc/elf: Place an FDPIC object's segments independently.
An ET_DYN object is loaded into one allocation with its data behind its
text, because its data references sit at a fixed distance from the code
that makes them.  An FDPIC object does not work that way: it reaches its
data through a base register, so the two segments can be placed wherever
suits, and the point of the format is that the read-only one is left on
the media and executed there while only the writable one is copied.  One
copy of the text then serves every instance.

So libelf_load() grows a second case.  The object announces itself in the
OS/ABI byte, which is noted once in libelf_loadhdrs() rather than
re-derived; e_flags cannot be used for this, as an FDPIC object's are an
unremarkable EABI version and testing them would reject every valid
module.  Text is taken from the media address plus the segment's own file
offset -- the same arithmetic the ET_REL path already does with
sh_offset -- and libelf_loadfile() does not read it.  If the filesystem
cannot show its media, the loader copies the text to RAM instead.  The
module then loses the shared text and the flash saving, but it runs.

Obtaining that address needs two mechanisms, and they are not
interchangeable.  A compacting filesystem can move a file's blocks, so it
hands out an address only with a pin that holds them still and expects
the pin back; xipfs is the one in tree.  A filesystem whose layout never
changes has nothing to hold and answers FIOC_XIPBASE with a bare address;
romfs and tmpfs are those.  libelf_xipacquire() asks for the pin first,
because a filesystem that needs one is not safe without it, and
libelf_unload() gives it back.  The loader asks for a pin only if it can
hold one, or the pin would stay for ever.

The pin is thus not specific to FDPIC.  Any module that executes in place
from a compacting filesystem takes one, and gives it back at unload.

mmap() is not used, though both filesystems implement it.  The mapping
would be recorded against whichever task called the loader, while the
release happens when the module's own task exits, which is a different
group -- so the pin would outlive the module and the extent would never
become movable again.

Unloading has to change with placement: the existing path frees only
textalloc because ET_DYN had a single allocation, which would leak an
FDPIC object's data and free media the filesystem only lent us.

Nothing here runs for a non-FDPIC object; every branch is behind the flag
and the single-allocation path is untouched.  Built and booted
mps3-an547:picostest, which is CONFIG_ELF with CONFIG_PIC, with no change
in behaviour.

81f1133174 ELF64 support (#220)
* include: Introduce elf64.h and elf.h

    Added elf64.h for 64bit ELF support and moved common definitions
    from elf32.h to elf.h. Also introduced Elf_xxx to be used in
    common libraries such as binfmt.

  * binfmt, include, modlib, module: Add support for ELF64

    Elf_xxx must be used instead of Elf32_xxx to support ELF64.
    To use ELF64, CONFIG_ELF_64BIT must be enabled.

  * binfmt, modlib: Add support for relocate address

  * arch: risc-v: Add include/elf.h

  * libs: machine: Add risc-v related files.

    NOTE: Currently only supports ELF64
