-F name
--filter=name
When creating an ELF shared object, set the internal DT_FILTER field to the specified name. This tells the dynamic linker that the symbol table of the shared object which is being created should be used as a filter on the symbol table of the shared object name.
If you later link a program against this filter object, then, when you run the program, the dynamic linker will see the DT_FILTER field. The dynamic linker will resolve symbols according to the symbol table of the filter object as usual, but it will actually link to the definitions found in the shared object name. Thus the filter object can be used to select a subset of the symbols provided by the object name.

When the -no-keep-memory option is given, BFD linker tries to save
memory in their own way. Since our internal architecture is completely
different from that linker, that option doesn't make sense to us.

gnu ld description of option is:
--defsym=symbol=expression
Create a global symbol in the output file, containing the absolute address given
by expression. You may use this option as many times as necessary to define multiple
symbols in the command line. A limited form of arithmetic is supported for the
expression in this context: you may give a hexadecimal constant or the name of an
existing symbol, or use "+" and "-" to add or subtract hexadecimal constants or
symbols. If you need more elaborate expressions, consider using the linker command
language from a script. Note: there should be no white space between symbol,
the equals sign ("="), and expression.
In compare with D32082, this patch does not support math expressions and absolute
symbols. It implemented via code similar to --wrap. That covers 1 of 3 possible
--defsym cases.

Options can start with `-` or `--` unless they start with "o".
Any option that starts with `-o` should be interpreted as an output
file name. This is a quote from the GNU ld man page.
Note -- there is one exception to this rule. Multiple letter
options that start with a lower case 'o' can only be preceded by
two dashes. This is to reduce confusion with the -o option.
So for example -omagic sets the output file name to magic whereas
--omagic sets the NMAGIC flag on the output.
We didn't handle that properly before.

Currently ld.lld -r allocates space for common symbols, whereas ld.bfd
-r doesn't. As a result the OpenBSD makefile bits for creating libraries
fail as they use ld -X -r to strip local symbols, which results in
duplicate symbol errors because space for the common symbols has been
allocated.
The diff also implements the --define-commons option such that allocation
of commons can be forced even if -r is used.

Previously, that was an alias to -color-diagnostics=auto. However,
Clang's -fcolor-diagnostics is an alias to -fcolor-diagnostics=always,
so that was confusing. This patch fixes that issue.

--retain-symbols-file=filename
Retain only the symbols listed in the file filename, discarding all others.
filename is simply a flat file, with one symbol name per line. This option
is especially useful in environments (such as VxWorks) where a large global
symbol table is accumulated gradually, to conserve run-time memory.
Note: though documentation says "--retain-symbols-file does not discard
undefined symbols, or symbols needed for relocations.", both bfd and gold
do that, and this patch too, like testcase show.

It os used in work/emulators/qemu-user-static port.
Which tries to use -Ttext-segment and then:
# In case ld does not support -Ttext-segment, edit the default linker
# script via sed to set the .text start addr. This is needed on FreeBSD
# at least.
<here it calls -verbose to extract and edit default bfd linker script.>
Actually now we are do not fully support -Ttext properly (see D27613),
but we also seems never will provide anything close to default script, like bfd do,
so at least this patch introduces proper alias handling.

This is in the context of https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=31109.
When LLD prints out errors for relocations, it tends to print out
extremely large number of errors (like millions) because it would
print out one error per relocation.
This patch makes LLD bail out if it prints out more than 20 errors.
You can configure the limitation using -error-limit argument.
-error-limit=0 means no limit.
I chose the flag name because Clang has the same feature as -ferror-limit.
"f" doesn't make sense to us, so I omitted it.

Though the patch was technically correct,
the only FreeBSD port (noticed atm) that tried using it was
www/mod_jk. And it seems just passed gcc option to linker by mistake:
"-Wl,-L-L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-fstack-protector -Wl,-fstack-protector -o mod_jk.la "
Given that it is an easy mistake to make, reverting for now.

Patch allows to pass a symbols file to linker.
LLD will map symbols to sections and sort sections
in output according to symbol ordering file.
That can help to reduce the startup time and/or
amount of pagefaults during startup.
Also, interesting benchmark result was produced by Rafael Espíndola.
After applying the symbols file for clang he timed compiling
X86MCTargetDesc.ii to an object file.
The page faults went from just
56,988 to 56,946 since most faults are not in the binary.
Running time went from 4.403053515 to 4.178112244.
The speedup seems to be because of better cache
locality.

/usr/bin/ld: error: unclosed comment in a linker script
/usr/bin/ld: error: line 1: unknown directive: �
/usr/bin/ld: error: ��
Problem was not obvious and the reason was that we did not accept
the separate form of -R. While invocation line contained it:
cc -Wl,-R /usr/local/lib -o prog prog.c
CPIO file produced contained /usr/local/lib file.
Which looks because of reasons above
contained inside the content of whole lib folder,
and it then was passed as an input and
proccessed as linker script.

As the state of lld gets more complicated, shutting down gets more
expensive.
In a normal lld run we can just call _exit immediately after renaming

The R_ARM_TARGET2 relocation is used in ARM exception tables to encode
a data dependency that will only be dereferenced by code in the
run-time support library. In a similar way to R_ARM_TARGET1 the
handling of the relocation is target specific, it maps to one of
R_ARM_ABS32, R_ARM_REL32 or R_ARM_GOT_PREL. The choice depends on the
run-time library. R_ARM_GOT_PREL is used for linux and BSD,
R_ARM_ABS32 and R_ARM_REL32 are used for bare-metal.
The command line option --target2=<target> can be used to select the
relocation used for R_ARM_TARGET2. The default is R_ARM_GOT_PREL.
