Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86: Improve TLS transition error check

Provide detailed TLS transition errors when unsupported instructions are
used.  Treat R_X86_64_CODE_4_GOTTPOFF and R_X86_64_CODE_6_GOTTPOFF as
R_X86_64_GOTTPOFF when performing TLS transition.

bfd/

	PR ld/32017
	* elf32-i386.c (elf_i386_check_tls_transition): Return different
	enums for different errors.
	(elf_i386_tls_transition): Change argument from r_symndx to sym.
	Call _bfd_x86_elf_link_report_tls_transition_error to report TLS
	transition errors.
	(elf_i386_scan_relocs): Pass isym instead of r_symndx to
	elf_i386_tls_transition.
	(elf_i386_relocate_section): Pass sym instead of r_symndx to
	elf_i386_tls_transition.

	Treat R_X86_64_CODE_4_GOTTPOFF and R_X86_64_CODE_6_GOTTPOFF as
	R_X86_64_GOTTPOFF.  Call
	_bfd_x86_elf_link_report_tls_transition_error to report TLS
	transition errors.
	(elf_x86_64_scan_relocs): Pass isym instead of r_symndx to

	(elf_x86_64_relocate_section): Pass sym instead of r_symndx to
	elf_x86_64_tls_transition.
	* elfxx-x86.c (_bfd_x86_elf_link_report_tls_transition_error): New.
	* elfxx-x86.h (elf_x86_tls_error_type): Likewise.
