In the post commit discussion of https://reviews.llvm.org/D116484 it was concluded that `--no-as-needed` should not be ignored. `--as-needed` stays ignored as it is already the default behaviour on COFF, which cannot be changed.
It’s still possible to build parts of the main llvm build (lld, clang etc) by symlinking them into llvm/tools.

Similar to D62188: a BitcodeFile's symbol table may be iterated twice, once in
--start-lib (lazy) state, and once in the non-lazy state. This patch
makes `parseLazy` save `symbols[i]` so that the non-lazy state does not need to
re-insert to the global symbol table. Avoiding a redundant `saver.save` may save
memory.
`Maximum resident set size (kbytes)` for a large --thinlto-index-only link:
* without the patch: 10164000
* with the patch: 10095716 (0.6% decrease)
Note: we can remove `saver.save` if `BitcodeCompiler::add` does not transfer the ownership
of `f.obj` in `checkError(ltoObj->add(std::move(f.obj), resols));`.

@tejohnson noticed that freeing MemoryBuffer instances right before
`lto->compile` can save RSS, likely because the memory can be reused by
LTO indexing (e.g. ThinLTO import/export lists).).
For ELFFileBase instances, symbol and section names are backed by MemoryBuffer,
so destroying MemoryBuffer would make some infrequent passes (parseSymbolVersion,
reportBackrefs) crash and make debugging difficult.
For a BitcodeFile, its content is completely unused, but destroying its
MemoryBuffer makes the buffer identifier inaccessible and may introduce
constraints for future changes.
This patch leverages madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) which achieves the major gain
without the latent issues.
`Maximum resident set size (kbytes): ` for a large --thinlto-index-only link:
* current behavior: 10146104KiB
* destroy MemoryBuffer instances: 8555240KiB
* madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) just bitcodeFiles and lazyBitcodeFiles: 8737372KiB
* madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) all MemoryBuffers: 8739796KiB (16% decrease)

LLVM core library supports demangling other mangled symbols other than itanium,
such as D and Rust. LLD should use those demanglers in order to output pretty
demangled symbols on error messages.

References from thread-local variable sections are treated as offsets
relative to the start of the thread-local data memory area, which is
initialized via copying all the TLV data sections (which are all
contiguous). If later data sections require a greater alignment than
earlier ones, the offsets of data within those sections won't be
guaranteed to aligned unless we normalize alignments. We therefore use
the largest alignment for all TLV data sections.

and remove associated make<XXX> calls.
gnuHash and sysvHash are unchanged, otherwise LinkerScript::discard would
destroy the objects which may be referenced by input section descriptions.
My x86-64 lld executable is 121+KiB smaller.
New deleteFallThruJmpInsn calls `make<JumpInstrMod>` which cannot be called
concurrently. Losing parallelism is unfortunate but we can think of a better
approach if parallelism here justifies itself.
Placeholders (-y and redirectSymbols removed versioned symbols) are very rare and
the check just makes symbol table iteration slower. Most iterations filter out
placeholders anyway, so this change just drops the filter behavior.
For "Add symbols to symtabs", we need to ensure that redirectSymbols sets
isUsedInRegularObj to false when making a symbol placeholder, to avoid an
assertion failure in SymbolTableSection<ELFT>::writeTo.
My .text is 2KiB smaller. The speed-up linking chrome is 0.x%.
"Process symbol versions" may take 2+% time.
"Redirect symbols" may take 0.6% time.
This change speeds up the two passes and makes `*sym.getVersionSuffix()
== '@'` in the `undefined reference` diagnostic cleaner.
Linking chrome (no debug info) and another large program is 1.5% faster.
For empty-ver2.s: the behavior now matches GNU ld, though I'd consider the input
invalid and the exact behavior does not matter.
This temporarily increases sizeof(SymbolUnion), but allows us to mov GOT/PLT/etc
index members outside Symbol in the future.
Then, we can make TLSDESC and TLSGD use different indexes and support mixed
TLSDESC and TLSGD (tested by x86-64-tlsdesc-gd-mixed.s).
Note: needsTlsGd and needsTlsGdToIe may optionally be combined.
Test updates are due to reordered GOT entries.
It is fairly easy to forget SectionBase::repl after ICF.
Let ICF rewrite a Defined symbol's `section` field to avoid references to
SectionBase::repl in subsequent passes. This slightly improves the --icf=none
performance due to less indirection (maybe for --icf={safe,all} as well if most
symbols are Defined).
With this change, there is only one reference to `repl` (--gdb-index D89751).
We can undo f4fb5fd752 (`Move Repl to SectionBase.`)
but move `repl` to `InputSection` instead.
