In COFF, duplicate string literals are merged by placing them in a
comdat whose leader symbol name contains a specific prefix followed
by the hash and partial contents of the string literal. This gives
us an easy way to identify sections containing string literals in
the linker: check for leader symbol names with the given prefix.
Any sections that are identified in this way as containing string
literals may be tail merged. We do so using the StringTableBuilder
class, which is also used to tail merge string literals in the ELF
linker. Tail merging is enabled only if ICF is enabled, as this
provides a signal as to whether the user cares about binary size.

This fixes the broken tests that were causing failures. The tests
before were verifying that the time stamp was 0, but now that we
are actually writing a timestamp, I just removed the match against
the timestamp value.
llvm-svn: 327049
Windows tools treats the timestamp fields as sort of a build id,
using it to archive executables on a symbol server, as well as
for matching executables to PDBs. We were writing 0 for these
fields, which would cause symbol servers to break as they are
indexed in the symbol server based on this value.
Although the field is called timestamp, it can really be any
value that is unique per build, so to support reproducible builds
we use a hash of the executable here.

Summary:
This protects calls to longjmp from transferring control to arbitrary
program points. Instead, longjmp calls are limited to the set of
registered setjmp return addresses.
This also implements /guard:nolongjmp to allow users to link in object
files that call setjmp that weren't compiled with /guard:cf. In this
case, the linker will approximate the set of address taken functions,
but it will leave longjmp unprotected.
I used the following program to test, compiling it with different -guard
flags:
$ cl -c t.c -guard:cf
$ lld-link t.obj -guard:cf
#include <setjmp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
jmp_buf buf;
void g() {
printf("before longjmp\n");
fflush(stdout);
longjmp(buf, 1);
}
void f() {
if (setjmp(buf)) {
printf("setjmp returned non-zero\n");
return;
}
g();
}
int main() {
f();
printf("hello world\n");
}
In particular, the program aborts when the code is compiled *without*
-guard:cf and linked with -guard:cf. That indicates that longjmps are
protected.

Patch by Colden Cullen.
Currently, when a large PE (>4 GiB) is to be produced, a crash occurs
because:
1. Calling setOffset with a number greater than UINT32_MAX causes the
PointerToRawData to overflow
2. When adding the symbol table to the end of the file, the last section's
offset was used to calculate file size. Because this had overflowed,
this number was too low, and the file created would not be large enough.
This lead to the actual crash I saw, which was a buffer overrun.
This change:
1. Adds comment to setOffset, clarifying that overflow can occur, but it's
somewhat safe because the error will be handled elsewhere
2. Adds file size check after all output data has been created This matches
the MS link.exe error, which looks prints as: "LINK : fatal error
LNK1248: image size (10000EFC9) exceeds maximum allowable size
(FFFFFFFF)"
3. Changes calculate of the symbol table offset to just use the existing
FileSize. This should match the previous calculations, but doesn't rely
on the use of a u32 that can overflow.
4. Removes trivial usage of a magic number that bugged me while I was
debugging the issue
I'm not sure how to add a test for this outside of adding 4GB of object
files to the repo. If there's an easier way, let me know and I'll be

Previously, our algorithm to compute a build id involved hashing the
executable and storing that as the GUID in the CV Debug Record chunk,
and setting the age to 1.
This breaks down in one very obvious case: a user adds some newlines to
a file, rebuilds, but changes nothing else. This causes new line
information and new file checksums to get written to the PDB, meaning
that the debug info is different, but the generated code would be the
same, so we would write the same build over again with an age of 1.
Anyone using a symbol cache would have a problem now, because the
debugger would open the executable, look at the age and guid, find a
matching PDB in the symbol cache and then load it. It would never copy
the new PDB to the symbol cache.
This patch implements the canonical Windows algorithm for updating
a build id, which is to check the existing executable first, and
re-use an existing GUID while bumping the age if it already
exists.

In order to do this without switching on the symbol kind multiple times,
I created Defined::getChunkAndOffset and use that instead of
SymbolBody::getRVA in the inner relocation loop.
Now we get the symbol's chunk before switching over relocation types, so
we can test if it has been discarded outside the inner relocation type
switch. This also simplifies application of section relative
relocations. Previously we would switch on symbol kind to compute the
RVA, then the relocation type, and then the symbol kind again to get the
output section so we could subtract that from the symbol RVA. Now we
*always* have an OutputSection, so applying SECREL and SECTION
relocations isn't as much of a special case.
I'm still not quite happy with the cleanliness of this code. I'm not
sure what offsets and bases we should be using during the relocation
processing loop: VA, RVA, or OutputSectionOffset.

Summary:
The main change is that we can have SECREL and SECTION relocations
against ___safe_se_handler_table, which is important for handling the
debug info in the MSVCRT.
Previously we were using DefinedRelative for __safe_se_handler_table and
__ImageBase, and after we implement CFGuard, we plan to extend it to
handle __guard_fids_table, __guard_longjmp_table, and more. However,
DefinedRelative is really only suitable for implementing __ImageBase,
because it lacks a Chunk, which you need in order to figure out the
output section index and output section offset when resolving SECREl and
SECTION relocations.
This change renames DefinedRelative to DefinedSynthetic and gives it a
Chunk. One wart is that __ImageBase doesn't have a chunk. It points to
the PE header, effectively. We could split DefinedRelative and
DefinedSynthetic if we think that's cleaner and creates fewer special
cases.
I also added safeseh.s, which checks that we don't emit a safe seh table
entries pointing to garbage collected handlers and that we don't emit a
table at all when there are no handlers.

Summary:
For SECTION relocations against absolute symbols, MSVC emits the largest
output section index plus one. I've implemented that by threading a
global variable through DefinedAbsolute that is filled in by the Writer.
A more library-oriented approach would be to thread the Writer through
Chunk::writeTo and SectionChunk::applyRel*, but Rui seems to prefer
doing it this way.
MSVC rejects SECREL relocations against absolute symbols, but only when
the relocation is in a real output section. When the relocation is in a
CodeView debug info section destined for the PDB, it seems that this
relocation error is suppressed, and absolute symbols become zeros in the
object file. This is easily implemented by checking the input section
from which we're applying relocations.
This should fix errors about __safe_se_handler_table and
__guard_fids_table when linking the CRT and generating a PDB.

This is a different implementation than r303225 (which was reverted

In the previous patch, I tried to add Live bit to each dllimported
symbol. It turned out that it didn't work with "oldnames.lib" which
contains a lot of weak aliases to dllimported symbols.
The way we handle weak aliases is to check if undefined symbols
can be resolved using weak aliases, and if so, memcpy the Defined
symbols to weak Undefined symbols, so that any references to weak
aliases automatically see defined symbols instead of undefined ones.
This memcpy happens before MarkLive kicks in.
That means we may have multiple copies of dllimported symbols. So
turning on one instance's Live bit is not enough.
This patch moves the Live bit to dllimport file. Since multiple
copies of dllsymbols still point to the same file, we can use it as the
central repository to keep track of liveness.

To account for this, guard the memcpy with an appropriate precondition.
This should fix the last UBSan bug, exposed by the test suite, in the
COFF linker.

The load configuration directory is a structure whose size varies as the
OS gains additional functionality. To account for this, the structure's
layout begins with a size field; this allows loaders to know which
fields are available.
However, LLD hard-coded the sizes (112 bytes for 64-bit and 64 for
32-bit). This means that we might not inform the loader of all the
pertinent fields or we might claim that there are more fields than are
actually present.
To correctly account for this, the size field must be loaded from the
_load_config_used symbol.
N.B. The COFF spec is either wrong or out of date, the load
configuration directory is not correctly documented in the
specification: it omits the size field.

The TLS directory has a different layout depending on the bitness of the
machine the image will run on. LLD would always use the 64-bit TLS
directory for the data directory entry instead of an appropriately sized
TLS directory.

This is an LLD extension to MSVC link.exe command line. MSVC linker
does not write symbol tables for executables. We do unless no /debug
option is given.
There's a situation that we want to enable debug info but don't want
to emit the symbol table. One example is when we are comparing output
file size. With this patch, you can tell the linker to not create
a symbol table by just specifying /nosymtab.

Self-hosting took 801 ms on my machine. Of which this function took
69 ms. Now it takes 37 ms. That is about 4% overall performance
improvement.

Basically the concept of "liveness" is for sections (or chunks in LLD
terminology) and not for symbols. Symbols are always available or live,
or otherwise it indicates a link failure.
Previously, we had isLive() and markLive() methods for DefinedSymbol.
They are confusing methods. What they actually did is to act as a proxy
to backing section chunks. We can simplify eliminate these methods
and call section chunk's methods directly.
llvm-svn: 247869
Only live symbols are written to the symbol table. Because isLive()
returned false if dead-stripping was disabled entirely, only
non-COMDAT sections were written to the symbol table. This patch fixes
the issue.
llvm-svn: 247856
This patch fixes a subtle incompatibility with MSVC linker.
MSVC linker preserves the original spelling of a DLL in the
import descriptor table. LLD previously converted all
characters to lowercase. Usually this difference is benign,
but if a program explicitly checks for DLL file names, the
program could fail.
llvm-svn: 246620
There are some DLLs whose initializers depends on other DLLs'
initializers. The initialization order matters for them.
MSVC linker uses the order of the libraries from the command line.
LLD used ASCII-betical order. So they were incompatible.
This patch makes LLD compatible with MSVC.

This is more convenient than the offset from the start of the file as we
don't have to worry about it changing when we move the output section.
This is a port of r245008 from ELF.
llvm-svn: 245018
Sections must start at page boundaries in memory, but they
can be aligned to sector boundaries (512-bytes) on disk.
We aligned them to 4096-byte boundaries even on disk, so we
wasted disk space a bit.
llvm-svn: 244691
This has a few advantages
* Less C++ code (about 300 lines less).
* Less machine code (about 14 KB of text on a linux x86_64 build).
* It is more debugger friendly. Just set a breakpoint on the exit function and
you get the complete lld stack trace of when the error was found.
* It is a more robust API. The errors are handled early and we don't get a
std::error_code hot potato being passed around.
* In most cases the error function in a better position to print diagnostics
(it has more context).

Various parameters are passed implicitly using Config global variable
already. Output file path is no different from others, so there was no
special reason to handle that differnetly.
This patch changes the signature of writeResult(SymbolTable *, StringRef)
to writeResult(SymbolTable *).

I don't remember why I thought that only functions are subject
of garbage collection, but the comment here said so, which is
not correct. Moreover, the code just below the comment does not
do what the comment says -- it handles non-COMDAT, non-function
sections as GC root. As a result, it just handles non-COMDAT
sections as GC root.
This patch cleans that up by removing SectionChunk::isRoot and
use isCOMDAT instead.
llvm-svn: 243700
We want to convince the NT loader not to map these sections into memory.
A good first step is to move them to the end of the executable.

Windows ARM is the thumb ARM environment, and pointers to thumb code
needs to have its LSB set. When we apply relocations, we need to
adjust the LSB if it points to an executable section.
llvm-svn: 243560
SECREL should sets the 32-bit offset of the target from the beginning
of *target's* output section. Previously, the offset from the beginning
of source's output section was used instead.
SECTION means the target section's index, and not the source section's
index. This patch fixes that issue too.
llvm-svn: 243535
Previously, we ignore /merge option if /debug is specified
because I thought that was MSVC linker did. This was wrong.
/merge shouldn't be ignored even in debug mode.
llvm-svn: 243375
On x64 and x86, we use only one base relocation type, so we handled
base relocations just as a list of RVAs. That doesn't work well for
ARM becuase we have to handle two types of base relocations on ARM.
This patch changes the type of base relocation from uint32_t to
{reltype, uint32_t} to make it easy to port this code to ARM.
llvm-svn: 243197
An object file compatible with Safe SEH contains a .sxdata section.
The section contains a list of symbol table indices, each of which
is an exception handler function. A safe SEH-enabled executable
contains a list of exception handler RVAs. So, what the linker has
to do to support Safe SEH is basically to read the .sxdata section,
interpret the contents as a list of symbol indices, unique-fy and
sort their RVAs, and then emit that list to .rdata. This patch
implements that feature.
llvm-svn: 243182
__ImageBase is a special symbol whose value is the image base address.
Previously, we handled __ImageBase symbol as an absolute symbol.
Absolute symbols point to specific locations in memory and the locations
never change even if an image is base-relocated. That means that we
don't have base relocation entries for absolute symbols.
This is not a case for __ImageBase. If an image is base-relocated, its
base address changes, and __ImageBase needs to be shifted as well.
So we have to have base relocations for __ImageBase. That means that
__ImageBase is not really an absolute symbol but a different kind of
symbol.
In this patch, I introduced a new type of symbol -- DefinedRelative.
DefinedRelative is similar to DefinedAbsolute, but it has not a VA but RVA
and is a subject of base relocation. Currently only __ImageBase is of
the new symbol type.
llvm-svn: 243176
Load Configuration field points to a structure containing information
for SEH. That data strucutre is not created by the linker but provided
by an external file. What we have to do is just to set __load_config_used
address to the header.
