It is currently in InputSectionBase. Only InputSections are used in
ICF, so Repl should be move to InputSection to clear the class
hierarchy or, like this patch does, to SectionBase for convenience.
The convenience of having it on the base class is that we can just
access the replacement without having to first check if it is an
InputSection. It is a bit less code and a bit faster as some of this
code is very hot.
I got up to 1.77% improvement in clang-gdb-index and no regressions
according to lnt.
llvm-svn: 320654
Having a SectionBase method check Repl is inconsistent with how we
handle other section information.
For example, if a section is replaced, Sec->Live is false and it is
natural for Sec->getOutputSection() to be null.
It is the symbol that is moved to the replacement section.

We have a lot of "if (MIPS)" conditions in lld because the MIPS' ABI
is different at various places than other arch's ABIs at where it
don't have to be different, but we at least want to reduce MIPS-ness
from the regular classes.

Now that we have only SymbolBody as the symbol class. So, "SymbolBody"
is a bit strange name now. This is a mechanical change generated by

nd clang-format-diff.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D39459

SymbolBody and Symbol were separated classes due to a historical reason.
Symbol used to be a pointer to a SymbolBody, and the relationship
between Symbol and SymbolBody was n:1.
r2681780 changed that. Since that patch, SymbolBody and Symbol are
allocated next to each other to improve memory locality, and they have
1:1 relationship now. So, the separation of Symbol and SymbolBody no
longer makes sense.
This patch merges them into one class. In order to avoid updating too
many places, I chose SymbolBody as a unified name. I'll rename it Symbol
in a follow-up patch.

DSO is short for dynamic shared object, so the function name was a
little confusing because it sounded like it didn't work when we were
a creating statically-linked executable or something.
What we mean by "DSO" here is the current output file that we are
creating. Thus the new name. Alternatively, we could call it the current
ELF module, but "module" is a overloaded word, so I avoided that.
llvm-svn: 316809
Summary:
The COFF linker and the ELF linker have long had similar but separate
Error.h and Error.cpp files to implement error handling. This change
introduces new error handling code in Common/ErrorHandler.h, changes the
COFF and ELF linkers to use it, and removes the old, separate
implementations.

This fixes pr34301.
As the bug points out, we want to keep some relocations with undefined
weak symbols. This means that we cannot always claim that these
symbols are not preemptible as we do now.
Unfortunately, we cannot also just always claim that they are
preemptible. Doing so would, for example, cause us to try to create a
plt entry when we don't even have a dynamic symbol table.
What almost works is to say that weak undefined symbols are
preemptible if and only if we have a dynamic symbol table. Almost
because we don't want to fail the build trying to create a copy
relocation to a weak undefined.

This should fix the lto bootstrap.
It is somewhat hard to remember about lazy symbols deep down in the

to separate commons based on file name patterns. The following linker script
construct does not work because commons are allocated before section placement
is done and the only synthesized BssSection that holds all commons has no file
associated with it:
SECTIONS { .common_0 : { *file0.o(COMMON) }}
This patch changes the allocation of commons to create a section per common
symbol and let the section logic do the layout.

With this Symbol has the same size as before, but DefinedRegular goes

I also find this a bit easier to read. There are fewer places

With fix for undefined weak symbols in executable.
Original commit message:
This is PR32112. Previously when we linked executable with
--unresolved-symbols=ignore-all and undefined symbols, like:
_start:
callq und@PLT
we did not create relocations, though it looks in that case
we should delegate handling of such symbols to runtime linker,
hence should emit them. Patch fixes that.

Before we were doing it with --export-dynamic. That seems incorrect.
The intention of --export-dynamic is to export symbols *defined* in
the executable.

PT_TLS is a type of program header, so we wouldn't expect to see
one in an object file. This error should probably be referring to
the fact that we didn't see a section with the flag SHF_TLS, which

This is PR28414.
Previously LLD was unable to link following:
(failed with undefined symbol bar)
Version script:
SOME_VERSION { global: *; };
.global _start
.global bar
.symver _start, bar@@SOME_VERSION
_start:
jmp bar
Manual has next description:
.symver name, name2@@nodename
In this case, the symbol name must exist and be defined within the file being assembled. It is similar to name2@nodename.
The difference is name2@@nodename will also be used to resolve references to name2 by the linker
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Symver.html
Patch implements that. If we have name@@ver symbol and name is undefined, name@@ver is used to resolve references to name.
If name is defined then multiple definition error is emited, that is consistent with what bfd do.

Before InputSectionBase had an OutputSection pointer, but that was not
always valid. For example, if it was a merge section one actually had
to look at MergeSec->OutSec.
This was brittle and caused bugs like the one fixed by r304260.
We now have a single Parent pointer that points to an OutputSection
for InputSection, but to a SyntheticSection for merge sections and
.eh_frame. This makes it impossible to accidentally access an invalid
OutSec.

With this we have a single section hierarchy. It is a bit less code,
but the main advantage will be in a future patch being able to handle
foo = symbol_in_obj;
in a linker script. Currently that fails since we try to find the
output section of symbol_in_obj. With this we should be able to just
return an InputSection from the expression.

There are many special cases and a layer of abstraction or two in the
way, but the VA calculation in the typical case is actually very simple
and probably makes perfect sense even to somebody new to linkers.
Also, this line brings together many components and is a good place to
start understanding the linker (or improve one's existing
understanding).

Naively it seemed at first like getVA had the responsibility of adding
the addend, and getSymVA had the responsibility of getting the symbol
VA.
So it was not obvious to me at first why getVA passes Addend to
getSymVA. In fact, it passes it as a mutable reference.
It turns out that it only matters for SHF_MERGE sections, and in
particular only for STT_SECTION symbols that are used as a hack for
reducing the number of local symbols (e.g. to avoid a local symbol for
each string in the string table).
llvm-svn: 296448
That function doesn't use any member of SymbolTableSection, so I

In the target dependent code we already always return a int64_t. In
the target independent code we carefully use uintX_t, which has the

When we need a copy relocation we create a synthetic SHT_NOBITS
section that contains the right amount of ZI and assign it to either
.bss or .rel.ro.bss as appropriate. This allows the dynamic relocation
to be placed on the InputSection, removing the last case where a
dynamic relocation is stored as an offset from the OutputSection. This
has the side effect that we can run assignOffsets() after scanRelocs()
without losing the additional ZI needed for the copy relocations.

With a synthetic merge section we can have, for example, a single
.rodata section with stings, fixed sized constants and non merge
constants.
I can be simplified further by not setting Entsize, but that is
probably better done is a followup patch.
This should allow some cleanup in the linker script code now that
every output section command maps to just one output section.

Thunks are now implemented by redirecting the relocation to the
symbol S, to a symbol TS in a Thunk. The Thunk will transfer control
to S. This has the following implications:
- All the side-effects of Thunks happen within createThunks()
- Thunks are no longer stored in InputSections and Symbols no longer
need to hold a pointer to a Thunk
- The synthetic Thunk sections need to be merged into OutputSections
This implementation is almost a direct conversion of the existing
Thunks with the following exceptions:
- Mips LA25 Thunks are placed before the InputSection that defines
the symbol that needs a Thunk.
- All ARM Thunks are placed at the end of the OutputSection of the
first caller to the Thunk.
Range extension Thunks are not supported yet so it is optimistically
assumed that all Thunks can be reused.
This is a recommit of r293283 with a fixed comparison predicate as
std::merge requires a strict weak ordering.

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.
