A user program may enumerate sections named with a C identifier using
__start_* and __stop_* symbols. We cannot ICF any such sections because
that could change program semantics.

Note that this doesn't do the right thing in the case where there is
a linker script. We probably need to move output section assignment
before ICF to get the correct behaviour here.

When a symbol is GC'd it can still be references by relocations
in the debug sections, but such symbols are not assigned virtual
addresses.
This change adds a new global data symbol which gets GC'd but
should still appears in the output debug info, albeit with a 0
address.

This change adds the ability for lld to remove LEB padding from
code section. This effectively shrinks the size of the resulting
binary in proportion to the number of code relocations.
Since there will be a performance cost this is currently only active for
-O1 and above. Some toolchains may instead want to perform this
compression as a post linker step (for example running a binary through
binaryen will automatically compress these values).
I imagine we might want to make this the default in the future.

_init_array_start/end are placed at 0 if no ".init_array" presents,
this causes .text relocation against them become more prone to overflow.

Previously we emitted 20-byte SHA1 hashes. This is overkill
for identifying debug info records, and has the negative side
effect of making object files bigger and links slower. By
using only the last 8 bytes of a SHA1, we get smaller object
files and ~10% faster links.
This modifies the format of the .debug$H section by adding a new
value for the hash algorithm field, so that the linker will still
work when its object files have an old format.

The prefix includes type kind, which is important to preserve. Two
different type leafs can easily have the same interior record contents
as another type.
We ran into this issue in PR37492 where a bitfield type record collided
with a const modifier record. Their contents were bitwise identical, but
their kinds were different.

Previously we would always write a hash of the binary into the
PE file, for reproducible builds. This breaks AppCompat, which
is a feature of Windows that relies on the timestamp in the PE
header being set to a real value (or at the very least, a value
that satisfies certain properties).
To address this, we put the old behavior of writing the hash
behind the /Brepro flag, which mimics MSVC linker behavior. We
also match MSVC default behavior, which is to write an actual
timestamp to the PE header. Finally, we add the /TIMESTAMP
option (an lld extension) so that the user can specify the exact
value to be used in case he/she manually constructs a value which
is both reproducible and satisfies AppCompat.

Currently, LLD marks all non-allocatable sections except SHF_REL[A] as Live
when doing GC.
This can be a reason of the crash when SHF_LINK_ORDER sections
are involved, because their parents can be dead.
We should do GC for them correctly. The patch implements it.

The --keep-unique <symbol> option is taken from gold. The intention is that
<symbol> will be prevented from being folded by ICF. Although not
specifically mentioned in the documentation <symbol> only matches
global symbols, with a warning if the symbol is not found.
The implementation finds the Section defining <symbol> and removes it from
the set of sections considered for ICF.

If a symbol with an undefined version in a DSO is not going to be
exported into the dynamic symbol table then do not give an error message
for the missing version. This can happen with the --exclude-libs option
which implicitly gives all symbols in a static library the local version.
This matches the behavior of ld.gold and is exploited by the Bionic
dynamic linker on Arm.

Summary:
Suppose we visit symbols in this order:
1. weak definition of foo in a lazy object
2. reference of foo
3 (optional). definition of foo
bfd/gold allows 123 but not 12.
Current --warn-backrefs implementation will report both cases as a backward reference. With this change, both 123 (intended) and 12 (unintended) are allowed. The usage of weak definitions usually imply there are also global definitions, so the trade-off is justified.

This CL is to mitigate R_X86_64_PC32 relocation overflow problems for huge binaries that has near 4G allocated sections.
By examining those binaries, there're 2 issues contributes to the problem:
1). huge ".dynsym" and ".dynstr" stands in the way between .rodata and .text
2). _init_array_start/end are placed at 0 if no ".init_array" presents, this causes .text relocation against them become more prone to overflow.
This CL addresses 1st problem (the 2nd will be addressed in another CL.) by assigning a smaller sortrank to .dynsym and .dynstr thus they no longer stand in between.

Merging data segments produces smaller code sizes because each segment
has some boilerplate. Therefore, merging data segments is generally the
right approach, especially with wasm where binaries are typically
delivered over the network.
However, when analyzing wasm binaries, it can be helpful to get a
conservative picture of which functions are using which data
segments[0]. Perhaps there is a large data segment that you didn't
expect to be included in the wasm, introduced by some library you're
using, and you'd like to know which library it was. In this scenario,
merging data segments only makes the analysis worse.
Alternatively, perhaps you will remove some dead functions by-hand[1]
that can't be statically proven dead by the compiler or lld, and
removing these functions might make some data garbage collect-able, and
you'd like to run `--gc-sections` again so that this now-unused data can
be collected. If the segments were originally merged, then a single use
of the merged data segment will entrench all of the data.

A non-alloc note section should not have a PT_NOTE program header.
Found while linking ghc (Haskell compiler) with lld on FreeBSD.
ghc emits a .debug-ghc-link-info note section (as the name suggests, it
contains link information) as a SHT_NOTE section without SHF_ALLOC set.
For this case ld.bfd does not emit a PT_NOTE segment for the
.debug-ghc-link-info section. lld previously emitted a PT_NOTE with
p_vaddr = 0 and FreeBSD's rtld segfaulted when trying to parse a note at
address 0.
