A more efficient PLT sequence can be used when the distance between the
.plt and the end of the .plt.got is less than 128 Megabytes, which is
frequently true. We fall back to the old sequence when the offset is larger
than 128 Megabytes. This gives us an alternative to forcing the longer
entries with --long-plt as we gracefully fall back to it as needed.
See ELF for the ARM Architecture Appendix A for details of the PLT sequence.

I also changed the message to print both the ISA and the the architecture

The AArch64 unconditional branch and branch and link instructions have a
maximum range of 128 Mib. This is usually enough for most programs but
there are cases when it isn't enough. This change adds support for range
extension thunks to AArch64. For pc-relative thunks we follow the small
code model and use ADRP, ADD, BR. This has a limit of 4 gigabytes.

When an undefined weak reference has a PLT entry we must generate a range
extension thunk for any B or BL that can't reach the PLT entry.
This change explicitly looks for whether a PLT entry exists rather than
assuming that weak references never need PLT entries unless Config->Shared
is in operation. This covers the case where we are linking an executable
with dynamic linking, hence a PLT entry will be needed for undefined weak
references. This case comes up in real programs over 32 Mb in size as there
is a B to a weak reference __gmon__start__ in the Arm crti.o for glibc.

microMIPS symbols including microMIPS PLT records created for regular
symbols needs to be marked by STO_MIPS_MICROMIPS flag in a symbol table.
Additionally microMIPS entries in a dynamic symbol table should have
configured less-significant bit. That allows to escape teaching a
dynamic linker about microMIPS symbols.

This change adds initial support for range extension thunks. All thunks must
be created within the first pass so some corner cases are not supported. A
follow up patch will add support for multiple passes.
With this change the existing tests arm-branch-error.s and
arm-thumb-branch-error.s now no longer fail with an out of range branch.
These have been renamed and tests added for the range extension thunk.

When an OutputSection is larger than the branch range for a Target we
need to place thunks such that they are always in range of their caller,
and sufficiently spaced to maximise the number of callers that can use
the thunk. We use the simple heuristic of placing the
ThunkSection at intervals corresponding to a target specific branch range.
If the OutputSection is small we put the thunks at the end of the executable
sections.

Summary:
The COFF linker and the ELF linker have long had similar but separate
Error.h and Error.cpp files to implement error handling. This change
introduces new error handling code in Common/ErrorHandler.h, changes the
COFF and ELF linkers to use it, and removes the old, separate
implementations.

Patch by vit9696.

static __global int Var = 0;
__global int* Ptr[] = {&Var};
...
In this case Var is a non premptable symbol and so its address can be used as the value of Ptr, with a base relative relocation that will add the delta between the ELF address and the actual load address. Such relocations do not require a symbol.
This also fixes LLD which was incorrectly generating a PCREL64 for this case.

We were using uint32_t as the type of relocation kind. It has a
readability issue because what Type really means in `uint32_t Type`
is not obvious. It could be a section type, a symbol type or a
relocation type.
Since we do not do any arithemetic operations on relocation types
(e.g. adding one to R_X86_64_PC32 doesn't make sense), it would be
more natural if they are represented as enums. Unfortunately, that
is not doable because relocation type definitions are spread into
multiple header files.
So I decided to use typedef. This still should be better than the
plain uint32_t because the intended type is now obvious.

If symbol has the STO_MIPS_MICROMIPS flag and requires a thunk to perform
call PIC from non-PIC functions, we need to generate a thunk with microMIPS
code.
llvm-svn: 314797
Currently LLD calls the `isMicroMips` routine to determine type of PLT entries
needs to be generated: regular or microMIPS. This routine checks ELF
header flags in the `FirstObj` to retrieve type of linked object files.
So if the first file does not contain microMIPS code, LLD will generate
PLT entries with regular (non-microMIPS) code only.
Ideally, if a PLT entry is referenced by microMIPS code only this entry
should contain microMIPS code, if a PLT entry is referenced by regular
code this entry should contain regular code. In a "mixed" case the PLT
entry can be either microMIPS or regular, but each "cross-mode-call" has
additional cost.
It's rather difficult to implement this ideal solution. But we can
assume that if there is an input object file with microMIPS code, the
most part of the code is microMIPS too. So we need to deduce type of PLT
entries based on finally calculated ELF header flags and do not check
only the first input object file.
This change implements this.
- The `getMipsEFlags` renamed to the `calcMipsEFlags`. The function
called from the `LinkerDriver::link`. Result is stored in
the Configuration::MipsEFlags field.
- The `isMicroMips` and `isMipsR6` routines access the `MipsEFlags`
field to get and check calculated ELF flags.
- New types of PLT records created when necessary.

The patch implements initial support of microMIPS code linking:
- Handle microMIPS specific relocations.
- Emit both R1-R5 and R6 microMIPS PLT records.
For now linking mixed set of regular and microMIPS object files is not
supported. Also the patch does not handle (setup and clear) the
least-significant bit of an address which is utilized as the ISA mode
bit and allows to make jump between regular and microMIPS code without
any thunks.

To support errata patching on AArch64 we need to be able to overwrite
an arbitrary instruction with a branch. For AArch64 it is sufficient to
always write all the bits of the branch instruction and not just the
immediate field. This is safe as the non-immediate bits of the branch
instruction are always the same.

The R_AARCH64_LDST<N>_ABS LO12_NC relocations where N is 8, 16, 32, 64 or
128 have a scaled immediate. For example R_AARCH64_LDST32_ABS_LO12_NC
shifts the calculated value right by 4. If the target symbol + relocation
addend is not aligned properly then bits of the answer will be lost.
This change adds an alignment check to the relocations to make sure the
target of the relocation is aligned properly. This matches the behavior of
GNU ld. The motivation is to catch ODR violations such as a declaration of
extern int foo, but a definition of bool foo as the compiler may use
R_AARCH64_LDST32_ABS_LO12_NC for the former, but not align the destination.

On many architectures gcc and clang will recognize _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ - .
and produce a relocation that can be processed without needing to know the
value of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. This is not always the case; for example ARM
gcc produces R_ARM_BASE_PREL but clang produces the more general
R_ARM_REL32 to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. To evaluate this relocation
correctly _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ must be defined to be the either the base of
the GOT or end of the GOT dependent on architecture..
If/when llvm-mc is changed to recognize _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ - . this
change will not be necessary for new objects. However there may still be
old objects and versions of clang.
