The ARM Exception handling ABI requires that all ARM exception index
table sections have a prefix of .ARM.exidx and are combined into a
single contiguous block either in their own output section or as part
of another output section.
In general clang will output a single .ARM.exidx section per object,
but will use .ARM.exidx.<section name> when -ffunction-sections is used.
This change canonicalizes the names of sections with the .ARM.exidx
prefix to just .ARM.exidx, which ensures that there is only a single
output section.

This patch is opposite to D19024, which made this symbols to be hidden by default.
Unfortunately FreeBSD loader wants to see
start_set_modmetadata_set/stop_set_modmetadata_set in the dynamic symbol table.
They were not placed there because had hidden visibility.
Patch makes them to have default visibility again.

The linker will normally set the LMA equal to the VMA.
You can change that by using the AT keyword.
The expression lma that follows the AT keyword specifies
the load address of the section.
Patch implements this keyword.

One reason why we are (ab)using OutputSectionFactory class is
because it owns output sections. Technically there's no need
to have it own sections. So, this patch transfers the ownership
to Out<ELFT>.
llvm-svn: 278452
Even if an output is not a dynamic object, the output may have
.{preinit,init,fini} sections. Therefore, managing these sections
as Out<ELFT>::Dynamic's members is not correct.

The Factory class is too object-oriented-ish and easy to be abused.
This patch reduces dependency to that class. Eventually we want to
remove the dependency to that class from LinkerScript.

Previously, we incrementally updated the reuslting flag as we check
file flags, so it was not very clear who is updating what flags.
This patch makes them pure functions -- that has no side effect and
don't update arguments to improve readability.
Now each function construct a patial result, and all resutls are then
bitwise-OR'ed to construct the final result.
This patch also creates a new file, Mips.cpp, to move all these
MIPS functions to a separate file.

I faced that when tried to link FreeBSD kernel.
It was "duplicate symbol: _edata in (internal) and (internal)" error.
_data was a shared symbol that came from hack.so. At first it was replaced with DefinedRegular by the code
disabled in this patch and later when script tried to define the same symbol - the error was shown.
In the same situation (as given in testcase) ld defines them as UND. gold defines as ABS with zero value.
Patch just disables any operations of creating these symbols if script do layout.

The patch extends the `getMipsEFlags` function. Now in that function
we iterate over all object files, parse ELF header flags and merge them.
If a file is incompatible with previously analyzed ones we show an error
or warning. That can happen if, for example, we try to link files with
incompatible ABI, ISA, NAN encoding etc.
There is an alternative solution. We can check and merge flags and
reject incompatible input modules in the `isCompatible` function which
is called from the `SymbolTable::addFile` method. But in that case we
have to save and keep somewhere a merged ELF flags combination to use it
later in the writer.

All other singleton instances are accessible globally.

This adds InputSectionDescription command to represent
the input section declaration.
This leads to next cleanup:
SectionRule removed.
ScriptConfiguration::Sections mamber removed.
LinkerScript<ELFT>::getOutputSection() removed.

This change simplifies interaction between Writer and the linker script
because we can make needsInterpSection() a file-scope function.

LLD still does not produce a correct combination of MIPS ELF flags if
input files have different sets of ELF flags (i.e. EF_MIPS_ARCH_32 and
EF_MIPS_ARCH_32R2). But now we do not stick to "R2" ABI version and can
emit EF_MIPS_ARCH_32R6 for example.
llvm-svn: 276172
We will need to do something like this to support range extension
thunks since that process is iterative.
Doing this also has the advantage that when doing the regular
relocation scan the offset in the output section is known and we can
just store that. This reduces the number of times we have to run
getOffset and I think will allow a more specialized .eh_frame
representation.
By itself this is already a performance win.

In the last patch for --trace-symbol, I introduced a new symbol type
PlaceholderKind and store it to SymVector storage. It made all code
that iterates over SymVector to recognize and skip PlaceholderKind
symbols. I found that that's annoying.
In this patch, I removed PlaceholderKind and stop storing them to SymVector.
Now the information whether a symbol is being watched by --trace-symbol
is stored to the Symtab hash table.

Previously, each subclass of SymbolBody had a pointer to a source
file from which it was created. So, there was no single way to get
a source file for a symbol. We had getSourceFile<ELFT>(), but the
function was a bit inconvenient as it's a template.
This patch makes SymbolBody have a pointer to a source file.
If a symbol is not created from a file, the pointer has a nullptr.
