In GNU ld, -dc only affects -r links and causes COMMON symbols to be allocated.
--no-define-common is defined to make COMMON symbols undefined for -shared.
AIUI --no-define-common is a workaround around glibc 2.1 time and not really useful.
gold confuses --define-common with -d/FORCE_COMMON_ALLOCATION and implements
--define-common with -d semantics. Its --no-define-common is incompatible with
GNU ld.
In ld.lld, b2a23cf3c0 fixed the default -r
behavior for COMMON symbols but ported the incompatible gold
--[no-]define-common. To the best of my knowledge, no project uses -dp
--[no-]define-common. So just remove these options.
-d/-dc are used by the following projects:
* grub grub-core/genmod.sh.in uses -Wl,-r,-d (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2022-02/msg00088.html)
* FreeBSD crunchgen uses -Wl,-dc (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D34215)
A no-op implementation works for them. Only when a program inspects relocatable
output by itself and does not recognize COMMON symbols, there may be a problem.
This is an extremely unlikely case.

Before C++17, the function object is evaluated in a unspecified order. In the following example: https://godbolt.org/z/8ao4vdsr7 the function object is either evaluated before or after the arguments, depending on the compiler. With MSVC and /std:c++14 the function object is evaluated after the arguments; with clang and gcc, it is evaluated before. With C++17, the function object is guaranteed to be evaluated before the arguments, see: https://riptutorial.com/cplusplus/example/19369/evaluation-order-of-function-arguments
In our case, the issue was that the `args` conversion to `ArrayRef` was evaluated before the lambda call `link`, which internally was calling `parseFlavor()`, which in turned modified `args`. We ended with an `ArrayRef` argument that reflected the previous contents of `args`.
Add coverage for `-flavor` which we didn't have before.

For -no-pie/-pie, when `__real_foo` is interposable in a shared object, `foo` is
exported. This rule does not match GNU ld and is unneeded because:
* the exported `foo` does not interpose `__real_foo` at run-time
* the similar `__wrap_foo` <-> `foo` relation does not have the rule
A STV_PROTECTED shared definition does not set exportDynamic of a defined
symbol. This is on the basis that a protected definition cannot be preempted so
the export is unnecessary. However, the condition is imperfect because we don't
know whether the shared object was built with a symbolic option. Since dropping
the condition simplifies code and matches GNU ld, let's do it.
There's a couple of motivations here:
* LLD 12 (which I was originally testing with) was adding an undefined
symbol to the symbol table if you attempted to wrap an unreferenced
lazy symbol, which would later break `--no-allow-shlib-undefined`. LLD
on main actually produces a weak undefined symbol, so this doesn't
break anyway, but it's cleaner to not have the weak undefined symbol
as well. The new behavior also matches bfd and gold.
* PROVIDE in a linker script referencing a wrapped symbol would think
that an otherwise-unreferenced lazy symbol which was wrapped was
actually referenced, and therefore proceed with the definition, which
goes against expectations. The new behavior also matches bfd and gold.

Earlier in LLD's evolution, I tried to create the illusion that
subsections were indistinguishable from "top-level" sections. Thus, even
though the subsections shared many common field values, I hid those
common values away in a private Shared struct (see D105305). More
recently, however, @gkm added a public `Section` struct in D113241 that
served as an explicit way to store values that are common to an entire
set of subsections (aka InputSections). Now that we have another "common
value" struct, `Shared` has been rendered redundant. All its fields can
be moved into `Section` instead, and the pointer to `Shared` can be replaced
with a pointer to `Section`.
This `Section` pointer also has the advantage of letting us inspect other
subsections easily, simplifying the implementation of {D118798}.
P.S. I do think that having both `Section` and `InputSection` makes for
a slightly confusing naming scheme. I considered renaming `InputSection`
to `Subsection`, but that would break the symmetry with `OutputSection`.
It would also make us deviate from LLD-ELF's naming scheme.

In start-end.s there is a lit check line `# SEG: _main` to begin the

mangling for C main. Because the text file that FileCheck is getting as

llvm-objdump, and because of the lack of a trailing colon in this check
line we end up inadvertently matching against the line of text with the
compiler path in it in the case where said path contains "_main" some

"_main" in it.
To fix this I include the training : since that will match on the

When linking a Debug build clang (265MiB SHF_ALLOC sections, 920MiB uncompressed
debug info), in a --threads=1 link "Compress debug sections" takes 2/3 time and
in a --threads=8 link "Compress debug sections" takes ~70% time.
This patch splits a section into 1MiB shards and calls zlib `deflake` parallelly.
DEFLATE blocks are a bit sequence. We need to ensure every shard starts
at a byte boundary for concatenation. We use Z_SYNC_FLUSH for all shards
but the last to flush the output to a byte boundary. (Z_FULL_FLUSH can
be used as well, but Z_FULL_FLUSH clears the hash table which just
wastes time.)
The last block requires the BFINAL flag. We call deflate with Z_FINISH
to set the flag as well as flush the output to a byte boundary. Under
the hood, all of Z_SYNC_FLUSH, Z_FULL_FLUSH, and Z_FINISH emit a
non-compressed block (called stored block in zlib). RFC1951 says "Any
bits of input up to the next byte boundary are ignored."
In a --threads=8 link, "Compress debug sections" is 5.7x as fast and the total
speed is 2.54x. Because the hash table for one shard is not shared with the next
shard, the output is slightly larger. Better compression ratio can be achieved
by preloading the window size from the previous shard as dictionary
(`deflateSetDictionary`), but that is overkill.

* we can compress a debug section larger than 4GiB

--start-lib and --end-lib are positional, unlike usual ld64 options.
I think the slight drawback does not matter as (a) reusing option names
make build systems convenient (b) `--start-lib a.o b.o --end-lib` conveys more

When an archive with an empty index contains only bitcode files, it is
handled as a group of lazy (--start-lib) object files. If there is a
non-bitcode file, there will be a diagnostic a la GNU ld.
For some programs, the archive member extraction ratio is high (e.g. for chrome,
79% archive members are extracted according to --print-archive-stats=). Because
symbol interning is cached for ObjFile::parseLazy but not for ArchiveFile,
parsing an archive as a group of --start-lib object files may be faster.
If the linker speculatively creates section representations for archive members,
the archive index will not be used.
If we take the above view, the archive index is essentially useless. If a user
wants a fast build without using --start-lib, they may just build thin archives
without index (`ar rcS --thin`).
Therefore, I suggest that we no longer treat the code as a hack, instead as a
supported feature. I believe we will do this anyway if we add parallel symbol
interning (parallel symbol interning for lazy object files is simpler than that
for archives).
Ecosystem issues:
* parseLazy actually has nearly the same behavior as ArchiveFile::parse, but the symbol order may be different.
* users may get addicted to the behavior and build archives not working with GNU ld and gold. I think it is easy to rebuild archives to be compatible.

D46245 added support for this in llvm-libtool, but while lld-link can
also create .lib files from .def files it didn't support aliases.
I compared the Inputs/library.def test against the output from
llvm-libtool and it matches, except for the fact that lld-link reorders
functions for some reason.
I have also verified that this fixes a bug I was running into while
trying to compile .def files to .lib files in MinGW-w64 (using lld-link
instead of llvm-libtool).

This simplifies the code a bit. While here,
* change the `multiple relocation sections` diagnostic from `fatal` to `error` and include the relocated section name.
* drop less useful name from `getRelocTarget`. Without -r/--emit-relocs we don't need to get SHT_REL/SHT_RELA names.
It's still uncertain but whether we want to have `deduplicate-literals` be the
default flag for LLD out of the box or not. If `deduplicate-literals` is the default
behavior, then we will need a way override it and not deduplicate. Luckily, we
have `no_deduplicate` to fill this gap. For now, I've set the default to be false
which aligns with the existing behavior. That can only always be changed after
discussions on D117250.

We already perform memory initialization and apply global relocations
during start. It makes sense to performs data relocations too. I think
the reason we were not doing this already is solely historical.

After the D33630 fallout was properly fixed by a4c5db30be.
Tested by D37462/D44986 tests, the new --no-rosegment test in build-id.s, and a few --rosegment/--no-rosegment programs.
