A `local:` version node in a version script can change the effective symbol binding
to STB_LOCAL. The linker needs to communicate the fact to enable WPD

In AArch32 ARM, the PC reads two instructions ahead of the currently
executiing instruction. This evaluates to 8 in ARM state and 4 in
Thumb state. Branch instructions on AArch32 compensate for this by
subtracting the PC bias from the addend. For a branch to symbol this
will result in an addend of -8 in ARM state and -4 in Thumb state.
The existing ARM Target::inBranchRange function accounted for this
implict addend within the function meaning that if the addend were
to be taken into account by the caller then it would be double
counted. This complicates the interface for all Targets as callers
wanting to account for addends had to account for the ARM PC-bias.
In certain situations such as:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1305
the PC-bias compensation code didn't match up. In particular
normalizeExistingThunk() didn't put the PC-bias back in as Arm
thunks did not store the addend.
The simplest fix for the problem is to add the PC bias in
normalizeExistingThunk when restoring the addend. However I think
it is worth refactoring the Arm inBranchRange implementation so
that fewer calls to getPCBias are needed for other Targets. I
wasn't able to remove getPCBias completely but hopefully the
Relocations.cpp code is simpler now.
In principle a test could be written to replicate the linux kernel
build failure but I wasn't able to reproduce with a small example
that I could build up from scratch.

For one metadata section usage, each text section references a metadata section.
The metadata sections have a C identifier name to allow the runtime to collect them via `__start_/__stop_` symbols.
Since `__start_`/`__stop_` references are always present from live sections, the
C identifier name sections appear like GC roots, which means they cannot be
discarded by `ld --gc-sections`.
To make such sections GCable, either SHF_LINK_ORDER or a section group is needed.
SHF_LINK_ORDER is not suitable for the references can be inlined into other functions
(See D97430:
Function A (in the section .text.A) references its `__sancov_guard` section.
Function B inlines A (so now .text.B references `__sancov_guard` - this is invalid with the semantics of SHF_LINK_ORDER).
In the linking stage,
if `.text.A` gets discarded, and `__sancov_guard` is retained via the reference from `.text.B`,
the output will be invalid because `__sancov_guard` references the discarded `.text.A`.
LLD errors "sh_link points to discarded section".
)
A section group have size overhead, and is cumbersome when there is just one metadata section.
Add `-z start-stop-gc` to drop the "__start_/__stop_ references retain
non-SHF_LINK_ORDER non-SHF_GROUP C identifier name sections" rule.
We reserve the rights to switch the default in the future.

The special root semantics for identifier-named sections is meant
specifically for the metadata sections. In the context of group
semantics, where group members are always retained or discarded as a
unit, it's natural not to have this semantics apply to a section in a
group, otherwise we would never discard the group defeating the purpose
of using the group in the first place.
This change modifies the GC behavior so that __start_/__stop_ references
don't retain C identifier named sections in section groups which allows
for these groups to be collected. This matches the behavior of BFD ld.
The only kind of existing case that might break is interdependent
metadata sections that are all in a group together, but that group
doesn't contain any other sections referenced by anything except
implicit inclusion in a `__start_` and/or `__stop_`-referenced
identifier-named section, but such cases should be unlikely.

This change introduces support for zero flag ELF section groups to lld.
lld already supports COMDAT sections, which in ELF are a special type of
ELF section groups. These are generally useful to enable linker GC where

either retained or discarded as a whole, but without the COMDAT
semantics. Other ELF linkers already support zero flag ELF section
groups and this change helps us reach feature parity.

When parsing an object file, LLD interleaves undefined symbol resolution (which
may recursively fetch other lazy objects) with defined symbol resolution.
This may lead to surprising results, e.g. if an object file defines currently
undefined symbols and references another lazy symbol, we may interleave defined
symbols with the lazy fetch, potentially leading to the defined symbols
resolving to different files.
As an example, if both `a.a(a.o)` and `a.a(b.o)` define `foo` (not in COMDAT
group, or in different COMDAT groups) and `__profd_foo` (in COMDAT group
`__profd_foo`). LLD may resolve `foo` to `a.a(a.o)` and `__profd_foo` to
`b.a(b.o)`, i.e. different files.
```
parse ArchiveFile a.a
entry fetches a.a(a.o)
parse ObjectFile a.o
define entry
define foo
reference b
b fetches a.a(b.o)
parse ObjectFile b.o
define prevailing __profd_foo
define (ignored) non-prevailing __profd_foo
```
Assuming a set of interconnected symbols are defined all or none in several lazy
objects. Arguably making them resolve to the same file is preferable than making
them resolve to different files (some are lazy objects).
The main argument favoring the new behavior is the stability. The relative order
between a defined symbol and an undefined symbol does not change the symbol
resolution behavior. Only the relative order between two undefined symbols can
affect fetching behaviors.
---
The real world case is reduced from a Fuchsia PGO usage: `a.a(a.o)` has a
constructor within COMDAT group C5 while `a.a(b.o)` has a constructor within
COMDAT group C2. Because they use different group signatures, they are not
de-duplicated. It is not entirely whether Clang behavior is entirely conforming.
LLD selects the PGO counter section (`__profd_*`) from `a.a(b.o)` and the
constructor section from `a.a(a.o)`. The `__profd_*` is a SHF_LINK_ORDER section
linking to its own non-prevailing constructor section, so LLD errors
`sh_link points to discarded section`. This patch fixes the error.

binutils 2.36 introduced the new section flag SHF_GNU_RETAIN (for ELFOSABI_GNU &
ELFOSABI_FREEBSD) to mark a sections as a GC root. Several LLVM side toolchain
folks (including me) were involved in the design process of SHF_GNU_RETAIN and
were happy with this proposal.
Currently GNU ld only respects SHF_GNU_RETAIN semantics for ELFOSABI_GNU &
ELFOSABI_FREEBSD object files
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27282). GNU ld sets EI_OSABI
to ELFOSABI_GNU for relocatable output
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27091). In practice the single
value EI_OSABI is neither a good indicator for object file compatibility, nor a
useful mechanism marking used ELF extensions.
For input, we respect SHF_GNU_RETAIN semantics even for ELFOSABI_NONE object
files. This is compatible with how LLD and GNU ld handle (mildly useful) STT_GNU_IFUNC
/ (emitted by GCC, considered misfeature by some folks) STB_GNU_UNIQUE input.
(As of LLVM 12.0.0, the integrated assembler does not set ELFOSABI_GNU for
STT_GNU_IFUNC/STB_GNU_UNIQUE).
Arguably STT_GNU_IFUNC/STB_GNU_UNIQUE probably need indicators in object files
but SHF_GNU_RETAIN is more likely accepted by more OSABI platforms.
For output, we take a step further than GNU ld: we don't promote ELFOSABI_NONE
to ELFOSABI_GNU for all output.

bl __tls_get_addr(x@tlsgd) # R_PPC64_TLSGD followed by R_PPC64_REL24

However, there are two deviations form the above:
1. direct call to `__tls_get_addr`. This is essential to implement ld.so in glibc/musl/FreeBSD.
```
bl __tls_get_addr
nop
```
This is only used in a -shared link, and thus not subject to the GD/LD to IE/LE
relaxation issue below.
2. Missing R_PPC64_TLSGD/R_PPC64_TLSGD for compiler generated TLS references
According to Stefan Pintille, "In the early days of the transition from the
ELFv1 ABI that is used for big endian PowerPC Linux distributions to the ELFv2
ABI that is used for little endian PowerPC Linux distributions, there was some
ambiguity in the specification of the relocations for TLS. The GNU linker has
implemented support for correct handling of calls to __tls_get_addr with a
missing relocation. Unfortunately, we didn't notice that the IBM XL compiler
did not handle TLS according to the updated ABI until we tried linking XL
compiled libraries with LLD."
In short, LLD needs to work around the old IBM XL compiler issue.
Otherwise, if the object file is linked in -no-pie or -pie mode,
the result will be incorrect because the 4 instructions are partially
rewritten (the latter 2 are not changed).
Work around the compiler bug by disable General Dynamic/Local Dynamic to
Initial Exec/Local Exec relaxation. Note, we also disable Initial Exec
to Local Exec relaxation for implementation simplicity, though technically it can be kept.

`try ... catch` in an inline function produces `.gcc_except_table.*` in a COMDAT
group with GCC or newer Clang (since D83655). For --gc-sections, currently we
scan `.eh_frame` pieces and mark liveness of such a `.gcc_except_table.*` and
then the associated `.text.*` (if a member in a section group is retained, the
others should be retained as well).
Essentially all `.text.*` and `.gcc_except_table.*` compiled from inline
functions with `try ... catch` cannot be discarded by the imprecise
--gc-sections. Compared with the state before D83655, the output
`.gcc_except_table` is smaller (non-prevailing copies in COMDAT groups can now
be discarded) but `.text` may be larger, i.e. size regression.
This patch teaches the .eh_frame piece scanning code to not mark
`.gcc_except_table` in a section group, thus allow unused `.text.*` and
`.gcc_except_table.*` in a section group to be discarded.
Note, non-group `.gcc_except_table` can still not be discarded. That is the status quo.

Actually GCC and Clang do use %05u. (In the test `ctors_dtors_priority.s` and Gold's test `gold/testsuite/script_test_14.s`, we can see %03u, but they are not really produced by compilers.)

According to
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Input-Section-Basics.html#Input-Section-Basics
for `*(.a .b)`, the order should match the input order:
* for `ld 1.o 2.o`, sections from 1.o precede sections from 2.o
* within a file, `.a` and `.b` appear in the section header table order
This patch implements the behavior. The interaction with `SORT*` and --sort-section is:
Matched sections are ordered by radix sort with the keys being `(SORT*, --sort-section, input order)`,
where `SORT*` (if present) is most significant.
> Note, multiple `SORT*` within an input section description has undocumented and
> confusing behaviors in GNU ld:
> https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2020-November/114083.html
> Therefore multiple `SORT*` is not the focus for this patch but
> this patch still strives to have an explainable behavior.
As an example, we partition `SORT(a.*) b.* c.* SORT(d.*)`, into
`SORT(a.*) | b.* c.* | SORT(d.*)` and perform sorting within groups. Sections
matched by patterns between two `SORT*` are sorted by input order. If
--sort-alignment is given, they are sorted by --sort-alignment, breaking tie by
input order.
This patch also allows a section to be matched by multiple patterns, previously
duplicated sections could occupy more space in the output and had erroneous zero bytes.
The patch is in preparation for support for

The combination has not been tested before. In the case of ICF,

This can cause incorrect overlapping with the actual function at the

if a short address range incorrectly starts at the start address of the

range. When mapping an address within the long address range but
out of the scope of the short address range, the routine may find
nothing - while the code asserts that it can find something).

ICF was not able to merge equivalent sections because of relocations to
sections ineligible for ICF that use alternative symbols, e.g. symbol
aliases or section relative relocations.
Merging in this scenario has been enabled by giving the sections that
are ineligible for ICF a unique ID, i.e. an equivalence class of their
own. This approach also provides another benefit as it improves the
hashing that is used to perform the initial equivalance grouping for
ICF. This is because the ICF ineligible sections can now contribute a
unique value towards the hashes instead of the same value of zero. This
has been seen to reduce link time with ICF by ~68% for objects compiled
with -fprofile-instr-generate.
In order to facilitate this use of a unique ID, the existing
inconsistent approach to the setting of the InputSection eqClass in ICF
has been changed so that there is a clear distinction between the
eqClass values of ICF eligible sections and those of the ineligible
sections that have a unique ID. This inconsistency could have caused
incorrect equivalence class equality in the past, although it appears
that no issues were encountered in actual use.

One relocation is for the function call itself and it is either R_PPC64_REL24 or R_PPC64_REL24_NOTOC.
The other is R_PPC64_TLSGD or R_PPC64_TLSLD for the symbol that is having its address computed.
In the early days of the transition from the ELFv1 ABI that is used for big endian PowerPC Linux distributions to the ELFv2 ABI that is used for little endian PowerPC Linux distributions, there was some ambiguity in the specification of the relocations for TLS. The GNU linker has implemented support for correct handling of calls to __tls_get_addr with a missing relocation. Unfortunately, we didn't notice that the IBM XL compiler did not handle TLS according to the updated ABI until we tried linking XL compiled libraries with LLD. As a result, there is a lot of code out there in various libraries compiled with XL that have this problem.

D85100 appeared to take a detour. If we take a combined view on D85100 and this
patch, the overall complexity slightly increases (one more 3-line loop) and
compatibility with GNU ld improves.
The behavior we don't want to match is the special treatment of .symtab

LLD currently does not allow non-contiguous SHF_LINK_ORDER components in an
output section. This makes it infeasible to add SHF_LINK_ORDER to an existing
metadata section if backward compatibility with older object files are
concerned.
We did not allow mixed components (like GNU ld) and D77007 relaxed to allow
non-contiguous SHF_LINK_ORDER components. This patch allows arbitrary mix, with
sorting performed within an InputSectionDescription. For example,
`.rodata : {*(.rodata.foo) *(.rodata.bar)}`, has two InputSectionDescription's.
If there is at least one SHF_LINK_ORDER and at least one non-SHF_LINK_ORDER in
.rodata.foo, they are ordered within `*(.rodata.foo)`: we arbitrarily place
SHF_LINK_ORDER components before non-SHF_LINK_ORDER components (like Solaris ld).
`*(.rodata.bar)` is ordered similarly, but the two InputSectionDescription's
don't interact. It can be argued that this is more reasonable than the previous
behavior where written order was not respected.
It would be nice if the two different semantics (ordering requirement & garbage
collection) were not overloaded on one section flag, however, it is probably
difficult to obtain a generic flag at this point
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/generic-abi/hgx_m1aXqUo
"SHF_LINK_ORDER's original semantics make upgrade difficult").
(Actually, without the GC semantics, SHF_LINK_ORDER would still have the
sh_link!=0 & sh_link=0 issue. It is just that people find the GC semantics more
useful and tend to use the feature more often.)

This patch implements the handling for the R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT relocation as well
as the GOT relocation for the associated R_PPC64_GOT_PCREL34 relocation.
On Power10 targets with PC-Relative addressing, the linker can relax
GOT-relative accesses to PC-Relative under some conditions. Since the sequence
consists of a prefixed load, followed by a non-prefixed access (load or store),
the linker needs to replace the first instruction (as the replacement
instruction will be prefixed). The compiler communicates to the linker that
this optimization is safe by placing the two aforementioned relocations on the
GOT load (of the address).
The linker then does two things:
- Convert the load from the got into a PC-Relative add to compute the address
relative to the PC
- Find the instruction referred to by the second relocation (R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT)
and replace the first with the PC-Relative version of it
It is important to synchronize the mapping from legacy memory instructions to
their PC-Relative form. Hence, this patch adds a file to be included by both
the compiler and the linker so they're always in agreement.

-gdwarf-5 -fdebug-types-section may produce multiple .debug_info sections. All
except one are type units (.debug_types before DWARF v5). When constructing
.gdb_index, we should ignore these type units. We use a simple heuristic: the
compile unit does not have the SHF_GROUP flag. (This needs to be revisited if
people place compile unit .debug_info in COMDAT groups.)
This issue manifests as a data race: because an object file may have multiple
.debug_info sections, we may concurrently construct `LLDDwarfObj` for the same
file in multiple threads. The threads may access `InputSectionBase::data()`
concurrently on the same input section. `InputSectionBase::data()` does a lazy
uncompress() and rewrites the member variable `rawData`. A thread running zlib
`inflate()` (transitively called by uncompress()) on a buffer with `rawData`
tampered by another thread may fail with `uncompress failed: zlib error: Z_DATA_ERROR`.
Even if no data race occurred in an optimistic run, if there are N .debug_info,
one CU entry and its address ranges will be replicated N times. The result
.gdb_index can be much larger than a correct one.
The new test gdb-index-dwarf5-type-unit.s actually has two compile units. This
cannot be produced with regular approaches (it can be produced with -r

only considers the last non-SHF_GROUP .debug_info

tl;dr See D81784 for the 'tombstone value' concept. This patch changes our behavior to be almost the same as GNU ld (except that we also use 1 for .debug_loc):
* .debug_ranges & .debug_loc: 1 (LLD<11: 0+addend; GNU ld uses 1 for .debug_ranges)
* .debug_*: 0 (LLD<11: 0+addend; GNU ld uses 0; future LLD: -1)
We make the tweaks because:
1) The new tombstone is novel and needs more time to be adopted by consumers before it's the default.
2) The old (gold) strategy had problems with zero-length functions - so rather than going back that, we're going to the GNU ld strategy which doesn't have that problem.
3) One slight tweak to (2) is to apply the .debug_ranges workaround to .debug_loc for the same reasons it applies to debug_ranges - to avoid terminating lists early.

The tombstone value -1 in .debug_line caused problems to lldb (fixed by D83957;
will be included in 11.0.0) and breakpad (fixed by
https://crrev.com/c/2321300). It may potentially affects other DWARF consumers.
For .debug_ranges & .debug_loc: 1, an argument preferring 1 (GNU ld for .debug_ranges) over -2 is that:
```
{-1, -2} <<< base address selection entry
{0, length} <<< address range
```
may create a situation where low_pc is greater than high_pc. So we use
1, the GNU ld behavior for .debug_ranges
For other .debug_* sections, there haven't been many reports. One issue is that
bloaty (src/dwarf.cc) can incorrectly count address ranges in .debug_ranges . To
reduce similar disruption, this patch changes the tombstone values to be similar to GNU ld.
This does mean another behavior change to the default trunk behavior. Sorry
about it. The default trunk behavior will be similar to release/11.x while we work on a transition plan for LLD users.

Scan .eh_frame pieces with LSDA and disallow referenced text sections to be

See D59553, https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-May/141885.html and
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2020-May/111357.html for
extensive discussions on a tombstone value.
See http://www.dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=200609.1
(Reserve an address value for "not present") for a DWARF enhancement proposal.
We resolve such relocations to a tombstone value to indicate that the address is invalid.
This solves several problems (the normal behavior is to resolve the relocation to the addend):
* For an empty function in a collected section, a pair of (0,0) can
terminate .debug_loc and .debug_ranges (as of binutils 2.34, GNU ld
resolves such a relocation to 1 to avoid the .debug_ranges issue)
* If DW_AT_high_pc is sufficiently large, the address range can collide
with a regular code range of low address (https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41124 )
* If a text section is folded into another by ICF, we may leave entries
in multiple CUs claiming ownership of the same range of code, which can
confuse consumers.
* Debug information associated with COMDAT sections can have problems
similar to ICF, but is more complex - thus not addressed by this patch.
For pre-DWARF-v5 .debug_loc and .debug_ranges, a pair of 0 can terminate
entries (invalidating subsequent ranges).
-1 is a reserved value with special meaning (base address selection entry) which can't be used either.
Use -2 instead.
For all other .debug_*, use UINT32_MAX for 32-bit targets and UINT64_MAX
for 64-bit targets. In the code, we intentionally use
`uint64_t tombstone = UINT64_MAX` for 32-bit targets as well: this matches
SignExtend64 as used in `relocateAlloc`. (Actually UINT32_MAX does not work for R_386_32)
Note 0, we only special case `target->symbolicRel` (R_X86_64_64, R_AARCH64_ABS64, R_PPC64_ADDR64), not
short-range absolute relocations (e.g. R_X86_64_32). Only forms like DW_FORM_addr need to be special cased.
They can hold an arbitrary address (must be 64-bit on a 64-bit target). (In theory,
producers can make use of small code model to emit 32-bit relocations. This doesn't seem to be leveraged.)
Note 1, we have to ignore the addend, because we don't want to resolve
DW_AT_low_pc (which may have a non-zero addend) to -1+addend (wrap
around to a low address):
__attribute__((section(".text.x"))) void f1() { }
__attribute__((section(".text.x"))) void f2() { } // DW_AT_low_pc has a non-zero addend
Note 2, if the prevailing copy does not have debugging information while
a non-prevailing copy has (partial debug build), we don't do extra work
to attach debugging information to the prevailing definition. (clang
has a lot of debug info optimizations that are on-by-default that assume
the whole program is built with debug info).

Symbol resolution can trigger a duplicate symbol error which will call

in, InputSectionBase::getObjMsg will crash due to
`dyn_cast<Defined>(nullptr)`.

A hasWildcard pattern iterates over symVector, which can be slow when there

While here, add two tests using `[` and `?`, respectively.
This change introduces an LLD switch --thinlto-single-module to allow compiling only a part of the input modules. This is specifically enables:
1. Fast investigating/debugging modules of interest without spending time on compiling unrelated modules.
2. Compiler debug dump with -mllvm -debug-only= for specific modules.
It will be useful for large applications which has 1K+ input modules for thinLTO.
The switch can be combined with `--lto-obj-path=` or `--lto-emit-asm` to obtain intermediate object files or assembly files. So far the module name matching is implemented as a fuzzy name lookup where the modules with name containing the switch value are compiled.

After D79300, we don't rewrite InputFile::mb to an empty buffer.

Fixes PR45594.
In `ObjFile<ELFT>::initializeSymbols()`, for a defined symbol relative to
a discarded section (due to section group rules), it may have been
inserted as a lazy symbol. We need to demote it to an Undefined to
enable the `discarded section` error happened in a later pass.
Add `LazyObjFile::fetched` (if true) and `ArchiveFile::parsed` (if
false) to represent that there is an ongoing lazy symbol fetch and we
should replace the current lazy symbol with an Undefined, instead of
calling `Symbol::resolve` (`Symbol::resolve` should be called if the lazy
symbol was added by an unrelated archive/lazy object).
As a side result, one small issue in start-lib-comdat.s is now fixed.
The hack motivating D51892 will be unsupported: if
`.gnu.linkonce.t.__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx` in an archive is referenced
by another section, this will likely be errored unless the function is
also defined in a regular object file.
(Bringing back rL330869 would error `undefined symbol` instead of the
more relevant `discarded section`.)
Note, glibc i386's crti.o still works (PR31215), because

LLD supports both REL and RELA for static relocations, but emits either
of REL and RELA for dynamic relocations. The relocation entry format is

musl ld.so supports both REL and RELA. For such ld.so implementations,
REL (.rel.dyn .rel.plt) has size benefits even if the psABI chooses RELA:
sizeof(Elf64_Rel)=16 < sizeof(Elf64_Rela)=24.
* COPY, GLOB_DAT and J[U]MP_SLOT always have 0 addend. A ld.so
implementation does not need to read the implicit addend.
REL is strictly better.
* A RELATIVE has a non-zero addend. Such relocations can be packed
compactly with the RELR relocation entry format, which is out of scope
of this patch.
* For other dynamic relocation types (e.g. symbolic relocation R_X86_64_64),
a ld.so implementation needs to read the implicit addend. REL may have
minor performance impact, because reading implicit addends forces
random access reads instead of being able to blast out a bunch of
writes while chasing the relocation array.
This patch adds -z rel and -z rela to change the relocation entry format
for dynamic relocations. I have tested that a -z rel produced x86-64
executable works with musl ld.so
-z rela may be useful for debugging purposes on processors whose psABIs
specify REL as the canonical format: addends can be easily read by a tool.

Save and Restore Functions defines some special functions which may be

Some changed options are also used by gold, but I haven't seen their
one-dash use cases outside of lld's testsuite.
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.

there is a dangling reference problem that can happen with these sections.

GNU tools generate mapping symbols "$d" for .ARM.exidx sections. The

LLD output those symbols as SHN_ABS with the value of 0. The patch

Summary: The switch --plugin-opt=emit-asm can be used with the gold linker to dump the final assembly code generated by LTO in a user-friendly way. Unfortunately it doesn't work with lld. I'm hooking it up with lld. With that switch, lld emits assembly code into the output file (specified by -o) and if there are multiple input files, each of their assembly code will be emitted into a separate file named by suffixing the output file name with a unique number, respectively. The linking then stops after generating those assembly files.

When discarding local symbols with --discard-all or --discard-locals,
the ones which are used in relocations should be preserved. LLD used
the simplest approach and just ignored those switches when -r or
--emit-relocs was specified.
The patch implements handling the --discard-* switches for the cases
when relocations are kept by identifying used local symbols and allowing
removing only unused ones. This makes the behavior of LLD compatible

The contents of the .ARM.exidx section must be ordered by SHF_LINK_ORDER
rules. We don't need to know the precise address for this order, but we
do need to know the relative order of sections. We have been using the
sectionIndex for this purpose, this works when the OutputSection order
has a monotonically increasing virtual address, but it is possible to
write a linker script with non-monotonically increasing virtual address.
For these cases we need to evaluate the base address of the OutputSection
so that we can order the .ARM.exidx sections properly.
This change moves the finalisation of .ARM.exidx till after the first
call to AssignAddresses. This permits us to sort on virtual address which
is linker script safe. It also permits a fix for part of pr44824 where
we generate .ARM.exidx section for the vector table when that table is so
far away it is out of range of the .ARM.exidx section. This fix will come
in a follow up patch.

For a relative path in INPUT() or GROUP(), this patch changes the search order by adding the directory of the current linker script.
The new search order (consistent with GNU ld >= 2.35 regarding the new test `test/ELF/input-relative.s`):
1. the directory of the current linker script (GNU ld from Binutils 2.35 onwards; https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25806)
2. the current working directory
3. library paths (-L)
This behavior makes it convenient to replace a .so or .a with a linker script with additional input. For example, glibc
```
% cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.a
/* GNU ld script
*/
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf64-x86-64)
GROUP ( /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm-2.29.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmvec.a )
```
could be simplified as `GROUP(libm-2.29.a libmvec.a)`.
Another example is to make libc++.a a linker script:
```
INPUT(libc++.a.1 libc++abi.a)

Note, -l is not affected.

Bitcode does not record undefined module-level inline assembly symbols

have the FB_tls bit and lld will not consider it STT_TLS. When the symbol is
later replaced by a STT_TLS Defined, lld will error "TLS attribute mismatch".
This patch fixes this false positive by allowing a STT_NOTYPE undefined

Moving the diagnostics to scanRelocs() can improve the diagnostics (PR36049)

D77522 changed --warn-backrefs to not warn for linking sandwich

However, glibc still has some problems. libc.a defines some symbols

For a linking order `-lm -lpthread -lc`, I have seen:
```
// different resolutions: GNU ld/gold select libc.a(s_isnan.o) as the definition
backward reference detected: __isnanl in libc.a(printf_fp.o) refers to libm.a(m_isnanl.o)
// different resolutions: GNU ld/gold select libc.a(raise.o) as the definition
backward reference detected: raise in libc.a(abort.o) refers to libpthread.a(pt-raise.o)
```
To facilitate deployment of --warn-backrefs, add --warn-backrefs-exclude= so that
certain known issues (which may be impractical to fix) can be whitelisted.
Deliberate choices:
* Not a comma-separated list (`--warn-backrefs-exclude=liba.a,libb.a`).
-Wl, splits the argument at commas, so we cannot use commas.
--export-dynamic-symbol is similar.
* Not in the style of `--warn-backrefs='*' --warn-backrefs=-liba.a`.
We just need exclusion, not inclusion. For easier build system
integration, we should avoid order dependency. With the current

--warn-backrefs-exclude=<glob> to their LDFLAGS.

This is an alternative design to D77512.
D45195 added --warn-backrefs to detect
* A. certain input orders which GNU ld either errors ("undefined reference")
or has different resolution semantics
* B. (byproduct) some latent multiple definition problems (-ldef1 -lref -ldef2) which I
call "linking sandwich problems". def2 may or may not be the same as def1.
When an archive appears more than once (-ldef -lref -ldef), lld and GNU
ld may have the same resolution but --warn-backrefs may warn. This is
not uncommon. For example, currently lld itself has such a problem:
```
liblldCommon.a liblldCOFF.a ... liblldCommon.a
_ZN3lld10DWARFCache13getDILineInfoEmm in liblldCOFF.a refers to liblldCommon.a(DWARF.cpp.o)
libLLVMSupport.a also appears twice and has a similar warning
```
glibc has such problems. It is somewhat destined because of its separate
libc/libpthread/... and arbitrary grouping. The situation is getting
improved over time but I have seen:
```
-lc __isnanl references -lm
-lc _IO_funlockfile references -lpthread
```
There are also various issues in interaction with other runtime
libraries such as libgcc_eh and libunwind:
```
-lc __gcc_personality_v0 references -lgcc_eh
-lpthread __gcc_personality_v0 references -lgcc_eh
-lpthread _Unwind_GetCFA references -lunwind
```
These problems are actually benign. We want --warn-backrefs to focus on
its main task A and defer task B (which is also useful) to a more
specific future feature (see gold --detect-odr-violations and
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43110).

This patch adds lld support for basic block sections and performs relaxations
after the basic blocks have been reordered.
After the linker has reordered the basic block sections according to the
desired sequence, it runs a relaxation pass to optimize jump instructions.
Currently, the compiler emits the long form of all jump instructions. AMD64 ISA
supports variants of jump instructions with one byte offset or a four byte
offset. The compiler generates jump instructions with R_X86_64 32-bit PC
relative relocations. We would like to use a new relocation type for these jump
instructions as it makes it easy and accurate while relaxing these instructions.
The relaxation pass does two things:
First, it deletes all explicit fall-through direct jump instructions between
adjacent basic blocks. This is done by discarding the tail of the basic block
section.
Second, If there are consecutive jump instructions, it checks if the first
conditional jump can be inverted to convert the second into a fall through and
delete the second.
The jump instructions are relaxed by using jump instruction mods, something
like relocations. These are used to modify the opcode of the jump instruction.
Jump instruction mods contain three values, instruction offset, jump type and
size. While writing this jump instruction out to the final binary, the linker
uses the jump instruction mod to determine the opcode and the size of the
modified jump instruction. These mods are required because the input object
files are memory-mapped without write permissions and directly modifying the
object files requires copying these sections. Copying a large number of basic
block sections significantly bloats memory.

The C-library will take references to the _start and _end symbols to

When the integrated assembler is enabled, clang's -fpatchable-function-entry=N[,M]
implementation sets the SHF_LINK_ORDER flag (D72215) to fix a number of

Strictly speaking, the ELF specification does not require contiguous
SHF_LINK_ORDER sections but for many current uses of SHF_LINK_ORDER like
.ARM.exidx/__patchable_function_entries there has been a requirement for
the sections to be contiguous on top of the requirements of the ELF
specification.
This patch also imposes one restriction: SHF_LINK_ORDER sections cannot
be separated by a symbol assignment or a BYTE command. Not allowing BYTE
is a natural extension that a non-SHF_LINK_ORDER cannot be a separator.
Symbol assignments can delimiter the contents of SHF_LINK_ORDER
sections. Allowing SHF_LINK_ORDER sections across symbol assignments
(especially __start_/__stop_) can make things hard to explain. The

Any OUTPUT_FORMAT in a linker script overrides the emulation passed on

message about incompatible input files.
This prevents confusing error messages. For example, if you explicitly
pass `-m elf_x86_64` to LLD but accidentally include a linker script
which sets `OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)`, LLD would previously complain
about your input files being compatible with elf_x86_64, which isn't the
actual issue, and is confusing because the input files are in fact
x86-64 ELF files.
Interestingly enough, this also prevents a segfault! When we don't pass
`-m` and we have an object file which is incompatible with the
`OUTPUT_FORMAT` set by a linker script, the object file is checked for
compatibility before it's added to the objectFiles vector.
config->emulation, objectFiles, and sharedFiles will all be empty, so
we'll attempt to access bitcodeFiles[0], but bitcodeFiles is also empty,
so we'll segfault. This commit prevents the segfault by adding

Added a write method for TimeTrace that takes two strings representing
file names. The first is any file name that may have been provided by the
user via `time-trace-file` flag, and the second is a fallback that should
be configured by the caller. This method makes it cleaner to write the
trace output because there is no longer a need to check file names at the
caller and simplifies future TimeTrace usages.

MC will now output the R_ARM_THM_PC8, R_ARM_THM_PC12 and
R_ARM_THM_PREL_11_0 relocations. These are short-ranged relocations that
are used to implement the adr rd, literal and ldr rd, literal pseudo
instructions.
The instructions use a new RelExpr called R_ARM_PCA in order to calculate
the required S + A - Pa expression, where Pa is AlignDown(P, 4) as the
instructions add their immediate to AlignDown(PC, 4). We also do not want
these relocations to generate or resolve against a PLT entry as the range
of these relocations is so short they would never reach.
The R_ARM_THM_PC8 has a special encoding convention for the relocation
addend, the immediate field is unsigned, yet the addend must be -4 to
account for the Thumb PC bias. The ABI (not the architecture) uses the
convention that the 8-byte immediate of 0xff represents -4.

Doing this in lld is particularly convenient as the --reproduce option

to add --shuffle-sections=0 to the response file and relink before each

The goal of this patch is to maximize CPU utilization on multi-socket or high core count systems, so that parallel computations such as LLD/ThinLTO can use all hardware threads in the system. Before this patch, on Windows, a maximum of 64 hardware threads could be used at most, in some cases dispatched only on one CPU socket.
== Background ==
Windows doesn't have a flat cpu_set_t like Linux. Instead, it projects hardware CPUs (or NUMA nodes) to applications through a concept of "processor groups". A "processor" is the smallest unit of execution on a CPU, that is, an hyper-thread if SMT is active; a core otherwise. There's a limit of 32-bit processors on older 32-bit versions of Windows, which later was raised to 64-processors with 64-bit versions of Windows. This limit comes from the affinity mask, which historically is represented by the sizeof(void*). Consequently, the concept of "processor groups" was introduced for dealing with systems with more than 64 hyper-threads.
By default, the Windows OS assigns only one "processor group" to each starting application, in a round-robin manner. If the application wants to use more processors, it needs to programmatically enable it, by assigning threads to other "processor groups". This also means that affinity cannot cross "processor group" boundaries; one can only specify a "preferred" group on start-up, but the application is free to allocate more groups if it wants to.
This creates a peculiar situation, where newer CPUs like the AMD EPYC 7702P (64-cores, 128-hyperthreads) are projected by the OS as two (2) "processor groups". This means that by default, an application can only use half of the cores. This situation could only get worse in the years to come, as dies with more cores will appear on the market.
== The problem ==
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() API was introduced so that only *one hardware thread per core* was used. Once that API returns, that original intention is lost, only the number of threads is retained. Consider a situation, on Windows, where the system has 2 CPU sockets, 18 cores each, each core having 2 hyper-threads, for a total of 72 hyper-threads. Both heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() and hardware_concurrency() currently return 36, because on Windows they are simply wrappers over std:🧵:hardware_concurrency() -- which can only return processors from the current "processor group".
== The changes in this patch ==
To solve this situation, we capture (and retain) the initial intention until the point of usage, through a new ThreadPoolStrategy class. The number of threads to use is deferred as late as possible, until the moment where the std::threads are created (ThreadPool in the case of ThinLTO).
When using hardware_concurrency(), setting ThreadCount to 0 now means to use all the possible hardware CPU (SMT) threads. Providing a ThreadCount above to the maximum number of threads will have no effect, the maximum will be used instead.
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() is similar to hardware_concurrency(), except that only one thread per hardware *core* will be used.
When LLVM_ENABLE_THREADS is OFF, the threading APIs will always return 1, to ensure any caller loops will be exercised at least once.

Recommit of 0b4a047bfb
(reverted in c29003813a) to incorporate
subsequent fix and add a warning when LLD's interworking behavior has
changed.
D73474 disabled the generation of interworking thunks for branch
relocations to non STT_FUNC symbols. This patch handles the case of BL and
BLX instructions to non STT_FUNC symbols. LLD would normally look at the
state of the caller and the callee and write a BL if the states are the
same and a BLX if the states are different.
This patch disables BL/BLX substitution when the destination symbol does
not have type STT_FUNC. This brings our behavior in line with GNU ld which
may prevent difficult to diagnose runtime errors when switching to lld.
This change does change how LLD handles interworking of symbols that do not
have type STT_FUNC from previous versions including the 10.0 release. This
brings LLD in line with ld.bfd but there may be programs that have not been
linked with ld.bfd that depend on LLD's previous behavior. We emit a warning
when the behavior changes.
A summary of the difference between 10.0 and 11.0 is that for symbols
that do not have a type of STT_FUNC LLD will not change a BL to a BLX or
vice versa. The table below enumerates the changes
| relocation | STT_FUNC | bit(0) | in | 10.0- out | 11.0+ out |

`SECTIONS {...} INSERT [AFTER|BEFORE] .foo` does not set `hasSectionCommands`, so the result

* some special symbols such as `_end _etext _edata` are not defined
The behavior is similar to GNU ld:

GNU ld has a counterintuitive lang_propagate_lma_regions rule.
```

// and .bar does not have an explicit output section address (addr_tree).
.foo : { *(.foo) } >RAM AT> FLASH
.bar : { *(.bar) } >RAM
// An explicit output section address disables propagation.
.foo : { *(.foo) } >RAM AT> FLASH
.bar . : { *(.bar) } >RAM
```
In both cases, lld thinks .foo's LMA region is propagated and
places .bar in the same PT_LOAD, so lld diverges from GNU ld w.r.t. the
second case (lma-align.test).
This patch changes Writer<ELFT>::createPhdrs to disable propagation
(start a new PT_LOAD). A user of the first case can make linker scripts
portable by explicitly specifying `AT>`. By contrast, there was no
workaround for the old behavior.
This change uncovers another LMA related bug in assignOffsets() where
`ctx->lmaOffset = 0;` was omitted. It caused a spurious "load address
range overlaps" error for at2.test

ELF for the ARM architecture requires linkers to provide
interworking for symbols that are of type STT_FUNC. Interworking for
other symbols must be encoded directly in the object file. LLD was always
providing interworking, regardless of the symbol type, this breaks some
programs that have branches from Thumb state targeting STT_NOTYPE symbols
that have bit 0 clear, but they are in fact internal labels in a Thumb
function. LLD treats these symbols as ARM and inserts a transition to Arm.
This fixes the problem for in range branches, R_ARM_JUMP24,
R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 and R_ARM_THM_JUMP19. This is expected to be the vast
majority of problem cases as branching to an internal label close to the
function.
There is at least one follow up patch required.
- R_ARM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_CALL may do interworking via BL/BLX
substitution.
In theory range-extension thunks can be altered to not change state when
the symbol type is not STT_FUNC. I will need to check with ld.bfd to see if
this is the case in practice.

In a -no-pie/-pie link, if func is not defined in the executable, a canonical PLT entry (st_value>0, st_shndx=0) will be needed.
References to func in shared objects will be resolved to this address.
-fno-pie -pie should fail with "can't create dynamic relocation ... against ...", so we just need to think about -no-pie.
On x86, the PLT entry passes the JMP_SLOT offset to the rtld PLT resolver.
On x86-64: the PLT entry passes the JUMP_SLOT index to the rtld PLT resolver.
On ARM/AArch64: the PLT entry passes &.got.plt[n]. The PLT header passes &.got.plt[fixed-index]. The rtld PLT resolver can compute the JUMP_SLOT index from the two addresses.
For these targets, the canonical PLT entry can just reuse the regular PLT entry (in PltSection).
On PPC32: PltSection (.glink) consists of `b PLTresolve` instructions and `PLTresolve`. The rtld PLT resolver depends on r11 having been set up to the .plt (GotPltSection) entry.
On PPC64 ELFv2: PltSection (.glink) consists of `__glink_PLTresolve` and `bl __glink_PLTresolve`. The rtld PLT resolver depends on r12 having been set up to the .plt (GotPltSection) entry.
We cannot reuse a `b PLTresolve`/`bl __glink_PLTresolve` in PltSection as a canonical PLT entry. PPC64 ELFv2 avoids the problem by using TOC for any external reference, even in non-pic code, so the canonical PLT entry scenario should not happen in the first place.
For PPC32, we have to create a PLT call stub as the canonical PLT entry. The code sequence sets up r11.

Third part in series to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization
Enablement, see RFC here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
This patch adds type test metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
even for classes without hidden visibility. It then changes WPD to skip
devirtualization for a virtual function call when any of the compatible
vtables has public vcall visibility.
Additionally, internal LLVM options as well as lld and gold-plugin
options are added which enable upgrading all public vcall visibility
to linkage unit (hidden) visibility during LTO. This enables the more
aggressive WPD to kick in based on LTO time knowledge of the visibility
guarantees.
Support was added to all flavors of LTO WPD (regular, hybrid and
index-only), and to both the new and old LTO APIs.
Unfortunately it was not simple to split the first and second parts of
this part of the change (the unconditional emission of type tests and
the upgrading of the vcall visiblity) as I needed a way to upgrade the
public visibility on legacy WPD llvm assembly tests that don't include
linkage unit vcall visibility specifiers, to avoid a lot of test churn.
I also added a mechanism to LowerTypeTests that allows dropping type
test assume sequences we now aggressively insert when we invoke
distributed ThinLTO backends with null indexes, which is used in testing
mode, and which doesn't invoke the normal ThinLTO backend pipeline.
Depends on D71907 and D71911.

The --fix-cortex-a8 is sensitive to alignment and the precise destination
of branch instructions. These are not knowable at relocatable link time. We

Add new method getFirstInputSection and use instead of getInputSections
where appropriate to avoid creation of an unneeded vector of input
sections.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D73047
The INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS linker script command is used to constrain the
section pattern matching to sections that match certain combinations of
flags.
There are two ways to express the constraint.
withFlags: Section must have these flags.
withoutFlags: Section must not have these flags.
The syntax of the command is:
INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS '(' sect_flag_list ')'
sect_flag_list: NAME
| sect_flag_list '&' NAME
Where NAME matches a section flag name such as SHF_EXECINSTR, or the
integer value of a section flag. If the first character of NAME is ! then
it means must not contain flag.
We do not support the rare case of { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS(flags) filespec }
where filespec has no input section description like (.text).
As an example from the ld man page:
SECTIONS {
.text : { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS (SHF_MERGE & SHF_STRINGS) *(.text) }
.text2 : { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS (!SHF_WRITE) *(.text) }
}
.text will match sections called .text that have both the SHF_MERGE and
SHF_STRINGS flag.
.text2 will match sections called .text that don't have the SHF_WRITE flag.
The flag names accepted are the generic to all targets and SHF_ARM_PURECODE
as it is very useful to filter all the pure code sections into a single
program header that can be marked execute never.

Summary:
Unlike R_RISCV_RELAX, which is a linker hint, R_RISCV_ALIGN requires the
support of the linker even when ignoring all R_RISCV_RELAX relocations.
This is because the compiler emits as many NOPs as may be required for
the requested alignment, more than may be required pre-relaxation, to
allow for the target becoming more unaligned after relaxing earlier
sequences. This means that the target is often not initially aligned in
the object files, and so the R_RISCV_ALIGN relocations cannot just be
ignored. Since we do not support linker relaxation, we must turn these
into errors.

In D71281 a fix was put in to round up the size of a ThunkSection to the
nearest 4KiB when performing errata patching. This fixed a problem with a
very large instrumented program that had thunks and patches mutually
trigger each other. Unfortunately it triggers an assertion failure in an
AArch64 allyesconfig build of the kernel. There is a specific assertion
preventing an InputSectionDescription being larger than 4KiB. This will
always trigger if there is at least one Thunk needed in that
InputSectionDescription, which is possible for an allyesconfig build.
Abstractly the problem case is:
.text : {
*(.text) ;
...
. = ALIGN(SZ_4K);
__idmap_text_start = .;
*(.idmap.text)
__idmap_text_end = .;
...
}
The assertion checks that __idmap_text_end - __idmap_start is < 4 KiB.
Note that there is more than one InputSectionDescription in the
OutputSection so we can't just restrict the fix to OutputSections smaller
than 4 KiB.
The fix presented here limits the D71281 to InputSectionDescriptions that
meet the following conditions:
1.) The OutputSection is bigger than the thunkSectionSpacing so adding
thunks will affect the addresses of following code.
2.) The InputSectionDescription is larger than 4 KiB. This will prevent
any assertion failures that an InputSectionDescription is < 4 KiB
in size.
We do this at ThunkSection creation time as at this point we know that
the addresses are stable and up to date prior to adding the thunks as
assignAddresses() will have been called immediately prior to thunk
generation.
The fix reverts the two tests affected by D71281 to their original state
as they no longer need the 4KiB size roundup. I've added simpler tests to
check for D71281 when the OutputSection size is larger than the ThunkSection
spacing.

`{clang,gcc} -nostdlib -r a.c` passes --dynamic-linker to the linker,
and the expected behavior is to ignore it.
If .interp is kept in the relocatable object file, a final link will get
PT_INTERP even if --dynamic-linker is not specified. glibc ld.so expects
to see PT_DYNAMIC and the executable will likely fail to run.
Ignore --dynamic-linker in -r mode as well as -shared.
ThunkSection contains 4-byte instructions on all targets that use
thunks. Thunks should not be used in any performance sensitive places,
and locality/cache line/instruction fetching arguments should not apply.
We use 16 bytes as preferred function alignments for modern PowerPC cores.
In any case, 8 is not optimal.

Moved the section name check ahead of any filename matching or

secondly, reduces the amount of potentially expensive filename pattern

The impact of this change is particularly significant when linking

Non-preemptible IFUNC are placed in in.iplt (.glink on EM_PPC64). If
there is a non-GOT non-PLT relocation, for pointer equality, we change
the type of the symbol from STT_IFUNC and STT_FUNC and bind it to the
.glink entry.
On EM_386, EM_X86_64, EM_ARM, and EM_AARCH64, the PLT code sequence
loads the address from its associated .got.plt slot. An IPLT also has an
associated .got.plt slot and can use the same code sequence.
On EM_PPC64, the PLT code sequence is actually a bl instruction in
.glink . It jumps to `__glink_PLTresolve` (the PLT header). and
`__glink_PLTresolve` computes the .plt slot (relocated by
R_PPC64_JUMP_SLOT).
An IPLT does not have an associated R_PPC64_JUMP_SLOT, so we cannot use
`bl` in .iplt . Instead, create a call stub which has a similar code
sequence as PPC64PltCallStub. We don't save the TOC pointer, so such
scenarios will not work: a function pointer to a non-preemptible ifunc,
which resolves to a function defined in another DSO. This is the
restriction described by https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/GNU_IFUNC
(though on many architectures it works in practice):
Requirement (a): Resolver must be defined in the same translation unit as the implementations.
If an ifunc is taken address but not called, technically we don't need
an entry for it, but we currently do that.

On some edge cases such as Chromium compiled with full instrumentation we
have a .text section over twice the size of the maximum branch range and
the instrumented code generation containing many examples of the erratum
sequence. The combination of Thunks and many erratum sequences causes
finalizeAddressDependentContent() to not converge. We end up with:
start
- Thunk Creation (disturbs addresses after thunks, creating more patches)
- Patch Creation (disturbs addresses after patches, creating more thunks)
- goto start
In most images with few thunks and patches the mutual disturbance does not
cause convergence problems. As the .text size and number of patches go up
the risk increases.
A way to prevent the thunk creation from interfering with patch creation is
to round up the size of the thunks to a 4KiB boundary when the
erratum patch is enabled. As the erratum sequence only triggers when an
instruction sequence starts at 0xff8 or 0xffc modulo (4 KiB) by making the
thunks not affect addresses modulo (4 KiB) we prevent thunks from
interfering with the patch.
The patches themselves could be aggregated in the same way that Thunks are
within ThunkSections and we could round up the size in the same way. This
would reduce the number of patches created in a .text section size >
128 MiB but would not likely help convergence problems.

replaceWithDefined is used by canonical PLT and copy relocations, which
imply that the symbol is preemptable. ppc64BranchltIndex is only used by
non-preemptable cases, and it can only be the default value in
replaceWithDefined.
The .note.gnu.property SHT_NOTE sections on AArch64 (a 64-bit target)
should have alignment 8 to more closely match the binutils implementation
where alignment is 4-bytes on 32-bit machines and 8-bytes on 64-bit
machines.
Previously LLD was using 4 for both 32-bit and 64-bit machines.

The PT_GNU_PROPERTY program header describes the location of the
.note.gnu.property SHT_NOTES section. The linux kernel uses this program
header to find the .note.gnu.property section rather than parsing.
Executables that have properties that the kernel needs to act on that don't
have the PT_GNU_PROPERTY program header will not boot.

Fixes AArch64 part of PR40438
The current range extension thunk framework does not handle a relocation
relative to a STT_SECTION symbol with a non-zero addend, which may be
used by jumps/calls to local functions on some RELA targets (AArch64,
powerpc ELFv1, powerpc64 ELFv2, etc). See PR40438 and the following
code for examples:
// clang -target $target a.cc
// .text.cold may be placed in a separate output section.
// The distance between bar in .text.cold and foo in .text may be larger than 128MiB.
static void foo() {}
__attribute__((section(".text.cold"))) static int bar() { foo(); return
0; }
__attribute__((used)) static int dummy = bar();
This patch makes such thunks with addends work for AArch64. The target
independent part can be reused by PPC in the future.
On REL targets (ARM, MIPS), jumps/calls are not represented as
STT_SECTION + non-zero addend (see
MCELFObjectTargetWriter::needsRelocateWithSymbol), so they don't need
this feature, but we need to make sure this patch does not affect them.

ThunkCreator::getThunk and ThunkCreator::normalizeExistingThunk
currently assume that the implicit addends are -8 for ARM and -4 for
Thumb. In D70637, ThunkCreator::getThunk will need to take care of the
relocation addend explicitly.
Add the utility function getPCBias() as a prerequisite so that the getThunk change in D70637
can be more general.

D62381 introduced forEachSymbol(). It seems that many call sites cannot
be parallelized because the body shared some states. Replace
forEachSymbol with iterator_range<filter_iterator<...>> symbols() to
simplify code and improve debuggability (std::function calls take some
frames).
It also allows us to use early return to simplify code added in D69650.

Currently LLD always use zlib compression level 6.
This patch changes it to use 1 for -O0, -O1 and 6 for -O2.
It fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44089.
There was also a thread in llvm-dev on this topic:
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-August/125020.html
Here is a table with results of building clang mentioned there:
```

1 0m31.471s 922618584 Z_BEST_SPEED

It shows that it is probably not reasonable to use values greater than 6.

In GNU ld, -Ttext sets the address of the .text section and -Ttext-segment sets the address of the text segment (RX).
gold only supports the -Ttext-segment semantic and treats -Ttext as an alias for -Ttext-segment.
lld only supports the -Ttext semantic and treats -Ttext-segment as an
alias for -Ttext. The text segment will be assigned to an address less
than the specified -Ttext-segment value.
This patch drops the -Ttext-segment alias.
The text segment is traditionally the first segment. Users who specify
-Ttext-segment may actually want to specify --image-base, the lld way to
express this. Unfortunately currently this is supported by GNU ld's
COFF port but not by its ELF port. gold does not support this option.
With -z separate-code, the behavior of GNU ld -Ttext-segment is weird (see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25207)
rL289827 introduced the alias for linking qemu's non-pie user mode
binaries. As explained previously, this actually assigns the text
segment to an address less than 0x60000000. I feel that a better fix is
on the qemu side:

Remove the lld::enableColors function, as it just obscures which
stream it's affecting, and replace with explicit calls to the stream's
enable_colors.
Also, assign the stderrOS and stdoutOS globals first in link function,
just to ensure nothing might use them.
(Either change individually fixes the issue of using the old
stream, but both together seems best.)
Follow-up to b11386f9be.

Summary:
Current versions of clang would erroneously emit this relocation not only
against functions (loaded from the GOT) but also against data symbols
(e.g. a table of function pointers). LLD was then changing this into a
branch-and-link instruction, causing the program to jump to the data
symbol at run time. I discovered this problem when attempting to boot
MIPS64 FreeBSD after updating the to the latest upstream master.

Based on D70020 by serge-sans-paille.
The ELF spec says:
> Furthermore, there may be internal references among these sections that would not make sense if one of the sections were removed or replaced by a duplicate from another object. Therefore, such groups must be included or omitted from the linked object as a unit. A section cannot be a member of more than one group.
GNU ld has 2 behaviors that we don't have:
- Group members (nextInSectionGroup != nullptr) are subject to garbage collection.
This includes non-SHF_ALLOC SHT_NOTE sections.
In particular, discarding non-SHF_ALLOC SHT_NOTE sections is an expected behavior by the Annobin
project. See
https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/02/20/annobin-storing-information-binaries/
for more information.
- Groups members are retained or discarded as a unit.
Members may have internal references that are not expressed as
SHF_LINK_ORDER, relocations, etc. It seems that we should be more conservative here:
if a section is marked live, mark all the other member within the
group.
Both behaviors are reasonable. This patch implements them.
A new field InputSectionBase::nextInSectionGroup tracks the next member
within a group. on ELF64, this increases sizeof(InputSectionBase) froms
144 to 152.
InputSectionBase::dependentSections tracks section dependencies, which
is used by both --gc-sections and /DISCARD/. We can't overload it for
the "next member" semantic, because we should allow /DISCARD/ to discard
sections independent of --gc-sections (GNU ld behavior). This behavior
may be reasonably used by `/DISCARD/ : { *(.ARM.exidx*) }` or `/DISCARD/
: { *(.note*) }` (new test `linkerscript/discard-group.s`).
