[BOLT] Improve dynamic relocations support for CI
ClosedPublic

Summary

This patch fixes few problems with supporting dynamic relocations in CI.

  1. After dynamic relocations and functions were read search for dynamic

relocations located in functions. Currently we expected them only to be
relative and only to be in constant island. Mark islands of such
functions to have dynamic relocations and create CI access symbol on the
relocation offset, so the BD would be created for such place.

  1. During function disassemble and handling address reference for

constant island check if the referred external CI has dynamic
relocation. And if it has one we would continue to refer original CI
rather then creating a local copy.

  1. After function disassembly stage mark function that has dynamic reloc

in CI as non-simple. We don't want such functions to be optimized, since
such passes as split function would create 2 copies of CI which we
unable to support currently.

  1. During updating output values for BF search for BD located in CI and

update their output locations.

  1. On dynamic relocation patching stage search for binary data located

on relocation offset. If it was moved use new relocation offset value
rather then an old one.

Can you expand this comment to:

Set true if constant island contains dynamic relocations, which happens if binary is linked with -znotext

Support dynamic relocations in constant islands, which happens if binary is linked with -znotext

Is this because we don't support cloning dynamic relocs? If yes, we can expand this comment to clarify:

// Fall-back to referencing the original constant island in the presence of dynamic relocs, as we currently do not support cloning them. Notice: we might fail to link because of this, if the original constant island is far away.
