This is PR36515.
Currenly if we have a script like .debug_info 0 : { *(.debug_info) },
we would not remove this section and keep it in the output.
That does not work, because it is common case for
debug sections to have a zero address expression.
Patch changes behavior so that we remove only sections
that do not use symbols in its expressions.

This fixes pr36475.
I think this code can be simplified a bit, but I would like to check
in the more direct fix if we are in agreement on the direction and
then refactor.
This is not something that bfd does. The issue is not noticed in bfd
because it keeps fewer sections from the linkerscript in the output.
The reasons why it seems reasonable to do this:
- As George noticed, we would still keep the flags if the output
section had both an empty synthetic section and a regular section
- We need an heuristic to find the flags of output sections. Using the
flags of a synthetic section that would have been there seems a
reasonable heuristic.
llvm-svn: 326137
This continues direction started in D43069.
We can keep sections that are explicitly assigned to segment in script.
It helps to simplify code.

If two sections are in the same PT_LOAD, their relatives offsets,
virtual address and physical addresses are all the same.
I initially wanted to have a single global LMAOffset, on the
assumption that every ELF file was in practiced loaded contiguously in
both physical and virtual memory.
Unfortunately that is not the case. The linux kernel has:
LOAD 0x200000 0xffffffff81000000 0x0000000001000000 0xced000 0xced000 R E 0x200000
LOAD 0x1000000 0xffffffff81e00000 0x0000000001e00000 0x15f000 0x15f000 RW 0x200000
LOAD 0x1200000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000001f5f000 0x01b198 0x01b198 RW 0x200000
LOAD 0x137b000 0xffffffff81f7b000 0x0000000001f7b000 0x116000 0x1ec000 RWE 0x200000
The delta for all but the third PT_LOAD is the same:
0xffffffff80000000. I think the 3rd one is a hack for implementing per
cpu data, but we can't break that.
llvm-svn: 323456
This fixes the crash reported at PR36083.
The issue is that we were trying to put all the sections in the same
PT_LOAD and crashing trying to write past the end of the file.
This also adds accounting for used space in LMARegion, without it all
3 PT_LOADs would have the same physical address.
llvm-svn: 323449
When a section placement (AT) command references the section itself,
the physical address of the section in the ELF header was calculated
incorrectly due to alignment happening right after the location

Previously, in r320472, I moved the calculation of section offsets and sizes
for compressed debug sections into maybeCompress, which happens before
assignAddresses, so that the compression had the required information. However,
I failed to take account of relocations that patch such sections. This had two
effects:
1. A race condition existed when a debug section referred to a different debug
section (see PR35788).
2. References to symbols in non-debug sections would be patched incorrectly.
This is because the addresses of such symbols are not calculated until after
assignAddresses (this was a partial regression caused by r320472, but they
could still have been broken before, in the event that a custom layout was used
in a linker script).
assignAddresses does not need to know about the output section size of
non-allocatable sections, because they do not affect the value of Dot. This
means that there is no longer a reason not to support custom layout of
compressed debug sections, as far as I'm aware. These two points allow for
delaying when maybeCompress can be called, removing the need for the loop I
previously added to calculate the section size, and therefore the race
condition. Furthermore, by delaying, we fix the issues of relocations getting
incorrect symbol values, because they have now all been finalized.

Patch by Owen Shaw!
llvm-svn: 321418
The size of an OutputSection is calculated early, to aid handling of compressed
debug sections. However, subsequent to this point, unused synthetic sections are
removed. In the event that an OutputSection, from which such an InputSection is
removed, is still required (e.g. because it has a symbol assignment), and no longer
has any InputSections, dot assignments, or BYTE()-family directives, the size
member is never updated when processing the commands. If the removed InputSection
had a non-zero size (such as a .got.plt section), the section ends up with the
wrong size in the output.
The fix is to reset the OutputSection size prior to processing the linker script
commands relating to that OutputSection. This ensures that the size is correct even
in the above situation.
Additionally, to reduce the risk of developers misusing OutputSection Size and
InputSection OutSecOff, they are set to simply the number of InputSections in an
OutputSection, and the corresponding index respectively. We cannot completely
stop using them, due to SHF_LINK_ORDER sections requiring them.
Compressed debug sections also require the full size. This is now calculated in
maybeCompress for these kinds of sections.

When an output section has no byte commands and has no input sections then it
would be ideal if the type of the section is SHT_NOBITS so that the file can
take up less space. This change sets the default type of of output sections to
SHT_NOBITS instead of SHT_PROGBITS to allow this. This required some minor test
changes (which double as tests for this new behavior) but extend-pt-load.s had
be changed in a non-trivial way. Since it seems to me that the point of the
test is to point out the consequences of how flags are assigned to output
sections that don't have input sections I changed the test to work and still
show how the memsize of the executable segment was changed.

SymbolBody and Symbol were separated classes due to a historical reason.
Symbol used to be a pointer to a SymbolBody, and the relationship
between Symbol and SymbolBody was n:1.
r2681780 changed that. Since that patch, SymbolBody and Symbol are
allocated next to each other to improve memory locality, and they have
1:1 relationship now. So, the separation of Symbol and SymbolBody no
longer makes sense.
This patch merges them into one class. In order to avoid updating too
many places, I chose SymbolBody as a unified name. I'll rename it Symbol
in a follow-up patch.

"/DISCARD/" is a special section name in the linker script to discard

- not assigned and dead (removed), or
- assigned but dead (???)

This is PR34546.
Currently LLD creates output sections even if it has no input sections,
but its command contains an assignment.
Committed code just assigns the same flag that was used in previous
live section.
That does not work sometimes. For example if we have following script:
.ARM.exidx : { *(.ARM.exidx*) }
.foo : { _foo = 0; } }
Then first section has SHF_LINK_ORDER flag. But section foo should not.
That was a reason of crash in OutputSection::finalize(). LLD tried to calculate
Link value, calling front() on empty input sections list.
We should only keep access flags and omit all others when creating such sections.

"Commands" was ambiguous because in the linker script, everything is

ScriptConfiguration was a class to contain parsed results of
linker scripts. LinkerScript is a class to interpret it.
That ditinction was needed because we haven't instantiated
LinkerScript early (because, IIRC, LinkerScript class was a
ELFT template function). So, when we parse linker scripts,
we couldn't directly store the result to a LinkerScript instance.
Now, that limitation is gone. We instantiate LinkerScript
at the very beginning of our main function. We can directly
store parse results to a LinkerScript instance.

When parsing linker scripts, LLD previously started with a '.' value of 0,
regardless of the internal default image base for the target, and regardless of
switches such as --image-base. It seems reasonable to use a different image base
value when using linker scripts and --image-base is specified, since otherwise the
switch has no effect. This change does this, as well as removing unnecessary
initialisation of Dot where it is not used.
The default image base should not be used when processing linker
scripts, because this will change the behaviour for existing linker script users,
and potentially result in invalid output being produced, as a subsequent assignment
to Dot could move the location counter backwards. Instead, we maintain the existing
behaviour of starting from 0 if --image-base is not specified.
