The Tag_ABI_VFP_args build attribute controls the procedure call standard
used for floating point parameters on ARM. The values are:
0 - Base AAPCS (FP Parameters passed in Core (Integer) registers
1 - VFP AAPCS (FP Parameters passed in FP registers)
2 - Toolchain specific (Neither Base or VFP)
3 - Compatible with all (No use of floating point parameters)
If the Tag_ABI_VFP_args build attribute is missing it has an implicit value
of 0.
We use the attribute in two ways:
- Detect a clash in calling convention between Base, VFP and Toolchain.
we follow ld.bfd's lead and do not error if there is a clash between an
implicit Base AAPCS caused by a missing attribute. Many projects
including the hard-float (VFP AAPCS) version of glibc contain assembler
files that do not use floating point but do not have Tag_ABI_VFP_args.
- Set the EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT or EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_HARD ELF header flag
for Base or VFP AAPCS respectively. This flag is used by some ELF
loaders.

We are already ICF'ing these sections as a unit with their dependent
sections, so they don't need to be considered for ICF individually.
This change also "fixes" slowness caused by our quadratic-in-group-size
relocation segregation algorithm on 32-bit ARM platforms with unwind
data and ICF on rodata. In this scenario almost every function's
.ARM.exidx is identical except for the targets of the relocations
that refer to the function and its .ARM.extab, which causes almost
all of the program's .ARM.exidx sections to be initially added to the
same class, which causes us to compare every such section with every
other such section.

If we fail to merge a secondary GOT with the primary GOT but so far only
one merged GOT has been created (the primary one), the final element in
MergedGots is the primary GOT. Thus we should not try to merge with this
final element passing IsPrimary=false, since this will ignore the fact
that the destination GOT does in fact need a header, and those extra two
entries can be enough to allow the merge to incorrectly occur. Instead
we should check for this case before attempting the second merge.

Under --icf=all we now only apply KeepUnique to non-executable

lld currently prepends the absolute path to itself to every diagnostic it

message hard to read.
There isn't a good reason for printing this path: if you want to know which lld
you're running, pass -v to clang – chances are that if you're unsure of this,
you're not only unsure when it errors out. Some people want an indication that
the diagnostic is from the linker though, so instead print just the basename of

Currently, getFdePC() returns uint64_t. Its because the following
encodings might use 8 bytes: DW_EH_PE_absptr and DW_EH_PE_udata8.
But caller assigns returned value to uint32_t field:
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/lld/blob/master/ELF/SyntheticSections.cpp#L508
Value is used for building .eh_frame_hdr section.
We use DW_EH_PE_sdata4 encoding for building it at this moment:
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/lld/blob/master/ELF/SyntheticSections.cpp#L2545
And that means that an overflow issue might happen if
DW_EH_PE_absptr/DW_EH_PE_udata8 address encodings are present
in .eh_frame. In that case, before this patch, we silently would
truncate the address and produced broken .eh_frame_hdr section.
It would be not hard to support real 64-bit values for
DW_EH_PE_absptr/DW_EH_PE_udata8 encodings, but it is
unclear if it is usefull and if we should do it.
Since nobody faced/reported it, int this patch I only implement
a check to stop producing broken output silently for now.

We produce broken ELF header now when the number of output sections is >= SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00).
ELF spec says (http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/2003-12-17/ch4.eheader.html):
e_shnum:
If the number of sections is greater than or equal to SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00), this member has the value zero
and the actual number of section header table entries is contained in the sh_size field of the section header at index 0.
(Otherwise, the sh_size member of the initial entry contains 0.)
e_shstrndx
If the section name string table section index is greater than or equal to SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00), this member has the
value SHN_XINDEX (0xffff) and the actual index of the section name string table section is contained in the sh_link field of
the section header at index 0. (Otherwise, the sh_link member of the initial entry contains 0.)
We did not set these fields correctly earlier. The patch fixes the issue.

R_X86_64_GOTOFF64 is a relocation type to set to a distance betwween
a symbol and the beginning of the .got section. Previously, we always
created a dynamic relocation for the relocation type even though it
can be resolved at link-time.
Creating a dynamic relocation for R_X86_64_GOTOFF64 caused link failure
for some programs that do have a relocation of the type in a .text
section, as text relocations are prohibited in most configurations.

Summary:
Previously LLD would not add any dynamic relocations and write a module
index of 1 which is not correct for the shared library case.
This can happen when a thread-local global variable is marked as local with
a version script. With this change I am now able to link all of the FreeBSD
base system for MIPS64 with LLD.

In glibc libc.so.6, the multiple versions of sys_errlist share the same Symbol instance. When sys_errlist is copy relocated, we would replace SharedSymbol with Defined in the first iteration of the following loop:
for (SharedSymbol *Sym : getSymbolsAt<ELFT>(SS))
Then in the second iteration, we think the symbol (which has been changed to Defined) is still SharedSymbol and screw up (the address ends up in the `Size` field).

Almost all entries inside MIPS GOT are referenced by signed 16-bit
index. Zero entry lies approximately in the middle of the GOT. So the
total number of GOT entries cannot exceed ~16384 for 32-bit architecture
and ~8192 for 64-bit architecture. This limitation makes impossible to
link rather large application like for example LLVM+Clang. There are two
workaround for this problem. The first one is using the -mxgot
compiler's flag. It enables using a 32-bit index to access GOT entries.
But each access requires two assembly instructions two load GOT entry
index to a register. Another workaround is multi-GOT. This patch
implements it.
Here is a brief description of multi-GOT for detailed one see the
following link https://dmz-portal.mips.com/wiki/MIPS_Multi_GOT.
If the sum of local, global and tls entries is less than 64K only single
got is enough. Otherwise, multi-got is created. Series of primary and
multiple secondary GOTs have the following layout:
```
- Primary GOT
Header
Local entries
Global entries
Relocation only entries
TLS entries
- Secondary GOT
Local entries
Global entries
TLS entries
...
```
All GOT entries required by relocations from a single input file
entirely belong to either primary or one of secondary GOTs. To reference
GOT entries each GOT has its own _gp value points to the "middle" of the
GOT. In the code this value loaded to the register which is used for GOT
access.
MIPS 32 function's prologue:
```
lui v0,0x0
0: R_MIPS_HI16 _gp_disp
addiu v0,v0,0
4: R_MIPS_LO16 _gp_disp
```
MIPS 64 function's prologue:
```
lui at,0x0
14: R_MIPS_GPREL16 main
```
Dynamic linker does not know anything about secondary GOTs and cannot
use a regular MIPS mechanism for GOT entries initialization. So we have
to use an approach accepted by other architectures and create dynamic
relocations R_MIPS_REL32 to initialize global entries (and local in case
of PIC code) in secondary GOTs. But ironically MIPS dynamic linker
requires GOT entries and correspondingly ordered dynamic symbol table
entries to deal with dynamic relocations. To handle this problem
relocation-only section in the primary GOT contains entries for all
symbols referenced in global parts of secondary GOTs. Although the sum
of local and normal global entries of the primary got should be less
than 64K, the size of the primary got (including relocation-only entries
can be greater than 64K, because parts of the primary got that overflow
the 64K limit are used only by the dynamic linker at dynamic link-time
and not by 16-bit gp-relative addressing at run-time.
The patch affects common LLD code in the following places:
- Added new hidden -mips-got-size flag. This flag required to set low
maximum size of a single GOT to be able to test the implementation using
small test cases.
- Added InputFile argument to the getRelocTargetVA function. The same
symbol referenced by GOT relocation from different input file might be
allocated in different GOT. So result of relocation depends on the file.
- Added new ctor to the DynamicReloc class. This constructor records
settings of dynamic relocation which used to adjust address of 64kb page
lies inside a specific output section.
With the patch LLD is able to link all LLVM+Clang+LLD applications and
libraries for MIPS 32/64 targets.

Currently, when LLD do a lookup for variables location, it uses DW_AT_name attribute.
That is not always enough.
Imagine code:
namespace A {
int bar = 0;
}
namespace Z {
int bar = 1;
}
int hoho;
In this case there are 3 variables and their debug attributes are following:
A::bar has: DW_AT_name [DW_FORM_string] ("bar") DW_AT_linkage_name [DW_FORM_strp] ( .debug_str[0x00000006] = "_ZN1A3barE")
Z::bar has: DW_AT_name [DW_FORM_string] ("bar") DW_AT_linkage_name [DW_FORM_strp] ( .debug_str[0x0000003f] = "_ZN1Z3barE")
hoho has: DW_AT_name [DW_FORM_strp] ( .debug_str[0x0000004a] = "hoho") and has NO DW_AT_linkage_name attribute. Because it would be
the same as DW_AT_name and DWARF producers avoids emiting excessive data.
Hence LLD should also use DW_AT_linkage_name when it is available.
(currently, LLD fails to report location correctly because thinks that A::bar and Z::bar are the same things)

--push-state implemented in this patch saves the states of --as-needed,

Since even GNU linkers save different flags, no one seems to care about the

I'm not personally happy about adding the --{push,pop}-state flags though.

PPC64 maintains a compiler managed got in the .toc section. When accessing a
global variable through got-indirect access, a .toc entry is created for the
variable. The relocation for the got-indirect access will refer to the .toc
section rather than the symbol that is actually accessed. The .toc entry
contains the address of the global variable. We evaluate the offset from
r2 (which is the TOC base) to the address of the toc entry for the global
variable. Currently, the .toc is not near the .got. This causes errors because
the offset from r2 to the toc section is too large. The linker needs to add
all the .toc input sections to the .got output section, merging the compiler
managed got with the linker got. This ensures that the offsets from the TOC
base to the toc entries are not too large.
This patch puts the .toc section right after the .got section.

Some MIPS relocations depend on "gp" value. By default, this value has
0x7ff0 offset from a .got section. But relocatable files produced by a
compiler or a linker might redefine this default value and we have to
use it for a calculation of the relocation result. When we generate EXE
or DSO it's trivial. Generating a relocatable output is more difficult
case because the linker does calculate relocations in this case and
cannot store individual "gp" values used by each input object file.
As a workaround we add the "gp" value to the relocation addend.
