Masahiro Yamada 511046eaa2 BL31: discard .dynsym .dynstr .hash sections to make ENABLE_PIE work
When I tried ENABLE_PIE for my PLAT=uniphier platform, BL31 crashed
at its entry. When it is built with ENABLE_PIE=1, some sections are
inserted before the executable code.

$ make PLAT=uniphier CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- ENABLE_PIE=1 bl31
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-objdump -h build/uniphier/release/bl31/bl31.elf | head -n 13

build/uniphier/release/bl31/bl31.elf:     file format elf64-littleaarch64

Sections:

The previous stage loader generally jumps over to the base address of
BL31, where no valid instruction exists.

I checked the linker script of Linux (arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S)
and U-Boot (arch/arm/cpu/armv8/u-boot.lds), both of which support
relocation. They simply discard those sections.

Do similar in TF-A too.
