x86: Make protected symbols local for -shared
Call _bfd_elf_symbol_refs_local_p with local_protected==true. This has 2 noticeable effects for -shared: * GOT-generating relocations referencing a protected data symbol no longer lead to a GLOB_DAT (similar to a hidden symbol). * Direct access relocations (e.g. R_X86_64_PC32) no longer has the confusing diagnostic below. __attribute__((visibility("protected"))) void *foo() { return (void *)foo; } // gcc -fpic -shared -fuse-ld=bfd relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against protected symbol `foo' can not be used when making a shared object The new behavior matches arm, aarch64 (commit 83c325007c5599fa9b60b8d5f7b84842160e1d1b), and powerpc ports, and other linkers: gold and ld.lld. Note: if some code tries to use direct access relocations to take the address of foo, the pointer equality will break, but the error should be reported on the executable link, not on the innocent shared object link. glibc 2.36 will give a warning at relocation resolving time. With this change, `#define elf_backend_extern_protected_data 1` is no longer effective. Just remove it. Remove the test "Run protected-func-1 without PIE" since -fno-pic address taken operation in the executable doesn't work with protected symbol in a shared object by default. Similarly, remove protected-data-1a and protected-data-1b. protected-data-1b can be made working by removing HAVE_LD_PIE_COPYRELOC from GCC (https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-June/596678.html).
