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.
The .eh_frame is in theory affected by this problem, but I don't think that
there is a dangling reference problem that can happen with these sections.

Essentially takes the lld/Common/Threads.h wrappers and moves them to
the llvm/Support/Paralle.h algorithm header.
The changes are:
- Remove policy parameter, since all clients use `par`.
- Rename the methods to `parallelSort` etc to match LLVM style, since
they are no longer C++17 pstl compatible.
- Move algorithms from llvm::parallel:: to llvm::, since they have
"parallel" in the name and are no longer overloads of the regular
algorithms.
- Add range overloads
- Use the sequential algorithm directly when 1 thread is requested
(skips task grouping)
- Fix the index type of parallelForEachN to size_t. Nobody in LLVM was
using any other parameter, and it made overload resolution hard for
for_each_n(par, 0, foo.size(), ...) because 0 is int, not size_t.

Sections with the SHF_LINK_ORDER flag must be ordered in the same relative
order as the Sections they have a link to. When using a linker script an
arbitrary expression may be used for the virtual address of the
OutputSection. In some cases the virtual address does not monotonically
increase as the OutputSection index increases, so if we base the ordering

wrong. We fix this by moving SHF_LINK_ORDER resolution till after we have

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

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

GROUP ( /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm-2.29.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmvec.a )

Another example is to make libc++.a a linker script:

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

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).
Instead of warning immediately, we store the message and only report it

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.

PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__init_array_start = .);
KEEP (*(.init_array))
PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__init_array_end = .);
}
The C-library will take references to the _start and _end symbols to
process the array. This will make LLD keep the OutputSection even if there
are no .init_array sections. As the current check for RELRO uses the
section type for .init_array the above example with no .init_array
InputSections fails the checks as there are no .init_array sections to give
the OutputSection a type of SHT_INIT_ARRAY. This often leads to a
non-contiguous RELRO error message.
The simple fix is to a textual section match as well as a section type
match.

As of a while ago, lld groups all undefined references to a single
symbol in a single diagnostic. Back then, I made it so that we
print up to 10 references to each undefined symbol.
Having used this for a while, I never wished there were more
references, but I sometimes found that this can print a lot of
output. lld prints up to 10 diagnostics by default, and if
each has 10 references (which I've seen in practice), and each
undefined symbol produces 2 (possibly very long) lines of output,
that's over 200 lines of error output.
Let's try it with just 3 references for a while and see how
that feels in practice.
