For COFF and MachO, sections semantically have relocations that apply to them.
That is not the case on ELF.
In relocatable objects (.o), a section with relocations in ELF has offsets to
another section where the relocations should be applied.
In dynamic objects and executables, relocations don't have an offset, they have
a virtual address. The section sh_info may or may not point to another section,
but that is not actually used for resolving the relocations.
This patch exposes that in the ObjectFile API. It has the following advantages:
* Most (all?) clients can handle this more efficiently. They will normally walk
all relocations, so doing an effort to iterate in a particular order doesn't
save time.
* llvm-readobj now prints relocations in the same way the native readelf does.
* probably most important, relocations that don't point to any section are now
visible. This is the case of relocations in the rela.dyn section. See the
updated relocation-executable.test for example.

While here, don't report a dummy symbol for relocations that don't have symbols.
We used to says such relocations were for the first defined symbol, but now we
return end_symbols(). The llvm-readobj output change agrees with otool.

We are now able to handle big endian macho files in llvm-readobject. Thanks to
David Fang for providing the object files.

Original message:
Print more information about relocations.
With this patch llvm-readobj now prints if a relocation is pcrel, its length,
if it is extern and if it is scattered.
It also refactors the code a bit to use bit fields instead of shifts and
masks all over the place.

InMemoryStruct is extremely dangerous as it returns data from an internal
buffer when the endiannes doesn't match. This should fix the tests on big
endian hosts.

ELF with support for:
- File headers
- Section headers + data
- Relocations
- Symbols
- Unwind data (only COFF/Win64)
The output format follows a few rules:
- Values are almost always output one per line (as elf-dump/coff-dump already do). - Many values are translated to something readable (like enum names), with the raw value in parentheses.
- Hex numbers are output in uppercase, prefixed with "0x".
- Flags are sorted alphabetically.
- Lists and groups are always delimited.
Example output:
---------- snip ----------
Sections [
Section {
Index: 1
Name: .text (5)
Type: SHT_PROGBITS (0x1)
Flags [ (0x6)
SHF_ALLOC (0x2)
SHF_EXECINSTR (0x4)
]
Address: 0x0
Offset: 0x40
Size: 33
Link: 0

0x12 R_386_32 .rodata.str1.1 0x0
0x17 R_386_PC32 puts 0x0
]
SectionData (
0000: 83EC04C7 04240000 0000E8FC FFFFFFC7 |.....$..........|
0010: 04240600 0000E8FC FFFFFF31 C083C404 |.$.........1....|
0020: C3 |.|
)
}
]
---------- snip ----------
Relocations and symbols can be output standalone or together with the section header as displayed in the example.
This feature set supports all tests in test/MC/COFF and test/MC/ELF (and I suspect all additional tests using elf-dump), making elf-dump and coff-dump deprecated.
