Subject:
This fixes some x86 memory leaks. I think it would be possible to
free the relr data in _bfd_elf_x86_finish_relative_relocs if we
wanted to reclaim some memory earlier, but for tidying after errors we
likely would need to free in the hash_table_free function anyway.
_bfd_x86_elf_link_relax_section is called via bfd_relax_section,
ie. whenever relaxation is enabled. This is a waste of time if
dt_relr relocs are not enabled since the function is there only to
handle relr.
Since I may have missed something with the relax_section change,
OK to install?
* elfxx-x86.c (elf_x86_link_hash_table_free): Free relr data.
(_bfd_x86_elf_link_relax_section): Return early
if !info->enable_dt_relr. Do set "again" false before early
returns.
