This is https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=39857.
I added the comment with much more details to the bug page,
the short version is below.
The following script and code demonstrates the issue:
aliasto__text = __text;
SECTIONS {
.text 0x1000 : { __text = . ; *(.text) }
}
...
call aliasto__text
LLD fails with "cannot refer to absolute symbol: aliasto__text" error.
It happens because at the moment of scanning the relocations
we do not yet assign the correct/final/any section value for the symbol aliasto__text.
I made a change to Relocations.cpp to fix that.
Also, I had to remove the symbol-location.s test case completely, because now it does not
trigger any error. Since now all linker scripts symbols are resolved to constants, no
errors can be triggered at all it seems. I checked that it is consistent with the behavior
of bfd and gold (they do not trigger errors for the case from symbol-location.s), so it should
be OK. I.e. at least it is probably not the best possible, but natural behavior we obtained.

Summary:
If the output section contains only symbol assignments, we copy flags
from the previous sections. Don't set SHF_ALLOC if NonAlloc is true.
We also have to change the type from SHT_NOBITS to SHT_PROGBITS.
In ld.bfd, bfd_elf_get_default_section_type maps non-alloctable sections to SHT_PROGBITS.
Non-alloctable SHT_NOBITS sections do not make sense.

This generalizes code and also fixes the broken behavior shown in
one of our test cases for some targets, like x86-64.
The issue occurs when the forward declarations are used in the script.
One of the samples is:
SECTIONS {
foo = ADDR(.text) - ABSOLUTE(ADDR(.text));
};
In that case, we have a broken output when output target does
not use thunks. That happens because thunks creating code
(called from maybeAddThunks)
calls Script->assignAddresses() at least one more time,
what fixups the values. As a result final symbols values can
be different on AArch64 and x86, for example.
In this patch, I generalize and rename maybeAddThunks to
finalizeAddressDependentContent and now it is used and called
by all targets.

Patch by Gabriel Smith.
The address for a section would be evaluated before the region was
switched to. Because of this, the position within the region would not
be updated. After the region is swapped to the dot would be set to the
out of date position within the region, undoing the section address
evaluation.
To fix this, the region is swapped to before the section's address is
evaluated. As part of the fallout of this, expandMemoryRegions needed
to be gated in setDot on the condition that the evaluated address is
less than the dot. This is for the case where sections are not listed
from lowest address to highest address.
Finally, a test for the case where sections are listed "out of order"
was added.

Patch by Robert O'Callahan.
Rust projects tend to link in all object files from all dependent
libraries and rely on --gc-sections to strip unused code and data.
Unfortunately --gc-sections doesn't currently strip any debuginfo
associated with GC'ed sections, so lld links in the full debuginfo from
all dependencies even if almost all that code has been discarded. See
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/56068 for some details.
Properly stripping debuginfo for discarded sections would be difficult,
but a simple approach that helps significantly is to mark debuginfo
sections as live only if their associated object file has at least one
live code/data section. This patch does that. In a (contrived but not
totally artificial) Rust testcase linked above, it reduces the final
binary size from 46MB to 5.1MB.

Summary:
Based on Peter Collingbourne's suggestion in D56828.
Before D56828: PT_LOAD(.data PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) .bss)
Old: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) .data .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro)) PT_LOAD(.data. .bss)
The new layout reflects the runtime memory mappings.
By having two PT_LOAD segments, we can utilize the NOBITS part of the
first PT_LOAD and save bytes for .bss.rel.ro.
.bss.rel.ro is currently small and only used by copy relocations of
symbols in read-only segments, but it can be used for other purposes in
the future, e.g. if a relro section's statically relocated data is all
zeros, we can move it to .bss.rel.ro.

Old: PT_LOAD(.data | PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .data .bss)
The placement of | indicates page alignment caused by PT_GNU_RELRO. The
new layout has simpler rules and saves space for many cases.
Old size: roundup(.data) + roundup(.data.rel.ro)
New size: roundup(.data.rel.ro + .bss.rel.ro) + .data
Other advantages:
* At runtime the 3 memory mappings decrease to 2.
* start(PT_TLS) = start(PT_GNU_RELRO) = start(RW PT_LOAD). This
simplifies binary manipulation tools.
GNU strip before 2.31 discards PT_GNU_RELRO if its
address is not equal to the start of its associated PT_LOAD.
This has been fixed by https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=f2731e0c374e5323ce4cdae2bcc7b7fe22da1a6f

* Before, .got.plt (non-relro by default) was placed before .got (relro

(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36555). With the new ordering, we

Summary:
The following patch adds the "None" line to the section to segment mapping dump.
That line lists the sections that do not belong to any segment.
I realize that this change differs from GNU readelf which does not display the latter information.
I'd rather not add this "feature" under a command line option. I think that might introduce confusion, since users would have to
make an additional decision as to if they want to see all of the section-to-segment map or just a subset of it.
Another option is to only print the "None" line if the `--section-mapping` option is passed; however,
that might also introduce some confusion, because the section-to-segment map would be different between`--program-headers`
and the `--section-mapping` output. While the difference is just the "None" line, it seems that if we choose to display
the segment-to-section mapping, then we should always display the whole map including the sections
that do not belong to segments.

This patch adds a support for OUTPUT_FORMAT linker script directive.
Since I'm not 100% confident with BFD names you can use in the directive
for all architectures, I added only a few in this patch. We can add
other names for other archtiectures later.
We still do not support triple-style OUTPUT_FORMAT directive, namely,
OUTPUT_FORMAT(bfdname, big, little). If you pass -EL (little endian)
or -EB (big endian) to the linker, GNU linkers pick up big or little
as a BFD name, correspondingly, so that you can use a single linker
script for bi-endian processor. I'm not sure if we really need to
support that, so I'll leave it alone for now.
Note that -m takes precedence over OUTPUT_FORAMT, but we always parse
a BFD name given to OUTPUT_FORMAT for error checking. You cannot write
an invalid name in the OUTPUT_FORMAT directive.

GNU ld's manual says that TARGET(foo) is basically an alias for
`--format foo` where foo is a BFD target name such as elf64-x86-64.
Unlike GNU linkers, lld doesn't allow arbitrary BFD target name for
--format. We accept only "default", "elf" or "binary". This makes
situation a bit tricky because we can't simply make TARGET an alias for
--target.
A quick code search revealed that the usage number of TARGET is very
small, and the only meaningful usage is to switch to the binary mode.
Thus, in this patch, we handle only TARGET(elf.*) and TARGET(binary).

LLD removes empty output sections otherwise specified in the linker
script. Prior to this change however, if section descriptions included
ANY kind of symbol assignment, then the consequent output section would
not be removed, even if the assignment was marked with PROVIDE and not
actually triggered (i.e. the symbol was never referenced). This change
modifies the isDiscarable function to ignore such directives when
determining whether a section should be discarded, in keeping with
bfd's behaviour. Symbol assignments that do result in a symbol
definition will continue to result in a kept section (this is not
actually the same as bfd's behaviour, but it is simpler, and probably
makes more sense).

Currently, LLD supports ASSERT as a separate command.
We support two forms now.
Assign expression-form: . = ASSERT(0x100)
(old GNU ld required it and some scripts in the wild are still using
something like . = ASSERT((_end - _text <= (512 * 1024 * 1024)), "kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE");
Nowadays above is not a mandatory form and command-like form is commonly used:
ASSERT(<expr>, "text);

It looks like (2) is just a short version of (1) then.
GNU ld does *not* list ASSERT as a SECTIONS command:

1. We currently change and reuse Size field as a value assigned. Changing size is

because we add two empty synthetic sections and increase size twice by 1.
(See PR37011: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37011)

This is part of PR36515.
With some linkerscripts it is possible to get file offset overlaps
and overflows. Currently LLD checks overlaps in checkNoOverlappingSections().
And also we allow broken output with --no-inhibit-exec.
Problem is that sometimes final offset of sections is completely broken
and we calculate output file size wrong and might crash.
Patch implements check to verify that there is no output section
which offset exceeds file size.

This fixes PR36598.
LLD currently crashes when we have empty output section
with SHF_LINK_ORDER flag. This might happen if we place an
empty synthetic section in the linker script, but keep output
section alive with the use of additional symbol, for example.
The patch fixes the issue by dropping all special flags
for empty sections.

AFTER keyword is mandatory and consume() was

this patch, testcase shows the issue.
llvm-svn: 327260
This implements INSERT AFTER in a following way:
During reading scripts it collects all insert statements.
After we done and read all files it inserts statements into script commands list.
With that:
* Rest of code does know nothing about INSERT.
* Approach is straightforward and have no visible limitations.
* It is also easy to support INSERT BEFORE (was seen in clang code once).
* Should work for PR35877 and similar cases.
Cons:
* It assumes we have "main" scripts that describes sections.

This is PR36515.
Currenly if we have a script like .debug_info 0 : { *(.debug_info) },
we would not remove this section and keep it in the output.
That does not work, because it is common case for
debug sections to have a zero address expression.
Patch changes behavior so that we remove only sections
that do not use symbols in its expressions.

This fixes pr36475.
I think this code can be simplified a bit, but I would like to check
in the more direct fix if we are in agreement on the direction and
then refactor.
This is not something that bfd does. The issue is not noticed in bfd
because it keeps fewer sections from the linkerscript in the output.
The reasons why it seems reasonable to do this:
- As George noticed, we would still keep the flags if the output
section had both an empty synthetic section and a regular section
- We need an heuristic to find the flags of output sections. Using the
flags of a synthetic section that would have been there seems a
reasonable heuristic.
llvm-svn: 326137
This continues direction started in D43069.
We can keep sections that are explicitly assigned to segment in script.
It helps to simplify code.

This responds to PR36475,
r325763 led to unexprected layout change, though
new behavior seems to be more correct.
Previously we could have following script:
.foo : { *(.foo) }
.bar : { *(.synthetic_empty) BYTE(0x11) }}
where synthetic_empty is a synthetic section which is empty and
hence removed by linker.
Before r325763 .bar would receive section flags from .synthetic_empty,
but after this revision it receives flags the same as .foo section has.
It is the same as if there would not be any synthetic_empty section in a script,
so looks reasonable and consistent behavior:
.foo : { *(.foo) }
.bar : { BYTE(0x11) }}
Patch adds testcase to document it.

This is PR35740 which now crashes
because we remove unused synthetic sections incorrectly.
We can keep input section description and corresponding output
section live even if it must be empty and dead.

Summary:
While trying to make a linker script behave the same way with lld as it did
with bfd, I discovered that lld currently doesn't diagnose overlapping
output sections. I was getting very strange runtime failures which I
tracked down to overlapping sections in the resulting binary. When linking
with ld.bfd overlapping output sections are an error unless
--noinhibit-exec is passed and I believe lld should behave the same way
here to avoid surprising crashes at runtime.
The patch also uncovered an errors in the tests: arm-thumb-interwork-thunk
was creating a binary where .got.plt was placed at an address overlapping
with .got.

This should fix PR36017.
The root problem is that we were creating a PT_LOAD just for the
header. That was technically valid, but inconvenient: we should not be
making the ELF discontinuous.
The solution is to allow a section with LMAExpr to be added to a
PT_LOAD if that PT_LOAD doesn't already have a LMAExpr.
llvm-svn: 323625
This fixes the crash reported at PR36083.
The issue is that we were trying to put all the sections in the same
PT_LOAD and crashing trying to write past the end of the file.
This also adds accounting for used space in LMARegion, without it all
3 PT_LOADs would have the same physical address.

The problem we had with it is that anything inside an AT is an

Previously we always handled -defsym after other commands in command line.
That made impossible to overload values set by -defsym from linker script:
test.script:
foo = 0x22;
-defsym=foo=0x11 -script t.script
would always set foo to 0x11.
That is inconstent with common logic which allows to override command line
options. it is inconsistent with bfd behavior and seems breaks assumption that
-defsym is the same as linker script assignment, as -defsyms always handled out of
command line order.
Patch fixes the handling order.

Previously, in r320472, I moved the calculation of section offsets and sizes
for compressed debug sections into maybeCompress, which happens before
assignAddresses, so that the compression had the required information. However,
I failed to take account of relocations that patch such sections. This had two
effects:
1. A race condition existed when a debug section referred to a different debug
section (see PR35788).
2. References to symbols in non-debug sections would be patched incorrectly.
This is because the addresses of such symbols are not calculated until after
assignAddresses (this was a partial regression caused by r320472, but they
could still have been broken before, in the event that a custom layout was used
in a linker script).
assignAddresses does not need to know about the output section size of
non-allocatable sections, because they do not affect the value of Dot. This
means that there is no longer a reason not to support custom layout of
compressed debug sections, as far as I'm aware. These two points allow for
delaying when maybeCompress can be called, removing the need for the loop I
previously added to calculate the section size, and therefore the race
condition. Furthermore, by delaying, we fix the issues of relocations getting
incorrect symbol values, because they have now all been finalized.
llvm-svn: 321986
We normally want to ignore SHT_NOBITS sections when computing
offsets. The sh_offset of section itself seems to be irrelevant and
- If the section is in the middle of a PT_LOAD, it will make no
difference on the computed offset of the followup section.
- If it is in the end of a PT_LOAD, we want to avoid its alignment
changing the offset of the followup sections.
The issue is if it is at the start of the PT_LOAD. In that case we do
have to align it so that the following sections have congruent address
and offset module the page size. We were not handling this case.
This should fix freebsd kernel link.

The ARM.exidx section contains a table of 8-byte entries with the first
word of each entry an offset to the function it describes and the second
word instructions for unwinding if an exception is thrown from that
function. The SHF_LINK_ORDER processing will order the table in ascending
order of the functions described by the exception table entries. As the
address range of an exception table entry is terminated by the next table
entry, it is possible to merge consecutive table entries that have
identical unwind instructions.
For this implementation we define a table entry to be identical if:
- Both entries are the special EXIDX_CANTUNWIND.
- Both entries have the same inline unwind instructions.
We do not attempt to establish if table entries that are references to
.ARM.extab sections are identical.
This implementation works at a granularity of a single .ARM.exidx
InputSection. If all entries in the InputSection are identical to the
previous table entry we can remove the InputSection. A more sophisticated
but more complex implementation would rewrite InputSection contents so that
duplicates within a .ARM.exidx InputSection can be merged.

We might crash in 'ARMExidxSentinelSection::writeTo()' because it expected
the sentinel entry to be put in the same 'InputSectionDescription' as

case 'OutputSection::addSection()' creates a new 'InputSectionDescription'.
