I think --reproduce is no longer a debug-only option but a useful
option that a common user may want to use. So, this patch updates
the description of the option in the manual page.

This patch adds new command line option `--undefined-glob` to lld.
That option is a variant of `--undefined` but accepts wildcard
patterns so that all symbols that match with a given pattern are
handled as if they were given by `-u`.
`-u foo` is to force resolve symbol foo if foo is not a defined symbol
and there's a static archive that contains a definition of symbol foo.
Now, you can specify a wildcard pattern as an argument for `--undefined-glob`.
So, if you want to include all JNI symbols (which start with "Java_"), you
can do that by passing `--undefined-glob "Java_*"` to the linker, for example.
In this patch, I use the same glob pattern matcher as the version script
processor is using, so it does not only support `*` but also `?` and `[...]`.

Branch Target Identification (BTI) and Pointer Authentication (PAC) are
architecture features introduced in v8.5a and 8.3a respectively. The new
instructions have been added in the hint space so that binaries take
advantage of support where it exists yet still run on older hardware. The
impact of each feature is:
BTI: For executable pages that have been guarded, all indirect branches
must have a destination that is a BTI instruction of the appropriate type.
For the static linker, this means that PLT entries must have a "BTI c" as
the first instruction in the sequence. BTI is an all or nothing
property for a link unit, any indirect branch not landing on a valid
destination will cause a Branch Target Exception.
PAC: The dynamic loader encodes with PACIA the address of the destination
that the PLT entry will load from the .plt.got, placing the result in a
subset of the top-bits that are not valid virtual addresses. The PLT entry
may authenticate these top-bits using the AUTIA instruction before
branching to the destination. Use of PAC in PLT sequences is a contract
between the dynamic loader and the static linker, it is independent of
whether the relocatable objects use PAC.
BTI and PAC are independent features that can be combined. So we can have
several combinations of PLT:
- Standard with no BTI or PAC
- BTI PLT with "BTI c" as first instruction.
- PAC PLT with "AUTIA1716" before the indirect branch to X17.
- BTIPAC PLT with "BTI c" as first instruction and "AUTIA1716" before the
first indirect branch to X17.
The use of BTI and PAC in relocatable object files are encoded by feature
bits in the .note.gnu.property section in a similar way to Intel CET. There
is one AArch64 specific program property GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_AND
and two target feature bits defined:
- GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI
-- All executable sections are compatible with BTI.
- GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC
-- All executable sections have return address signing enabled.
Due to the properties of FEATURE_1_AND the static linker can tell when all
input relocatable objects have the BTI and PAC feature bits set. The static
linker uses this to enable the appropriate PLT sequence.
Neither -> standard PLT
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI -> BTI PLT
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC -> PAC PLT
Both properties -> BTIPAC PLT
In addition to the .note.gnu.properties there are two new command line
options:
--force-bti : Act as if all relocatable inputs had
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI and warn for every relocatable object
that does not.
--pac-plt : Act as if all relocatable inputs had
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC. As PAC is a contract between the loader
and static linker no warning is given if it is not present in an input.
Two processor specific dynamic tags are used to communicate that a non
standard PLT sequence is being used.
DTI_AARCH64_BTI_PLT and DTI_AARCH64_BTI_PAC.

Patch by Mark Johnston!
Summary:
When the option is configured, ifunc calls do not go through the PLT;
rather, they appear as regular function calls with relocations
referencing the ifunc symbol, and the resolver is invoked when
applying the relocation. This is intended for use in freestanding
environments where text relocations are permissible and is incompatible
with the -z text option. The option is motivated by ifunc usage in the
FreeBSD kernel, where ifuncs are used to elide CPU feature flag bit
checks in hot paths. Instead of replacing the cost of a branch with that
of an indirect function call, the -z ifunc-noplt option is used to ensure
that ifunc calls carry no hidden overhead relative to normal function
calls.
Test Plan:
I added a couple of regression tests and tested the FreeBSD kernel
build using the latest lld sources.
To demonstrate the effects of the change, I used a micro-benchmark
which results in frequent invocations of a FreeBSD kernel ifunc. The
benchmark was run with and without IBRS enabled, and with and without
-zifunc-noplt configured. The observed speedup is small and consistent,
and is significantly larger with IBRS enabled:

The -n (--nmagic) disables page alignment, and acts as a -Bstatic
The -N (--omagic) does what -n does but also marks the executable segment as
writeable. As page alignment is disabled headers are not allocated unless
explicit in the linker script.
To disable page alignment in LLD we choose to set the page sizes to 1 so
that any alignment based on the page size does nothing. To set the
Target->PageSize to 1 we implement -z common-page-size, which has the side
effect of allowing the user to set the value as well.
Setting the page alignments to 1 does mean that any use of
CONSTANT(MAXPAGESIZE) or CONSTANT(COMMONPAGESIZE) in a linker script will
return 1, unlike in ld.bfd. However given that -n and -N disable paging
these probably shouldn't be used in a linker script where -n or -N is in
use.

When faced with command line options such as "crtbegin.o appmain.o
-lsomelib crtend.o", GNU ld pulls in all necessary object files from
somelib before proceeding to crtend.o.
LLD operates differently, only loading object files from any
referenced static libraries after processing all input object files.
This uses a similar hack as in the ELF linker. Here, it moves crtend.o
to the end of the vector of object files. This makes sure that
terminator chunks for sections such as .eh_frame gets ordered last,
fixing DWARF exception handling for libgcc and gcc's crtend.o.

Currently we have -Rpass for filtering the remarks that are displayed as

to filter the remarks while generating them.
This adds support for filtering remarks by passes using a regex.
Ex: `clang -fsave-optimization-record -foptimization-record-passes=inline`
will only emit the remarks coming from the pass `inline`.
This adds:
* `-fsave-optimization-record` to the driver
* `-opt-record-passes` to cc1

Previously we could emit a warning and generate a potentially invalid
wasm module (due to call sites and functions having conflicting

cases by creating stub functions containing unreachable, effectively
turning these into runtime errors rather than validation failures.

Summary:
This follows the ld.bfd/gold behavior.
The error check is useful as it captures a common type of ld.so undefined symbol errors as link-time errors:
// a.cc => a.so (not linked with -z defs)
void f(); // f is undefined
void g() { f(); }
// b.cc => executable with a DT_NEEDED entry on a.so
void g();
int main() { g(); }
// ld.so errors when g() is executed (lazy binding) or when the program is started (-z now)
// symbol lookup error: ... undefined symbol: f

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and

By default LLD will generate position independent Thunks when the --pie or
--shared option is used. Reference to absolute addresses is permitted in
other cases. For some embedded systems position independent thunks are
needed for code that executes before the MMU has been set up. The option
--pic-veneer is used by ld.bfd to force position independent thunks.
The patch adds --pic-veneer as the option is needed for the Linux kernel
on Arm.

Spec says that:
"Objects may be built with the -z nodefaultlib option to
suppress any search of the default locations at runtime.
Use of this option implies that all the dependencies of an
object can be located using its runpaths.
Without this option, which is the most common case, no
matter how you augment the runtime linker's library
search path, its last element is always /usr/lib for 32-bit
objects and /usr/lib/64 for 64-bit objects."
