libdl: Add symbol searching and loading from archives.

  • Load archive symbol tables to support searching of archives for symbols.
  • Search archive symbols and load the object file that contains the symbol.
  • Search the global and archives until all remaining unresolved symbols are not found. Group the loaded object files in the pending queue.
  • Run the object file and loaded dependents as a group before adding to the main object list.
  • Remove orphaned object files after references are removed.

Updates #3686

  • Property mode set to 100644

13 * @brief RTEMS Run-Time Linker Object File Unresolved Relocations Table.
14 *
15 * The unresolved relocation table holds relocations in a loaded object file
16 * which reference unresolved external symbols. The support is needed to allow
17 * dependent object files to load. In the case of dependent object files one
18 * will have unresolved externals until the dependent object file is also
19 * loaded. There is no load order that resolves this.
20 *
21 * The unresolved relocation table is a single table used by all object files
22 * with unresolved symbols. It made of blocks linked together where blocks are
23 * allocated as requiered. The table is always maintained compacted. That is as
24 * relocations are resolved and removed the table is compacted. The only
25 * pointer in the table is the object file poniter. This is used to identify
26 * which object the relocation belongs to. There are no linking or back
27 * pointers in the unresolved relocations table. The table is scanned for each
28 * object file's relocations. This is not fast but the table should be small
29 * and if it happens to grow large you have other more pressing issues to
30 * resolve in your application.
31 *
32 * The table holds two (2) types of records:
33 *
34 *  # Symbol name strings.
35 *  # Relocations.
36 *
37 * The symbol name a relocation references is held in a specific symbol name
38 * string record in the table the relocation record references. The record
39 * counts the number of references and the string is removed from the table
40 * when the reference count reaches 0. There can be many relocations
41 * referencing the symbol. The strings are referenced by a single 16bit
42 * unsigned integer which is the count of the string in the table.
43 *
44 * The section the relocation is for in the object is the section number. The
45 * relocation data is series of machine word sized fields:
46 *
47 * # Offset in the section.
48 * # Relocation info (format specific)
49 * # Additional format specific data.
