Only using that change in StringRef already decreases the number of
preoprocessed lines from 7837621 to 7776151 for LLVMSupport
Perhaps more interestingly, it shows that many files were relying on the
inclusion of StringRef.h to have the declaration from STLExtras.h. This
patch tries hard to patch relevant part of llvm-project impacted by this
hidden dependency removal.
Potential impact:
- "llvm/ADT/StringRef.h" no longer includes <memory>,
"llvm/ADT/Optional.h" nor "llvm/ADT/STLExtras.h"

StringRefZ does not improve performance. Non-local symbols always have eagerly
computed nameSize. Most local symbols's lengths will be updated in either:
* shouldKeepInSymtab
* SymbolTableBaseSection::addSymbol
Its benefit is offsetted by strlen in every call site (sums up to 5KiB code in a
release x86-64 build), so using StringRefZ may be slower.
In a -s link (uncommon) there is minor speedup, like ~0.3% for clang and chrome.

Fix a regression after aabe901d57 (`[ELF] Remove
one redundant computeBinding`): isLocal() does not indicate that the symbol is
originally local. For simplicity, just drop this optimization.
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.

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.
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.
Move all variables at file-scope or function-static-scope into a hosting structure (lld::CommonLinkerContext) that lives at lldMain()-scope. Drivers will inherit from this structure and add their own global state, in the same way as for the existing COFFLinkerContext.

Sorting dynamic relocations is a bottleneck. Simplifying the comparator improves
performance. Linking clang is 4~5% faster with --threads=8.
This change may shuffle R_MIPS_REL32 for Mips and is a NFC for non-Mips.
This extends D81784. Sections can be discarded when linking a
relocatable output. Before the patch, LLD did not update the content
of debug sections and only replaced the corresponding relocations with
R_*_NONE, which could break the debug information.

db08df0570 does not work because part.relrDyn is
a unique_ptr and `reset` destroys the object which may still be referenced.
This commit uses the D114180 approach. Also improve the test to check that there
is no R_X86_64_RELATIVE.
Fix https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53073
In case of a relocation error, GNU ld's link map includes
the archive member extraction information but not output sections.
Our -Map and --why-extract= are currently no-op in case of an error.
This change makes the two options work.

to prepare for D116838, otherwise for linkerscript/discard-section-err.s,
there will be a null pointer dereference in `part.relrDyn->getParent()->size`
in `finalizeSynthetic(part.relrDyn.get())`.
Currently the way some relocation-related static functions pass around
states is clumsy. Add a Resolver class to store some states as member
variables.
Advantages:
* Avoid the parameter `InputSectionBase &sec` (this offsets the cost passing around `this` paramemter)
* Avoid the parameter `end` (Mips and PowerPC hacks)
* `config` and `target` can be cached as member variables to reduce global state accesses. (potential speedup because the compiler didn't know `config`/`target` were not changed across function calls)
* If we ever want to reduce if-else costs (e.g. `config->emachine==EM_MIPS` for non-Mips) or introduce parallel relocation scan not handling some tricky arches (PPC/Mips), we can templatize Resolver
`target` isn't used as much as `config`, so I change it to a const reference
during the migration.
There is a minor performance inprovement for elf::scanRelocations.

We only support both TLSDESC and TLS GD for x86 so this is an x86-specific
problem. If both are used, only one R_X86_64_TLSDESC is produced and TLS GD
accesses will incorrectly reference R_X86_64_TLSDESC. Fix this by introducing
SymbolAux::tlsDescIdx.

to decrease sizeof(SymbolUnion) by 8 on ELF64 platforms.
Symbols needing such information are typically 1% or fewer (5134 out of 560520
when linking clang, 19898 out of 5550705 when linking chrome). Storing them
elsewhere can decrease memory usage and symbol initialization time.
There is a ~0.8% saving on max RSS when linking a large program.
Future direction:
* Move some of dynsymIndex/verdefIndex/versionId to SymbolAux
* Support mixed TLSDESC and TLS GD without increasing sizeof(SymbolUnion)

They are LLD-specific and by convention we enforce the double-dash form to avoid
collision with short options (e.g. weird `-c olor-diagnostics` interpretation in
GNU ld). They are rarely used and to the best of my investigation the undesired
single-dash forms are not used in the wild.
This complements D111365.
D111365 did not demote isUsedInRegularObj lazy symbols just to work around
a --symbol-ordering-file diagnostic quirk.
The quirk was dropped by 00dd2d15a4,
so we can demote all lazy symbols now, not just the isUsedInRegularObj ones.
