This is a part of InputGraph cleanup to represent input files as a flat
list of Files (and some meta-nodes for group etc.)
We cannot achieve that goal in one gigantic patch, so I split the task
into small steps as shown below.
(Recap the progress so far: Currently InputGraph contains a list of
InputElements. Each InputElement contain one File (that used to have
multiple Files, but I eliminated that use case in r223867). Files are
currently instantiated in Driver::link(), but I already made a change
to separate file parsing from object instantiation (r224102), so we
can safely instantiate Files when we need them, instead of wrapping
a file with the wrapper class (FileNode class). InputGraph used to
act like a generator class by interpreting groups by itself, but it's
now just a container of a list of InputElements (r223867).)
1. Instantiate Files in the driver and wrap them with WrapperNode.
WrapperNode is a temporary class that allows us to instantiate Files
in the driver while keep using the current InputGraph data structure.
This patch demonstrates how this step 1 looks like, using Core driver
as an example.
2. Do the same thing for the other drivers.
When step 2 is done, an InputGraph consists of GroupEnd objects or
WrapperNodes each of which contains one File. Other types of
FileNode subclasses are removed.
3. Replace InputGraph with std::vector<std::unique_ptr<InputElement>>.
InputGraph is already just a container of list of InputElements,
so this step removes that needless class.
4. Remove WrapperNode.
We need some code cleanup between each step, because many classes
do a bit odd things (e.g. InputGraph::getGroupSize()). I'll straight
things up as I need to.

ReaderErrorCategory was used only at one place. We now have a
DynamicErrorCategory for this kind of one-time error, so use it.
The calling function doesn't really care the type of an error, so
ReaderErrorCategory was actually dead code.
llvm-svn: 224245
These member functions returns either no_more_files error or a File object.
We could simply return a nullptr instead of a no_more_files.
This function will be removed soon as a part of InputGraph cleanup.
I had to do that step by step.
llvm-svn: 224208
The documentation of parseFile() said that "the resulting File
object may take ownership of the MemoryBuffer." So, whether or not
the ownership of a MemoryBuffer would be taken was not clear.
A FileNode (a subclass of InputElement, which is being deprecated)
keeps the ownership if a File doesn't take it.
This patch makes File always take the ownership of a buffer.
Buffers lifespan is not always the same as File instances.
Files are able to deallocate buffers after parsing the contents.

This reverts commit r223330 because it broke Darwin and ELF
linkers in a way that we couldn't have caught with the existing
test cases.
llvm-svn: 223373
The aim of this patch is to reduce the excessive abstraction from
the InputGraph. We found that even a simple thing, such as sorting
input files (Mach-O) or adding a new file to the input file list
(PE/COFF), is nearly impossible with the InputGraph abstraction,
because it hides too much information behind it. As a result,
we invented complex interactions between components (e.g.
notifyProgress() mechanism) and tricky code to work around that
limitation. There were many occasions that we needed to write
awkward code.
This patch is a first step to make it cleaner. As a first step,
this removes Group class from the InputGraph. The grouping feature
is now directly handled by the Resolver. notifyProgress is removed
since we no longer need that. I could have cleaned it up even more,
but in order to keep the patch minimum, I focused on Group.
SimpleFileNode class, a container of File objects, is now limited
to have only one File. We shold have done this earlier.
We used to allow putting multiple File objects to FileNode.
Although SimpleFileNode usually has only one file, the Driver class
actually used that capability. I modified the Driver class a bit,
so that one FileNode is created for each input File.
We should now probably remove SimpleFileNode and directly store
File objects to the InputGraph in some way, because a container
that can contain only one object is useless. This is a TODO.
Mach-O input files are now sorted before they are passe to the
Resolver. DarwinInputGraph class is no longer needed, so removed.
PECOFF still has hacky code to add a new file to the input file list.
This will be cleaned up in another patch.

RoundTripPasses should always be called in DEBUG mode if the environment
variable "LLD_RUN_ROUNDTRIP_TEST" is set.
Flavors should not be able to override this behavior.
llvm-svn: 223073
This would allow other flavor specific contexts to override the default value,
if they want to optionally run the round trip passes.
There is some information lost like the original file owner of the atom with
RoundTripPasses. The Gnu flavor needs this information inorder to implement
LinkerScript matching and for other diagnostic outputs such as Map files.
The flag also can be used to record information in the Atom if the information
to the Writer needs to be conveyed through References too.
llvm-svn: 222983
On darwin in final linked images, the __TEXT segment covers that start of the
file. That means in memory a process can see the mach_header (and load commands)
for every loaded image in a process. There are APIs that take and return the
mach_header addresses as a way to specify a particular loaded image.
For completeness, any code can get the address of the mach_header of the image
it is in by using &__dso_handle. In addition there are mach-o type specific
symbols like __mh_execute_header.
The linker needs to supply a definition for any of these symbols if used. But
the address the symbol it resolves to is not in any section. Instead it is the
address of the start of the __TEXT segment.
I needed to make a small change to SimpleFileNode to not override
resetNextIndex() because the Driver creates a SimpleFileNode to hold the
internal/implicit files that the context/writer can create. For some reason
SimpleFileNode overrode resetNextIndex() to do nothing instead of reseting
the index (which mach-o needs if the internal file is an archive).
llvm-svn: 221822
Darwin uses two-level-namespace lookup for symbols which means the static
linker records where each symbol must be found at runtime. Thus defining a
symbol in a dylib loaded earlier will not effect where symbols needed by
later dylibs will be found. Instead overriding is done through a section
of type S_INTERPOSING which contains tuples of <interposer, interposee>.
llvm-svn: 221421
The job of the CompactUnwind pass is to turn __compact_unwind data (and
__eh_frame) into the compressed final form in __unwind_info. After it's done,
the original atoms are no longer relevant and should be deleted (they cause
problems during actual execution, quite apart from the fact that they're not
needed).
llvm-svn: 221301
The darwin linker operates differently than the gnu linker with respect to
libraries. The darwin linker first links in all object files from the command
line, then to resolve any remaining undefines, it repeatedly iterates over
libraries on the command line until either all undefines are resolved or no
undefines were resolved in the last pass.
When Shankar made the InputGraph model, the plan for darwin was for the darwin
driver to place all libraries in a group at the end of the InputGraph. Thus
making the darwin model a subset of the gnu model. But it turns out that does
not work because the driver cannot tell if a file is an object or library until
it has been loaded, which happens later.
This solution is to subclass InputGraph for darwin and just iterate the graph
the way darwin linker needs.

Previously, we would not check the target machine type and the module (object)
machine type. Add a check to ensure that we do not attempt to use an object
file with a different target architecture.
This change identified a couple of tests which were incorrectly mixing up
architecture types, using x86 input for a x64 target. Adjust the tests
appropriately. The renaming of the input and the architectures covers the
changes to the existing tests.
One significant change to the existing tests is that the newly added test input
for x64 uses the correct user label prefix for X64.

Rather than a series of cascading ifs, use a switch statement to convert the
error code to a string. This has the benefit of allowing the compiler to inform

The mergeByContent attribute on DefinedAtoms triggers the symbol table to
coalesce atoms with the exact same content. The problem is that atoms can also
have a required custom section. The coalescing should never change the custom
section of an atom.
The fix is to only consider to atoms to have the same content if their
sectionChoice() and customSectionName() attributes match.

No functionality change. This removes a down-cast from LinkingContext to
MachOLinkingContext.
Also, remove const from LinkingContext::createImplicitFiles() to remove

The darwin linker has the -demangle option which directs it to demangle C++
(and soon Swift) mangled symbol names. Long term we need some Diagnostics object
for formatting errors and warnings. But for now we have the Core linker just
writing messages to llvm::errs(). So, to enable demangling, I changed the
Resolver to call a LinkingContext method on the symbol name.
To make this more interesting, the demangling code is done via __cxa_demangle()
which is part of the C++ ABI, which is only supported on some platforms, so I
had to conditionalize the code with the config generated HAVE_CXXABI_H.

This is a minimally useful pass to construct the __unwind_info section in a

defined in a shared library.
Now LLD does not export a strong defined symbol if it coalesces away a
weak symbol defined in a shared library. This bug affects all ELF
architectures and leads to segfault:
% cat foo.c
extern int __attribute__((weak)) flag;
int foo() { return flag; }
% cat main.c
int flag = 1;
int foo();
int main() { return foo() == 1 ? 0 : -1; }

% lld -flavor gnu -target x86_64 -o a.out ... main.o libfoo.so
% ./a.out
Segmentation fault
The problem is caused by the fact that we lose all information about
coalesced symbols after the `Resolver::resolve()` method is finished.
The patch solves the problem by overriding the
`LinkingContext::notifySymbolTableCoalesce()` method and saving names
of coalesced symbols. Later in the `buildDynamicSymbolTable()` routine
we use this information to export these symbols.

insertElementAt(x, END) does the identical thing as addInputElement(x),

COFF supports a feature similar to ELF's section groups. This
patch implements it.
In ELF, section groups are identified by their names, and they are
treated somewhat differently from regular symbols. In COFF, the
feature is realized in a more straightforward way. A section can
have an annotation saying "if Nth section is linked, link this
section too."
I added a new reference type, kindAssociate. If a target atom is
coalesced away, the referring atom is removed by Resolver, so that
they are treated as a group.

Previously section groups are doubly linked to their children.
That is, an atom representing a group has group-child references
to its group contents, and content atoms also have group-parent
references to the group atom. That relationship was invariant;
if X has a group-child edge to Y, Y must have a group-parent
edge to X.
However we were not using group-parent references at all. The
resolver only needs group-child edges.
This patch simplifies the section group by removing the unused
reverse edge. No functionality change intended.

Layout-before edges are no longer used for layout, but they are

atoms to construct a reverse map for layout-after edges. Dead-
stripping pass uses the map to traverse the graph.

Make it possible to add observers to an Input Graph, so that files
returned from an Input Graph can be examined before they are
passed to Resolver.
To implement some PE/COFF features we need to know all the symbols
that *can* be solved, including ones in archive files that are not
yet to be read.
Currently, Resolver only maintains a set of symbols that are
already read. It has no knowledge on symbols in skipped files in
an archive file.
There are many ways to implement that. I chose to apply the
observer pattern here because it seems most non-intrusive. We don't
want to mess up Resolver with architecture specific features.
Even in PE/COFF, the feature that needs this mechanism is minor.
So I chose not to modify Resolver, but add a hook to Input Graph.

a group too. That's implemented in ELFFileNode. It's intended to not
return a shared library on the second or further iterations in the

Resolver is sending too much information to Input Graph than Input
Graph actually needs. In order to collect the detailed information,
which wouldn't be consumed by anyone, we have a good amount of code
in Resolver, Input Graph and Input Elements. This patch is to
simplify it. No functionality change.
Specifically, this patch replaces ResolverState enum with a boolean
value. The enum defines many bits to notify the progress about
linking to Input Graph using bit masks, however, what Input Graph
actually does is to compare a given value with 0. The details of
the bit mask is simply being ignored, so the efforts to collect
such data is wasted.
This patch also changes the name of the notification interface from
setResolverState to notifyProgress, to make it sounds more like
message passing style. It's not a setter but something to notify of
an update, so the new name should be more appropriate than before.

LinkingContext and InputGraph are unnecessarily entangled. Most linker
input file data, e.g. the vector containing input files, the next index

This patch is to move code from LinkingContext to InputGraph to fix it.

1. ControlNode class is removed. We had it as the base class of Group
class, but it provides no functionality particularly meaningful. We now
have shallower class hierarchy that is easier to understand.
2. InputGraph provides a feature to replace a node with its internal data.
It is being used to "expand" some type of node, such as a Linker Script
node, with its actual files. We used to have two options when replacing
it -- ExpandOnly or ExpandAndReplace. ExpandOnly was to expand it but not
remove the node from the tree. There is no use of that option in the code,
so it was a dead feature.

GNU LD's --defsym provides many more features. For example, it allows users to

There was a bug that the linker does not report an error if symbols specified

such symbols to the dead strip root.
llvm-svn: 198041
The main changes are in:
include/lld/Core/Reference.h
include/lld/ReaderWriter/Reader.h
Everything else is details to support the main change.
1) Registration based Readers
Previously, lld had a tangled interdependency with all the Readers. It would
have been impossible to make a streamlined linker (say for a JIT) which
just supported one file format and one architecture (no yaml, no archives, etc).
The old model also required a LinkingContext to read an object file, which
would have made .o inspection tools awkward.
The new model is that there is a global Registry object. You programmatically
register the Readers you want with the registry object. Whenever you need to
read/parse a file, you ask the registry to do it, and the registry tries each
registered reader.
For ease of use with the existing lld code base, there is one Registry
object inside the LinkingContext object.
2) Changing kind value to be a tuple
Beside Readers, the registry also keeps track of the mapping for Reference
Kind values to and from strings. Along with that, this patch also fixes
an ambiguity with the previous Reference::Kind values. The problem was that
we wanted to reuse existing relocation type values as Reference::Kind values.
But then how can the YAML write know how to convert a value to a string? The
fix is to change the 32-bit Reference::Kind into a tuple with an 8-bit namespace
(e.g. ELF, COFFF, etc), an 8-bit architecture (e.g. x86_64, PowerPC, etc), and
a 16-bit value. This tuple system allows conversion to and from strings with
no ambiguities.
llvm-svn: 197727
This patch is to basically move the functionality to construct Data Directory
from IdataPass to WriterPECOFF.
Data Directory is a part of the PE/COFF header and contains the addresses of
the import tables.
We used to represent the link from Data Directory to the import tables as
relocation references. The idea behind it is that, because relocation
references are processed by the Writer, we wouldn't have to do anything special
to fill the addresses of the import tables. I thought that the addresses would
be set "automatically".
But it turned out that that design made the pass and the writer rather
complicated. In order to make relocation references between Data Directory to
the import tables, these data structures needed to be represented as Atom.
However, because Data Directory is not a section content but a part of the
PE/COFF header, it did not fit well as an Atom. So we ended up having
complicated code both in IdataPass and the writer.
This patch simplifies it.
One side effect of this patch is that we now have ".idata.a", ".idata.d" and
"idata.t" sections for the import address table, the import directory table,
and the import lookup table. The writer looks for the sections by name to find
the start addresses of the sections. We probably should have a better way to
find a specific atom from the core linking result, but currently using the
section name seems to be the easiest way to do that. The Windows loader do not
care about the import table's section layout.
llvm-svn: 197016
This adds LinkerScript support by creating a type Script which is of type
FileNode in the InputGraph. Once the LinkerScript Parser converts the
LinkerScript into a sequence of command, the commands are handled by the
equivalent LinkerScript node for the current Flavor/Target. For ELF, a
ELFGNULdScript gets created which converts the commands to ELF nodes and ELF
control nodes(ELFGroup for handling Group nodes).
Since the Inputfile type has to be determined in the Driver, the Driver needs
to determine the complete path of the file that needs to be processed by the
Linker. Due to this, few tests have been removed since the Driver uses paths
that doesnot exist.

The fallback atom was used only when it's searching for a symbol in a library;
if an undefined symbol was not found in a library, the LLD looked for its
fallback symbol in the library.
Although it worked in most cases, because symbols with fallbacks usually occur
only in OLDNAMES.LIB (a standard library), that behavior was incompatible with
link.exe. This patch fixes the issue so that the semantics is the same as
MSVC's link.exe
The new (and correct, I believe) behavior is this:
- If there's no definition for an undefined atom, replace the undefined atom
with its fallback and then proceed (e.g. look in the next file or stop
linking as usual.)
Weak External symbols are underspecified in the Microsoft PE/COFF spec. However,
as long as I observed the behavior of link.exe, this seems to be what we want
for compatibility.

We can add multiple undefined atoms having the same name to the symbol table.
If such atoms are added, the symbol table compares their canBeNull attributes,
and select one having a stronger constraint. If their canBeNulls are the same,
the choice is arbitrary. Currently it choose the existing one.
This patch changes the preference, so that the symbol table choose the new one
if the new atom has a greater canBeNull or a fallback atom. This shouldn't
change the behavior except the case described below.
A new undefined atom may have a new fallback atom attribute. By choosing the new
atom, we can update the fallback atom during Core Linking. PE/COFF actually need
that. For example, _lseek is an alias for __lseek on Windows. One of an object
file in OLDNAMES.LIB has an undefined atom for _lseek with the fallback to
__lseek. When the linker tries to resolve _read, it supposed to read the file
from OLDNAMES.LIB and use the new fallback from the file. Currently LLD cannot
handle such case because duplicate undefined atoms with the same attributes are
ignored.

Dead-strip root symbols can be undefined atoms, but should not really be
nonexistent, because dead-strip root symbols should be added to initial
undefined atoms at startup. Whenever you look up its name in the symbol
table, some type of atom will always exist.

This change removes code in various places which was setting the File Ordinals.
This is because the file ordinals are assigned by the way files are resolved.
There was no other way than making the getNextFileAndOrdinal be set const and
change the _nextOrdinal to mutable.
There are so many places in code, that you would need to cleanup to make
LinkingContext non-const!

This associates resolveState to FileNodes. The control node derive
their resolution state from the inputElements that are contained in
it.
This makes --start-group/--end-group to work with ELF linking.

Summary:
The original code with enum "_" is intended to emulate scoped enums.
Now we have real scoped enums, so use it.

Changes :-
a) Functionality in InputGraph to insert Input elements at any position
b) Functionality in the Resolver to use nextFile
c) Move the functionality of assigning file ordinals to InputGraph
d) Changes all inputs to MemoryBuffers
e) Remove LinkerInput, InputFiles, ReaderArchive

This adds an option --output-filetype that can be set to either
YAML/Native(case insensitive). The linker would create the outputs
associated with the type specified by the user.
Changes all the tests to use the new option.

This also makes it support debugging executables built with lld.
Initial patch done by Bigcheese. This is only a revised patch to

In COFF, an undefined symbol can have up to one alternative name. If a symbol
is resolved by its regular name, then it's linked normally. If a symbol is not
found in any input files, all references to the regular name are resolved using
the alternative name. If the alternative name is not found, it's a link error.
This mechanism is called "weak externals".
To support this mechanism, I added a new member function fallback() to undefined
atom. If an undefined atom has the second name, fallback() returns a new undefined
atom that should be used instead of the original one to resolve undefines. If it
does not have the second name, the function returns nullptr.

attribute in LinkerInput to isWholeArchive and use that for deciding
whether library archives should be expanded. Implement the -all_load

It looks like there is a possibility of seeing RO/RW note sections
and we would need to create an appropriate RO/RW segment associated
with them.
Adds a test too.

This adds an API to the LinkingContext for flavors to add Internal files
containing atoms that need to appear in the YAML output as well, when -emit-yaml
switch is used.
Flavors can add more internal files for other options that are needed.

typeTLV content type is used by Darwin to represent thread local
storage. A new contentType has to be made to represent ELF
thread local storage data. These have been set to
- typeThreadZeroFill (represents TBSS storage)
- typeThreadData (represents TDATA storage)

Also change some local variable names: "ti" -> "context" and
"_targetInfo" -> "_context".

This patch adds a new pass, IdataPass, to transform shared atom references
to real references and to construct the .idata section data. With this patch
lld can produce a working Hello World program by linking it against
kernel32.dll and user32.dll.

The yaml reader is not specific to any file format. This patch moves
it to TargetInfo and makes validate a non virtual interface so that it
can be constructed from a single location.
The same method will be used to create a reader for llvm bitcode
files.
