This makes lld-link's output a bit more concise. Since most developers can't
read mangled names, this should make the output a bit easier to understand as
well. It also makes lld-link's output consistent with ld.lld's output.
(link.exe prints both demangled and mangled names; lld-link used to match
link.exe output but now no longer does.)
For people working on toolchains, add a `/demangle:no` flag that makes lld-link
print the mangled name instead of the demangled name. (If desired, people could
pipe that through `demumble -b` to get the old behavior of both demangled and
mangled output.)

Turns out nobody understands what "conflicting comdat type" is supposed to
mean, so just emit a regular "duplicate symbol" error and move the comdat
selection information into /verbose output.
This also fixes a problem where the error output would depend on the order of
.obj files passed. Before this patch:
- If passed `one_only.obj discard.obj`, lld-link would only err "conflicting
comdat type"
- If passed `discard.obj one_only.obj`, lld-link would err "conflicting comdat
type" and then "duplicate symbol"
Now lld-link only errs "duplicate symbol" in both cases.
I considered adding a "Detail" parameter to reportDuplicate() that's printed in
parens at the end of the "duplicate symbol" diag if present, and then put the
comdat selection mismatch details there, but since users don't know what it's
supposed to mean decided against it. I also considered special-casing the
Detail message for one_only/discard mismatches, which in practice means
"function defined as inline in TU 1 but as out-of-line in TU 2", but I wasn't
sure how useful it is so I omitted that too.

In a previous patch, I made changes so that PDBs which were
generated on non-Windows platforms contained sensical paths
for the host. While this is an esoteric use case, we need
it to be supported for certain cross compilation scenarios
especially with LLDB, which can debug things on non-Windows
platforms.
However, this regressed a case where you specify /PDBSOURCEPATH
and use a windows-style path. Previously, we would still remove
dots and canonicalize slashes to backslashes, but since my
change intentionally tried to support non-backslash paths, this
was broken.
This patch fixes the situation by trying to guess which path
style the user is specifying when /PDBSOURCEPATH is passed.
It is intentionally conservative, erring on the side of a
Windows path style unless absolutely certain. All dots are
removed and slashes canonicalized to whatever the deduced
path style is after appending the file path to the /PDBSOURCEPATH
argument.

For MinGW, unique partial sections are much more common, e.g.
comdat functions get sections named e.g. text$symbol.
A moderate sized example of this contains over 200K Chunks
which create 174K unique PartialSections. Prior to SVN r352928
(D57574), linking this took around 1,5 seconds for me, while
it afterwards takes around 13 minutes. After this patch, the
linking time is back to what it was before.
The std::find_if in findPartialSection will do a linear scan of
the whole container until a match is found. To use something like
binary_search or the std::set container's own methods, we'd need
to already have a PartialSection*.

cl.exe and clang-cl.exe put vftables in a 'discard' comdat when building with
RTTI disabled (/GR-) but in a 'largest' comdat when building with RTTI enabled.
To be able to link /GR- code with /GR code, lld-link needs to accept comdats
that have this type of comdat selection conflict.
For example, static libraries in the Visual Studio standard library are built
with /GR, and without this it's impossible to build client code with /GR- and
still link to the standard library.
link.exe also accepts merging 'discard' with 'largest', and it accepts merging
'largest' with any other selection type. lld-link is still a bit stricter since
it only allows merging 'largest' with 'discard' for symmetry.

LLD used to handle comdats as if the selection field was always set to
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ANY. This means for obj files produced by `cl /Gy`, LLD
would never report a duplicate symbol error.
This change:
- adds validation for the Selection field (should make no difference in
practice for compiler-generated obj inputs)
- rejects comdats that have different Selection fields in different obj files
(likewise). This is a bit more strict but also more self-consistent thank
link.exe (see comment in code)
- implements handling for all the selection kinds
In practice, compilers only generate comdats with
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_NODUPLICATES (LLD now produces duplicate symbol errors for
these), IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ANY (no behavior change), and
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_LARGEST (for RTTI data; here LLD should no longer create
broken executables when linking some TUs with RTTI enabled and some with it
disabled – but see below).
The implementation of `IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_LARGEST` is incomplete: If one
SELECT_LARGEST comdat replaces an earlier one, the comdat symbol is replaced
correctly, but the old section stays loaded and if /opt:ref is disabled (via
/opt:noref or /debug) it's still written to the output. That's not ideal, but
better than the current treatment of just picking any one of those comdats. I
hope to fix this better later.

is a trap instruction.

Currently, if an associative comdat appears after the comdat it's associated
with it's processed immediately, else it's deferred until the end of the object
file. I found this confusing to think about while working on PR40094, so this
makes it so that associated comdats are always processed at the end of the
object file. This seems to be perf-neutral and simpler.
Now there's a natural place to reject the associated comdats referring to later
associated comdats (associated comdats referring to associated comdats is
invalid per COFF spec) that, so reject those. (A later patch will reject
associated comdats referring to earlier comdats.)

LLD's performance on PGO instrumented Windows binaries was still not
great even with the fix in D56955; out of the 2m41s linker runtime,
around 2 minutes were still being spent in ICF. I looked into this more
closely and discovered that the vast majority of the runtime was being
spent segregating .pdata sections with the following relocation chain:
.pdata -> identical .text -> unique PGO counter (not eligible for ICF)
This patch causes us to perform 2 rounds of relocation hash
propagation, which allows the hash for the .pdata sections to
incorporate the identifier from the PGO counter. With that, the amount
of time spent in ICF was reduced to about 2 seconds. I also found that
the same change led to a significant ICF performance improvement in a
regular release build of Chromium's chrome_child.dll, where ICF time
was reduced from around 1s to around 700ms.
With the same change applied to the ELF linker, median of 100 runs
for lld-speed-test/chrome reduced from 4.53s to 4.45s on my machine.
I also experimented with increasing the number of propagation rounds
further, but I did not observe any further significant performance
improvements linking Chromium or Firefox.

It turns out that sections in PGO instrumented object files on Windows
contain a large number of relocations pointing to themselves. With
r347429 this can cause many sections to receive the same hash (usually
zero) as a result of a section's hash being xor'ed with itself.
This patch causes the COFF and ELF linkers to avoid this problem
by adding the hash of the relocated section instead of xor'ing it.
On my machine this causes the regressing test case
provided by Mozilla to terminate in 2m41s.

In PDBs, symbol records must be aligned to four bytes. However, in the
object file, symbol records may not be aligned. MSVC does not pad out
symbol records to make sure they are aligned. That means the linker has
to do extra work to insert the padding. Currently, LLD calculates the
required space with alignment, and copies each record one at a time
while padding them out to the correct size. It has a fast path that
avoids this copy when the records are already aligned.
This change fixes a bug in that codepath so that the copy is actually
saved, and tweaks LLVM's symbol record emission to align symbol records.
Here's how things compare when doing a plain clang Release+PDB build:
- objs are 0.65% bigger (negligible)
- link is 3.3% faster (negligible)
- saves allocating 441MB
- new LLD high water mark is ~1.05GB
llvm-svn: 349431
When calling BinaryStreamArray::drop_front(), if the stream
is skewed it means we must never drop the first bytes of the
stream since offsets which occur in records assume the existence
of those bytes. So if we want to skip the first record in a
stream, then what we really want to do is just set the begin
pointer to the next record. But we shouldn't actually remove
those bytes from the underlying view of the data.

Summary:
This speeds up linking clang.exe/pdb with /DEBUG:GHASH by 31%, from
12.9s to 9.8s.
Symbol records are typically small (16.7 bytes on average), but we
processed them one at a time. CVSymbol is a relatively "large" type. It
wraps an ArrayRef<uint8_t> with a kind an optional 32-bit hash, which we
don't need. Before this change, each DbiModuleDescriptorBuilder would
maintain an array of CVSymbols, and would write them individually with a
BinaryItemStream.
With this change, we now add symbols that happen to appear contiguously
in bulk. For each .debug$S section (roughly one per function), we
allocate two copies, one for relocation, and one for realignment
purposes. For runs of symbols that go in the module stream, which is
most symbols, we now add them as a single ArrayRef<uint8_t>, so the
vector DbiModuleDescriptorBuilder is roughly linear in the number of
.debug$S sections (O(# funcs)) instead of the number of symbol records
(very large).
Some stats on symbol sizes for the curious:
PDB size: 507M
sym bytes: 316,508,016
sym count: 18,954,971
sym byte avg: 16.7
As future work, we may be able to skip copying symbol records in the
linker for realignment purposes if we make LLVM write them aligned into
the object file. We need to double check that such symbol records are
still compatible with link.exe, but if so, it's definitely worth doing,
since my profile shows we spend 500ms in memcpy in the symbol merging
code. We could potentially cut that in half by saving a copy.
Alternatively, we could apply the relocations *after* we iterate the
symbols. This would require some careful re-engineering of the
relocation processing code, though.

GNU ld, which doesn't generate PDBs, can optionally generate a
build id by passing the --build-id option. LLD's MinGW frontend knows
about this option but ignores it, as I had falsely assumed that LLD
already generated build IDs even in those cases.
If debug info is requested and no PDB path is set, generate a
build id signature as a hash of the binary itself. This allows
associating a binary to a minidump, even if debug info isn't
