The ELF spec says
> If the sh_flags field for this section header includes the attribute SHF_INFO_LINK, then this member represents a section header table index.
Set SHF_INFO_LINK so that binary manipulation tools know that sh_info is
a section header table index instead of (the number of local symbols in the case of SHT_SYMTAB/SHT_DYNSYM).
We have already added SHF_INFO_LINK for --emit-relocs retained SHT_REL[A].
For example, we can teach llvm-objcopy to preserve the section index of the sh_info referenced section if
SHF_INFO_LINK is set. (GNU objcopy recognizes .rel[a].plt and updates
sh_info even if SHF_INFO_LINK is not set).

In llvm-objdump, we pass the address of the next MCInst. Ideally we
should just thread the address of the current address, unfortunately we
cannot call X86MCCodeEmitter::encodeInstruction (X86MCCodeEmitter
requires MCInstrInfo and MCContext) to get the length of the MCInst.
MCInstPrinter::printInst has other callers (e.g llvm-mc -filetype=asm, llvm-mca) which set Address to 0.
They leave MCInstPrinter::PrintBranchImmAsAddress as false and this change is a no-op for them.

The new behavior matches GNU objdump. A pair of angle brackets makes tests slightly easier.
`.foo:` is not unique and thus cannot be used in a `CHECK-LABEL:` directive.
Without `-LABEL`, the CHECK line can match the `Disassembly of section`

GNU ld creates the synthetic section .iplt, and has a built-in linker
script that assigns .iplt to the output section .plt . There is no
output section named .iplt .
Making .iplt an output section actually has a benefit that makes the
tricky toolchain feature stand out. Symbolizers don't have to deal with
mixed PLT entries (e.g. llvm-objdump -d incorrectly annotates such jump
targets).
On EM_PPC{,64}, .glink contains a PLT resolver and a series of jump
instructions. The 4-byte entry size makes it unnecessary to have an
alignment of 16.
Mark ppc32-gnu-ifunc.s and ppc32-gnu-ifunc-nonpreemptable.s as `XFAIL: *`.
They test IPLT on EM_PPC, which never works.

PltSection is used by both PLT and IPLT. The PLT section may have a
header while the IPLT section does not. Split off IpltSection from
PltSection to be clearer.
Unlike other targets, PPC64 cannot use the same code sequence for PLT
and IPLT. This helps make a future PPC64 patch (D71509) more isolated.
On EM_386 and EM_X86_64, when PLT is empty while IPLT is not, currently
we are inconsistent whether the PLT header is conceptually attached to
in.plt or in.iplt . Consistently attach the header to in.plt can make
the -z retpolineplt logic simpler. It also makes `jmp` point to an
aesthetically better place for non-retpolineplt cases.

An R_*_IRELATIVE represents the address of a STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol
(redirected at runtime) which is non-preemptable and is not associated
with a canonical PLT (associated with a symbol with a section index of
SHN_UNDEF but a non-zero st_value).
.rel[a].plt [DT_JMPREL, DT_JMPREL+DT_JMPRELSZ) contains relocations that
can be lazily resolved. R_*_IRELATIVE are always eagerly resolved, so
conceptually they do not belong to .rela.plt. "iplt" is mostly a misnomer.
glibc powerpc and powerpc64 do not resolve R_*_IRELATIVE if they are in .rela.plt.
// a.o - synthesized PLT call stub has an R_*_IRELATIVE
void ifunc(); int main() { ifunc(); }
// b.o
static void real() {}
asm (".type ifunc, %gnu_indirect_function");
void *ifunc() { return ℜ }
The lld-linked executable crashes. ld.bfd places R_*_IRELATIVE in
.rela.dyn and the executable works.
glibc i386, x86_64, and aarch64 have logic
(glibc/sysdeps/*/dl-machine.h:elf_machine_lazy_rel) to eagerly resolve
R_*_IRELATIVE in .rel[a].plt so the lld-linked executable works.
Move R_*_IRELATIVE from .rel[a].plt to .rel[a].dyn to fix the crashes on
glibc powerpc/powerpc64. This also helps simplifying ifunc
implementation in FreeBSD rtld-elf powerpc64.
If --pack-dyn-relocs=android[+relr] is specified, the Android packed
dynamic relocation format is used for .rela.dyn. We cannot name
in.relaIplt ".rela.dyn" because the output section will have mixed
formats. This can be improved in the future.

This is https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37538,
Currently, LLD may set both sh_link and sh_info for
.rela.plt section to zero when we have only .rela.iplt section part used.
ELF spec (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/816-1386/chapter6-94076/index.html)
says that for SHT_REL and SHT_RELA, sh_link references the associated symbol table
and sh_info the "section to which the relocation applies."
When we set the sh_link field, for the regular case we use the .dynsym index.
For .rela.iplt sections, it is unclear what is the associated symbol table,
because R_*_RELATIVE relocations do not use symbol names and we might have no
.dynsym section at all so this patch uses .symtab section index.

This change introduces new synthetic sections IpltSection, IgotPltSection
that represent the ifunc entries that would previously have been put in
the PltSection and the GotPltSection. The separation makes sure that
the R_*_IRELATIVE relocations are placed after the non R_*_IRELATIVE
relocations, which permits ifunc resolvers to know that the .got.plt
slots will be initialized prior to the resolver being called.
A secondary benefit is that for ARM we can move the IgotPltSection and its
dynamic relocations to the .got and .rel.dyn as the ARM glibc expects all
the R_*_IRELATIVE relocations to be in the .rel.dyn

Compilers emits .comment section as well, so the output contains
both compiler and linker information.
Alternative considered:
I first tried to add a SHT_NOTE section because GNU gold does that.
A NOTE section starts with a header which contains content type.
It turned out that ld.gold sets type NT_GNU_GOLD_VERSION to their
NOTE section. So the NOTE type is only for GNU gold (surprise!)
Next, I tried to create ".linker-version" section. However, it seems
that reusing the existing ".comment" section is better because 1)
other tools already know about .comment section and is able to strip
it and 2) the result contans not only linker info but also compiler
info.

Our symbol representation was redundant, and some times would get out of
sync. It had an Elf_Sym, but some fields were copied to SymbolBody.
Different parts of the code were checking the bits in SymbolBody and
others were checking Elf_Sym.
There are two general approaches to fix this:
* Copy the required information and don't store and Elf_Sym.
* Don't copy the information and always use the Elf_Smy.
The second way sounds tempting, but has a big problem: we would have to
template SymbolBody. I started doing it, but it requires templeting
*everything* and creates a bit chicken and egg problem at the driver
where we have to find ELFT before we can create an ArchiveFile for
example.
As much as possible I compared the test differences with what gold and
bfd produce to make sure they are still valid. In most cases we are just
adding hidden visibility to a local symbol, which is harmless.
In most tests this is a small speedup. The only slowdown was scylla
(1.006X). The largest speedup was clang with no --build-id, -O3 or
--gc-sections (i.e.: focus on the relocations): 1.019X.
