Currently when we build input sections list in linker script

I think this code can be simplified a bit, but I would like to check
in the more direct fix if we are in agreement on the direction and
then refactor.
This is not something that bfd does. The issue is not noticed in bfd
because it keeps fewer sections from the linkerscript in the output.
The reasons why it seems reasonable to do this:
- As George noticed, we would still keep the flags if the output
section had both an empty synthetic section and a regular section
- We need an heuristic to find the flags of output sections. Using the
flags of a synthetic section that would have been there seems a
reasonable heuristic.
llvm-svn: 326137
This continues direction started in D43069.
We can keep sections that are explicitly assigned to segment in script.

This responds to PR36475,
r325763 led to unexprected layout change, though
new behavior seems to be more correct.
Previously we could have following script:
.foo : { *(.foo) }
.bar : { *(.synthetic_empty) BYTE(0x11) }}
where synthetic_empty is a synthetic section which is empty and
hence removed by linker.
Before r325763 .bar would receive section flags from .synthetic_empty,
but after this revision it receives flags the same as .foo section has.
It is the same as if there would not be any synthetic_empty section in a script,
so looks reasonable and consistent behavior:
.foo : { *(.foo) }
.bar : { BYTE(0x11) }}

tracked down to overlapping sections in the resulting binary. When linking
with ld.bfd overlapping output sections are an error unless
--noinhibit-exec is passed and I believe lld should behave the same way

Previously, in r320472, I moved the calculation of section offsets and sizes
for compressed debug sections into maybeCompress, which happens before
assignAddresses, so that the compression had the required information. However,
I failed to take account of relocations that patch such sections. This had two
effects:
1. A race condition existed when a debug section referred to a different debug
section (see PR35788).
2. References to symbols in non-debug sections would be patched incorrectly.
This is because the addresses of such symbols are not calculated until after
assignAddresses (this was a partial regression caused by r320472, but they
could still have been broken before, in the event that a custom layout was used
in a linker script).
assignAddresses does not need to know about the output section size of
non-allocatable sections, because they do not affect the value of Dot. This
means that there is no longer a reason not to support custom layout of
compressed debug sections, as far as I'm aware. These two points allow for
delaying when maybeCompress can be called, removing the need for the loop I
previously added to calculate the section size, and therefore the race
condition. Furthermore, by delaying, we fix the issues of relocations getting
incorrect symbol values, because they have now all been finalized.
llvm-svn: 321986
We normally want to ignore SHT_NOBITS sections when computing
offsets. The sh_offset of section itself seems to be irrelevant and
- If the section is in the middle of a PT_LOAD, it will make no
difference on the computed offset of the followup section.
- If it is in the end of a PT_LOAD, we want to avoid its alignment
changing the offset of the followup sections.
The issue is if it is at the start of the PT_LOAD. In that case we do
have to align it so that the following sections have congruent address
and offset module the page size. We were not handling this case.
This should fix freebsd kernel link.

llvm-svn: 321390
The ARM.exidx section contains a table of 8-byte entries with the first
word of each entry an offset to the function it describes and the second
word instructions for unwinding if an exception is thrown from that
function. The SHF_LINK_ORDER processing will order the table in ascending
order of the functions described by the exception table entries. As the
address range of an exception table entry is terminated by the next table
entry, it is possible to merge consecutive table entries that have
identical unwind instructions.
For this implementation we define a table entry to be identical if:
- Both entries are the special EXIDX_CANTUNWIND.
- Both entries have the same inline unwind instructions.
We do not attempt to establish if table entries that are references to
.ARM.extab sections are identical.
This implementation works at a granularity of a single .ARM.exidx
InputSection. If all entries in the InputSection are identical to the
previous table entry we can remove the InputSection. A more sophisticated
but more complex implementation would rewrite InputSection contents so that
duplicates within a .ARM.exidx InputSection can be merged.

We might crash in 'ARMExidxSentinelSection::writeTo()' because it expected
the sentinel entry to be put in the same 'InputSectionDescription' as

case 'OutputSection::addSection()' creates a new 'InputSectionDescription'.

The size of an OutputSection is calculated early, to aid handling of compressed
debug sections. However, subsequent to this point, unused synthetic sections are
removed. In the event that an OutputSection, from which such an InputSection is
removed, is still required (e.g. because it has a symbol assignment), and no longer
has any InputSections, dot assignments, or BYTE()-family directives, the size
member is never updated when processing the commands. If the removed InputSection
had a non-zero size (such as a .got.plt section), the section ends up with the
wrong size in the output.
The fix is to reset the OutputSection size prior to processing the linker script
commands relating to that OutputSection. This ensures that the size is correct even
in the above situation.
Additionally, to reduce the risk of developers misusing OutputSection Size and
InputSection OutSecOff, they are set to simply the number of InputSections in an
OutputSection, and the corresponding index respectively. We cannot completely
stop using them, due to SHF_LINK_ORDER sections requiring them.
Compressed debug sections also require the full size. This is now calculated in
maybeCompress for these kinds of sections.

When an output section has no byte commands and has no input sections then it

SHT_NOBITS instead of SHT_PROGBITS to allow this. This required some minor test
changes (which double as tests for this new behavior) but extend-pt-load.s had
be changed in a non-trivial way. Since it seems to me that the point of the

We were creating these symbols after parsing version scripts, so they

We cannot move the version script parsing later because we need it for

One option is to move both addReservedSymbols and
createSyntheticSections earlier. The disadvantage is that some
sections created by createSyntheticSections replace other input

wants to run after gc sections so that it can set S->Live to false.

Then first section has SHF_LINK_ORDER flag. But section foo should not.

value when using linker scripts and --image-base is specified, since otherwise the
switch has no effect. This change does this, as well as removing unnecessary
initialisation of Dot where it is not used.
The default image base should not be used when processing linker
scripts, because this will change the behaviour for existing linker script users,
and potentially result in invalid output being produced, as a subsequent assignment
to Dot could move the location counter backwards. Instead, we maintain the existing

If the alignment is trivial, we can skip the value computation. This
allows us to know the offset even in cases where we cannot yet know
the value.

We try to evaluate expressions early when possible, but it is not

Given a linker script that ends in
.some_sec { ...} ;
__stack_start = .;
. = . + 0x2000;
__stack_end = .;
lld would put orphan sections like .comment before __stack_end,
corrupting the intended meaning.
The reason we don't normally move orphans past assignments to . is to
avoid breaking
rx_sec : { *(rx_sec) }
. = ALIGN(0x1000);
/* The RW PT_LOAD starts here*/
but in this case, there is nothing after and it seems safer to put the
orphan section last. This seems to match bfd's behavior and is
convenient for writing linker scripts that care about the layout of
SHF_ALLOC sections, but not of any non SHF_ALLOC sections.
llvm-svn: 313646
When given
foobar = ALIGN(., 0x100);
my expectation from what the manual says is that the final address of
foobar will be aligned. It seems that bfd aligns the offset in the
section, which causes some odd results if the section is not 0x100
aligned. Gold aligns the address.
This changes lld to align the final address.

'@' is a valid character in file paths, but the linker script tokenizer treats it

The problem with symbol assignments in implicit linker scripts is that
they can refer synthetic symbols such as _end, _etext or _edata. The
value of these symbols is currently fixed only after all linker script
commands are processed, so these assignments will be using non-final and
hence invalid value.
Rather than fixing the symbol values after all command processing have
finished, we instead change the logic to generate symbol assignment
commands that set the value of these symbols while processing the
commands, this ensures that the value is going to be correct by the time
any reference to these symbol is processed and is equivalent to defining
these symbols explicitly in linker script as BFD ld does.

Currently, LLD checks whether there's enough space for headers by
checking if headers fit below the address of the first allocated
section. However, that's always thue if the binary doesn't start
at zero which means that LLD always emits a segment for headers,
even if no other sections belong to that segment.
This is a problem in cases when linker script is being used with a
non-zero start address when we don't want to make the headers visible
by not leaving enough space for them. This pattern is common in
embedded programming but doesn't work in LLD.
This patch changes the behavior of LLD in case when linker script
is being to match the behavior of BFD ld and gold, which is to only
place headers into a segment when they're covered by some output

This patch makes changes to allow sections without the SHF_ALLOC bit to be

The assignment of output sections to segments is performed in
LinkerScript::createPhdrs. Previously, this function would bail as soon as it
encountered an output section which did not have the SHF_ALLOC bit set, thus
preventing any output section without SHF_ALLOC from being assigned to a
segment.
This restriction has now been removed from LinkerScript::createPhdrs and instead
a check for SHF_ALLOC has been added to LinkerScript::adjustSectionsAfterSorting
to not propagate program headers to sections without SHF_ALLOC which matches the

Currently we do layout as if non alloc sections had an actual address

On SPARC, .plt is both writeable and executable. The current way
sections are sorted means that lld puts it after .data/.bss. but it
really needs to be close to .test to make sure branches into .plt
don't overflow. I'd argue that because .bss is supposed to come last
on all architectures, we should change the default sort order such
that writable and executable sections come before sections that are
just writeable. read-only executable sections should still come after
sections that are just read-only of course. This diff makes this

We used to place orphans by just using compareSectionsNonScript.
Then we noticed that since linker scripts can use another order, we
should first try match the section to a given PT_LOAD. But there is
nothing special about PT_LOAD. The same issue can show up for
PT_GNU_RELRO for example.
In general, we have to search for the most similar section and put the
orphan next to it. Most similar being defined as how long they follow
the same code path in compareSecitonsNonScript.
That is what this patch does. We now compute a rank for each output
section, with a bit for each branch in what was
compareSectionsNonScript.
With this findOrphanPos is now fully general and orphan placement can
be optimized by placing every section with the same rank at once.

We were already pretty close, the one exception was when a name was
reused in another SECTIONS directive:
SECTIONS {
.text : { *(.text) }
.data : { *(.data) }
}
SECTIONS {
.data : { *(other) }
}
In this case we would create a single .data and magically output
"other" while looking at the first OutputSectionCommand.
We now create two .data sections. This matches what gold does. If we
really want to create a single one, we should change the parser so that
the above is parsed as if the user had written
SECTIONS {
.text : { *(.text) }
.data : { *(.data) *(other)}
}
That is, there should be only one OutputSectionCommand for .data and
it would have two InputSectionDescriptions.

important step in allowing assignAddresses to operate just on the

Executable sections should not be padded with zero by default. On some
architectures, 0x00 is the start of a valid instruction sequence, so can confuse
disassembly between InputSections (and indeed the start of the next InputSection
in some situations). Further, in the case of misjumps into padding, padding may
start to be executed silently.
On x86, the "0xcc" byte represents the int3 trap instruction. It is a single
byte long so can serve well as padding. This change switches x86 (and x86_64) to
use this value for padding in executable sections, if no linker script directive
overrides it. It also puts the behaviour into place making it easy to change the
behaviour of other targets when desired. I do not know the relevant instruction
sequences for trap instructions on other targets however, so somebody should add
this separately.
Because the old behaviour simply wrote padding in the whole section before
overwriting most of it, this change also modifies the padding algorithm to write
padding only where needed. This in turn has caused a small behaviour change with
regards to what values are written via Fill commands in linker scripts, bringing
it into line with ld.bfd. The fill value is now written starting from the end of
the previous block, which means that it always starts from the first byte of the
fill, whereas the old behaviour meant that the padding sometimes started mid-way
through the fill value. See the test changes for more details.

Patch by Mark Kettenis.
Currenlty ld.lld does not add a terminator (a CIE with its length field
set to zero) to the .eh_frame sections it generates. While the relevant
standards (the AMD64 SysV ABI and the Linux LSB) are not explicit about
this, such a terminator is expected by some unwinder implementations and
seems to be always emitted by ld.bfd. In addition to that, the Linux LSB
https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/ehframechpt.html#EHFRAME
explicitly says that
The .eh_frame section shall contain 1 or more Call Frame Information
(CFI) records.
Currently, if the .eh_frame sections of the input files only contain
terminators, ld.lld emits a zero=sized .eh_frame section
which clearly doesn't meet that requirement.
The diff makes sure a terminator gets added to each .eh_frame section
and adjusts all the relevant tests to account for that. An additional
test isn't needed as these adjustments mean that the existence of the
terminator is tested for by several tests already.

This case should be possible to handle, but it is hard:
* In order to create program headers correctly, we have to scan the
sections in the order they are in the file.
* To find that order, we have to "execute" the linker script.
* The linker script can contain SIZEOF_HEADERS.
So to support this we have to start with a guess of how many headers
we need (3), run the linker script and try to create the program
headers. If it turns out we need more headers, we run the script again
with a larger SIZEOF_HEADERS.
Also, running the linker script depends on knowing the size of the
sections, so we have to finalize them. But creating the program
headers can change the value stored in some sections, so we have to
split size finalization and content finalization.
Looks like the last part is also needed for range extension thunks, so
we might support this at some point. For now just report an error
instead of producing broken files.

SHF_LINK_ORDER sections adds special ordering requirements.
Such sections references other sections. Previously we would crash
if section that other were referenced to was discarded by script.
Patch fixes that by discarding all dependent sections in that case.
It supports chained dependencies, testcase is provided.

Unfortunately, the common way of writing linker scripts seems to be
to get the output of ld.bfd --verbose and edit it a bit.
Also unfortunately, the bfd default script contains things like
.rela.dyn : { *(... .rela.data ...) }
but bfd actually ignores that for -emit-relocs, so we have to do the
same.

The linker script lexer is context-sensitive. In the regular context,
arithmetic operator characters are regular characters, but in the
expression context, they are independent tokens. This afects how the
lexer tokenizes "3*4", for example. (This kind of expression is real;
the Linux kernel uses it.)
This patch defines function `maybeSplitExpr`. This function splits the
current token into multiple expression tokens if the lexer is in the
expression context.

OUTPUT_ARCH command can contain architecture values separated with ":", like:
OUTPUT_ARCH(i386:x86-64)
We did not support that, because got 3 lexer tokens here after recent changes.
This trivial patch fixes the issue, now whole expression inside
OUTPUT_ARCH is just ignored.

LLD already parses ALIGN expression to specifiy alignment for output
sections in linker scripts but it never applies the alignment to the
output section. This change handles that.

DefinedSynthetic symbols are attached to sections,
for the case when such symbol was attached to non-allocated section,
we calculated its value incorrectly.
We subtracted Body->Section->Addr, but non-allocatable sections
should have zero VA in output and therefore result value was wrong.
And at the same time we have Body->Section->Addr != 0 for them
internally because use it for calculation of section size.
Patch fixes calculation of such symbols values.

This is a fix for Bugzilla 31813.
The problem is that the tokenizer does not create a separate token for
":" unless there's white space before it. Changed it to always create
a token for ":" and reworked some logic that relied on ":" being
attached to some tokens like "global:" and "local:".

With a synthetic merge section we can have, for example, a single
.rodata section with stings, fixed sized constants and non merge
constants.
I can be simplified further by not setting Entsize, but that is
probably better done is a followup patch.
This should allow some cleanup in the linker script code now that
every output section command maps to just one output section.

This is alternative to D28857 which was incorrect.
One of linux scripts contains:
vvar_start = . - 2 * (1 << 12);
vvar_page = vvar_start;
vvar_vsyscall_gtod_data = vvar_page + 128;
Previously we did not mark first expression as non-absolute,
though it contains location counter.
And LLD failed with error:
relocation R_X86_64_PC32 cannot refer to absolute symbol
This patch should fix the issue, and opens road for doing the same for other operators
(though not clear if that is needed).

Linux kernel linkerscript contains additional semicolon (last line):
.apicdrivers : AT(ADDR(.apicdrivers) - LOAD_OFFSET) {
__apicdrivers = .;
*(.apicdrivers);

.text : { ;;*(.text);;S = 0;; } }

As specified here:
* https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/MEMORY.html#MEMORY
There are two deviations from what is specified for GNU ld:
1. Only integer constants and *not* constant expressions
are allowed in `LENGTH` and `ORIGIN` initializations.
2. The `I` and `L` attributes are *not* implemented.
With (1) there is currently no easy way to evaluate integer
only constant expressions. This can be enhanced in the
future.
With (2) it isn't clear how these flags map to the `SHF_*`
flags or if they even make sense for an ELF linker.

This is in preparation for my next change, which will introduce a relro
nobits section. That requires that relro sections appear at the end of the
progbits part of the r/w segment so that the relro nobits section can appear
contiguously.
Because of the amount of churn required in the test suite, I'm making this
change separately.

After Mark's patch I was wondering what was the rationale for the ELF
spec requiring us to merge only sections with matching flags and
types. I tried emailing
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/generic-abi, but looks like my
emails are not being posted (the list is probably moderated). I
emailed Cary Coutant instead.
Cary pointed out that the section was a late addition and didn't got
the scrutiny it deserved. Given that and the problems found by
implementing the letter of the standard, I propose changing lld to
merge all sections with the same name and issue errors if the types or
some critical flags are different.
This should allow an unmodified firefox linked with lld to run.
This also merges some code with the linkerscript path.

PR31335 shows that we do that in next case:
SECTIONS { .text 0x2000 : {. = 0x100 ; *(.text) } }
though documentations says that "If . is used inside a section
description however, it refers to the byte offset from the start
of that section, not an absolute address. " looks does not work
as documented in bfd (as mentioned in comments for PR31335).
Until we find out the expected behavior was suggested at least not
to 'crash', what we do after trying to generate huge file.
