This is fixing a thinLTO module collision issue for thin archives. The problem is that we always use a zero offset to name members in a thin archive and that causes the following build error:
ld.lld: error: Expected at most one ThinLTO module per bitcode file
which happens to a thin archive that has two members with the same object file name (whose paths will be ignored by thinLTO driver)
The fix here is to use real member offset instead as is done for non-thin archives.

Similar to D79371, but for `multiclass B` (convenience helper for defining --foo and --no-foo)
Some changed options are also used by gold, but I haven't seen their
one-dash use cases outside of lld's testsuite.
With this change, basic archive files can be linked together. Input
section discovery has been refactored into a function since archive
files lazily resolve their symbols / the object files containing those
symbols.

This paves the way to doing more things in parallel, and allows us to
order type sources in dependency order. PDBs and PCH objects have to be
loaded before object files which use them.
This is a rebase of the unapplied remaining changes in

this across the LLD variable name style change. I recall there was a

Install a cmake config file. Copied exactly from how clang exports.
I also wasn't sure whether the canonical capitalization is "lld" or
"LLD". The project() is still calling this lld, but most places seemed
to capitalize it.
Just skip trying to match for the path separator explicitly (instead
of making it match either a forward or backwards slash), simplifying
the test a little.
Allow disabling either the full auto import feature, or just
forbidding the cases that require runtime fixups.
As long as all auto imported variables are referenced from separate
.refptr$<name> sections, we can alias them on top of the IAT entries
and don't actually need any runtime fixups via pseudo relocations.
LLVM generates references to variables in .refptr stubs, if it
isn't known that the variable for sure is defined in the same object
module. Runtime pseudo relocs are needed if the addresses of auto
imported variables are used in constant initializers though.
Fixing up runtime pseudo relocations requires the use of
VirtualProtect (which is disallowed in WinStore/UWP apps) or
VirtualProtectFromApp. To allow any risk of ambiguity, allow
rejecting cases that would require this at the linker stage.
This adds support for the --disable-runtime-pseudo-reloc and
--disable-auto-import options in the MinGW driver (matching GNU ld.bfd)
with corresponding lld private options in the COFF driver.

Both the .ARM.exidx and .eh_frame sections have a custom SyntheticSection
that acts as a container for the InputSections. The InputSections are added
to the SyntheticSection prior to /DISCARD/ which limits the affect a
/DISCARD/ can have to the whole SyntheticSection. In the majority of cases
this is sufficient as it is not common to discard subsets of the
InputSections. The Linux kernel has one of these scripts which has something
like:
/DISCARD/ : { *(.ARM.exidx.exit.text) *(.ARM.extab.exit.text) ... }
The .ARM.exidx.exit.text are not discarded because the InputSection has been
transferred to the Synthetic Section. The *(.ARM.extab.exit.text) sections
have not so they are discarded. When we come to write out the .ARM.exidx
sections the dangling references from .ARM.exidx.exit.text to
.ARM.extab.exit.text currently cause relocation out of range errors, but
could as easily cause a fatal error message if we check for dangling
references at relocation time.
This patch attempts to respect the /DISCARD/ command by running it on the
.ARM.exidx InputSections stored in the SyntheticSection.
The .eh_frame is in theory affected by this problem, but I don't think that
there is a dangling reference problem that can happen with these sections.

Summary:
This allows us to link against stripped dylibs. Moreover, it's simply
more correct: The symbol table includes symbols that the dylib uses but
doesn't export.
This temporarily regresses our ability to do lazy symbol binding because
dyld_stub_binder isn't in libSystem's export trie. Rather, it is in one
of the sub-libraries libSystem re-exports. (This doesn't affect our
tests since we are mocking out dyld_stub_binder there.) A follow-up diff
will address this by adding support for sub-libraries.

Summary:
This diff implements lazy symbol binding -- very similar to the PLT
mechanism in ELF.
ELF's .plt section is broken up into two sections in Mach-O:
StubsSection and StubHelperSection. Calls to functions in dylibs will
end up calling into StubsSection, which contains indirect jumps to
addresses stored in the LazyPointerSection (the counterpart to ELF's
.plt.got).
Initially, the LazyPointerSection contains addresses that point into one
of the entry points in the middle of the StubHelperSection. The code in
StubHelperSection will push on the stack an offset into the
LazyBindingSection. The push is followed by a jump to the beginning of
the StubHelperSection (similar to PLT0), which then calls into
dyld_stub_binder. dyld_stub_binder is a non-lazily bound symbol, so this
call looks it up in the GOT.
The stub binder will look up the bind opcodes in the LazyBindingSection
at the given offset. The bind opcodes will tell the binder to update the
address in the LazyPointerSection to point to the symbol, so that
subsequent calls don't have to redo the symbol resolution. The binder
will then jump to the resolved symbol.
Depends on D78269.

Summary:
1. Don't have isHidden() depend on isNeeded(). Whether a section is
hidden is orthogonal from whether it is needed: hidden sections will
never have a header regardless of whether they have a body. (I know we
override this method with return false for synthetic sections, but
regardless I think it's confusing to write it this way for non-synthetic
sections.)
2. Don't call writeTo() on unneeded sections. D78270 assumes that this
is true when implementing the stub helper section.
3. Filter out the unneeded sections early on to avoid having to deal
with them in multiple places.
4. Remove assumption in test that the referenced file has no other symbols.
(We should create separate input files for future tests to avoid such
issues.)

Summary:
The WebAssembly backend automatically lowers atomic operations and TLS
to nonatomic operations and non-TLS data when either are present and
the atomics or bulk-memory features are not present, respectively. The
resulting object is no longer thread-safe, so the linker has to be
told not to allow it to be linked into a module with shared
memory. This was previously done by disallowing the 'atomics' feature,
which prevented any objct with its atomic operations or TLS removed
from being linked with any object containing atomics or TLS, and
therefore preventing it from being linked into a module with shared
memory since shared memory requires atomics.
However, as of https://github.com/WebAssembly/threads/issues/144, the
validation rules are relaxed to allow atomic operations to validate
with unshared memories, which makes it perfectly safe to link an
object with stripped atomics and TLS with another object that still
contains TLS and atomics as long as the resulting module has an
unshared memory. To allow this kind of link, this patch disallows a
pseudo-feature 'shared-mem' rather than 'atomics' to communicate to
the linker that the object is not thread-safe. This means that the
'atomics' feature is available to accurately reflect whether or not an
object has atomics enabled.
As a drive-by tweak, this change also requires that bulk-memory be
enabled in addition to atomics in order to use shared memory. This is
because initializing shared memories requires bulk-memory operations.

For sampleFDO, because the optimized build uses profile generated from previous
release, often we couldn't tell a function without profile was truely cold or
just newly created so we had to treat them conservatively and put them in .text
section instead of .text.unlikely. The result was when we persue the best
performance by locking .text.hot and .text in memory, we wasted a lot of memory
to keep cold functions inside. This problem has been largely solved for regular

the case when we use partial profile, we still waste a lot of memory because
of it.
In https://reviews.llvm.org/D62540, we propose to save functions with unknown
hotness information in a special section called ".text.unknown", so that
compiler will treat those functions as luck-warm, but runtime can choose not
to mlock the special section in memory or use other strategy to save memory.
That will solve most of the memory problem even if we use a partial profile.

Essentially takes the lld/Common/Threads.h wrappers and moves them to
the llvm/Support/Paralle.h algorithm header.
The changes are:
- Remove policy parameter, since all clients use `par`.
- Rename the methods to `parallelSort` etc to match LLVM style, since
they are no longer C++17 pstl compatible.
- Move algorithms from llvm::parallel:: to llvm::, since they have
"parallel" in the name and are no longer overloads of the regular
algorithms.
- Add range overloads
- Use the sequential algorithm directly when 1 thread is requested
(skips task grouping)
- Fix the index type of parallelForEachN to size_t. Nobody in LLVM was
using any other parameter, and it made overload resolution hard for
for_each_n(par, 0, foo.size(), ...) because 0 is int, not size_t.
Remove Threads.h and update LLD for that.
This is a prerequisite for parallel public symbol processing in the PDB
library, which is in LLVM.

increase as the OutputSection index increases, so if we base the ordering
