Synthetic sections don't belong to any input file, but still they
are input sections. Whenever problem occurs with relocations in
these sections lld crashes in error reporting, trying to print

Patch from James Henderson.
If a user has a long link, e.g. due to a large LTO link, they do not
wish to run it and find that it failed because there was a mistake in
their command-line, after they waited for some significant amount of
time. This change adds some basic checking of the linker output file
path, which is run shortly after parsing the command-line and linker
script. An error is emitted if LLD cannot write to the specified path.

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.

Using .eh_frame input section pattern in linker script currently

Previously, if you have foo=bar in a definition file, this assertion
could fire because when symbols are read from file they could be mangled.
It seems that due to historical reasons underscore mangling scheme is
really ad-hoc, and I cannot find a clean way to handle this. I had
to just de-mangle symbols to search again.

Some archive files created during chromium build contains both BC
and native files. If that's the case, we want to pass the archive
file to link.exe. Otherwise, the MSVC linker would complain that
there's an unresolved symbol in a given set of files.
I cannot explain why link.exe doesn't complain about the presence
of bitcode files in this case, but it seems link.exe doesn't touch BC.
llvm-svn: 297229
If /msvclto is specified, we compile bitcode files and pass it to the
MSVC linker, stripping all bitcode files. We haven't stripped archive
files, because I was thinking that the MSVC linker wouldn't touch files
in archive files. When we pass an object file to link.exe, all symbols
have been resolved already, so link.exe shoulnd't need any of the files
in archives.
It turns out that even though link.exe doesn't need to do that, it
seems to try to read each file in all archives. And if there's a non-
COFF file in an archive, it exists with an error message. So we need
to remove archives from the command line too.

This puts us at parity with bfd, which could already gc this case.
I noticed the sections not being gced when linking a modified freebsd
kernel. A section that was not gced and not mentioned in the linker
script would end up breaking the expected layout. Since fixing the gc
is relatively simple and an improvement, that seems better than trying
to hack the orphan placement code.
There are 173 input section in the entire link whose names are valid C
identifiers, so this is probably not too performance critical.
llvm-svn: 297049
We were not gcing any section whose name was a C identifier. Both gold
and bfd only keep those if they are used.
To avoid having to create the __start/__stop symbols early or doing
string lookups in resolvedReloc, this patch just looks for undefined
symbols __start/__stop to decide if a section is needed or not.

Previously, LLD merged all read-only sections. So the following
program prints out "true" if -icf=all is specified.
static const int foo = 1;
static const int bar = 1;
int main() { printf("%s\n", &foo == &bar ? "true" : "false"); }
This is somewhat counter-intuitive, and it actually caused nasty issues.
One example is https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=682773#c24.
This patch changes the way how it works. Now ICF merges only functions
(i.e. executable sections).

Patch by Mark Kettenis.
Currenlty ld.lld does not add a terminator (a CIE with its length field
set to zero) to the .eh_frame sections it generates. While the relevant
standards (the AMD64 SysV ABI and the Linux LSB) are not explicit about
this, such a terminator is expected by some unwinder implementations and
seems to be always emitted by ld.bfd. In addition to that, the Linux LSB
https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/ehframechpt.html#EHFRAME
explicitly says that
The .eh_frame section shall contain 1 or more Call Frame Information
(CFI) records.
Currently, if the .eh_frame sections of the input files only contain
terminators, ld.lld emits a zero=sized .eh_frame section
which clearly doesn't meet that requirement.
The diff makes sure a terminator gets added to each .eh_frame section
and adjusts all the relevant tests to account for that. An additional
test isn't needed as these adjustments mean that the existence of the
terminator is tested for by several tests already.

Previously we evaluated the values of LMA incorrectly for next cases:
.text : AT(ADDR(.text) - 0xffffffff80000000) { ... }
.data : AT(ADDR(.data) - 0xffffffff80000000) { ... }
.init.begin : AT(ADDR(.init.begin) - 0xffffffff80000000) { ... }
Reason was that we evaluated offset when VA was not assigned. For case above
we ended up with 3 loads that has similar LMA and it was incorrect.
That is critical for linux kernel.
Patch updates the offset after VA calculation. That fixes the issue.
