LTO code may end up mixing bitcode files from various sources varying in
their use of opaque pointer types. The current strategy to decide
between opaque / typed pointers upon the first bitcode file loaded does
not work here, since we could be loading a non-opaque bitcode file first
and would then be unable to load any files with opaque pointer types
later.
So for LTO this:
- Adds an `lto::Config::OpaquePointer` option and enforces an upfront
decision between the two modes.
- Adds `-opaque-pointers`/`-no-opaque-pointers` options to the gold
plugin; disabled by default.
- `--opaque-pointers`/`--no-opaque-pointers` options with
`-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers`/`-plugin-opt=-no-opaque-pointers`
aliases to lld; disabled by default.
- Adds an `-lto-opaque-pointers` option to the `llvm-lto2` tool.
- Changes the clang driver to pass `-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers` to
the linker in LTO modes when clang was configured with opaque
pointers enabled by default.
This fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/55377

This flag is added by clang::driver::tools::addLTOOptions() and was causing
errors for me when building the llvm-test-suite repository with LTO and
-DTEST_SUITE_COLLECT_STATS=ON. This replaces the --stats-file= option
added in 1c04b52b25 since the flag is only
used for LTO and should therefore be in the -plugin-opt= namespace.
Additionally, this commit fixes the `REQUIRES: asserts` that was added in

After 1af25a9860, we stop unconditionally
retaining wrapped symbols, which means that LTO's summary-based global
dead stripping can eliminate them even if they'll be referenced by a
linker script after the wrapping is performed. Mark symbols referenced
in linker scripts as `referenced` in addition to `isUsedInRegularObj`,
so that the wrapping logic correctly sets `referencedAfterWrap` for the
symbols which will be referenced after wrapping, which will prevent LTO
from eliminating them.
An alternative would have been to change the `referencedAfterWrap` logic
to look at `isUsedInRegularObj` in addition to `referenced`, but
`isUsedInRegularObj` is also set in other places (e.g. for the entry
symbol), and it's not clear that we want `referencedAfterWrap` to take
all those places into account, so it seemed better to keep that logic
as-is and instead set `referenced` for linker script-referenced symbols.

We were previously only omitting the original of a wrapped symbol if it
was not used by an object file and undefined. We can tighten the second

drop a previous check (added in https://reviews.llvm.org/D118756) that
was only covering some such symbols.

We were previously not correctly wrapping symbols that were only
produced during LTO codegen and unreferenced before then, or symbols
only referenced from such symbols. The root cause was that we weren't
marking the wrapped symbol as used if we only saw the use after LTO
codegen, leading to the failed wrapping.
Fix this by explicitly tracking whether a symbol will become referenced
after wrapping is done. We can use this property to tell LTO to preserve
such symbols, instead of overload isUsedInRegularObj for this purpose.
Since we're no longer setting isUsedInRegularObj for all symbols which
will be wrapped, its value at the time of performing the wrapping in the
symbol table will accurately reflect whether the symbol was actually
used in an object (including in an LTO-generated object), and we can
propagate that value to the wrapped symbol and thereby ensure we wrap
correctly.
This incorrect wrapping was the only scenario I was aware of where we
produced an invalid PLT relocation, which D123985 started diagnosing,
and with it fixed, we lose the test for that diagnosis. I think it's
worth keeping the diagnosis though, in case we run into other issues in
the future which would be caught by it.

D86142 introduced --fortran-common and defaulted it to true (matching GNU ld
but deviates from gold/macOS ld64). The default state was motivated by transparently
supporting some FORTRAN 77 programs (Fortran 90 deprecated common blocks).
Now I think it again. I believe we made a mistake to change the default:
* this is a weird and legacy rule, though the breakage is very small
* --fortran-common introduced complexity to parallel symbol resolution and will slow down it
* --fortran-common more likely causes issues when users mix COMMON and
STB_GLOBAL definitions (see https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/48570 and
https://maskray.me/blog/2022-02-06-all-about-common-symbols).
I have seen several issues in our internal projects and Android.
On the other hand, --no-fortran-common is safer since
COMMON/STB_GLOBAL have the same semantics related to archive member extraction.
Therefore I think we should switch back, not punishing the common uage.
A platform wanting --fortran-common can implement ld.lld as a shell script
wrapper around `lld -flavor gnu --fortran-common "$@"`.

To decouple symbol initialization and section initialization, `Defined::section`
assignment should be postponed after input file parsing. To avoid spurious
duplicate definition error due to two definitions in COMDAT groups of the same
signature, we should postpone the duplicate symbol check.
The function is called postScan instead of a more specific name like
checkDuplicateSymbols, because we may merge Symbol::mergeProperties into
postScan. It is placed after compileBitcodeFiles to apply to ET_REL files
produced by LTO. This causes minor diagnostic regression
for skipLinkedOutput configurations: ld.lld --thinlto-index-only a.bc b.o
(bitcode definition prevails) won't detect duplicate symbol error. I think this
is an acceptable compromise. The important cases where (a) both files are
bitcode or (b) --thinlto-index-only is unused are still detected.

In many call sites we know uncompression cannot happen (non-SHF_ALLOC, or the

optimization on rawData.
https://maskray.me/blog/2022-01-16-archives-and-start-lib
For every definition in an extracted archive member, we intern the symbol twice,
once for the archive index entry, once for the .o symbol table after extraction.
This is inefficient.
Symbols in a --start-lib ObjFile/BitcodeFile are only interned once because the
result is cached in symbols[i].
Just handle an archive using the --start-lib code path. We can therefore remove
ArchiveFile and LazyArchive. For many projects, archive member extraction ratio
is high and it is a net performance win. Linking a Release build of clang is
1.01x as fast.
Note: --start-lib scans symbols in the same order that llvm-ar adds them to the
index, so in the common case the semantics should be identical. If the archive
symbol table was created in a different order, or is incomplete, this strategy
may have different semantics. Such cases are considered user error.
The `is neither ET_REL nor LLVM bitcode` error is changed to a warning.
Previously an archive may have such members without a diagnostic. Using a
warning prevents breakage.
* For some tests, the diagnostics get improved where we did not consider
the archive member name: `b.a:` => `b.a(b.o):`.
* `no-obj.s`: the link is now allowed, matching GNU ld
* `archive-no-index.s`: the `is neither ET_REL nor LLVM bitcode` diagnostic is
demoted to a warning.
* `incompatible.s`: even when an archive is unextracted, we may report an
"incompatible with" error.

I recently decreased sizeof(SymbolUnion) by 8 and decreased memory usage quite a

In GNU ld, -dc only affects -r links and causes COMMON symbols to be allocated.
--no-define-common is defined to make COMMON symbols undefined for -shared.
AIUI --no-define-common is a workaround around glibc 2.1 time and not really useful.
gold confuses --define-common with -d/FORCE_COMMON_ALLOCATION and implements
--define-common with -d semantics. Its --no-define-common is incompatible with
GNU ld.
In ld.lld, b2a23cf3c0 fixed the default -r
behavior for COMMON symbols but ported the incompatible gold
--[no-]define-common. To the best of my knowledge, no project uses -dp
--[no-]define-common. So just remove these options.
-d/-dc are used by the following projects:
* grub grub-core/genmod.sh.in uses -Wl,-r,-d (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2022-02/msg00088.html)
* FreeBSD crunchgen uses -Wl,-dc (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D34215)
A no-op implementation works for them. Only when a program inspects relocatable
output by itself and does not recognize COMMON symbols, there may be a problem.
This is an extremely unlikely case.

By keeping the old nameData/nameSize, newSym's nameData/nameSize will be

printTraceSymbol needs to take the symbol name since `other`'s name is empty.
There's a couple of motivations here:
* LLD 12 (which I was originally testing with) was adding an undefined
symbol to the symbol table if you attempted to wrap an unreferenced
lazy symbol, which would later break `--no-allow-shlib-undefined`. LLD
on main actually produces a weak undefined symbol, so this doesn't
break anyway, but it's cleaner to not have the weak undefined symbol
as well. The new behavior also matches bfd and gold.
* PROVIDE in a linker script referencing a wrapped symbol would think
that an otherwise-unreferenced lazy symbol which was wrapped was
actually referenced, and therefore proceed with the definition, which
goes against expectations. The new behavior also matches bfd and gold.
