lld assumes some ARM features that are not available in all Arm
processors. In particular:
- The blx instruction present for interworking.
- The movt/movw instructions are used in Thunks.
- The J1=1 J2=1 encoding of branch immediates to improve Thumb wide
branch range are assumed to be present.
This patch reads the ARM Attributes section to check for the
architecture the object file was compiled with. If none of the objects
have an architecture that supports either of these features a warning
will be given. This is most likely to affect armv6 as used in the first
Raspberry Pi.

Currently we mark every shared symbol as STB_WEAK.
That is a hack to make it easy to decide when a .so is needed or not
because of a reference to a given symbol.
That hack leaks when we create copy relocations as shown by the update
to relocation-copy-alias.s.
This patch stores the original binding when we first read a shared
symbol. We still have to update the binding to weak if we see a weak
undef, but I find the logic easier to read where it is now.

With this change, instead of creating a SectionChunk for each section
in the object file, we only create them when we encounter a prevailing
comdat section.
Also change how symbol resolution occurs between comdat symbols. Now
only the comdat leader participates in comdat resolution, and not any
other external associated symbols. This is more in line with how COFF
semantics are defined, and should allow for a more straightforward
implementation of non-ANY comdat types.
On my machine, this change reduces our runtime linking a release

When an undefined weak reference has a PLT entry we must generate a range
extension thunk for any B or BL that can't reach the PLT entry.
This change explicitly looks for whether a PLT entry exists rather than
assuming that weak references never need PLT entries unless Config->Shared
is in operation. This covers the case where we are linking an executable
with dynamic linking, hence a PLT entry will be needed for undefined weak
references. This case comes up in real programs over 32 Mb in size as there
is a B to a weak reference __gmon__start__ in the Arm crti.o for glibc.

LLD uses .bss.rel.ro for read-only copy relocations whereas the ld.bfd and
gold linkers use .data.rel.ro. In some linker scripts including ld.bfd's
internal linker script, the relro sections are placed sequentially assuming
.data.rel.ro is used. LLD's use of .bss.rel.ro means that the copy
relocations get matched into the .bss section causing the relro sections to
be non-contiguous.
This change checks for a .data.rel.ro OutputSection when a linker script
with the SECTIONS command is used. The section will match in the
.data.rel.ro output section and will maintain contiguous relro.

When checking for contiguous relro sections we can skip over empty sections.
If there is an empty non-relro section in the middle of a contiguous block

then no PT_GNU_RELRO header is required for them.

If a linker script is used that names linker generated synthetic sections
it is possible that the OutputSections for which isRelroSection() is true

describe them with a single PT_GNU_RELRO PHDR. Unfortunately at least one
contemporary dynamic loader only supports one PT_GNU_RELRO PHDR so we
cannot output more than one of these PHDRs. As not including relro
sections in the PHDR will lead to security sensitive sections being

The MIPS GOT section has a number of local entries based on the number of pages
needed for output sections referenced by GOT page relocations. The number is
recorded in the DT_MIPS_LOCAL_GOTNO dynamic section tag. However, the dynamic tag
is added before assignAddresses has been called, meaning that any section size used
to calculate the value will not include size modifications caused by, for example,
linker scripts and thunks.
This change moves the calculation of DT_MIPS_LOCAL_GOTNO until writeTo, by which
time the output section sizes have been finalized.

Summary:
**Problem**
`--exclude-libs` does not work for static libraries affected by the `--whole-archive` option.
**Description**
`--exclude-libs` creates a list of static library paths and does library lookups in this list.
`--whole-archive` splits the static libraries that follow it into separate objects. As a result, lld no longer sees static libraries among linked files and does no `--exclude-libs` lookups.
**Solution**
The proposed solution is to make `--exclude-libs` consider object files too. When lld finds an object file it checks whether this file originates from an archive and, if so, looks the archive up in the `--exclude-libs` list.

The Android relocation packing format is a more compact

of the format can be found in the Android source code:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/refs/heads/master/tools/relocation_packer/src/delta_encoder.h
This patch implements relocation packing using that format.
This implementation uses a more intelligent algorithm for compressing
relative relocations than Android's own relocation packer. As a
result it can generally create smaller relocation sections than
that packer. If I link Chromium for Android targeting ARM32 I get a
.rel.dyn of size 174693 bytes, as compared to 371832 bytes with gold
