This is implemented by creating Undefined (instead of Defined) for such
local STT_SECTION symbols. It allows us to catch errors when there are
relocations to such discarded sections (e.g. in PR41693, ld.bfd and gold
error but we don't). Updated comdat-discarded-error.s checks we emit
friendly error message.
For relocatable-eh-frame.s, ld.lld -r a.o a.o will now error
"STT_SECTION symbol should be defined" because the section .eh_frame
refers to is now an Undefined instead of a Defined.
So I have to change `error()` to `warn()` to retain the output.

--{start,end}-lib give files grouped by the options the archive file
semantics. That is, each object file between them acts as if it were
in an archive file whose sole member is the file.
Therefore, files between --{start,end}-lib are linked to the final
output only if they are needed to resolve some undefined symbols.
Previously, the feature was implemented this way:
1. We read a symbol table and insert defined symbols to the symbol
table as lazy symbols.
2. If an undefind symbol is resolved to a lazy symbol, that lazy
symbol instantiate ObjFile class for that symbol, which re-insert
all defined symbols to the symbol table.
So, if an ObjFile is instantiated, defined symbols are inserted to the
symbol table twice. Since inserting long symbol names is not cheap,
there's a room to optimize here.
This patch optimzies it. Now, LazyObjFile remembers symbol handles and
passed them over to a new ObjFile instance, so that the ObjFile
doesn't insert the same strings.
Here is a quick benchmark to link clang. "Original" is the original
lld with unmodified command line options. For "Case 1" and "Case 2", I
extracted all files from archive files and replace .a's in a command
line with .o's wrapped with --{start,end}-lib. I used the original lld
for Case 1" and use this patch for Case 2.
Original: 5.892
Case 1: 6.001 (+1.8%)
Case 2: 5.701 (-3.2%)
So, interestingly, --{start,end}-lib are now faster than the regular
linking scheme with archive files. That's perhaps not too surprising,
though, because for regular archive files, we look up the symbol table
with the same string twice.

This patch implements a limited form of autolinking primarily designed to allow
either the --dependent-library compiler option, or "comment lib" pragmas (
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/preprocessor/comment-c-cpp?view=vs-2017) in
C/C++ e.g. #pragma comment(lib, "foo"), to cause an ELF linker to automatically
add the specified library to the link when processing the input file generated
by the compiler.
Currently this extension is unique to LLVM and LLD. However, care has been taken
to design this feature so that it could be supported by other ELF linkers.
The design goals were to provide:
- A simple linking model for developers to reason about.
- The ability to to override autolinking from the linker command line.
- Source code compatibility, where possible, with "comment lib" pragmas in other
environments (MSVC in particular).
Dependent library support is implemented differently for ELF platforms than on
the other platforms. Primarily this difference is that on ELF we pass the
dependent library specifiers directly to the linker without manipulating them.
This is in contrast to other platforms where they are mapped to a specific
linker option by the compiler. This difference is a result of the greater
variety of ELF linkers and the fact that ELF linkers tend to handle libraries in
a more complicated fashion than on other platforms. This forces us to defer
handling the specifiers to the linker.
In order to achieve a level of source code compatibility with other platforms
we have restricted this feature to work with libraries that meet the following
"reasonable" requirements:
1. There are no competing defined symbols in a given set of libraries, or
if they exist, the program owner doesn't care which is linked to their
program.
2. There may be circular dependencies between libraries.
The binary representation is a mergeable string section (SHF_MERGE,
SHF_STRINGS), called .deplibs, with custom type SHT_LLVM_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES
(0x6fff4c04). The compiler forms this section by concatenating the arguments of
the "comment lib" pragmas and --dependent-library options in the order they are
encountered. Partial (-r, -Ur) links are handled by concatenating .deplibs
sections with the normal mergeable string section rules. As an example, #pragma
comment(lib, "foo") would result in:
.section ".deplibs","MS",@llvm_dependent_libraries,1
.asciz "foo"
For LTO, equivalent information to the contents of a the .deplibs section can be
retrieved by the LLD for bitcode input files.
LLD processes the dependent library specifiers in the following way:
1. Dependent libraries which are found from the specifiers in .deplibs sections
of relocatable object files are added when the linker decides to include that
file (which could itself be in a library) in the link. Dependent libraries
behave as if they were appended to the command line after all other options. As
a consequence the set of dependent libraries are searched last to resolve
symbols.
2. It is an error if a file cannot be found for a given specifier.
3. Any command line options in effect at the end of the command line parsing apply
to the dependent libraries, e.g. --whole-archive.
4. The linker tries to add a library or relocatable object file from each of the
strings in a .deplibs section by; first, handling the string as if it was
specified on the command line; second, by looking for the string in each of the
library search paths in turn; third, by looking for a lib<string>.a or
lib<string>.so (depending on the current mode of the linker) in each of the
library search paths.
5. A new command line option --no-dependent-libraries tells LLD to ignore the
dependent libraries.
Rationale for the above points:
1. Adding the dependent libraries last makes the process simple to understand
from a developers perspective. All linkers are able to implement this scheme.
2. Error-ing for libraries that are not found seems like better behavior than
failing the link during symbol resolution.
3. It seems useful for the user to be able to apply command line options which
will affect all of the dependent libraries. There is a potential problem of
surprise for developers, who might not realize that these options would apply
to these "invisible" input files; however, despite the potential for surprise,
this is easy for developers to reason about and gives developers the control
that they may require.
4. This algorithm takes into account all of the different ways that ELF linkers
find input files. The different search methods are tried by the linker in most
obvious to least obvious order.
5. I considered adding finer grained control over which dependent libraries were
ignored (e.g. MSVC has /nodefaultlib:<library>); however, I concluded that this
is not necessary: if finer control is required developers can fall back to using
the command line directly.

This is the last patch of the series of patches to make it possible to
resolve symbols without asking SymbolTable to do so.
The main point of this patch is the introduction of
`elf::resolveSymbol(Symbol *Old, Symbol *New)`. That function resolves
or merges given symbols by examining symbol types and call
replaceSymbol (which memcpy's New to Old) if necessary.
With the new function, we have now separated symbol resolution from
symbol lookup. If you already have a Symbol pointer, you can directly
resolve the symbol without asking SymbolTable to do that.
Now that the nice abstraction become available, I can start working on
performance improvement of the linker. As a starter, I'm thinking of
making --{start,end}-lib faster.
--{start,end}-lib is currently unnecessarily slow because it looks up
the symbol table twice for each symbol.
- The first hash table lookup/insertion occurs when we instantiate a
LazyObject file to insert LazyObject symbols.
- The second hash table lookup/insertion occurs when we create an
ObjFile from LazyObject file. That overwrites LazyObject symbols
with Defined symbols.
I think it is not too hard to see how we can now eliminate the second
hash table lookup. We can keep LazyObject symbols in Step 1, and then
call elf::resolveSymbol() to do Step 2.

SymbolTable's add-family functions have lots of parameters because
when they have to create a new symbol, they forward given arguments
to Symbol's constructors. Therefore, the functions take at least as
many arguments as their corresponding constructors.
This patch simplifies the add-family functions. Now, the functions
take a symbol instead of arguments to construct a symbol. If there's
no existing symbol, a given symbol is memcpy'ed to the symbol table.
Otherwise, the functions attempt to merge the existing and a given
new symbol.
I also eliminated `CanOmitFromDynSym` parameter, so that the functions
take really one argument.
Symbol classes are trivially constructible, so looks like constructing
them to pass to add-family functions is as cheap as passing a lot of
arguments to the functions. A quick benchmark showed that this patch

The reason for this is that DwarfLineTable could not detect section which
corresponds to specified address(because address is the local to the
section). And as the result it could not select proper sequence in the
line table. The fix is to pass SectionIndex with the address. So that it
would be possible to differentiate addresses from various sections. With

Summary:
In ld.bfd/gold, --no-allow-shlib-undefined is the default when linking
an executable. This patch implements a check to error on undefined
symbols in a shared object, if all of its DT_NEEDED entries are seen.
Our approach resembles the one used in gold, achieves a good balance to
be useful but not too smart (ld.bfd traces all DSOs and emulates the
behavior of a dynamic linker to catch more cases).
The error is issued based on the symbol table, different from undefined
reference errors issued for relocations. It is most effective when there
are DSOs that were not linked with -z defs (e.g. when static sanitizers
runtime is used).
gold has a comment that some system libraries on GNU/Linux may have
spurious undefined references and thus system libraries should be
excluded (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6811). The
story may have changed now but we make --allow-shlib-undefined the
default for now. Its interaction with -shared can be discussed in the
future.

Summary:
lld discards .gnu.linonce.* sections work around a bug in glibc.
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20543
Unfortunately, the Linux kernel uses a section named
.gnu.linkonce.this_module to store infomation about kernel modules. The
kernel reads data from this section when loading kernel modules, and
errors if it fails to find this section. The current behavior of lld
discards this section when kernel modules are linked, so kernel modules
linked with lld are unloadable by the linux kernel.
The Linux kernel should use a comdat section instead of .gnu.linkonce.
The minimum version of binutils supported by the kernel supports comdat
sections. The kernel is also not relying on the old linkonce behavior;
it seems to have chosen a name that contains a deprecated GNU feature.
Changing the section name now in the kernel would require all kernel
modules to be recompiled to make use of the new section name. Instead,
rather than discarding .gnu.linkonce.*, let's discard the more specific
section name to continue working around the glibc issue while supporting
linking Linux kernel modules.

Previously, we uncompress all compressed sections before doing anything.
That works, and that is conceptually simple, but that could results in
a waste of CPU time and memory if uncompressed sections are then
discarded or just copied to the output buffer.
In particular, if .debug_gnu_pub{names,types} are compressed and if no
-gdb-index option is given, we wasted CPU and memory because we
uncompress them into newly allocated bufers and then memcpy the buffers
to the output buffer. That temporary buffer was redundant.
This patch changes how to uncompress sections. Now, compressed sections
are uncompressed lazily. To do that, `Data` member of `InputSectionBase`
is now hidden from outside, and `data()` accessor automatically expands
an compressed buffer if necessary.
If no one calls `data()`, then `writeTo()` directly uncompresses
compressed data into the output buffer. That eliminates the redundant
memory allocation and redundant memcpy.
This patch significantly reduces memory consumption (20 GiB max RSS to
15 Gib) for an executable whose .debug_gnu_pub{names,types} are in total
5 GiB in an uncompressed form.

we follow ld.bfd's lead and do not error if there is a clash between an

I'm proposing a new command line flag, --warn-backrefs in this patch.
The flag and the feature proposed below don't exist in GNU linkers
nor the current lld.
--warn-backrefs is an option to detect reverse or cyclic dependencies
between static archives, and it can be used to keep your program
compatible with GNU linkers after you switch to lld. I'll explain the
feature and why you may find it useful below.
lld's symbol resolution semantics is more relaxed than traditional
Unix linkers. Therefore,
ld.lld foo.a bar.o
succeeds even if bar.o contains an undefined symbol that have to be
resolved by some object file in foo.a. Traditional Unix linkers
don't allow this kind of backward reference, as they visit each
file only once from left to right in the command line while
resolving all undefined symbol at the moment of visiting.
In the above case, since there's no undefined symbol when a linker
visits foo.a, no files are pulled out from foo.a, and because the
linker forgets about foo.a after visiting, it can't resolve
undefined symbols that could have been resolved otherwise.
That lld accepts more relaxed form means (besides it makes more
sense) that you can accidentally write a command line or a build
file that works only with lld, even if you have a plan to
distribute it to wider users who may be using GNU linkers. With
--check-library-dependency, you can detect a library order that
doesn't work with other Unix linkers.
The option is also useful to detect cyclic dependencies between
static archives. Again, lld accepts
ld.lld foo.a bar.a
even if foo.a and bar.a depend on each other. With --warn-backrefs
it is handled as an error.
Here is how the option works. We assign a group ID to each file. A
file with a smaller group ID can pull out object files from an
archive file with an equal or greater group ID. Otherwise, it is a
reverse dependency and an error.
A file outside --{start,end}-group gets a fresh ID when
instantiated. All files within the same --{start,end}-group get the
same group ID. E.g.
ld.lld A B --start-group C D --end-group E
A and B form group 0, C, D and their member object files form group
1, and E forms group 2. I think that you can see how this group
assignment rule simulates the traditional linker's semantics.

This fixes pr36623.
The problem is that we have to parse versions out of names before LTO
so that LTO can use that information.
When we get the LTO produced .o files, we replace the previous symbols
with the LTO produced ones, but they still have @ in their names.
We could just trim the name directly, but calling parseSymbolVersion
to do it is simpler.

Some tools (dwarfdump for example) get confused by the current -O0 -r
output since it has multiple copies of .debug_str.
We cannot just merge sections with the same name as they can have
different sh_entsize.
We could have duplicated logic for merging sections based on name and
sh_entsize, but it seems better to just use the existing logic by
enabling optimizations.

SharedFile::parseRest function grew organically and got a bit hard to
understand. This patch refactor it. This patch also adds comments.

Previously, we used 0 as an alias for VER_NDX_GLOBAL and had a dummy
entry in SharedFile::Verdefs so that the access to the array is within
its boundary. But that's not straightforwad. We can just stop doing both.

Our code assumes all input sections in an output SHF_LINK_ORDER
section has SHF_LINK_ORDER flag. We do not check that and that can cause a crash.
That happens because we call
std::stable_sort(Sections.begin(), Sections.end(), compareByFilePosition);,
where compareByFilePosition predicate does not expect to see
null when calls getLinkOrderDep.
The same might happen when sections refer to non-regular sections.
Test cases demonstrate the issues, patch fixes them.

We don't need to handle an object file having more than one symbol table,
so as soon as we find the first one, we can process it and then return
from the function.

addElfSymbols and readJustSymbolsFile still has duplicate code, but
I didn't come up with a good idea to eliminate them. Since this patch
is an improvement, I'm sending this for review.

LLD uses the debug info and debug line sections to determine the location of
e.g. references to undefined symbols, when producing error messages. In the
event that debug info was present, but debug line parsing failed for some
reason, then a nullptr would end up being dereferenced by the location-lookup
code.

It should be possible to resolve undefined symbols in dynamic libraries
using symbols defined in a linker script.

There seems to be no reason to collect this list of symbols.
Also fix a bug where --exclude-libs would apply to all symbols that
appear in an archive's symbol table, even if the relevant archive
member was not added to the link.

MIPS BFD linker puts _gp_disp symbol into DSO files and assigns zero
version definition index to it. This value means 'unversioned local
symbol' while _gp_disp is a section global symbol. We have to handle
this bug in the LLD because BFD linker is used for building MIPS
toolchain libraries.

We did not report valid filename for duplicate symbol error when
symbol came from binary input file.
Patch fixes it.

r323476 added support for DW_FORM_line_strp, and incorrectly made that
depend on having a DWARFUnit available. We shouldn't be tracking
.debug_line_str in DWARFUnit after all. After this patch, I can do an
NFC follow up and undo a bunch of the "plumbing" part of r323476.

We normally avoid "switch (Config->EKind)", but in this case I think
it is worth it.
It is only executed when there is an error and it allows detemplating
a lot of code.
