LLD's performance on PGO instrumented Windows binaries was still not
great even with the fix in D56955; out of the 2m41s linker runtime,
around 2 minutes were still being spent in ICF. I looked into this more
closely and discovered that the vast majority of the runtime was being
spent segregating .pdata sections with the following relocation chain:
.pdata -> identical .text -> unique PGO counter (not eligible for ICF)
This patch causes us to perform 2 rounds of relocation hash
propagation, which allows the hash for the .pdata sections to
incorporate the identifier from the PGO counter. With that, the amount
of time spent in ICF was reduced to about 2 seconds. I also found that
the same change led to a significant ICF performance improvement in a
regular release build of Chromium's chrome_child.dll, where ICF time
was reduced from around 1s to around 700ms.
With the same change applied to the ELF linker, median of 100 runs
for lld-speed-test/chrome reduced from 4.53s to 4.45s on my machine.
I also experimented with increasing the number of propagation rounds
further, but I did not observe any further significant performance
improvements linking Chromium or Firefox.

It turns out that sections in PGO instrumented object files on Windows
contain a large number of relocations pointing to themselves. With
r347429 this can cause many sections to receive the same hash (usually
zero) as a result of a section's hash being xor'ed with itself.
This patch causes the COFF and ELF linkers to avoid this problem
by adding the hash of the relocated section instead of xor'ing it.
On my machine this causes the regressing test case
provided by Mozilla to terminate in 2m41s.

In PDBs, symbol records must be aligned to four bytes. However, in the
object file, symbol records may not be aligned. MSVC does not pad out
symbol records to make sure they are aligned. That means the linker has
to do extra work to insert the padding. Currently, LLD calculates the
required space with alignment, and copies each record one at a time
while padding them out to the correct size. It has a fast path that
avoids this copy when the records are already aligned.
This change fixes a bug in that codepath so that the copy is actually
saved, and tweaks LLVM's symbol record emission to align symbol records.
Here's how things compare when doing a plain clang Release+PDB build:
- objs are 0.65% bigger (negligible)
- link is 3.3% faster (negligible)
- saves allocating 441MB
- new LLD high water mark is ~1.05GB
llvm-svn: 349431
When calling BinaryStreamArray::drop_front(), if the stream
is skewed it means we must never drop the first bytes of the
stream since offsets which occur in records assume the existence
of those bytes. So if we want to skip the first record in a
stream, then what we really want to do is just set the begin
pointer to the next record. But we shouldn't actually remove
those bytes from the underlying view of the data.

Summary:
This speeds up linking clang.exe/pdb with /DEBUG:GHASH by 31%, from
12.9s to 9.8s.
Symbol records are typically small (16.7 bytes on average), but we
processed them one at a time. CVSymbol is a relatively "large" type. It
wraps an ArrayRef<uint8_t> with a kind an optional 32-bit hash, which we
don't need. Before this change, each DbiModuleDescriptorBuilder would
maintain an array of CVSymbols, and would write them individually with a
BinaryItemStream.
With this change, we now add symbols that happen to appear contiguously
in bulk. For each .debug$S section (roughly one per function), we
allocate two copies, one for relocation, and one for realignment
purposes. For runs of symbols that go in the module stream, which is
most symbols, we now add them as a single ArrayRef<uint8_t>, so the
vector DbiModuleDescriptorBuilder is roughly linear in the number of
.debug$S sections (O(# funcs)) instead of the number of symbol records
(very large).
Some stats on symbol sizes for the curious:
PDB size: 507M
sym bytes: 316,508,016
sym count: 18,954,971
sym byte avg: 16.7
As future work, we may be able to skip copying symbol records in the
linker for realignment purposes if we make LLVM write them aligned into
the object file. We need to double check that such symbol records are
still compatible with link.exe, but if so, it's definitely worth doing,
since my profile shows we spend 500ms in memcpy in the symbol merging
code. We could potentially cut that in half by saving a copy.
Alternatively, we could apply the relocations *after* we iterate the
symbols. This would require some careful re-engineering of the
relocation processing code, though.

GNU ld, which doesn't generate PDBs, can optionally generate a
build id by passing the --build-id option. LLD's MinGW frontend knows
about this option but ignores it, as I had falsely assumed that LLD
already generated build IDs even in those cases.
If debug info is requested and no PDB path is set, generate a
build id signature as a hash of the binary itself. This allows
associating a binary to a minidump, even if debug info isn't
written in PDB form by the linker.

Previously we were taking over 13 minutes to link Firefox's xul.dll
on ARM64; this reduces link time to around 18s on my machine.
The root cause of the problem was that all of the input .pdata sections
had the same unrelocated section data and therefore the same hash,
which made segregation quadratic in the number of .pdata sections. The
reason why we weren't observing this on other architectures was that
ARM has a different .pdata format. On non-ARM the format is (start
address, end address, .xdata), which caused the size of the function
to appear in the unrelocated section data where the end address field
is. However, the ARM format omits the end address field.

---Original Commit Message---
While it doesn't make a *ton* of sense for POSIX paths to be
in PDBs, it's possible to occur in real scenarios involving
cross compilation.
The tools need to be able to handle this, because certain types
of debugging scenarios are possible without a running process
and so don't necessarily require you to be on a Windows system.
These include post-mortem debugging and binary forensics (e.g.
using a debugger to disassemble functions and examine symbols
without running the process).
There's changes in clang, LLD, and lldb in this patch. After
this the cross-platform disassembly and source-list tests pass
on Linux.
Furthermore, the behavior of LLD can now be summarized by a much
simpler rule than before: Unless you specify /pdbsourcepath and
/pdbaltpath, the PDB ends up with paths that are valid within
the context of the machine that the link is performed on.

/pdbsourcepath: was added in https://reviews.llvm.org/D48882 to make it
possible to have relative paths in the debug info that clang-cl writes.
lld-link then makes the paths absolute at link time, which debuggers require.
This way, clang-cl's output is independent of the absolute path of the build
directory, which is useful for cacheability in distcc-like systems.
This patch extends /pdbsourcepath: (if passed) to also be used for:
1. The "cwd" stored in the env block in the pdb is /pdbsourcepath: if present
2. The "exe" stored in the env block in the pdb is made absolute relative
to /pdbsourcepath: instead of the cwd
3. The "pdb" stored in the env block in the pdb is made absolute relative
to /pdbsourcepath: instead of the cwd
4. For making absolute paths to .obj files referenced from the pdb
/pdbsourcepath: is now useful in three scenarios (the first one already working
before this change):
1. When building with full debug info, passing the real build dir to
/pdbsourcepath: allows having clang-cl's output to be independent
of the build directory path. This patch effectively doesn't change
behavior for this use case (assuming the cwd is the build dir).
2. When building without compile-time debug info but linking with /debug,
a fake fixed /pdbsourcepath: can be passed to get symbolized stacks
while making the pdb and exe independent of the current build dir.
For this two work, lld-link needs to be invoked with relative paths for
the lld-link invocation itself (for "exe"), for the pdb output name, the exe
output name (for "pdb"), and the obj input files, and no absolute path
must appear on the link command (for "cmd" in the pdb's env block).
Since no full debug info is present, it doesn't matter that the absolute
path doesn't exist on disk -- we only get symbols in stacks.
3. When building production builds with full debug info that don't have
local changes, and that get source indexed and their pdbs get uploaded
to a symbol server. /pdbsourcepath: again makes the build output independent
of the current directory, and the fixed path passed to /pdbsourcepath: can
be given the source indexing transform so that it gets mapped to a
repository path. This has the same requirements as 2.
This patch also makes it possible to create PDB files containing Windows-style
absolute paths when cross-compiling on a POSIX system.

ld.bfd doesn't do any inference of subsystem; unless the windows
subsystem is specified, the console subsystem is used.
For the console subsystem, the entry point is called mainCRTStartup,
regardless of whether the the user code entry point is main or wmain.
The same goes for the windows subsystem, where the entry point always
is WinMainCRTStartup, for both WinMain and wWinMain in user code.
One detail that we don't emulate, is that if the inferred entry point
is undefined, ld.bfd silently just sets the entry point to the start
of the image. And if an explicit entry point is set, but it is
undefined, the link still succeeds but the linker warns about the
entry point not being found.

Three related changes:
1. link.exe uses the presence of main and wmain to decide if it should call
mainCRTStartup or wmainCRTStartup, even if /nodefaultlib is passed. For
compatibility, remove FindMain logic.
2. Default to the non-wide entrypoint if main is not found. This has two effects:
2a. In normal links, lld-link now prints
lld-link: error: undefined symbol: _main
>>> referenced by f:\dd\vctools\crt\vcstartup\src\startup\exe_common.inl:78
>>> libcmt.lib(exe_main.obj):("int __cdecl invoke_main(void)" (?invoke_main@@YAHXZ))

>>> libcmt.lib(exe_main.obj):("int __cdecl __scrt_common_main_seh(void)" (?__scrt_common_main_seh@@YAHXZ))
instead of
lld-link: error: entry point must be defined
This is arguably a better error message, since it now mentions that _main is
missing. (This matches link.exe's diagnostic in this case.)
2b. With /nodefautlib, we now default to mainCRTStartup if no main() is
present, again matching link.exe. This makes r337407 obsolete.
This means if you have a cc file containing both mainCRTStartup and
wmainCRTStartup and you pass /nodefaultlib /subsystem:console, lld-link will
now call mainCRTStartup, matching link.exe
3. Print a warning if both main and wmain are present, similar to link.exe's
LNK4067.

GNU binutils import libraries aren't the same kind of short import
libraries as link.exe and LLD produce, but are a plain static library
containing .idata section chunks. MSVC link.exe can successfully link
to them.
In order for imports from GNU import libraries to mix properly with the
normal import chunks, the chunks from the existing mechanism needs to
be added into named sections like .idata$2.
These GNU import libraries consist of one header object, a number of
object files, one for each imported function/variable, and one trailer.
Within the import libraries, the object files are ordered alphabetically
in this order. The chunks stemming from these libraries have to be
grouped by what library they originate from and sorted, to make sure
the section chunks for headers and trailers for the lists are ordered
as intended. This is done on all sections named .idata$*, before adding
the synthesized chunks to them.

Previously, lld-link would use a random byte sequence as the PDB GUID. Instead,
use a hash of the PDB file contents.
To not disturb llvm-pdbutil pdb2yaml, the hash generation is an opt-in feature
on InfoStreamBuilder and ldb/COFF/PDB.cpp always sets it.
Since writing the PDB computes this ID which also goes in the exe, the PDB
writing code now must be called before writeBuildId(). writeBuildId() for that
reason is no longer included in the "Code Layout" timer.
Since the PDB GUID is now a function of the PDB contents, the PDB Age is always
set to 1. There was a long comment above loadExistingBuildId (now gone) about
how not changing the GUID and only incrementing the age was important, but
according to the discussion in PR35914 that comment was incorrect.

MinGW uses these kind of list terminator symbols for traversing
the constructor/destructor lists. These list terminators are
actual pointers entries in the lists, with the values 0 and
(uintptr_t)-1 (instead of just symbols pointing to the start/end
of the list).
(This mechanism exists in both the mingw-w64 crt startup code and
in libgcc; normally the mingw-w64 one is used, but a DLL build of
libgcc uses the libgcc one. Therefore it's not trivial to change
the mechanism without lots of cross-project synchronization and
potentially invalidating some combinations of old/new versions
of them.)
When mingw-w64 has been used with lld so far, the CRT startup object
files have so far provided these symbols, ending up with different,
incompatible builds of the CRT startup object files depending on
whether binutils or lld are going to be used.
In order to avoid the need of different configuration of the CRT startup
object files depending on what linker to be used, provide these symbols
in lld instead. (Mingw-w64 checks at build time whether the linker
provides these symbols or not.) This unifies this particular detail
between the two linkers.
This does disallow the use of the very latest lld with older versions
of mingw-w64 (the configure check for the list was added recently;
earlier it simply checked whether the CRT was built with gcc or clang),
and requires rebuilding the mingw-w64 CRT. But the number of users of
lld+mingw still is low enough that such a change should be tolerable,
and unifies this aspect of the toolchains, easing interoperability
between the toolchains for the future.
The actual test for this feature is added in ctors_dtors_priority.s,
but a number of other tests that checked absolute output addresses
are updated.

DBI stream. The case handled by this patch involves copying
records from the .debug$F section of an object file to the "FPO"
stream (or perhaps more aptly, the "Old FPO" stream) in the PDB
file, which is also referred to by the DBI stream.
The formats are largely similar, and the difference is mostly
only visible in masm generated object files, such as some of the
low-level CRT object files like memcpy. MASM doesn't appear to
support writing the DEBUG_S_FRAMEDATA subsection, and instead
just writes these records to the .debug$F section.
Although clang-cl does not emit a .debug$F section ever, lld still
needs to support it so we have good debugging for CRT functions.

- Log the reason for a PDB or precompiled-OBJ load failure
- Properly handle out-of-date PDB or precompiled-OBJ signature by displaying a corresponding error
- Slightly change behavior on PDB failure: any subsequent load attempt from another OBJ would result in the same error message being logged
- Slightly change behavior on PDB failure: retry with filename only if previous error was ENOENT ("no such file or directory")
- Tests: a. for native PDB errors; b. cover all the cases above

Summary:
r338767 updated the COFF and wasm linker SymbolTable code to be
strutured more like the ELF linker's. That inadvertedly changed the
behavior of the COFF linker so that lazy symbols would be marked as
used in regular objects. This change adds an overload of the insert()
function, similar to the ELF linker, which does not perform that
marking.

If the coff timestamp is set to a hash, like lld-link does if /Brepro is
passed, the coff spec suggests that a IMAGE_DEBUG_TYPE_REPRO entry is in the
debug directory. This lets lld-link write such a section.

When building a shared libc++.dll, it pulls in libc++abi.a statically
with the --wholearchive flag. If such a build is done with
--export-all-symbols, it's reasonable to assume that everything
from that library also should be exported with the same rules as normal
local object files, even though we normally avoid autoexporting things
from libc++abi.a in other cases when linking a DLL (user code).

Following D50807, and heading towards D50664, this intermediary change does the following:
1. Upgrade all custom Error types in llvm/trunk/lib/DebugInfo/ to use the new StringError behavior (D50807).
2. Implement std::is_error_code_enum and make_error_code() for DebugInfo error enumerations.
3. Rename GenericError -> PDBError (the file will be renamed in a subsequent commit)
4. Update custom error messages to follow the same formatting: (\w\s*)+\.
5. Keep generic "file not found" (ENOENT) errors as they are in PDB code. Previously, there used to be a custom enumeration for that purpose.
6. Remove a few extraneous LF in log() implementations. Printing LF is a responsability at a higher level, not at the error level.

After fixing up the runtime pseudo relocation, the .refptr.<var>
will be a plain pointer with the same value as the IAT entry itself.
To save a little binary size and reduce the number of runtime pseudo
relocations, redirect references to the IAT entry (via the __imp_<var>
symbol) itself and discard the .refptr.<var> chunk (as long as the
same section chunk doesn't contain anything else than the single
pointer).
As there are now cases for both setting the Live variable to true
and false externally, remove the accessors and setters and just make
the variable public instead.

There's no point in keeping them as separate sections.
This differs from GNU ld, which places .ctors and .dtors content in
.text (implemented by a built-in linker script). But since the content
only is pointers, there's no need to have it executable.
GNU ld also leaves .CRT separate as its own standalone section.
MSVC merges .CRT into .rdata similarly, with a directive embedded in
an object file in msvcrt.lib or libcmt.lib.

Normally, in order to reference exported data symbols from a different
DLL, the declarations need to have the dllimport attribute, in order to
use the __imp_<var> symbol (which contains an address to the actual
variable) instead of the variable itself directly. This isn't an issue
in the same way for functions, since any reference to the function without
the dllimport attribute will end up as a reference to a thunk which loads
the actual target function from the import address table (IAT).
GNU ld, in MinGW environments, supports automatically importing data
symbols from DLLs, even if the references didn't have the appropriate
dllimport attribute. Since the PE/COFF format doesn't support the kind
of relocations that this would require, the MinGW's CRT startup code
has an custom framework of their own for manually fixing the missing
relocations once module is loaded and the target addresses in the IAT
are known.
For this to work, the linker (originall in GNU ld) creates a list of
remaining references needing fixup, which the runtime processes on
startup before handing over control to user code.
While this feature is rather controversial, it's one of the main features
allowing unix style libraries to be used on windows without any extra
porting effort.
Some sort of automatic fixing of data imports is also necessary for the
itanium C++ ABI on windows (as clang implements it right now) for importing
vtable pointers in certain cases, see D43184 for some discussion on that.
The runtime pseudo relocation handler supports 8/16/32/64 bit addresses,
either PC relative references (like IMAGE_REL_*_REL32*) or absolute
references (IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32, IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32,
IMAGE_REL_I386_DIR32). On linking, the relocation is handled as a
relocation against the corresponding IAT slot. For the absolute references,
a normal base relocation is created, to update the embedded address
in case the image is loaded at a different address.
The list of runtime pseudo relocations contains the RVA of the
imported symbol (the IAT slot), the RVA of the location the relocation
should be applied to, and a size of the memory location. When the
relocations are fixed at runtime, the difference between the actual
IAT slot value and the IAT slot address is added to the reference,
doing the right thing for both absolute and relative references.
With this patch alone, things work fine for i386 binaries, and mostly
for x86_64 binaries, with feature parity with GNU ld. Despite this,
there are a few gotchas:
- References to data from within code works fine on both x86 architectures,
since their relocations consist of plain 32 or 64 bit absolute/relative
references. On ARM and AArch64, references to data doesn't consist of
a plain 32 or 64 bit embedded address or offset in the code. On ARMNT,
it's usually a MOVW+MOVT instruction pair represented by a
IMAGE_REL_ARM_MOV32T relocation, each instruction containing 16 bit of
the target address), on AArch64, it's usually an ADRP+ADD/LDR/STR
instruction pair with an even more complex encoding, storing a PC
relative address (with a range of +/- 4 GB). This could theoretically
be remedied by extending the runtime pseudo relocation handler with new
relocation types, to support these instruction encodings. This isn't an
issue for GCC/GNU ld since they don't support windows on ARMNT/AArch64.
- For x86_64, if references in code are encoded as 32 bit PC relative
offsets, the runtime relocation will fail if the target turns out to be
out of range for a 32 bit offset.
- Fixing up the relocations at runtime requires making sections writable
if necessary, with the VirtualProtect function. In Windows Store/UWP apps,
this function is forbidden.
These limitations are addressed by a few later patches in lld and
llvm.

This is a minor follow-up to https://reviews.llvm.org/D49189. On Windows, lld
used to print "lld-link.exe: error: ...". Now it just prints "lld-link: error:

If /subsystem:windows is passed, link.exe only looks for WinMain and wWinMain,
and if /subsystem:console is passed it only looks for main and wmain. lld-link
used to look for all 4 in both cases. This patch makes lld-link match
link.exe's behavior.
This requires that the subsystem is known by the time findDefaultEntry() gets
called. findDefaultEntry() is called before the main link loop, so that the
loop can mark the entry point as undefined. That means inferSubsystem() has to
be called above the main loop as well. This in turn means /subsystem: from
.drectve sections only has an effect on entry point inference for obj files
passed to lld-link directly (and not in obj files found later in .lib files).
link.exe seems to ignore /subsystem: for obj files from lib files completely
(while in lld it's ignored only for entry point detection but it still
overrides /subsystem: flags passed on the command line for the value that gets
written in the output file).
Also, if the subsytem isn't needed (e.g. when only writing a /def: lib file and
not writing a coff file), link.exe doesn't complain if the subsystem isn't
known, so both subsystem and entry point handling should be below the early
return lld has for that case.
Fixes PR36523.

MinGW configurations don't use associative comdats, as GNU ld doesn't
support that. Instead they produce normal comdats named .text$sym,
.xdata$sym and .pdata$sym.
GNU ld doesn't discard any comdats starting with .xdata or .pdata,
even if --gc-sections is used (while it does discard other unreferenced
comdats), regardless of what symbol name is used after the $ separator.
For LLD, treat any such comdat as implicitly associative to the base
symbol. This requires maintaining a map from symbol name to section
number, but that is only maintained when the MinGW flag has been
enabled.

LinkerDriver::inferSubsystem() used to do Symtab->findUnderscore("WinMain"),
but WinMain is stdcall in 32-bit and is hence is called _WinMain@16. Instead,
Symtab->findMangle(mangle("WinMain")) needs to be called.
But since LinkerDriver::inferSubsystem() and LinkerDriver::findDefaultEntry()
both need to call this, introduce a common helper function for this and call it
from both places. (Also call it for "main" for consistency, even though
findUnderscore() is enough for main since that's __cdecl on 32-bit).
This also exposed a bug for /nodefaultlib entrypoint inference: The code here
called findMangle(Sym) instead of findMangle(mangle(Sym)), again doing the
wrong thing on 32-bit. Fix that too.
While here, make Driver::mangle() a static free function.

This was useful for LTO bringup in lld-link while lld couldn't write PDBs. Now
that it can, this should no longer be needed. Hopefully the flag is obscure
