The primary use of build-id is in debugging, hence omitting debug
sections when computing it significantly reduces its usability as
changes in debug section content wouldn't alter the build-id.

Previously DT_PREINIT_ARRAYSZ, DT_INIT_ARRAYSZ and DT_FINI_ARRAYSZ
were set to zero when lincerscript was used becase sections sizes are
calculated later that were taken.
Patch delays values calculation for these entries. Testcase is provided.

This section supersedes .reginfo and .MIPS.options sections. But for now
we have to support all three sections for ABI transition period.

One reason why we are (ab)using OutputSectionFactory class is
because it owns output sections. Technically there's no need
to have it own sections. So, this patch transfers the ownership
to Out<ELFT>.
llvm-svn: 278452
Even if an output is not a dynamic object, the output may have
.{preinit,init,fini} sections. Therefore, managing these sections
as Out<ELFT>::Dynamic's members is not correct.

Not all relocations from a .eh_frame that point to an executable
section should be ignored. In particular, the relocation finding the
personality function should not.
This is a reduction from trying to bootstrap a static lld on linux.

This patch simplifies output section management by making
Factory class have ownership of sections that creates.

The identifier `Version` was used too often in the code to handle
symbol versions. The struct that contains version definitions is
named `Version`. Local variables for version ID are named `Version`.
Local varaible for version string are named `Version`.
This patch give them different names.

Previously, Verdefs and Verdauxs are separated in the section.
The new layout is easier to write as we do not have to maintain
two pointers and can avoid passing a reference to a pointer.

ELF spec says that alignment of 0 is equivalent to 1.
Previously, we arbitrary set to 0 or 1, but always setting to 1
makes our program simpler.

Since linkerscript should create sections by itself
(if SECTIONS command is present),
then we might want to reuse the OutputSectionFactory (D19976 already do that now),
so this patch moves it out from writer cpp file for that purpose.

The patch adds one more partition to the MIPS GOT. This time it is for
TLS related GOT entries. Such entries are located after 'local' and 'global'
ones. We cannot get a final offset for these entries at the time of
creation because we do not know size of 'local' and 'global' partitions.
So we have to adjust the offset later using `getMipsTlsOffset()` method.
All MIPS TLS relocations which need GOT entries operates MIPS style GOT
offset - 'offset from the GOT's beginning' - MipsGPOffset constant. That
is why I add new types of relocation expressions.
One more difference from othe ABIs is that the MIPS ABI does not support
any TLS relocation relaxations. I decided to make a separate function
`handleMipsTlsRelocation` and put MIPS TLS relocation handling code
there. It is similar to `handleTlsRelocation` routine and duplicates its
code. But it allows to make the code cleaner and prevent pollution of
the `handleTlsRelocation` by MIPS 'if' statements.

Peter Smith found while trying to support thunk creation for ARM that
LLD sometimes creates broken thunks for MIPS. The cause of the bug is
that we assign file offsets to input sections too early. We need to
create all sections and then assign section offsets because appending
thunks changes file offsets for all following sections.
This patch separates the pass to assign file offsets from thunk
creation pass. This effectively reverts r265673.

-soname flag was not set in testcase. Hash calculated for base def was different on local

Initial commit message:
Patch implements basic support of versioned symbols.
There is no wildcards patterns matching except local: *;
There is no support for hierarchies.
There is no support for symbols overrides (@ vs @@ not handled).

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.

I think it is me who named these variables, but I always find that
they are slightly confusing because align is a verb.
Adding four letters is worth it.

MergedInputSection::getOffset is the busiest function in LLD if string
merging is enabled and input files have lots of mergeable sections.
It is usually the case when creating executable with debug info,
so it is pretty common.
The reason why it is slow is because it has to do faily complex
computations. For non-mergeable sections, section contents are
contiguous in output, so in order to compute an output offset,
we only have to add the output section's base address to an input
offset. But for mergeable strings, section contents are split for
merging, so they are not contigous. We've got to do some lookups.
We used to do binary search on the list of section pieces.
It is slow because I think it's hostile to branch prediction.
This patch replaces it with hash table lookup. Seems it's working
pretty well. Below is "perf stat -r10" output when linking clang
with debug info. In this case this patch speeds up about 4%.

This patch addresses a post-commit review for r270325. r270325
introduced getReloc function that searches a relocation for a
given range. It always started searching from beginning of relocation
vector, so it was slower than before. Previously, we used to use
the fact that the relocations are sorted. This patch restore it.

.eh_frame_hdr assumes that there is only one .eh_frame and
ensures it by assertions. This patch makes .eh_frame a real
singleton object to simplify.
llvm-svn: 270445
Previously, EhFrameHdr section computed addresses to which FDEs are
applied to. This is not an ideal design because EhFrameHdr does not
know much about FDEs unless EhFrame passes the information to EhFrameHdr.
It is what we did.
This patch simplifies the code by making EhFrame to compute the
values and pass the cooked information to EhFrameHdr. EhFrameHdr no
longer have to know about the details of FDEs such as FDE encodings.

This patch refactors EHOutputSection using SectionPiece struct.
EHRegion class was removed since we can now directly use SectionPiece.
An incomplete support of large CIE/FDE record (> 2^32 bytes) was removed
because it silently created broken executable. There are several places
in the existing code that "size" field is always 4 bytes and at offset 4
in the record, which is not true for 64-bit size records. We will have to
support that in future, but it is better to error out instead of creating
malformed eh_frame sections.

This is the option which sorts relocs to optimize dynamic linker performance.
-z combelocs is the default in gold, also it ignores -z nocombreloc,
this patch do the same.
Patch sorts relocations by symbols only and do not create any
DT_REL[A]COUNT entries. That is different with what gold/bfd do.
