StringRefZ is a class to represent a null-terminated string. String
length is computed lazily, so it's more efficient than StringRef to
represent strings in string table.
The motivation of defining this new class is to merge functions
that only differ in string types; we have many constructors that takes
`const char *` or `StringRef`. With StringRefZ, we can merge them.

We have different functions to stringize objects to construct
error messages. For InputFile, we have getFilename, and for
InputSection, we have getName. You had to memorize them.
I think this is the case where the function overloading comes in handy.
This patch defines toString() functions that are overloaded for all these
types, so that you just call it in error().

There are two ways to set symbol versions. One way is to use symbol
definition file, and the other is to embed version names to symbol
names. In the latter way, symbol name is in the form of `foo@version1`
where `foo` is a real name and `version1` is a version.
We were parsing symbol names in insert(). That seems unnecessarily
too early. We can do it later after we resolve all symbols. Doing it
lazily is a good thing because it makes code easier to read
(because now we have a separate pass to parse symbol names). Also
it could slightly improve performance because if two identical symbols
have versions, we now parse them only once.
llvm-svn: 287741
Previously, we stored offsets in string tables to symbols, so
you needed to pass a string table to get a symbol name. This patch
stores const char pointers instead to eliminate the need to pass
a string table.
llvm-svn: 287737
Patch allows to pass a symbols file to linker.
LLD will map symbols to sections and sort sections
in output according to symbol ordering file.
That can help to reduce the startup time and/or
amount of pagefaults during startup.
Also, interesting benchmark result was produced by Rafael Espíndola.
After applying the symbols file for clang he timed compiling
X86MCTargetDesc.ii to an object file.
The page faults went from just
56,988 to 56,946 since most faults are not in the binary.
Running time went from 4.403053515 to 4.178112244.
The speedup seems to be because of better cache
locality.

The disadvantage is that we use uint64_t instad of uint32_t for some
value in 32 bit files. The advantage is a substantially simpler code,
faster builds and less code duplication.
llvm-svn: 286414
This is similar to what was done for InputSection.
With this the various fields are stored in host order and only
converted to target order when writing.

A CommonInputSection is a section containing all common symbols.
That was an input section but was abstracted in a different way
than the synthetic input sections because it was written before
the synthetic input section was invented.
This patch rewrites CommonInputSection as a synthetic input section
so that it behaves better with other sections.

Previously, we have a lot of BumpPtrAllocators, but all these
allocators virtually have the same lifetime because they are
not freed until the linker finishes its job. This patch aggregates
them into a single allocator.
Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D26042
llvm-svn: 285452
We used to have one allocator per file, which reduces the advantage of
using an allocator in the first place.
This is a small speed up is most cases. The largest speedup was in
1.014X in chromium no-gc. The largest slowdown was scylla at 1.003X.

Instead of storing a pointer, store the members we need.
The reason for doing this is that it makes it far easier to create
synthetic sections. It also avoids reading data from files multiple
times., which might help with cross endian linking and host
architectures with slow unaligned access.
There are obvious compacting opportunities, but this already has mixed
results even on native x86_64 linking.
There is also the possibility of better refactoring the code for
handling common symbols, but this already shows that a custom class is
not necessary.

Some MIPS relocations used to access GOT entries are able to manipulate
16-bit index. The other ones like R_MIPS_CALL_HI16/LO16 can handle
32-bit indexes. 16-bit relocations are generated by default. The 32-bit
relocations are generated by -mxgot flag passed to compiler. Usually
these relocation are not mixed in the same code but files like crt*.o
contain 16-bit relocations so even if all "user's" code compiled with
-mxgot flag a few 16-bit relocations might come to the linking phase.
Now LLD does not differentiate local GOT entries accessed via a 16-bit
and 32-bit indexes. That might lead to relocation's overflow if 16-bit
entries are allocated to far from the beginning of the GOT.
The patch introduces new "part" of MIPS GOT dedicated to the local GOT
entries accessed by 32-bit relocations. That allows to put local GOT
entries accessed via a 16-bit index first and escape relocation's overflow.

r283984 introduced a problem of too many warning messages being shown
when -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections were used in conjunction
with --gc-sections linker flag and debugging information present. This

In case of linking PIC and non-PIC code together and generation of a
relocatable object, all PIC symbols should have STO_MIPS_PIC flag in the
symbol table of the ouput file.
llvm-svn: 282714
Previously, all input files were owned by the symbol table.
Files were created at various places, such as the Driver, the lazy
symbols, or the bitcode compiler, and the ownership of new files
was transferred to the symbol table using std::unique_ptr.
All input files were then free'd when the symbol table is freed
which is on program exit.
I think we don't have to transfer ownership just to free all
instance at once on exit.
In this patch, all instances are automatically collected to a
vector and freed on exit. In this way, we no longer have to
use std::unique_ptr.

r275711 for "speedng up symbol version handling" was committed
by misunderstanding; the benchmark number was measured with
a debug build. The number with a release build didn't actually change.
This patch removes false optimizations added in that patch.

In the last patch for --trace-symbol, I introduced a new symbol type
PlaceholderKind and store it to SymVector storage. It made all code
that iterates over SymVector to recognize and skip PlaceholderKind
symbols. I found that that's annoying.
In this patch, I removed PlaceholderKind and stop storing them to SymVector.
Now the information whether a symbol is being watched by --trace-symbol
is stored to the Symtab hash table.
llvm-svn: 275747
--trace-symbol is a command line option to watch a symbol.
Previosly, we looked up a hash table for a new symbol if the
option is given. Any code that looks up a hash table for each
symbol is expensive because the linker handles a lot of symbols.
In our design, we look up a hash table strictly only once
for a symbol, so --trace-symbol was an exception.
This patch improves efficiency of the option by merging the
hash table into the symbol table.
Instead of looking up a separate hash table with a string,
this patch sets `Traced` flag to symbols specified by --trace-symbol.
So, if you insert a symbol and get a symbol with `Traced` flag on,
you know that you need to print out a log message for the symbol.
This is nearly zero cost.
llvm-svn: 275716
Versions can be assigned to symbols in two different ways.
One is the usual version scripts, and the other is special
symbol suffix '@'. If a symbol contains '@', the string after
that is considered to specify a version name.
Previously, we look for '@' for all symbols.
Anything that works on every symbol can be expensive because
the linker has to handle a lot of symbols. The search for '@'
was not an exception.
In this patch, I made two optimizations.
The first optimization is to handle '@' only when at least one
version is defined. If no versions are defined, no versions can
be assigned to any symbols, so it's waste of time to search for '@'.
The second optimization is to scan only suffixes of symbol names
instead of entire symbol names. Symbol names can be very long, but
symbol versions are usually short, so scanning entire symbol names
is waste of time, too.
There are some error cases which we no longer be able to detect
with this patch. I don't think it's a major drawback because they
are minor errors. Speed is more important.
This change improves LLD with debug info self-link time from
6.6993 seconds to 6.3426 seconds (or -5.3%).

Previously, each subclass of SymbolBody had a pointer to a source
file from which it was created. So, there was no single way to get
a source file for a symbol. We had getSourceFile<ELFT>(), but the
function was a bit inconvenient as it's a template.
This patch makes SymbolBody have a pointer to a source file.
If a symbol is not created from a file, the pointer has a nullptr.

Symbols.cpp contains functions to handle ELF symbols.
demangle() function is essentially a function to work on a
string rather than on an ELF symbol. So Strings.cpp is a
better place to put that function.

Previously, it demangled symbols only when Config->Demangle is true.

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.

There are two motivations for this patch. The first one is a preparation
for support MIPS TLS relocations. It might sound like a joke but for GOT
entries related to TLS relocations MIPS ABI uses almost regular approach
with creation of dynamic relocations for each GOT enty etc. But we need
to separate these 'regular' TLS related entries from MIPS specific local
and global parts of GOT. ABI declare simple solution - all TLS related
entries allocated at the end of GOT after local/global parts. The second
motivation it to support GOT relocations for non-preemptible symbols
with addends. If we have more than one GOT relocations against symbol S
with different addends we need to create GOT entries for each unique
Symbol/Addend pairs.
So we store all MIPS GOT entries in separate containers. For non-preemptible
symbols we have to maintain two data structures. The first one is MipsLocal
vector. Each entry corresponds to the GOT entry from the 'local' part
of the GOT contains the symbol's address plus addend. The second one
is MipsLocalMap. It is a map from Symbol/Addend pair to the GOT index.

PltZero (or PLT[0]) was an appropriate name for the little code
we have at beginning of the PLT section when we only supported x86
since the code for x86 just fits in the first PLT slot.
It's not the case anymore. The code for ARM64 occupies first two
slots, so PltZero spans PLT[0] and PLT[1], for example.
This patch renames it to avoid confusion.
