As an optimization for ld64 sometimes it can be useful to not export any
symbols for top level binaries that don't need any exports, to do this
you can pass `-exported_symbols_list /dev/null`, or new with Xcode 14
(ld64 816) there is a `-no_exported_symbols` flag for the same behavior.
This reproduces this behavior where previously an empty exported symbols
list file would have been ignored.

It seems to be a bug in `LinkerDriver::findFile`, the file name is not converted
to lowercase when being inserted into `visitedLibs`. This is the only exception
in the file and all other places always convert file names to lowercase when
inserting them into `visitedLibs` (or `visitedFiles`).

ld64.lld used to print the "undefined symbol" line for each reference to

ld64.lld: error: undefined symbol: _foo
>>> referenced by /path/to/bar.o:(symbol _quux+0x1)
Now they are deduplicated:
ld64.lld: error: undefined symbol: _foo
>>> referenced by /path/to/bar.o:(symbol _baz+0x0)

This commit fixes the issue that getLocation always printed the name of
the first symbol in the section.
For clarity, upper_bound is used instead of a linear search for finding
the closest symbol name. Note that this change does not affect
performance: this function is only called when printing errors and
`symbols` typically contains a single symbol because of
.subsections_via_symbols.

This flag suppresses warnings produced by the linker. In ld64 this has
an interesting interaction with -fatal_warnings, it silences the
warnings but the link still fails. Instead of doing that here we still
print the warning and eagerly fail the link in case both are passed,
this seems more reasonable so users can understand why the link fails.

First of all, `LLVM_TOOLS_INSTALL_DIR` put there breaks our NixOS
builds, because `LLVM_TOOLS_INSTALL_DIR` defined the same as
`CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR` becomes an *absolute* path, and then when
downstream projects try to install there too this breaks because our
builds always install to fresh directories for isolation's sake.
Second of all, note that `LLVM_TOOLS_INSTALL_DIR` stands out against the
other specially crafted `LLVM_CONFIG_*` variables substituted in
`llvm/cmake/modules/LLVMConfig.cmake.in`.
@beanz added it in d0e1c2a550 to fix a
dangling reference in `AddLLVM`, but I am suspicious of how this
variable doesn't follow the pattern.
Those other ones are carefully made to be build-time vs install-time
variables depending on which `LLVMConfig.cmake` is being generated, are
carefully made relative as appropriate, etc. etc. For my NixOS use-case
they are also fine because they are never used as downstream install
variables, only for reading not writing.
To avoid the problems I face, and restore symmetry, I deleted the
exported and arranged to have many `${project}_TOOLS_INSTALL_DIR`s.
`AddLLVM` now instead expects each project to define its own, and they
do so based on `CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR`. `LLVMConfig` still exports
`LLVM_TOOLS_BINARY_DIR` which is the location for the tools defined in
the usual way, matching the other remaining exported variables.
For the `AddLLVM` changes, I tried to copy the existing pattern of
internal vs non-internal or for LLVM vs for downstream function/macro
names, but it would good to confirm I did that correctly.

For arm64, llvm-mc emits relocations for the target function
address like so:
ltmp:
<CIE start>
...
<CIE end>
... multiple FDEs ...
<FDE start>
<target function address - (ltmp + pcrel offset)>
...
If any of the FDEs in `multiple FDEs` get dead-stripped, then `FDE start`
will move to an earlier address, and `ltmp + pcrel offset` will no longer
reflect an accurate pcrel value. To avoid this problem, we "canonicalize"
our relocation by adding an `EH_Frame` symbol at `FDE start`, and updating
the reloc to be `target function address - (EH_Frame + new pcrel offset)`.

== Background ==
`llvm-mc` generates unwind info in both compact unwind and DWARF
formats. LLD already handles the compact unwind format; this diff gets
us close to handling the DWARF format properly.
== Caveats ==
It's not quite done yet, but I figure it's worth getting this reviewed
and landed first as it's shaping up to be a fairly large code change.
**Known limitations of the current code:**
* Only works for x86_64, for which `llvm-mc` emits "abs-ified"
relocations as described in 618def651b.
`llvm-mc` emits regular relocations for ARM EH frames, which we do not
yet handle correctly.
Since the feature is not ready for real use yet, I've gated it behind a
flag that only gets toggled on during test suite runs. With most of the
new code disabled, we see just a hint of perf regression, so I don't
think it'd be remiss to land this as-is:
base diff difference (95% CI)
sys_time 1.926 ± 0.168 1.979 ± 0.117 [ -1.2% .. +6.6%]
user_time 3.590 ± 0.033 3.606 ± 0.028 [ +0.0% .. +0.9%]
wall_time 7.104 ± 0.184 7.179 ± 0.151 [ -0.2% .. +2.3%]
samples 30 31
== Design ==
Like compact unwind entries, EH frames are also represented as regular
ConcatInputSections that get pointed to via `Defined::unwindEntry`. This
allows them to be handled generically by e.g. the MarkLive and ICF
code. (But note that unlike compact unwind subsections, EH frame
subsections do end up in the final binary.)
In order to make EH frames "look like" a regular ConcatInputSection,
some processing is required. First, we need to split the `__eh_frame`
section along EH frame boundaries rather than along symbol boundaries.
We do this by decoding the length field of each EH frame. Second, the
abs-ified relocations need to be turned into regular Relocs.
== Next Steps ==
In order to support EH frames on ARM targets, we will either have to
teach LLD how to handle EH frames with explicit relocs, or we can try to
make `llvm-mc` emit abs-ified relocs for ARM as well. I'm hoping to do
the latter as I think it will make the LLD implementation both simpler
and faster to execute.
== Misc ==
The `obj-file-with-stabs.s` test had to be updated as the previous
version would trip assertion errors in the code. It appears that in our
attempt to produce a minimal YAML test input, we created a file with
invalid EH frame data. I've fixed this by re-generating the YAML and not
doing any hand-pruning of it.

This reverts commit dcf3368e33.
It breaks -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=on builds. In addition, the description is
incorrect about ld.lld behavior. For wasm, there should be justification to add
the new mode.
As well as ELF linker does, retain all data segments named X referenced
through `__start_X` or `__stop_X`.
For example, `FOO_MD` should not be stripped in the below case, but it's currently mis-stripped
```llvm
@FOO_MD = global [4 x i8] c"bar\00", section "foo_md", align 1
@__start_foo_md = external constant i8*
@__stop_foo_md = external constant i8*
@llvm.used = appending global [1 x i8*] [i8* bitcast (i32 ()* @foo_md_size to i8*)], section "llvm.metadata"
define i32 @foo_md_size() {
entry:
ret i32 sub (
i32 ptrtoint (i8** @__stop_foo_md to i32),
i32 ptrtoint (i8** @__start_foo_md to i32)

LTO code may end up mixing bitcode files from various sources varying in
their use of opaque pointer types. The current strategy to decide
between opaque / typed pointers upon the first bitcode file loaded does
not work here, since we could be loading a non-opaque bitcode file first
and would then be unable to load any files with opaque pointer types
later.
So for LTO this:
- Adds an `lto::Config::OpaquePointer` option and enforces an upfront
decision between the two modes.
- Adds `-opaque-pointers`/`-no-opaque-pointers` options to the gold
plugin; disabled by default.
- `--opaque-pointers`/`--no-opaque-pointers` options with
`-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers`/`-plugin-opt=-no-opaque-pointers`
aliases to lld; disabled by default.
- Adds an `-lto-opaque-pointers` option to the `llvm-lto2` tool.
- Changes the clang driver to pass `-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers` to
the linker in LTO modes when clang was configured with opaque
pointers enabled by default.

It turns out we were already allocating static address space for TLS
data along with the non-TLS static data, but this space was going
unused/ignored.
With this change, we include the TLS segment in `__wasm_init_memory`
(which does the work of loading the passive segments into memory when a
module is first loaded). We also set the `__tls_base` global to point
to the start of this segment.
This means that the runtime can use this static copy of the TLS data for
the first/primary thread if it chooses, rather than doing a runtime
allocation prior to calling `__wasm_init_tls`.
Practically speaking, this will allow emscripten to avoid dynamic
allocation of TLS region on the main thread.
