This patch fixes a couple of bugs in incremental linking. (1) During an incremental update, the linker was failing to reserve the space used by .init/.preinit/.fini_array sections, causing an internal error when processing an input section from an unchanged file. (This showed up because of .ctors input sections mapped to .init_array sections via the new --ctors-in-init-array option.) (2) During an incremental full link, the linker is adding padding to the .eh_frame section, confusing the unwinder. I plan to correct this later by supporting the .eh_frame_hdr section during an incremental update. Tested on x86_64. OK to commit? -cary * incremental.cc (can_incremental_update): New function. * incremental.h (can_incremental_update): New function. * layout.cc (Layout::init_fixed_output_section): Call it. (Layout::make_output_section): Don't allow patch space in .eh_frame. * object.cc (Sized_relobj_file::do_layout): Call can_incremental_update.
