The SHF_GNU_RETAIN section flag is an extension to the GNU ELF OSABI.
It is defined as follows:
=========================================================
Section Attribute Flags
+-------------------------------------+
| Name | Value |
+-------------------------------------+
| SHF_GNU_RETAIN | 0x200000 (1 << 21) |
+-------------------------------------+
SHF_GNU_RETAIN
The link editor should not garbage collect the section.
=========================================================
The .section directive accepts the "R" flag, which indicates
SHF_GNU_RETAIN should be applied to the section.
There is not a direct mapping of SHF_GNU_RETAIN to the BFD
section flag SEC_KEEP. Keeping these flags distinct allows
SHF_GNU_RETAIN sections to be explicitly removed by placing them in
/DISCARD/.
bfd/ChangeLog:
* elf-bfd.h (enum elf_gnu_osabi): Add elf_gnu_osabi_retain.

unless you are working on a project that has its own analogue
of symbol tables that are not reflected in the ELF symtabs.
+* Add support for the SHF_GNU_RETAIN ELF section flag.
+ This flag specifies that the section should not be garbage collected by the
+ linker.
+
Changes in 2.35:
* X86 NaCl target support is removed.
@samp{--undefined}, or @samp{--gc-keep-exported} or by a @code{ENTRY}
command in the linker script.
+As a GNU extension, ELF input sections marked with the
+@code{SHF_GNU_RETAIN} flag will not be garbage collected.
+
@kindex --print-gc-sections
@kindex --no-print-gc-sections
@cindex garbage collection
input sections. Any input sections which are assigned to an output
section named @samp{/DISCARD/} are not included in the output file.
+This can be used to discard input sections marked with the ELF flag
+@code{SHF_GNU_RETAIN}, which would otherwise have been saved from linker
+garbage collection.
+
Note, sections that match the @samp{/DISCARD/} output section will be
discarded even if they are in an ELF section group which has other
members which are not being discarded. This is deliberate.
