[LLD][ARM] Support for R_ARM_TARGET2 relocation

Details

Summary

The R_ARM_TARGET2 relocation is used in ARM exception tables to encode a data dependency that will only be dereferenced by code in the run-time support library. In a similar way to R_ARM_TARGET1 the handling of the relocation is target specific, it maps to one of R_ARM_ABS32, R_ARM_REL32 or R_ARM_GOT_PREL. The choice depends on the run-time library. R_ARM_GOT_PREL is used for linux and BSD, R_ARM_ABS32 and R_ARM_REL32 are used for bare-metal.

I've implemented R_ARM_TARGET2 in lld using the same command line option as GNU ld https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/ARM.html#ARM

The default is R_ARM_GOT_PREL as this is the default in Gold and the linux targeting BFD linkers.

You are not using ReportError, so you may want to remove it.

Format.

Thanks for the comments (so far).

It is definitely the right thing to do to remove the ReportError so I've made it return the default if nothing arg is given. I've fixed the formatting as well, apologies about not catching that myself.

So the function seems to be used only once, so I'd inline it here and remove getTarget2Expr.
