In order to keep track of symbol renaming, we used to have

When we need a copy relocation we create a synthetic SHT_NOBITS
section that contains the right amount of ZI and assign it to either
.bss or .rel.ro.bss as appropriate. This allows the dynamic relocation

dynamic relocation is stored as an offset from the OutputSection. This
has the side effect that we can run assignOffsets() after scanRelocs()
without losing the additional ZI needed for the copy relocations.

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.

There are two ways to set symbol versions. One way is to use symbol
definition file, and the other is to embed version names to symbol
names. In the latter way, symbol name is in the form of `foo@version1`
where `foo` is a real name and `version1` is a version.
We were parsing symbol names in insert(). That seems unnecessarily
too early. We can do it later after we resolve all symbols. Doing it
lazily is a good thing because it makes code easier to read
(because now we have a separate pass to parse symbol names). Also
it could slightly improve performance because if two identical symbols
have versions, we now parse them only once.

Some MIPS relocations used to access GOT entries are able to manipulate
16-bit index. The other ones like R_MIPS_CALL_HI16/LO16 can handle
32-bit indexes. 16-bit relocations are generated by default. The 32-bit
relocations are generated by -mxgot flag passed to compiler. Usually
these relocation are not mixed in the same code but files like crt*.o
contain 16-bit relocations so even if all "user's" code compiled with
-mxgot flag a few 16-bit relocations might come to the linking phase.
Now LLD does not differentiate local GOT entries accessed via a 16-bit
and 32-bit indexes. That might lead to relocation's overflow if 16-bit
entries are allocated to far from the beginning of the GOT.
The patch introduces new "part" of MIPS GOT dedicated to the local GOT
entries accessed by 32-bit relocations. That allows to put local GOT
entries accessed via a 16-bit index first and escape relocation's overflow.

Previously, all input files were owned by the symbol table.
Files were created at various places, such as the Driver, the lazy

All input files were then free'd when the symbol table is freed
which is on program exit.
I think we don't have to transfer ownership just to free all
instance at once on exit.
In this patch, all instances are automatically collected to a
vector and freed on exit. In this way, we no longer have to
use std::unique_ptr.

r275711 for "speedng up symbol version handling" was committed

In the last patch for --trace-symbol, I introduced a new symbol type
PlaceholderKind and store it to SymVector storage. It made all code
that iterates over SymVector to recognize and skip PlaceholderKind
symbols. I found that that's annoying.
In this patch, I removed PlaceholderKind and stop storing them to SymVector.
Now the information whether a symbol is being watched by --trace-symbol
is stored to the Symtab hash table.
llvm-svn: 275747
--trace-symbol is a command line option to watch a symbol.
Previosly, we looked up a hash table for a new symbol if the
option is given. Any code that looks up a hash table for each
symbol is expensive because the linker handles a lot of symbols.
In our design, we look up a hash table strictly only once
for a symbol, so --trace-symbol was an exception.
This patch improves efficiency of the option by merging the
hash table into the symbol table.
Instead of looking up a separate hash table with a string,
this patch sets `Traced` flag to symbols specified by --trace-symbol.
So, if you insert a symbol and get a symbol with `Traced` flag on,
you know that you need to print out a log message for the symbol.
This is nearly zero cost.
llvm-svn: 275716
Versions can be assigned to symbols in two different ways.
One is the usual version scripts, and the other is special
symbol suffix '@'. If a symbol contains '@', the string after
that is considered to specify a version name.
Previously, we look for '@' for all symbols.
Anything that works on every symbol can be expensive because
the linker has to handle a lot of symbols. The search for '@'
was not an exception.
In this patch, I made two optimizations.
The first optimization is to handle '@' only when at least one
version is defined. If no versions are defined, no versions can
be assigned to any symbols, so it's waste of time to search for '@'.
The second optimization is to scan only suffixes of symbol names
instead of entire symbol names. Symbol names can be very long, but
symbol versions are usually short, so scanning entire symbol names
is waste of time, too.
There are some error cases which we no longer be able to detect
with this patch. I don't think it's a major drawback because they
are minor errors. Speed is more important.
This change improves LLD with debug info self-link time from
6.6993 seconds to 6.3426 seconds (or -5.3%).

There are two motivations for this patch. The first one is a preparation
for support MIPS TLS relocations. It might sound like a joke but for GOT
entries related to TLS relocations MIPS ABI uses almost regular approach
with creation of dynamic relocations for each GOT enty etc. But we need
to separate these 'regular' TLS related entries from MIPS specific local
and global parts of GOT. ABI declare simple solution - all TLS related
entries allocated at the end of GOT after local/global parts. The second
motivation it to support GOT relocations for non-preemptible symbols
with addends. If we have more than one GOT relocations against symbol S
with different addends we need to create GOT entries for each unique
Symbol/Addend pairs.
So we store all MIPS GOT entries in separate containers. For non-preemptible
symbols we have to maintain two data structures. The first one is MipsLocal
vector. Each entry corresponds to the GOT entry from the 'local' part
of the GOT contains the symbol's address plus addend. The second one
is MipsLocalMap. It is a map from Symbol/Addend pair to the GOT index.

Weak undefined symbols resolve to the image base. This is a little strange,
but it allows us to link function calls to such symbols. Normally such a
call will be guarded with a comparison, which will load a zero from the GOT.
There's one example of such a function call in crti.o in Linux's CRT.
As part of this change, I also needed to make the synthetic start and end
symbols image base relative in the case where their sections were empty,
so that PC-relative references to those symbols would continue to work.

This patch implements a new design for the symbol table that stores
SymbolBodies within a memory region of the Symbol object. Symbols are mutated
by constructing SymbolBodies in place over existing SymbolBodies, rather
than by mutating pointers. As mentioned in the initial proposal [1], this
memory layout helps reduce the cache miss rate by improving memory locality.
Performance numbers:

With debug info:
scylla 5.695 5.613 (-1.5%)
clang 14.396 14.143 (-1.8%)
Performance counter results show that the fewer required indirections is
indeed the cause of the improved performance. For example, when linking
chrome, stalled cycles decreases from 14,556,444,002 to 12,959,238,310, and
instructions per cycle increases from 0.78 to 0.83. We are also executing
many fewer instructions (15,516,401,933 down to 15,002,434,310), probably
because we spend less time allocating SymbolBodies.
The new mechanism by which symbols are added to the symbol table is by calling
add* functions on the SymbolTable.
In this patch, I handle local symbols by storing them inside "unparented"
SymbolBodies. This is suboptimal, but if we do want to try to avoid allocating
these SymbolBodies, we can probably do that separately.
I also removed a few members from the SymbolBody class that were only being
used to pass information from the input file to the symbol table.
This patch implements the new design for the ELF linker only. I intend to
prepare a similar patch for the COFF linker.

this is unimportant.

The semantics of the -u flag are to load the lazy symbol named by the flag. We
were previously relying on this behavior falling out of symbol resolution
against a synthetic undefined symbol, but that didn't quite give us the
correct behavior, so we needed a flag to mark symbols created with -u so
we could treat them specially in the writer. However, it's simpler and less
error prone to implement the required behavior directly and remove the flag.
This fixes an issue where symbols loaded with -u would receive hidden
visibility even when the definition in an object file had wider visibility.

This remove a fixme, cleans up the weak undef interaction with archives and
lets us keep weak undefs still weak if they resolve to shared.

This patch only implements support for version scripts of the form:
{ [ global: symbol1; symbol2; [...]; symbolN; ] local: *; };
No wildcards are supported, other than for the local entry. Symbol versioning
is also not supported.
It works by introducing a new Symbol flag which tracks whether a symbol
appears in the global section of a version script.
This patch also simplifies the logic in SymbolBody::isPreemptible(), and
teaches it to handle the case where symbols with default visibility in DSOs
do not appear in the dynamic symbol table because of a version script.
Fixes PR27482.

These are properties of a symbol name, rather than a particular instance
of a symbol in an object file. We can simplify the code by collecting these
properties in Symbol.
The MustBeInDynSym flag has been renamed ExportDynamic, as its semantics
have been changed to be the same as those of --dynamic-list and
--export-dynamic-symbol, which do not cause hidden symbols to be exported.

Since there is a copy in every translation unit that uses them, they can
be omitted from the symbol table if the address is not significant.
This still doesn't catch as many cases as the gold plugin. The
difference is that we check canBeOmittedFromSymbolTable in each file and
use lazy loading which limits what it can do. Gold checks it in the merged file.
I think the correct way of getting the same results as gold is just to
cache in the IR the result of canBeOmittedFromSymbolTable.

I noticed that I was looking for the definition of SymPair when hacking
the Writer, only to find that it is just a pair of DefinedRegular symbols.
I don't think it provides more values than the cost of using brainpower
to memorize the type. I didn't roll back r266317, which introduced SymPair,
because the patch removes code repetitions. I ported that change to new
code.

This simplifies the code by allowing us to remove the visibility argument
to functions that create synthetic symbols.
The only functional change is that the visibility of the MIPS "_gp" symbol
is now hidden. Because this symbol is defined in every executable or DSO, it
would be difficult to observe a visibility change here.

start-lib and end-lib are options to link object files in the same
semantics as archive files. If an object is in start-lib and end-lib,
the object is linked only when the file is needed to resolve
undefined symbols. That means, if an object is in start-lib and end-lib,
it behaves as if it were in an archive file.
In this patch, I introduced a new notion, LazyObjectFile. That is
analogous to Archive file type, but that works for a single object
file instead of for an archive file.

We have to differentiate undefined symbols from bitcode and undefined
symbols from other sources.
Undefined symbols from bitcode should not inhibit the symbol being
internalized. Undefined symbols from other sources should.
