This is GNU ELF linker extension used particularly by LibC code.
If input object files contain section named XXX, and the XXX is a valid C
identifier, and there are undefined or weak symbols __start_XXX/__stop_XXX,
linker should define __start_XXX/__stop_XXX symbols point to the begin/end
of the XXX section correspondingly.
For example, without support of this extension statically linked executables
for X86_64 and Mips (maybe other) targets do not flush IO buffers at the end
of executing.

This patch adds initial general-dynamic TLS support for AArch64. Currently
no optimization is done to realx for more performance-wise models (initial-exec
or local-exec). This patch also only currently handles correctly executable
generation, although priliminary DSO support through PLT specific creation
is also added.
With this change clang/llvm bootstrap with lld is possible in static configuration
(some DSO creation fails due missing Linker script support, not AArch64 specific),
although make check also shows some issues.

Some compilers may not add the section symbol in '.symtab' for the
.init_array and 'ldd' just ignore it. It results in global constructor
not being called in final executable.
This patch add both '.init_array' and '.fini_array' to be added in
Atom graph generation even when the section contains no symbol. An
already existing testcase is modified to check for such scenario.
The issue fixes the llvm test-suite regressions for both Single
and MultiSource files.

Current approach for initial-exec in ELF/x86_64 is to create a GOT entry
and change the relocation to R_X86_64_PC32 to be handled as a GOT offfset.
However there are two issues with this approach: 1. the R_X86_64_PC32 is
not really required since the GOT relocation will be handle dynamically and
2. the TLS symbols are not being exported externally and then correct
realocation are not being applied.
This patch fixes the R_X86_64_GOTTPOFF handling by just emitting a
R_X86_64_TPOFF64 dynamically one; it also sets R_X86_64_TPOFF64 to be
handled by runtime one. For second part, the patches uses a similar
strategy used for aarch64, by reimplementing buildDynamicSymbolTable
from X86_64ExecutableWriter and adding the TLS symbols in the dynamic
symbol table.
Some tests had to be adjusted due the now missing R_X86_64_PC32 relocation.
With this test the simple testcase:
* t1.c:
__thread int t0;
__thread int t1;
__thread int t2;
__thread int t3;
* t0.c:
extern __thread int t0;
extern __thread int t1;
extern __thread int t2;
extern __thread int t3;
__thread int t4;
__thread int t5;
__thread int t6;
__thread int t7;
int main ()
{
t0 = 1;
t1 = 2;
t2 = 3;
t3 = 4;
t4 = 5;
t5 = 6;
t6 = 7;
t7 = 8;
printf ("%i %i %i %i\n", t0, t1, t2, t3);
printf ("%i %i %i %i\n", t4, t5, t6, t7);
return 0;
}
Shows correct output for x86_64.

This patch fixes the wrong .tbss segment size generated for cases where
multiple modules have non initialized threads variables. For instance:
* t0.c
__thread int x0;
__thread int x1;
__thread int x2;
extern __thread int e0;
extern __thread int e1;
extern __thread int e2;
extern __thread int e3;
int foo0 ()
{
return x0;
}
int main ()
{
return x0;
}
* t1.c
__thread int e0;
__thread int e1;
__thread int e2;
__thread int e3;
lld is generating (for aarch64):
[14] .tbss NOBITS 0000000000401000 00001000
0000000000000010 0000000000000000 WAT 0 0 4
Where is just taking in consideration the largest tbss segment, not all
from all objects. ld generates a correct output:
[17] .tbss NOBITS 0000000000410dec 00000dec
000000000000001c 0000000000000000 WAT 0 0 4
This issue is at 'lib/ReaderWriter/ELF/SegmentChunks.cpp' where
Segment<ELFT>::assignVirtualAddress is setting wrong slice values, not taking care
of although tbss segments file size does noy play role in other segment virtual
address placement, its size should still be considered.
llvm-svn: 239906
Add method to query segments for specified output section name.
Return error if the section is assigned to unknown segment.
Check matching of sections to segments during layout on the subject of correctness.
NOTE: no actual functionality of using custom segments is implemented.

This test case uses too large addends in relocations. Now the test is correct.
Later we need to implement overflow checking to catch such cases.
llvm-svn: 239177
For some reason llvm's r239045 made lld propagate data_1's size. This indicates
a bug somewhere in lld.
I hesitated between changing the test or just checking in a .o produced with
the old llvm-mc. Since the size is now correct, it seemed better to update the
test.

This patch fixes the TLS initial executable for AArch64. Current
implementation have two issues: 1. does not generate dynamic
R_AARCH64_TLS_TPREL64 relocation for the external module symbols,
and 2. does not export the TLS initial executable symbol in dynamic
symbol table.
The fix follows the MIPS strategy to add a arch-specific GOTSection
class to keep track of TLS symbols required to be place in dynamic
symbol table. It also overrides the buildDynamicSymbolTable for
ExecutableWrite class to add the symbols.
It also adds some refactoring on AArch64RelocationPass.cpp based on ARM
backend.

This patch fixes the TLS local relocations alignment done by @238258.
As pointed out, the TLS size should not be considered, but rather the
TCB size based on maximum output segment alignment. Although it has
not shown in the TLS simple cases for test-suite, more comprehensible
tests with more local TLS variable showed wrong relocations values
being generated.
The local TLS testcase is expanded to add more tls variable (both
exported and static) initialized or not.

We do not need to merge ELF flags from DSO. But `isCompatible` is called
for all input files. So this change move ELF flags merging into the
MipsELFFile class.
llvm-svn: 238304
This patch fixes the R_AARCH64_TLSLE_ADD_TPREL_HI12 and R_AARCH64_TLSLE_ADD_TPREL_LO12_NC
handling by using the correct offset by using the target layout along with
aarch64 alignments requirements.
It fixes the TLS test-suite SingleSource failures for aarch64:
* SingleSource/UnitTests/Threads/2010-12-08-tls.execution_time
* SingleSource/UnitTests/Threads/tls.execution_time

Original patch of Shankar Easwaran with additional test case.
The yaml2obj does not allow to create an object file with non-unique
sections names so the fix uses a binary input object file in the test
case.
llvm-svn: 238115
These two serve different purpose:
PLTGOT entries are (usually) lazily resolved and serve as trampolines
to correctly call dynamically linked functions. They often have
R_*_JUMP_SLOT dynamic relocation type used.
Simple GOT entries hold other things, one of them may be
R_*_GLOB_DAT to correctly reference global and static data. This
is also used to hold dynamically linked function's address.
To properly handle cases when shared object's function is called
and at the same time its address is taken, we need to be able to have
both GOT and PLTGOT entries bearing different dynamic relocation types
for the same symbol.
llvm-svn: 238015
This is used when referencing global or static data in shared
objects. This is also used when function's address is taken and
function call is made indirectly.
