Mips aligns PT_LOAD to 16 bits (0x10000). That means that the lower 16
bits are always the same, so we can, effectively, say that the
relocation is relative.
llvm-svn: 264761
Local symbol which requires GOT entry initialized by "page" address.
This address is high 16 bits of sum of the symbol value and the relocation
addend. In the relocation scanning phase final values of symbols are unknown
so to reduce number of allocated GOT entries do the following trick. Save
all output sections referenced by GOT relocations during the relocation
scanning phase. Then later in the `GotSection::finalize` method calculate
number of "pages" required to cover all saved output sections and allocate
appropriate number of GOT entries. We assume the worst case - each 64kb
page of the output section has at least one GOT relocation against it.

Some optimizations, e.g. SimplifyLibCalls, can replace functions with
others as part of the lowering, e.g. printf => puts.
The new symbols don't have the isUsedInRegularObj flag set so they

The code for LTO has been growing, so now is probably a good time to

When a tls access is optimized, a group of relocations is converted at a

We were already skipping relocations that were optimized out in
relocate, but not in scanRelocs.

They should be generated instead of R_X86_64_GOTPCREL for cases

This patch implements --build-id. After the linker creates an output file
in the memory buffer, it computes the FNV1 hash of the resulting file
and set the hash to the .note section as a build-id.
GNU ld and gold have the same feature, but their default choice of the
hash function is different. Their default is SHA1.
We made a deliberate choice to not use a secure hash function for the
sake of performance. Computing a secure hash is slow -- for example,
MD5 throughput is usually 400 MB/s or so. SHA1 is slower than that.
As a result, if you pass --build-id to gold, then the linker becomes about
10% slower than that without the option. We observed a similar degradation
in an experimental implementation of build-id for LLD. On the other hand,
we observed only 1-2% performance degradation with the FNV hash.
Since build-id is not for digital certificate or anything, we think that
a very small probability of collision is acceptable.
We considered using other signals such as using input file timestamps as
inputs to a secure hash function. But such signals would have an issue
with build reproducibility (if you build a binary from the same source
tree using the same toolchain, the build id should become the same.)
GNU linkers accepts --build-id=<style> option where style is one of
"MD5", "SHA1", or an arbitrary hex string. That option is out of scope
of this patch.

This is the first patch to use more than one threads.
Note that --thread is off by default because it is experimental.
At this moment I still want to focus on single thread performance
because multi-threading is not a magic wand to fix performance
problems after all. It is generally very hard to make a slow program

using more than one core.

This patch implements the same algorithm as LLD/COFF's ICF. I'm
not going to repeat the same description about how it works, so you
want to read the comment in ICF.cpp in this patch if you want to know
the details. This algorithm should be more powerful than the ICF
algorithm implemented in GNU gold. It can even merge mutually-recursive
functions (which is harder than one might think).
ICF is a fairly effective size optimization. Here are some examples.
LLD: 37.14 MB -> 35.80 MB (-3.6%)
Clang: 59.41 MB -> 57.80 MB (-2.7%)
The lacking feature is "safe" version of ICF. This merges all
identical sections. That is not compatible with a C/C++ language
requirement that two distinct functions must have distinct addresses.
But as long as your program do not rely on the pointer equality
(which is in many cases true), your program should work with the
feature. LLD works fine for example.
GNU gold implements so-called "safe ICF" that identifies functions
that are safe to merge by heuristics -- for example, gold thinks
that constructors are safe to merge because there is no way to
take an address of a constructor in C++. We have a different idea
which David Majnemer suggested that we add NOPs at beginning of
merged functions so that two or more pointers can have distinct
values. We can do whichever we want, but this patch does not
include neither.

This commit does two related thing. At first, it enumerates supported
absolute MIPS relocations in the `MipsTargetInfo<ELFT>::isRelRelative`

tend to grow. At second, it prevents R_MIPS_COPY and PLT creation for
relative relocations. For almost all relative MIPS relocations like
R_MIPS_PC19_S2, R_MIPS_PCHI16 etc it does not have a sence. The only
exception is R_MIPS_PC32. GNU linker creates a copy relocation or PLT
entry for it. But I could not find any real test case uses R_MIPS_PC32
with DSO defined symbol as a target. So for now I prefer to skip this
case to simplify the LLD code.

"Discarded" section is a marker for discarded sections, and we do not
use the instance except for checking its identity. In that sense, it

In this patch, we no longer instantiate Discarded section but instead
