`ld.lld -shared --wrap=fcntl a.o b.o` has an `R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT` referencing
the index 0 undefined symbol, which will cause a glibc `symbol lookup error` at
runtime. This is because `__wrap_fcntl` is not in .dynsym
We use an approximation `!wrap->isUndefined()`, which doesn't set
`isUsedInRegularObj` of `__wrap_fcntl` when `fcntl` is referenced and
`__wrap_fcntl` is undefined.
Fix this by using `sym->referenced`.
If an object file has an undefined foo@v1, we emit a dynamic symbol foo.
This is incorrect if at runtime a shared object provides the non-default version foo@v1
(the undefined foo may bind to foo@@v2, for example).
GNU ld issues an error for this case, even if foo@v1 is undefined weak
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3351). This behavior makes
sense because to represent an undefined foo@v1, we have to construct a Verneed
entry. However, without knowing the defining filename, we cannot construct a
Verneed entry (Verneed::vn_file is unavailable).
This patch implements the error.

The symbol resolution rules for versioned symbols are:
* foo@@v1 (default version) resolves both undefined foo and foo@v1
* foo@v1 (non-default version) resolves undefined foo@v1
Note, foo@@v1 must be defined (the assembler errors if attempting to
create an undefined foo@@v1).
For defined foo@@v1 in a shared object, we call `SymbolTable::addSymbol` twice,
one for foo and the other for foo@v1. We don't do the same for object files, so
foo@@v1 defined in one object file incorrectly does not resolve a foo@v1
reference in another object file.
This patch fixes the issue by reusing the --wrap code to redirect symbols in
object files. This has to be done after processing input files because
foo and foo@v1 are two separate symbols if we haven't seen foo@@v1.
Add a helper `Symbol::getVersionSuffix` to retrieve the optional trailing
`@...` or `@@...` from the possibly truncated symbol name.

For a diagnostic `A refers to B` where B refers to a bitcode file, if the

Save the reference InputFile * in the DenseMap so that the original filename is

When discarding local symbols with --discard-all or --discard-locals,
the ones which are used in relocations should be preserved. LLD used
the simplest approach and just ignored those switches when -r or

D13550 added the diagnostic to address/work around a crash.
The rule was refined by D19836 (test/ELF/tls-archive.s) to exclude Lazy symbols.
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45598 reported another case where the current logic has a false positive:
Bitcode does not record undefined module-level inline assembly symbols
(`IRSymtab.cpp:Builder::addSymbol`). Such an undefined symbol does not
have the FB_tls bit and lld will not consider it STT_TLS. When the symbol is
later replaced by a STT_TLS Defined, lld will error "TLS attribute mismatch".
This patch fixes this false positive by allowing a STT_NOTYPE undefined
symbol to be replaced by a STT_TLS.
Considered alternative:
Moving the diagnostics to scanRelocs() can improve the diagnostics (PR36049)
but that requires a fair amount of refactoring. We will need more
RelExpr members. It requires more thoughts whether it is worthwhile.
See `test/ELF/tls-mismatch.s` for behavior differences. We will fail to
diagnose a likely runtime bug (STT_NOTYPE non-TLS relocation referencing
a TLS definition). This is probably acceptable because compiler
generated code sets symbol types properly.

This is an alternative design to D77512.
D45195 added --warn-backrefs to detect
* A. certain input orders which GNU ld either errors ("undefined reference")
or has different resolution semantics
* B. (byproduct) some latent multiple definition problems (-ldef1 -lref -ldef2) which I
call "linking sandwich problems". def2 may or may not be the same as def1.
When an archive appears more than once (-ldef -lref -ldef), lld and GNU
ld may have the same resolution but --warn-backrefs may warn. This is
not uncommon. For example, currently lld itself has such a problem:
```
liblldCommon.a liblldCOFF.a ... liblldCommon.a
_ZN3lld10DWARFCache13getDILineInfoEmm in liblldCOFF.a refers to liblldCommon.a(DWARF.cpp.o)
libLLVMSupport.a also appears twice and has a similar warning
```
glibc has such problems. It is somewhat destined because of its separate
libc/libpthread/... and arbitrary grouping. The situation is getting
improved over time but I have seen:
```
-lc __isnanl references -lm
-lc _IO_funlockfile references -lpthread
```
There are also various issues in interaction with other runtime
libraries such as libgcc_eh and libunwind:
```
-lc __gcc_personality_v0 references -lgcc_eh
-lpthread __gcc_personality_v0 references -lgcc_eh
-lpthread _Unwind_GetCFA references -lunwind
```
These problems are actually benign. We want --warn-backrefs to focus on
its main task A and defer task B (which is also useful) to a more
specific future feature (see gold --detect-odr-violations and
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43110).
Instead of warning immediately, we store the message and only report it
if no subsequent lazy definition exists.

2) If -shared or --export-dynamic is specified, any symbol in an object file/bitcode sets this property, unless suppressed by canBeOmittedFromSymbolTable().

It can be argued that in both cases, the binding of the undefined foo

--allow-shlib-undefined doesn't suppress errors (3,4,5), but -shared or

If %t2.so has DT_NEEDED entries, ld.bfd will load them (lld/gold don't
have the behavior). If one of the DSO defines foo and it is in the
link-time search path (e.g. DT_NEEDED entry is an absolute path, via
-rpath=, via -rpath-link=, etc),
`ld.bfd %t1.o %t2.so` and `ld.bfd %t1.o %t2.so` will not error.

post-processing; you can generate the same patch by re-running the tool against
lld's code base.
Here is the main discussion thread to change the LLVM coding style:

In the discussion thread, I proposed we use lld as a testbed for variable
naming scheme change, and this patch does that.
I chose to rename variables so that they are in camelCase, just because that
is a minimal change to make variables to start with a lowercase letter.
Note to downstream patch maintainers: if you are maintaining a downstream lld
repo, just rebasing ahead of this commit would cause massive merge conflicts
because this patch essentially changes every line in the lld subdirectory. But
there's a remedy.
clang-llvm-rename tool is a batch tool, so you can rename variables in your
downstream repo with the tool. Given that, here is how to rebase your repo to
a commit after the mass renaming:
1. rebase to the commit just before the mass variable renaming,
2. apply the tool to your downstream repo to mass-rename variables locally, and
3. rebase again to the head.
Most changes made by the tool should be identical for a downstream repo and
for the head, so at the step 3, almost all changes should be merged and
disappear. I'd expect that there would be some lines that you need to merge by
hand, but that shouldn't be too many.

Binding = Other.Binding;

This is the last patch of the series of patches to make it possible to
resolve symbols without asking SymbolTable to do so.
The main point of this patch is the introduction of
`elf::resolveSymbol(Symbol *Old, Symbol *New)`. That function resolves
or merges given symbols by examining symbol types and call
replaceSymbol (which memcpy's New to Old) if necessary.
With the new function, we have now separated symbol resolution from
symbol lookup. If you already have a Symbol pointer, you can directly
resolve the symbol without asking SymbolTable to do that.
Now that the nice abstraction become available, I can start working on
performance improvement of the linker. As a starter, I'm thinking of
making --{start,end}-lib faster.
--{start,end}-lib is currently unnecessarily slow because it looks up
the symbol table twice for each symbol.
- The first hash table lookup/insertion occurs when we instantiate a
LazyObject file to insert LazyObject symbols.
- The second hash table lookup/insertion occurs when we create an
ObjFile from LazyObject file. That overwrites LazyObject symbols
with Defined symbols.
I think it is not too hard to see how we can now eliminate the second
hash table lookup. We can keep LazyObject symbols in Step 1, and then
call elf::resolveSymbol() to do Step 2.

SymbolTable's add-family functions have lots of parameters because
when they have to create a new symbol, they forward given arguments

many arguments as their corresponding constructors.
This patch simplifies the add-family functions. Now, the functions
take a symbol instead of arguments to construct a symbol. If there's
no existing symbol, a given symbol is memcpy'ed to the symbol table.
Otherwise, the functions attempt to merge the existing and a given
new symbol.
I also eliminated `CanOmitFromDynSym` parameter, so that the functions
take really one argument.
Symbol classes are trivially constructible, so looks like constructing

On PowerPC64, when a function call offset is too large to encode in a call
instruction the address is stored in a table in the data segment. A thunk is
used to load the branch target address from the table relative to the
TOC-pointer and indirectly branch to the callee. When linking position-dependent
code the addresses are stored directly in the table, for position-independent
code the table is allocated and filled in at load time by the dynamic linker.
For position-independent code the branch targets could have gone in the .got.plt
but using the .branch_lt section for both position dependent and position

the same contents. This works in most cases but doesn't when the relocation
processor sets some flags in the symbol. memcpy'ed symbols are just
aliases, so they always have to have the same contents, but the
relocation processor breaks that assumption.
r336609 is an attempt to fix the issue by memcpy'ing again after
processing relocations, so that symbols that are out of sync get the
same contents again. That works in most cases as well, but it breaks
ASan build in a mysterious way.
We could probably fix the issue by choosing symbol attributes that need
to be copied after they are updated. But it feels too complicated to me.
So, in this patch, I fixed it once and for all. With this patch, we no
longer memcpy symbols. All references to renamed symbols point to new
symbols after wrapSymbols() is done.
