D64130 introduced a bug described in the following message:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D64130#1571560
The problem can happen with the following script:
SECTIONS {
.out : {
...
FILL(0x10101010)
*(.aaa)
...
}
The current code tries to read (0x10101010) as an expression and
does not break when meets *, what results in a script parsing error.
In this patch, I verify that FILL command's expression always wrapped in ().
And at the same time =<fillexp> expression can be both wrapped or unwrapped.
I checked it matches to bfd/gold.

If .rela.plt is mentioned in a linker script, it might be preserved
even if it is empty. In that case, LLD created DT_JMPREL and DT_PLTGOT
dynamic tags. When the tags exist, a dynamic loader writes values into
reserved slots in .got.plt to support lazy symbol resolution.
The problem is that, in fact, the linker has not reserved that space,
and the writing may occur into the memory allocated for something else.

The current rule is loose: `!Sym.IsPreemptible || Expr == R_GOT`.
When the symbol is non-preemptable, this allows absolute relocation
types with smaller numbers of bits, e.g. R_X86_64_{8,16,32}. They are
disallowed by ld.bfd and gold, e.g.
ld.bfd: a.o: relocation R_X86_64_8 against `.text' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
This patch:
a) Add TargetInfo::SymbolicRel to represent relocation types that resolve to a
symbol value (e.g. R_AARCH_ABS64, R_386_32, R_X86_64_64).
As a side benefit, we currently (ab)use GotRel (R_*_GLOB_DAT) to resolve
GOT slots that are link-time constants. Since we now use Target->SymbolRel
to do the job, we can remove R_*_GLOB_DAT from relocateOne() for all targets.
R_*_GLOB_DAT cannot be used as static relocation types.
b) Change the condition to `!Sym.IsPreemptible && Type != Target->SymbolicRel || Expr == R_GOT`.
Some tests are caught by the improved error checking (ld.bfd/gold also
issue errors on them). Many misuse .long where .quad should be used
instead.

We create several types of synthetic sections for loadable partitions, including:
- The dynamic symbol table. This allows code outside of the loadable partitions
to find entry points with dlsym.
- Creating a dynamic symbol table also requires the creation of several other
synthetic sections for the partition, such as the dynamic table and hash table
sections.
- The partition's ELF header is represented as a synthetic section in the
combined output file, and will be used by llvm-objcopy to extract partitions.

Fixes the remaining issue of PR41673 after D61186: with `/DISCARD/ { ... } :NONE`,
we may create an output section named `/DISCARD/`.
Note, if an input section is named `/DISCARD/`, ld.bfd discards it but
lld keeps it. It is probably not worth copying this behavior as it is unrealistic.

The test (the only test that checks getLinkerScriptLocation()) deleted
by r358652 can be restored by replacing R_X86_64_PLT32 with
R_X86_64_PC32, and changing -pie to -shared (preemptable). Then, the
symbol will not be a link-time constant and a -fPIC error will be
issued.

For memory5.test, ld.bfd appears to ignore `. += 0x2000;`, so the test was testing

The -n (--nmagic) disables page alignment, and acts as a -Bstatic
The -N (--omagic) does what -n does but also marks the executable segment as
writeable. As page alignment is disabled headers are not allocated unless
explicit in the linker script.
To disable page alignment in LLD we choose to set the page sizes to 1 so
that any alignment based on the page size does nothing. To set the
Target->PageSize to 1 we implement -z common-page-size, which has the side
effect of allowing the user to set the value as well.
Setting the page alignments to 1 does mean that any use of
CONSTANT(MAXPAGESIZE) or CONSTANT(COMMONPAGESIZE) in a linker script will
return 1, unlike in ld.bfd. However given that -n and -N disable paging
these probably shouldn't be used in a linker script where -n or -N is in
use.

This fixes an issue where a symbol only section at the start of a

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
But with this change, we will be compatible with GNU strip before 2.31
* Before, .got.plt (non-relro by default) was placed before .got (relro
by default), which made it impossible to have _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
(start of .got.plt on x86-64) equal to the end of .got (R_GOT*_FROM_END)
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36555). With the new ordering, we
can improve on this regard if we'd like to.

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.
