Summary:
The COFF linker and the ELF linker have long had similar but separate
Error.h and Error.cpp files to implement error handling. This change
introduces new error handling code in Common/ErrorHandler.h, changes the
COFF and ELF linkers to use it, and removes the old, separate
implementations.

We used to have a map from section piece offsets to section pieces
as a cache for binary search. But I found that the map took quite a
large amount of memory and didn't make linking faster. So, in this
patch, I removed the map.
This patch saves 566 MiB of RAM (2.019 GiB -> 1.453 GiB) when linking
clang with debug info, and the link time is 4% faster in that test case.
Thanks for Sean Silva for pointing this out.

By assuming that mergeable input sections are smaller than 4 GiB,
lld's memory usage when linking clang with debug info drops from
2.788 GiB to 2.019 GiB (measured by valgrind, and that does not include
memory space for mmap'ed files). I think that's a reasonable assumption
given such a large RAM savings, so this patch.
According to valgrind, gold needs 3.54 GiB of RAM to do the same thing.
NB: This patch does not introduce a limitation on the size of
output sections. You can still create sections larger than 4 GiB.

A section was passed to getRelExpr just to create an error message.
But if there's an invalid relocation, we would eventually report it
in relocateOne. So we don't have to pass a section to getRelExpr.

We were using uint32_t as the type of relocation kind. It has a
readability issue because what Type really means in `uint32_t Type`
is not obvious. It could be a section type, a symbol type or a
relocation type.
Since we do not do any arithemetic operations on relocation types
(e.g. adding one to R_X86_64_PC32 doesn't make sense), it would be
more natural if they are represented as enums. Unfortunately, that
is not doable because relocation type definitions are spread into
multiple header files.
So I decided to use typedef. This still should be better than the
plain uint32_t because the intended type is now obvious.
llvm-svn: 315525
The condition whether a section is alive or not by default
is becoming increasingly complex, so the decision of garbage
collection is spreading over InputSection.h and MarkLive.cpp,
which is not a good state.
This moves the code to MarkLive.cpp, to keep the file the central
place to make decisions about garbage collection.

When reporting a symbol conflict, LLD parses the debug info to report
source location information. Sections have not been decompressed at this
point, so if an object file contains zlib compressed debug info, LLD
ends up passing this compressed debug info to the DWARF parser, which
causes debug info parsing failures and can trigger assertions in the
parser (as the test case demonstrates).
Decompress debug sections when constructing the LLDDwarfObj to avoid
this issue. This doesn't handle GNU-style compressed debug info sections
(.zdebug_*), which at present are simply ignored by LLDDwarfObj; those
can be done in a follow-up.

This is "Bug 34688 - lld much slower than bfd when linking the linux kernel"

EhSectionPiece used to have a pointer to a section, but that pointer was
mostly redundant because we almost always know what the section is without
using that pointer. This patch removes the pointer from the struct.
This patch also use uint32_t/int32_t instead of size_t to represent
offsets that are hardly be larger than 4 GiB. At the moment, I think it is
OK even if we cannot handle .eh_frame sections larger than 4 GiB.

SHF_GROUP bit doesn't make sense in executables or DSOs, so linkers are
expected to remove that bit from section flags. We did that when we create
output sections.
This patch is to do that earlier than before. Now the flag is dropped when
we instantiate input section objects.
This change improves ICF. Previously, two sections that differ only in
SHF_GROUP flag were not merged, because when the control reached ICF,
the flag was still there. Now the flag is dropped before reaching to ICF,
so the difference is ignored naturally.

Before InputSectionBase had an OutputSection pointer, but that was not
always valid. For example, if it was a merge section one actually had
to look at MergeSec->OutSec.
This was brittle and caused bugs like the one fixed by r304260.
We now have a single Parent pointer that points to an OutputSection
for InputSection, but to a SyntheticSection for merge sections and
.eh_frame. This makes it impossible to accidentally access an invalid
OutSec.

GetSection is a template because write calls relocate.
relocate has two parts. The non alloc code really has to be a
template, as it is looking a raw input file data.
The alloc part is only a template because of getSize.
This patch folds the value of getSize early, detemplates
getRelocTargetVA and splits relocate into a templated non alloc case
and a regular function for the alloc case. This has the nice advantage
of making sure we collect all the information we need for relocations
before getting to InputSection::relocateNonAlloc.
Since we know got is alloc, it can just call the function directly and
avoid the template.

This change adds support for the R_ARM_SBREL32 relocation. The relocation
is a base relative relocation that is produced by clang/llvm when -frwpi
is used. The use case for the -frwpi option is position independent data
for embedded systems that do not have a GOT. With -frwpi all data is
accessed via an offset from a base register (usually r9), where r9 is set
at run time to where the data has been loaded. The base of the data is
known as the static base.
The ARM ABI defines the static base as:
B(S) is the addressing origin of the output segment defining the symbol S.
The origin is not required to be the base address of the segment. For
simplicity we choose to use the base address of the segment.
The ARM procedure call standard only defines a read write variant using
R_ARM_SBREL32 relocations. The read-only data is accessed via pc-relative
offsets from the code, this is implemented in clang as -fropi.

Previously we silently produced broken output for R_386_GOT32X/R_386_GOT32
relocations if they were used to compute the address of the symbol’s global
offset table entry without base register when position-independent code is disabled.
Situation happened because of recent ABI changes. Released ABI mentions that
R_386_GOT32X can be calculated in a two different ways (so we did not follow ABI here
before this patch), but draft ABI also mentions R_386_GOT32 relocation here.
We should use the same calculations for both relocations.
Problem is that we always calculated them as G + A - GOT (offset from end of GOT),
but for case when PIC is disabled, according to i386 ABI calculation should be G + A,
what should produce just an address in GOT finally.

The patch introduces two new relocations expressions R_MIPS_GOT_GP and
R_MIPS_GOT_GP_PC. The first one represents a current value of `_gp`
pointer and used to calculate relocations against the `__gnu_local_gp`
symbol. The second one represents the offset between the beginning of
the function and the `_gp` pointer's value.
There are two motivations for introducing new expressions:
- It's better to keep all non-trivial relocation calculations in the
single place - `getRelocTargetVA` function.
- Relocations against both `_gp_disp` and `__gnu_local_gp` symbols
depend on the `_gp` value. It's a magical value points to the "middle"
of GOT. Now all relocations use a common `_gp` value. But in fact,
under some conditions each input file might require its own `_gp`
value. I'm going to implement it in the future patches. So it's
better to make `MipsGotSection` responsible for calculation of
the `_gp` value.

We had a few Config member functions that returns configuration values.

The list of all input sections was defined in SymbolTable class for a

This is a really horrible case. If a .eh_frame points to a discarded

Unfortunately some consumers of our .o files produced with -r expect
only one section symbol per section. That is true of at least of go's
own linker.
Combining them is a somewhat convoluted process. We have to create a
symbol for every section since we don't know which ones will be
needed. The relocation sections also have to be written first to
handle the Elf_Rel addend.
I did consider a completely different approach:
We could remove the -r special case of relocation sections when
reading. We would instead have a copyRelocs function that is used
instead of scanRelocs. It would create a DynamicReloc for each
relocation and a RelocationSection for each input relocation section.
A complication of such change is that DynamicReloc would have to take
a section index and a input section instead of a symbol since with
-emit-relocs some DynamicReloc would hold relocations referring to the
dynamic symbol table and other to the static symbol table.
That would be a pretty big change, and if we do it it is probably
better to do it as a refactoring.

Uncompressing section contents and spliting mergeable section contents
into smaller chunks are heavy tasks. They scan entire section contents
and do CPU-intensive tasks such as uncompressing zlib-compressed data
or computing a hash value for each section piece.
Luckily, these tasks are independent to each other, so we can do that
in parallel_for_each. The number of input sections is large (as opposed
to the number of output sections), so there's a large parallelism here.
Actually the current design to call uncompress() and splitIntoPieces()
in batch was chosen with doing this in mind. Basically what we need to
do here is to replace `for` with `parallel_for_each`.
It seems this patch improves latency significantly if linked programs
contain debug info (which in turn contain lots of mergeable strings.)

using it in many places, so this patch moves it to a file that fits
to the functionality.

Offset between beginning of a .got section and _gp symbols used in MIPS
GOT relocations calculations. Usually the expression looks like
VA + Offset - GP, where VA is the .got section address, Offset - offset
of the GOT entry, GP - offset between .got and _gp. Also there two "magic"
symbols _gp_disp and __gnu_local_gp which hold the offset mentioned above.
These symbols might be referenced by MIPS relocations.
Now the linker always defines _gp symbol and uses hardcoded value for
its initialization. So offset between .got and _gp is 0x7ff0. The _gp_disp
and __gnu_local_gp defined if required and initialized by 0x7ff0.
In fact that is not correct because _gp symbol might be defined by a linker
script and holds arbitrary value. In that case we need to use this value
in relocation calculation and initialize _gp_disp and __gnu_local_gp
properly.
The patch fixes the problem and completes fixing the bug #30311.

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().

MergeOutputSection class was a bit hard to use because it provdes
a series of finalize functions that have to be called in a right way
at a right time. It also intereacted with MergeInputSection, and the
logic was somewhat entangled between the two classes.
This patch simplifies it by providing only one finalize function.
Now, all you have to do is to call MergeOutputSection::finalize
when you have added all sections to the output section. Then, it
internally merges strings and initliazes StringPiece objects.
I think this is much easier to understand.
This patch also adds comments.

MIPS GOT handling is very different from other targets so it is better
to keep the code in the separatre section class MipsGotSection. This
patch introduces the new section and moves all MIPS specific code from
GotSection to the new class. I did not rename fields and methods in the
MipsGotSection class to reduce the diff and plan to do that by the
separate commit.

Relocations are the last thing that we wore storing a raw section
pointer to and parsing on demand.
With this patch we parse it only once and store a pointer to the
actual data.
The patch also changes where we store it. It is now in
InputSectionBase. Not all sections have relocations, but most do and
this simplifies the logic. It also means that we now only support one
relocation section per section. Given that that constraint is
maintained even with -r with gold bfd and lld, I think it is OK.
