Hi all,
This is a proposal for a patch that replaces the catch of noread
sections by section name by a section attribute letter.
I have taken changes from Terry Guo's patch[1] for documentation and
for section-execute-only.s test.
No regressions have been observed for arm-linux-gnueabi,
arm-linux-gnueabihf, arm-none-eabi, arm-none-nacl,
armeb-linux-gnueabihf, arm-netbsdelf and arm-vxworks targets
on 64-bit Linux host.
