Previously BC files were not checked for the same platform etc,
That lead to confusing error "Invalid section header entry size (e_shentsize) in ELF header" when

Previously, we initialized Config->EKind and Config->EMachine when
we instantiate ELF objects. That was not an ideal location to do that
because the logic was buried too deep inside a concrete logic.
This patch moves the code to the driver so that the initialization
becomes explicit.

t is possible to create new version of symbol instead of depricated one
using combination of version script and asm commands. For example:
__asm__(".symver b_1,b@LIBSAMPLE_1.0");
int b_1() { return 10; }
__asm__(".symver b_2,b@@LIBSAMPLE_2.0");
int b_2() { return 20; }
This code makes b_2() to be default implementation for b().
b_1() is used for compatibility with binaries compiled against
library of older version LIBSAMPLE_1.0.
This patch implements support for above functionality in lld.

Patch by Shridhar Joshi.
This option provides names of all the link time modules which define and
reference symbols requested by user. This helps to speed up application
development by detecting references causing undefined symbols.
It also helps in detecting symbols being resolved to wrong (unintended)
definitions in case of applications containing multiple definitions for
same symbols with different types, bindings.
Implements PR28226.

For next version script:
VER1{
global:
a;
};
VER2{
global:
a;
};
gold would produce warning like:
"warning: using 'VER1' as version for 'a' which is also named in version 'VER2' in script."
Documentation also says we do not want this duplications (https://people.freebsd.org/~deischen/symver/library_versioning.txt):
"Note that you do not want to duplicate symbols in the map file. The .symver directives are all that is required to add compatibility
symbols into old versions."
This patch restricts such mixing and makes lld to produce error in this case.

Doing that in an anonymous version is a bit silly, but this opens the
way for supporting it in general.
Since we don't support actual versions, for now we just disable the
version script if we detect that it is missing a local.

This should never happen with correct programs, but it is trivial
write a testcase where lld would crash or report duplicated
symbols. We now behave like when an archive is used and include the

We can now use this to decide whether to emit a verneed during the final
pass over the symbols. We were previously wrongly creating a verneed entry
in the case where all references to a DSO's symbols were weak.
In a future change we may also want to use the used bit to control whether
shared symbols are preemptible and appear in the dynsym. This seems a little
tricky to do at the moment because isNeeded() is templated.
The only other functional change here is that we emit a DT_NEEDED for DSOs
whose symbols are all preempted by objects that appear later in the link. But
that doesn't seem too important to me.

Weak undefined symbols resolve to the image base. This is a little strange,
but it allows us to link function calls to such symbols. Normally such a
call will be guarded with a comparison, which will load a zero from the GOT.
There's one example of such a function call in crti.o in Linux's CRT.
As part of this change, I also needed to make the synthetic start and end
symbols image base relative in the case where their sections were empty,
so that PC-relative references to those symbols would continue to work.

This patch increases the size of Undefined by the size of a pointer,
but it wouldn't actually increase the size of memory that LLD uses
because we are not allocating the exact size but the size of the
largest SymbolBody.
llvm-svn: 268310
This patch implements a new design for the symbol table that stores
SymbolBodies within a memory region of the Symbol object. Symbols are mutated
by constructing SymbolBodies in place over existing SymbolBodies, rather
than by mutating pointers. As mentioned in the initial proposal [1], this
memory layout helps reduce the cache miss rate by improving memory locality.
Performance numbers:
old(s) new(s)
Without debug info:
chrome 7.178 6.432 (-11.5%)
LLVMgold.so 0.505 0.502 (-0.5%)
clang 0.954 0.827 (-15.4%)
llvm-as 0.052 0.045 (-15.5%)
With debug info:
scylla 5.695 5.613 (-1.5%)
clang 14.396 14.143 (-1.8%)
Performance counter results show that the fewer required indirections is
indeed the cause of the improved performance. For example, when linking
chrome, stalled cycles decreases from 14,556,444,002 to 12,959,238,310, and
instructions per cycle increases from 0.78 to 0.83. We are also executing
many fewer instructions (15,516,401,933 down to 15,002,434,310), probably
because we spend less time allocating SymbolBodies.
The new mechanism by which symbols are added to the symbol table is by calling
add* functions on the SymbolTable.
In this patch, I handle local symbols by storing them inside "unparented"
SymbolBodies. This is suboptimal, but if we do want to try to avoid allocating
these SymbolBodies, we can probably do that separately.
I also removed a few members from the SymbolBody class that were only being
used to pass information from the input file to the symbol table.
This patch implements the new design for the ELF linker only. I intend to
prepare a similar patch for the COFF linker.

There seems to be no reason to keep st_size of undefined symbols.

this is unimportant.

The semantics of the -u flag are to load the lazy symbol named by the flag. We
were previously relying on this behavior falling out of symbol resolution
against a synthetic undefined symbol, but that didn't quite give us the
correct behavior, so we needed a flag to mark symbols created with -u so
we could treat them specially in the writer. However, it's simpler and less
error prone to implement the required behavior directly and remove the flag.
This fixes an issue where symbols loaded with -u would receive hidden
visibility even when the definition in an object file had wider visibility.

This remove a fixme, cleans up the weak undef interaction with archives and

This patch only implements support for version scripts of the form:
{ [ global: symbol1; symbol2; [...]; symbolN; ] local: *; };
No wildcards are supported, other than for the local entry. Symbol versioning
is also not supported.
It works by introducing a new Symbol flag which tracks whether a symbol
appears in the global section of a version script.
This patch also simplifies the logic in SymbolBody::isPreemptible(), and
teaches it to handle the case where symbols with default visibility in DSOs
do not appear in the dynamic symbol table because of a version script.
Fixes PR27482.

These are properties of a symbol name, rather than a particular instance
of a symbol in an object file. We can simplify the code by collecting these
properties in Symbol.
The MustBeInDynSym flag has been renamed ExportDynamic, as its semantics
have been changed to be the same as those of --dynamic-list and
--export-dynamic-symbol, which do not cause hidden symbols to be exported.

Parallelism level can be chosen using the new --lto-jobs=K option
where K is the number of threads used for CodeGen. It currently
defaults to 1.

We never need to iterate over the K,V pairs, so we can avoid copying the
key as MapVector does.
This is a small speedup on most benchmarks.

This patch implements the --dynamic-list option, which adds a list of
global symbol that either should not be bounded by default definition
when creating shared libraries, or add in dynamic symbol table in the
case of creating executables.
The patch modifies the ScriptParserBase class to use a list of Token
instead of StringRef, which contains information if the token is a
quoted or unquoted strings. It is used to use a faster search for
exact match symbol name.
The input file follow a similar format of linker script with some
simplifications (it does not have scope or node names). It leads
to a simplified parser define in DynamicList.{cpp,h}.
Different from ld/gold neither glob pattern nor mangled names
(extern 'C++') are currently supported.
llvm-svn: 266227
Previously each archive file was reported no matter were it's member used or not,
like:
lib/libLLVMSupport.a
Now lld prints line for each used internal file, like:
lib/libLLVMSupport.a(lib/Support/CMakeFiles/LLVMSupport.dir/StringSaver.cpp.o)
lib/libLLVMSupport.a(lib/Support/CMakeFiles/LLVMSupport.dir/Host.cpp.o)
lib/libLLVMSupport.a(lib/Support/CMakeFiles/LLVMSupport.dir/ConvertUTF.c.o)
That should be consistent with what gold do.

This simplifies the code by allowing us to remove the visibility argument
to functions that create synthetic symbols.
The only functional change is that the visibility of the MIPS "_gp" symbol
is now hidden. Because this symbol is defined in every executable or DSO, it
would be difficult to observe a visibility change here.

Now MustBeInDynSym is only true if the symbol really must be in the
dynamic symbol table.
IsUsedInRegularObj is only true if the symbol is used in a .o or -u. Not
a .so or a .bc.
A benefit is that this is now done almost entirilly during symbol
resolution. The only exception is copy relocations because of aliases.
This includes a small fix in that protected symbols in .so don't force
executable symbols to be exported.
This also opens the way for implementing internalize for -shared.
llvm-svn: 265826
start-lib and end-lib are options to link object files in the same
semantics as archive files. If an object is in start-lib and end-lib,
the object is linked only when the file is needed to resolve
undefined symbols. That means, if an object is in start-lib and end-lib,
it behaves as if it were in an archive file.
In this patch, I introduced a new notion, LazyObjectFile. That is
analogous to Archive file type, but that works for a single object
file instead of for an archive file.

Our symbol representation was redundant, and some times would get out of
sync. It had an Elf_Sym, but some fields were copied to SymbolBody.
Different parts of the code were checking the bits in SymbolBody and
others were checking Elf_Sym.
There are two general approaches to fix this:
* Copy the required information and don't store and Elf_Sym.
* Don't copy the information and always use the Elf_Smy.
The second way sounds tempting, but has a big problem: we would have to
template SymbolBody. I started doing it, but it requires templeting
*everything* and creates a bit chicken and egg problem at the driver
where we have to find ELFT before we can create an ArchiveFile for
example.
As much as possible I compared the test differences with what gold and
bfd produce to make sure they are still valid. In most cases we are just
adding hidden visibility to a local symbol, which is harmless.
In most tests this is a small speedup. The only slowdown was scylla
(1.006X). The largest speedup was clang with no --build-id, -O3 or
--gc-sections (i.e.: focus on the relocations): 1.019X.
