While the value of the CIE pointer field in a DWARF FDE record is
an offset to the corresponding CIE record from the beginning of
the section, for EH FDE records it is relative to the current offset.
Previously, we did not make that distinction when dumped both kinds
of FDE records and just printed the same value for the CIE pointer
field and the CIE offset; that was acceptable for DWARF FDEs but was
wrong for EH FDEs.
This patch fixes the issue by explicitly printing the offset of the

* max_input_align: the maximum of input section alignments
This patch changes the following two cases to match GNU ld:
* When ALIGN is present, GNU ld sets output sh_addr to alignExpr, while lld use max(alignExpr, max_input_align)
* When addrExpr is specified but alignExpr is not, GNU ld sets output sh_addr to addrExpr, while lld uses `advance(0, max_input_align)`
Note, sh_addralign is still set to max(alignExpr, max_input_align).
lma-align.test is enhanced a bit to check we don't overalign sh_addr.
fixSectionAlignments() sets addrExpr but not alignExpr for the `!hasSectionsCommand` case.

Summary:
This option causes lld to shuffle sections by assigning different
priorities in each run.
The use case for this is to introduce randomization in benchmarks. The
idea is inspired by the paper "Producing Wrong Data Without Doing
Anything Obviously Wrong!"
(https://www.inf.usi.ch/faculty/hauswirth/publications/asplos09.pdf). Unlike
the paper, we shuffle individual sections, not just input files.
Doing this in lld is particularly convenient as the --reproduce option
makes it easy to collect all the necessary bits for relinking the
program being benchmarked. Once that it is done, all that is needed is
to add --shuffle-sections=0 to the response file and relink before each
run of the benchmark.

The goal of this patch is to maximize CPU utilization on multi-socket or high core count systems, so that parallel computations such as LLD/ThinLTO can use all hardware threads in the system. Before this patch, on Windows, a maximum of 64 hardware threads could be used at most, in some cases dispatched only on one CPU socket.
== Background ==
Windows doesn't have a flat cpu_set_t like Linux. Instead, it projects hardware CPUs (or NUMA nodes) to applications through a concept of "processor groups". A "processor" is the smallest unit of execution on a CPU, that is, an hyper-thread if SMT is active; a core otherwise. There's a limit of 32-bit processors on older 32-bit versions of Windows, which later was raised to 64-processors with 64-bit versions of Windows. This limit comes from the affinity mask, which historically is represented by the sizeof(void*). Consequently, the concept of "processor groups" was introduced for dealing with systems with more than 64 hyper-threads.
By default, the Windows OS assigns only one "processor group" to each starting application, in a round-robin manner. If the application wants to use more processors, it needs to programmatically enable it, by assigning threads to other "processor groups". This also means that affinity cannot cross "processor group" boundaries; one can only specify a "preferred" group on start-up, but the application is free to allocate more groups if it wants to.
This creates a peculiar situation, where newer CPUs like the AMD EPYC 7702P (64-cores, 128-hyperthreads) are projected by the OS as two (2) "processor groups". This means that by default, an application can only use half of the cores. This situation could only get worse in the years to come, as dies with more cores will appear on the market.
== The problem ==
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() API was introduced so that only *one hardware thread per core* was used. Once that API returns, that original intention is lost, only the number of threads is retained. Consider a situation, on Windows, where the system has 2 CPU sockets, 18 cores each, each core having 2 hyper-threads, for a total of 72 hyper-threads. Both heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() and hardware_concurrency() currently return 36, because on Windows they are simply wrappers over std:🧵:hardware_concurrency() -- which can only return processors from the current "processor group".
== The changes in this patch ==
To solve this situation, we capture (and retain) the initial intention until the point of usage, through a new ThreadPoolStrategy class. The number of threads to use is deferred as late as possible, until the moment where the std::threads are created (ThreadPool in the case of ThinLTO).
When using hardware_concurrency(), setting ThreadCount to 0 now means to use all the possible hardware CPU (SMT) threads. Providing a ThreadCount above to the maximum number of threads will have no effect, the maximum will be used instead.
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() is similar to hardware_concurrency(), except that only one thread per hardware *core* will be used.
When LLVM_ENABLE_THREADS is OFF, the threading APIs will always return 1, to ensure any caller loops will be exercised at least once.

Recommit of 0b4a047bfb
(reverted in c29003813a) to incorporate
subsequent fix and add a warning when LLD's interworking behavior has
changed.
D73474 disabled the generation of interworking thunks for branch
relocations to non STT_FUNC symbols. This patch handles the case of BL and
BLX instructions to non STT_FUNC symbols. LLD would normally look at the
state of the caller and the callee and write a BL if the states are the
same and a BLX if the states are different.
This patch disables BL/BLX substitution when the destination symbol does
not have type STT_FUNC. This brings our behavior in line with GNU ld which
may prevent difficult to diagnose runtime errors when switching to lld.
This change does change how LLD handles interworking of symbols that do not
have type STT_FUNC from previous versions including the 10.0 release. This
brings LLD in line with ld.bfd but there may be programs that have not been
linked with ld.bfd that depend on LLD's previous behavior. We emit a warning
when the behavior changes.
A summary of the difference between 10.0 and 11.0 is that for symbols
that do not have a type of STT_FUNC LLD will not change a BL to a BLX or
vice versa. The table below enumerates the changes
| relocation | STT_FUNC | bit(0) | in | 10.0- out | 11.0+ out |
| R_ARM_CALL | no | 1 | BL | BLX | BL |
| R_ARM_CALL | no | 0 | BLX | BL | BLX |
| R_ARM_THM_CALL | no | 1 | BLX | BL | BLX |

We do not keep the actual value of the CIE ID field, because it is
predefined, and use a constant when dumping a CIE record. The issue
was that the predefined value is different for .debug_frame and

to .debug_frame. The patch fixes that by choosing an appropriate
constant to print.

D43468+D44380 added INSERT [AFTER|BEFORE] for non-orphan sections. This patch
makes INSERT work for orphan sections as well.
`SECTIONS {...} INSERT [AFTER|BEFORE] .foo` does not set `hasSectionCommands`, so the result
will be similar to a regular link without a linker script. The differences when `hasSectionCommands` is set include:
* image base is different
* -z noseparate-code/-z noseparate-loadable-segments are unavailable
* some special symbols such as `_end _etext _edata` are not defined
The behavior is similar to GNU ld:
INSERT is not considered an external linker script.
This feature makes the section layout more flexible. It can be used to:
* Place .nv_fatbin before other readonly SHT_PROGBITS sections to mitigate relocation overflows.
* Disturb the layout to expose address sensitive application bugs.

GNU ld has a counterintuitive lang_propagate_lma_regions rule.
```
// .foo's LMA region is propagated to .bar because their VMA region is the same,
// and .bar does not have an explicit output section address (addr_tree).
.foo : { *(.foo) } >RAM AT> FLASH
.bar : { *(.bar) } >RAM
// An explicit output section address disables propagation.
.foo : { *(.foo) } >RAM AT> FLASH
.bar . : { *(.bar) } >RAM
```
In both cases, lld thinks .foo's LMA region is propagated and
places .bar in the same PT_LOAD, so lld diverges from GNU ld w.r.t. the
second case (lma-align.test).
This patch changes Writer<ELFT>::createPhdrs to disable propagation
(start a new PT_LOAD). A user of the first case can make linker scripts
portable by explicitly specifying `AT>`. By contrast, there was no
workaround for the old behavior.
This change uncovers another LMA related bug in assignOffsets() where
`ctx->lmaOffset = 0;` was omitted. It caused a spurious "load address
range overlaps" error for at2.test
The new PT_LOAD rule is complex. For convenience, I listed the origins of some subexpressions:
* rL323449: `sec->memRegion == load->firstSec->memRegion`; linkerscript/at3.test
* D43284: `load->lastSec == Out::programHeaders` (don't start a new PT_LOAD after program headers); linkerscript/at4.test
* D58892: `sec != relroEnd` (start a new PT_LOAD after PT_GNU_RELRO)

There are issues to be investigated for polly bots and bots turning on
EXPENSIVE_CHECKS.
This can happen if lto::LTO::getRuntimeLibcallSymbols doesn't return
an complete/accurate list of libcalls. In this case new bitcode
object can be linked in after LTO.
For example the WebAssembly backend currently calls:
setLibcallName(RTLIB::FPROUND_F32_F16, "__truncsfhf2");
But `__truncsfhf2` is not part of `getRuntimeLibcallSymbols` so if
this symbol is generated during LTO the link will currently fail.
Without this change the linker crashes because the bitcode symbol
makes it all the way to the output phase.
