We picked common-page-size to match GNU ld. Recently, the resolution to GNU ld
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28824 (milestone: 2.39) switched
to max-page-size so that the last page can be protected by RELRO in case the
system page size is larger than common-page-size.
Thanks to our two RW PT_LOAD scheme (D58892), switching to max-page-size does
not change file size (while GNU ld's scheme may increase file size).

We currently hard code RELRO sections. When a custom section is between
DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN and DATA_SEGMENT_RELRO_END, we may report a spurious
`error: section: ... is not contiguous with other relro sections`. GNU ld
makes such sections RELRO.
glibc recently switched to default --with-default-link=no. This configuration
places `__libc_atexit` and others between DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN and
DATA_SEGMENT_RELRO_END. This patch allows such a ld.bfd --verbose
linker script to be fed into lld.

This reverts commit 764cd491b1, which I
incorrectly assumed NFC partly because there were no test coverage for the
non-relocatable non-emit-relocs case before 9d6d936243fe343abe89323a27c7241b395af541.
The interaction of {,-r,--emit-relocs} {,--discard-locals} {,--gc-sections} is
complex but without -r/--emit-relocs, --gc-sections does need to discard .L
symbols like --no-gc-sections. The behavior matches GNU ld.
This ELF note is aarch64 and Android-specific. It specifies to the
dynamic loader that specific work should be scheduled to enable MTE
protection of stack and heap regions.
Current synthesis of the ".note.android.memtag" ELF note is done in the
Android build system. We'd like to move that to the compiler. This patch
adds the --memtag-stack, --memtag-heap, and --memtag-mode={async, sync,
none} flags to the linker, which synthesises the note for us.
Future changes will add -fsanitize=memtag* flags to clang which will
pass these through to lld.
Depends on D119381.

addSectionSymbols suppresses the STT_SECTION symbol if the first input section
is non-SHF_MERGE synthetic. This is incorrect when the first input section is synthetic
while a non-synthetic input section exists:
* `.bss : { *(COMMON) *(.bss) }`
(abc388ed3c regressed the case because
COMMON symbols precede .bss in the absence of a linker script)
* Place a synthetic section in another section: `.data : { *(.got) *(.data) }`
For `%t/a1` in the new test emit-relocs-synthetic.s, ld.lld produces incorrect
relocations with symbol index 0.

--build-id was introduced as "approximation of true uniqueness across all
binaries that might be used by overlapping sets of people". It does not require
the some resistance mentioned below. In practice, people just use --build-id=md5
for 16-byte build ID and --build-id=sha1 for 20-byte build ID.
BLAKE3 has 256-bit key length, which provides 128-bit security against
(second-)preimage, collision, and differentiability attacks. Its portable
implementation is fast. It additionally provides Arm Neon/AVX2/AVX-512. Just
implement --build-id={md5,sha1} with truncated BLAKE3.

In GNU ld, the definition precedence is: regular symbol assignment > relocatable object definition > `PROVIDE` symbol assignment.
GNU ld's internal linker scripts define the non-reserved (by C and C++)
edata/end/etext with `PROVIDE` so the relocatable object definition takes
precedence. This makes sense because `int end;` is valid.
We currently redefine such symbols if they are COMMON, but not if they are
regular definitions, so `int end;` with -fcommon is essentially a UB in ld.lld.
Fix this (also improve consistency and match GNU ld) by using the
`isDefined` code path for `isCommon`. In GNU ld, reserved identifiers like
`__ehdr_start` do not use `PROVIDE`, while we treat them all as `PROVIDE`, this
seems fine.

In many call sites we know uncompression cannot happen (non-SHF_ALLOC, or the
data (even if compressed) must have been uncompressed by a previous pass).
Prefer rawData in these cases. data() increases code size and prevents
optimization on rawData.
Main motivation: including `llvm/CodeGen/CommandFlags.h` in
`CommonLinkerContext.h` means that the declaration of `llvm::Reloc` is
visible in any file that includes `CommonLinkerContext.h`. Since our
cpp files have both `using namespace llvm` and `using namespace
lld::macho`, this results in conflicts with `lld::macho::Reloc`.
I suppose we could put `llvm::Reloc` into a nested namespace, but in general,
I think we should avoid transitively including too many header files in
a very widely used header like `CommonLinkerContext.h`.
RegisterCodeGenFlags' ctor initializes a bunch of function-`static`
structures and does nothing else, so it should be fine to "initialize"
it as a temporary stack variable rather than as a file static.

Currently `this->getName() == newSym.getName()`.
By keeping the old nameData/nameSize, newSym's nameData/nameSize will be
ignored. The call sites can avoid calling getName().
printTraceSymbol needs to take the symbol name since `other`'s name is empty.
adjustSectionsBeforeSorting updates some output section attributes
(alignment/flags) and removes discardable empty sections. When it is called,
INSERT commands have not been processed. Therefore the flags propagation rule
may not affect output sections defined in an INSERT command properly.
Fix this by moving processInsertCommands before adjustSectionsBeforeSorting.
adjustSectionsBeforeSorting is somewhat misnamed. The order between it and
sortInputSections does not matter. With the pass shuffle, the name of
adjustSectionsBeforeSorting becomes wrong. Therefore rename it. The new
name is not set into stone. The function mixes several tasks and the
code may be refactored in a way that we may give them more meaningful
names.
With this patch, I think the behavior of attribute propagation becomes more
reasonable. In particular, in the absence of non-INSERT SECTIONS,
inserting a section after a SHF_ALLOC one will give us a SHF_ALLOC section,
not a non-SHF_ALLOC one (see linkerscript/insert-after.test).

Previously an InputSectionBase is dead (`partition==0`) by default.
SyntheticSection calls markLive and BssSection overrides that with markDead.
It is more natural to make InputSectionBase live by default and let
--gc-sections mark InputSectionBase dead.
When linking a Release build of clang:
* --no-gc-sections:, the removed `inputSections` loop decreases markLive time from 4ms to 1ms.
* --gc-sections: the extra `inputSections` loop increases markLive time from 0.181296s to 0.188526s.
This is as of we lose the removing one `inputSections` loop optimization (4374824ccf).
I believe the loss can be mitigated if we refactor markLive.
* `RelocationBaseSection::addReloc` increases `numRelativeRelocs`, which
duplicates the work done by RelocationSection<ELFT>::writeTo.
* --pack-dyn-relocs=android has inappropropriate DT_RELACOUNT.
AndroidPackedRelocationSection does not necessarily place relative relocations
in the front and DT_RELACOUNT might cause semantics error (though our
implementation doesn't and Android bionic doesn't use DT_RELACOUNT anyway.)
Move `llvm::partition` to a new function `partitionRels` and compute
`numRelativeRelocs` there. Now `RelocationBaseSection::addReloc` is trivial and
can be moved to the header to enable inlining.
The rest of DynamicReloc and `-z combreloc` handling is moved to the
non-template `RelocationBaseSection::computeRels` to decrease code size. My
x86-64 lld executable is 44+KiB smaller.
While here, rename `sort` to `combreloc`.
Move all variables at file-scope or function-static-scope into a hosting structure (lld::CommonLinkerContext) that lives at lldMain()-scope. Drivers will inherit from this structure and add their own global state, in the same way as for the existing COFFLinkerContext.
