Summary:
Is there any other code needed for correctly handling appending linkage?
Do we need to do something more with @llvm.global_ctors in
SymbolTable.cpp:addBitcodeFile; otherwise the combined bitcode module
won't have all the global ctors.

Summary:
This causes the issue in PR26872 to go away now that we aren't creating
symbols for the string literals, but that may just be concealing a
deeper problem, so best to keep that PR open.

It was a badly specified hack for when a tls relocation should be
propagated to the dynamic relocation table.
This replaces it with a not as bad hack of saying that a local dynamic
tls relocation is never preempted.
I will try to remove even that second hack in the next patch.

It was causing errors like
/lib/libc.so.6 is incompatible with elf_x86_64
when linking on Fedora.
Every system has different default paths. It seems better to just trust
the driver to pass the correct -L options.
This reverts commit 262910.

The variables corresponding to command line options are named mechanically.
Because the option for the variable is -noinhibit-exec and not -no-inhibit-exec,
it should be name this way.

This has a few advantages:
* If lld selected a non bitcode symbol, be the bitcode GV is not merged
* lib/Linker is not redoing symbol resolution.
llvm-svn: 262773
The rules for when we can relax tls relocations are target independent.
The only things that are target dependent are the relocation values.

SymbolBody constructor and friends take isFunc and isTLS boolean arguments.
ELF symbols have already a type so than be easily passed as argument.
If we want to support another type, this scheme is not good enough, that is,
the current code logic would require passing another `bool isObject` around.
Up to two argument, this stretching exercise was a little bit goofy but
still acceptable, but with more types to support, is just too much, IMHO.
Change the code so that the type is passed instead.

There was a known limitation for -r option:
relocations against local symbols were not supported.
For example rel[a].eh_frame sections contained relocations against sections
and that was not supported for -r before. Patch fixes that.

Now that DarwinLdDriver is the only derived class of Driver.
This patch merges them and actually removed the class because

The patch fixes two related problems:
- If CIE augmentation string has 'L' token the CIE contains a byte
defines LSDA encoding. We should skip this byte in `getFdeEncoding`
routine. Before this fix we do not skip it and if the next token
is 'R' treat this byte as FDE encoding.
- FDE encoding format has separate flags e.g. DW_EH_PE_pcrel for
definition of relative pointers. We should add .eh_frame address to
the PC value iif the DW_EH_PE_pcrel is specified.
http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/460
There is one more not fixed problem in this code. If PC value is encoded
using signed relative format e.g. DW_EH_PE_sdata4 | DW_EH_PE_pcrel we
should sign extend result of read32 to perform calculation correctly.
I am going to fix that in a separate patch.

CoreDriver implements a driver for a hypothetical platform.
It is intended to be used in unittests. However, it is actually
redundant because the features are tested using the real driver
for the real platforms. So we can remove this.

Because the class is used only by one instance, we do not have to

UniversalDriver was used as a dispatcher to each platform-specific driver.
It had its own Options.td file. It was not just too much to parse only a
few options (we only want to parse -core, -flavor or argv[0]),
but also interpreted arguments too early. For example, if you invoke lld as
"lld -flavor gnu ... -help", then you'd get the UniversalDriver's help
message instead of GnuDriver's. This patch eliminates the use of Options
from the dispatcher.

IIUC, range was an experiment to see how N3350 would work in LLD.
It turned out it didn't get traction, and it is basically duplicate
of iterator_range in ADT. We have only two occurrences of range,

Regarding the comment, it is out of context because it describes
what it does not do there. It got too long because it was originally
two different comments that were simply merged together.

BSD linker scripts contain special cases to add NOP
padding to code sections. Syntax is next:

It is said that:
_etext - The address of _etext is the first
location after the last read-only loadable segment.
_edata - The address of _edata is the first
location after the last read-write loadable segment.
_end - If the address of _edata is greater than the address
of _etext, the address of _end is same as the address of _edata.
In real life _end and _edata has different values for that case.
Both gold/bfd set _edata to the end of the last non SHT_NOBITS section.
This patch do the same for consistency.
It should fix the https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26729.

For shared libraries we allow any weak undefined symbol to eventually be
resolved, even if we never see a definition in another .so. This matches
the behavior when handling other undefined symbols in a shared library.
For executables, we require seeing a definition in a .so or resolve it
to zero. This is also similar to how non weak symbols are handled.

When this code was first added it was compensating for the code deciding
to create plt entries for directly referenced functions being too aggressive.
That has since been fixed, so we don't need this anymore.

R_MIPS_GOT16 relocation against local symbol requires index of a local
GOT entry which contains page address corresponds to sum of the symbol
address and addend. The addend in that case is calculated using addends
from the R_MIPS_GOT16 and paired R_MIPS_LO16 relocations.

This patch implements the same algorithm as LLD/COFF's ICF. I'm
not going to repeat the same description about how it works, so you
want to read the comment in ICF.cpp in this patch if you want to know
the details. This algorithm should be more powerful than the ICF
algorithm implemented in GNU gold. It can even merge mutually-recursive
functions (which is harder than one might think).
ICF is a fairly effective size optimization. Here are some examples.
LLD: 37.14 MB -> 35.80 MB (-3.6%)
Clang: 59.41 MB -> 57.80 MB (-2.7%)
The lacking feature is "safe" version of ICF. This merges all
identical sections. That is not compatible with a C/C++ language
requirement that two distinct functions must have distinct addresses.
But as long as your program do not rely on the pointer equality
(which is in many cases true), your program should work with the
feature. LLD works fine for example.
GNU gold implements so-called "safe ICF" that identifies functions
that are safe to merge by heuristics -- for example, gold thinks
that constructors are safe to merge because there is no way to
take an address of a constructor in C++. We have a different idea
which David Majnemer suggested that we add NOPs at beginning of
merged functions so that two or more pointers can have distinct
values. We can do whichever we want, but this patch does not
include neither.

This commit does two related thing. At first, it enumerates supported
absolute MIPS relocations in the `MipsTargetInfo<ELFT>::isRelRelative`
method. In that case the code is shorter and the case switch does not
tend to grow. At second, it prevents R_MIPS_COPY and PLT creation for
relative relocations. For almost all relative MIPS relocations like
R_MIPS_PC19_S2, R_MIPS_PCHI16 etc it does not have a sence. The only
exception is R_MIPS_PC32. GNU linker creates a copy relocation or PLT
entry for it. But I could not find any real test case uses R_MIPS_PC32
with DSO defined symbol as a target. So for now I prefer to skip this
case to simplify the LLD code.
llvm-svn: 261822
"Discarded" section is a marker for discarded sections, and we do not
use the instance except for checking its identity. In that sense, it
is just another type of a "null" pointer for InputSectionBase. So,
it doesn't have to be a real instance of InputSectionBase class.
In this patch, we no longer instantiate Discarded section but instead
use -1 as a pointer value. This eliminates a global variable which
needed initialization at startup.
llvm-svn: 261761
This is a preparation for ICF. If we merge two sections, we want to
align the merged section at the largest alignment requirement.
That means we want to update the alignment value, which was
impossible before this patch because Header is a const value.
