PPC64 maintains a compiler managed got in the .toc section. When accessing a
global variable through got-indirect access, a .toc entry is created for the
variable. The relocation for the got-indirect access will refer to the .toc
section rather than the symbol that is actually accessed. The .toc entry
contains the address of the global variable. We evaluate the offset from
r2 (which is the TOC base) to the address of the toc entry for the global
variable. Currently, the .toc is not near the .got. This causes errors because
the offset from r2 to the toc section is too large. The linker needs to add
all the .toc input sections to the .got output section, merging the compiler
managed got with the linker got. This ensures that the offsets from the TOC
base to the toc entries are not too large.
This patch puts the .toc section right after the .got section.

Summary:
Suppose we visit symbols in this order:
1. weak definition of foo in a lazy object
2. reference of foo
3 (optional). definition of foo
bfd/gold allows 123 but not 12.
Current --warn-backrefs implementation will report both cases as a backward reference. With this change, both 123 (intended) and 12 (unintended) are allowed. The usage of weak definitions usually imply there are also global definitions, so the trade-off is justified.

This CL is to mitigate R_X86_64_PC32 relocation overflow problems for huge binaries that has near 4G allocated sections.
By examining those binaries, there're 2 issues contributes to the problem:
1). huge ".dynsym" and ".dynstr" stands in the way between .rodata and .text
2). _init_array_start/end are placed at 0 if no ".init_array" presents, this causes .text relocation against them become more prone to overflow.
This CL addresses 1st problem (the 2nd will be addressed in another CL.) by assigning a smaller sortrank to .dynsym and .dynstr thus they no longer stand in between.

A non-alloc note section should not have a PT_NOTE program header.
Found while linking ghc (Haskell compiler) with lld on FreeBSD.
ghc emits a .debug-ghc-link-info note section (as the name suggests, it

For this case ld.bfd does not emit a PT_NOTE segment for the
.debug-ghc-link-info section. lld previously emitted a PT_NOTE with

Some MIPS relocations depend on "gp" value. By default, this value has
0x7ff0 offset from a .got section. But relocatable files produced by a
compiler or a linker might redefine this default value and we have to
use it for a calculation of the relocation result. When we generate EXE
or DSO it's trivial. Generating a relocatable output is more difficult
case because the linker does calculate relocations in this case and
cannot store individual "gp" values used by each input object file.
As a workaround we add the "gp" value to the relocation addend.

On PowerPC calls to functions through the plt must be done through a call stub
that is responsible for:
1) Saving the toc pointer to the stack.
2) Loading the target functions address from the plt into both r12 and the
count register.
3) Indirectly branching to the target function.
Previously we have been emitting these call stubs to the .plt section, however
the .plt section should be reserved for the lazy symbol resolution stubs. This
patch moves the call stubs to the text section by moving the implementation from
writePlt to the thunk framework.

Currently, LLD supports ASSERT as a separate command.
We support two forms now.
Assign expression-form: . = ASSERT(0x100)
(old GNU ld required it and some scripts in the wild are still using
something like . = ASSERT((_end - _text <= (512 * 1024 * 1024)), "kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE");
Nowadays above is not a mandatory form and command-like form is commonly used:
ASSERT(<expr>, "text);
The return value of the ASSERT is Dot. That was implemented in D30171.
It looks like (2) is just a short version of (1) then.
GNU ld does *not* list ASSERT as a SECTIONS command:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/SECTIONS.html#SECTIONS
Given above we probably can change ASSERT to be an assignment to Dot.
That makes the rest of the code much simpler. Patch do that.

The fix is to copy Used when replacing the symbol.
Original message:
Do not keep shared symbols created from garbage-collected eliminated DSOs.
If all references to a DSO happen to be weak, and if the DSO is
specified with --as-needed, the DSO is not added to DT_NEEDED.
If that happens, we also need to eliminate shared symbols created
from the DSO. Otherwise, they become dangling references that point
to non-exsitent DSO.
