Great job, @MaskRay !!

Will FreeBSD 13 or future releases support ELFv1? If not, it may be cleaner to not invent -elfv2 -elfv1 triples, but rather dispatch on the major version, e.g. powerpc64-unknown-freebsd13.0 could mean ELFv2.

@adalava We care about the link time. I need to do some testing to ensure this doesn't cause regression. I've created https://reviews.llvm.org/D61720, fixed the tests and added ppc64-long-branch-init.s that I think captures the idea of the fix. Hope you don't mind my commandeering the change :)

See https://reviews.llvm.org/D61718 , not many tests need updating. The dump still diverges from GNU objdump in a few ways, e.g. the width of the size field, the number of spaces, the 'g' symbol etc

update testcase to use readelf instead of objdump, so it doesn't depend on D61647 anymore

This change makes sense and it will improve compatibility with GNU objdump. For your tests (I've commented there), I usually prefer llvm-readelf/llvm-readobj to llvm-objdump. The output of objdump also looks very weird to me. I remember @emaste said so in one FreeBSD issue.. I can check how many tests (you should at least check ninja -C Release check-llvm check-lld; clang has <5 llvm-objdump tests; ) will be impacted by this change. If there aren't many, I can fix them and commit that for you :)

Thanks. The test contains some constructs that are not used, e.g. .symver .addrsig. And I think it is usually better to use llvm-readelf/llvm-readobj. I always find the output of llvm-objdump/objdump weird.. If you don't mind, I can rewrite/minimalize the test and commit for you.

increase to PPC64_REL24 range

This definitely seems a useful upgrade to me. Unfortunately it might affect a lot of lit tests. If we do intend to make a change we should try to match the output of the binutils objdump. I can see from the surrounding context we print out '.hidden', having a quick look it seems binutils will print out the visibility if its the only thing set, and the hex value otherwise (ie not both) here is an example:

Thank you @MaskRay, a test case was added. Please note this patch currently depends on D56586 and D61647 that need to go in first.

add test case

Thank you guys. I updated the patch,;

phab for some reason counts all the commits to all the github forks of the official github llvm monorepo like this

Sorry, I was in the wrong repository! It was meant to be in my private one.
