This patch implements a new design for the symbol table that stores
SymbolBodies within a memory region of the Symbol object. Symbols are mutated
by constructing SymbolBodies in place over existing SymbolBodies, rather
than by mutating pointers. As mentioned in the initial proposal [1], this
memory layout helps reduce the cache miss rate by improving memory locality.
Performance numbers:
old(s) new(s)
Without debug info:
chrome 7.178 6.432 (-11.5%)
LLVMgold.so 0.505 0.502 (-0.5%)
clang 0.954 0.827 (-15.4%)
llvm-as 0.052 0.045 (-15.5%)
With debug info:
scylla 5.695 5.613 (-1.5%)
clang 14.396 14.143 (-1.8%)
Performance counter results show that the fewer required indirections is
indeed the cause of the improved performance. For example, when linking
chrome, stalled cycles decreases from 14,556,444,002 to 12,959,238,310, and
instructions per cycle increases from 0.78 to 0.83. We are also executing
many fewer instructions (15,516,401,933 down to 15,002,434,310), probably
because we spend less time allocating SymbolBodies.
The new mechanism by which symbols are added to the symbol table is by calling
add* functions on the SymbolTable.
In this patch, I handle local symbols by storing them inside "unparented"
SymbolBodies. This is suboptimal, but if we do want to try to avoid allocating
these SymbolBodies, we can probably do that separately.
I also removed a few members from the SymbolBody class that were only being
used to pass information from the input file to the symbol table.
This patch implements the new design for the ELF linker only. I intend to
prepare a similar patch for the COFF linker.

The aim of this patch is to make it easy to re-run the command without
updating paths in the command line. Here is a use case.
Assume that Alice is having an issue with lld and is reporting the issue
to developer Bob. Alice's current directly is /home/alice/work and her
command line is "ld.lld -o foo foo.o ../bar.o". She adds "--reproduce repro"
to the command line and re-run. Then the following text will be produced as
response.txt (notice that the paths are rewritten so that they are
relative to /home/alice/work/repro.)
-o home/alice/work/foo home/alice/work/foo.o home/alice/bar.o
The command also produces the following files by copying inputs.
/home/alice/repro/home/alice/work/foo.o
/home/alice/repro/home/alice/bar.o
Alice zips the directory and send it to Bob. Bob get an archive from Alice
and extract it to his home directory as /home/bob/repro. Now his directory
have the following files.
/home/bob/repro/response.txt
/home/bob/repro/home/alice/work/foo.o
/home/bob/repro/home/alice/bar.o
Bob then re-run the command with these files by the following commands.
cd /home/bob/repro
ld.lld @response.txt
This command will run the linker with the same command line options and
the same input files as Alice's, so it is very likely that Bob will see
the same issue as Alice saw.

The semantics of the -u flag are to load the lazy symbol named by the flag. We
were previously relying on this behavior falling out of symbol resolution
against a synthetic undefined symbol, but that didn't quite give us the
correct behavior, so we needed a flag to mark symbols created with -u so
we could treat them specially in the writer. However, it's simpler and less
error prone to implement the required behavior directly and remove the flag.
This fixes an issue where symbols loaded with -u would receive hidden
visibility even when the definition in an object file had wider visibility.

When --reproduce <path> is given, then we need to concatenate input
file paths to the given path to save input files to the directory.
Previously, path concatenation didn't handle Windows drive letters

handle ".." path components, so it could produce some bad paths

You can instruct the linker to not discard sections even if they
are unused and --gc-sections option is given. The linker script
command for doing that is KEEP. The syntax is KEEP(foo) where foo
is a section name. KEEP commands are written in SECTIONS command,
so you can specify the order of sections *and* which sections
will be kept.
Each sub-command in SECTIONS command are translated into SectionRule
object. Previously, each SectionRule has `Keep` bit. However,
if you think about it, this hid information in too deep in elements
of a list. Semantically, KEEP commands aren't really related to
SECTIONS subcommands. We can keep the section list for KEEP in a
separate list. This patch does that.
llvm-svn: 267065
Since there is a copy in every translation unit that uses them, they can
be omitted from the symbol table if the address is not significant.
This still doesn't catch as many cases as the gold plugin. The
difference is that we check canBeOmittedFromSymbolTable in each file and
use lazy loading which limits what it can do. Gold checks it in the merged file.
I think the correct way of getting the same results as gold is just to
cache in the IR the result of canBeOmittedFromSymbolTable.

Rafael reported on the mailing list that this reduces peak memory
usage while linking llvm-as by 15%. It makes sense to make it

llvm-svn: 267020
The gold plugin logic for common symbols is a little bit convoluted
as the plugin API has not an explicit way to update the alignment.
In gold, then, we need to keep the bitcode symbol @a around because
that's the only way to get the alignment right in the final object.
In lld, this is not true. We already have all the informations we
need about common symbols (size/alignment) so we don't have to
keep the existing symbol and pass it to the mover.

MIPS ABI turns using of GOT and dynamic relocations inside out. While
regular ABI uses dynamic relocations to fill up GOT entries MIPS ABI
requires dynamic linker to fills up GOT entries using specially sorted
dynamic symbol table. This affects even dynamic relocations against
symbols which do not require GOT entries creation explicitly, i.e. do
not have any GOT-relocations. So if a preemptible symbol has a dynamic
relocation we anyway have to create a GOT entry for it.
If a non-preemptible symbol has a dynamic relocation against it, dynamic
linker takes it st_value, adds offset and writes down result of the
dynamic relocation. In case of preemptible symbol dynamic linker
performs symbol resolution, writes the symbol value to the GOT entry and
reads the GOT entry when it needs to perform a dynamic relocation.

We need to ensure that the address of an undefined weak symbol evaluates to
zero. We were getting this right for non-PIC executables (where the symbol
can be evaluated directly) and for DSOs (where we emit a symbolic relocation

With this patch we use the first scan over the relocations to remember
the information we found about them: will them be relaxed, will a plt be
used, etc.
With that the actual relocation application becomes much simpler. That
is particularly true for the interfaces in Target.h.
This unfortunately means that we now do two passes over relocations for
non SHF_ALLOC sections. I think this can be solved by factoring out the
code that scans a single relocation. It can then be used both as a scan
that record info and for a dedicated direct relocation of non SHF_ALLOC
sections.
I also think it is possible to reduce the number of enum values by
representing a target with just an OutputSection and an offset (which
can be from the start or end).
This should unblock adding features like relocation optimizations.

null entries at the end of the section, which confused consumers of unwind

start-lib and end-lib are options to link object files in the same

Where Clang's AArch64 backend seems to differ from the X86 backend is
that it tends to use the GOT more aggressively.
After getting CloudABI PIEs working on x86-64, I noticed that accessing
global variables would still crash on aarch64. Tracing it down, it turns
out that the GOT was filled with entries assuming the base address was
zero.
It turns out that we skip generating relocations for GOT entries in case
the relocation pointing towards the GOT is relative. Whether the thing
pointing to the GOT is absolute or relative shouldn't make any
difference; the GOT entry itself should contain the absolute address,
thus needs a relocation regardless.

For each copy relocation that we create, look through the DSO's symbol table

Copy relocations are relatively uncommon (on my machine, 56% of binaries in

Our symbol representation was redundant, and some times would get out of
sync. It had an Elf_Sym, but some fields were copied to SymbolBody.
Different parts of the code were checking the bits in SymbolBody and
others were checking Elf_Sym.
There are two general approaches to fix this:
* Copy the required information and don't store and Elf_Sym.
* Don't copy the information and always use the Elf_Smy.
The second way sounds tempting, but has a big problem: we would have to
template SymbolBody. I started doing it, but it requires templeting
*everything* and creates a bit chicken and egg problem at the driver
where we have to find ELFT before we can create an ArchiveFile for
example.
As much as possible I compared the test differences with what gold and
bfd produce to make sure they are still valid. In most cases we are just
adding hidden visibility to a local symbol, which is harmless.
In most tests this is a small speedup. The only slowdown was scylla

inside the verifier. I think it's always a bug producing a module
which does not pass the verifier but there are some cases in which
people can live with the broken module (e.g. if only DebugInfo
metadata are broken). The gold plugin has something similar.
This commit is motivated by a situation I found in the
wild. It seems that somebody else discovered it independently
and reported in PR24923.

We already got this right, but it never hurts adding another
test, in case we'll change the handling in the future, to ensure
we don't break it.

Currently we create a file called .lto.bc. In UNIX,
ls(1) by default doesn't show up files starting with
a dot, as they're (only by convention) hidden.
This makes the output of -save-temps a little bit
hard to find. Use "a.out.lto.bc" instead if the
output file is not specified.
While here, change an existing -save-temps test to
exercise this more interesting behaviour.

If a symbol is defined in an archive, when we replace its body
the isUsedInRegularObj wasn't set correctly. Internalize makes
its decision based on that bit so we ended up internalizing
symbols that we shouldn't (because they're referenced).
This should fix. Thanks to Peter and Rafael for discussion
and help diagnosing the issue!
Found during LTO of unittests.

This fixes bootstrap of llvm-tblgen (with LTO) and PR27150.
Slightly longer explanation follows.
Emission of .init_array instead of .ctors is supported only on a
subset of the Target LLVM supports. Codegen needs to be conservative
and always emit .ctors unless instructed otherwise (based on target).
If the dynamic linker sees .init_array it completely ignores
what's inside .ctors and therefore some constructors are not called
(and this causes llvm-tblgen to crash on startup).
Teach LLD/LTO about the Codegen options so we end up always emitting
.init_array and avoid this issue.
In future, we might end up supporting mix of .ctors and .init_array
in different input files if this shows up as a real-world use case.
The way gold handles this case is mapping .ctors from input into
.init_array in output. There's also another caveat because
as far as I understand .ctors run in reverse order so when we do
the copy/mapping we need to reverse copy in the output if there's
more than one ctor. That's why I'd rather avoid this complicate logic
unless there's a real need.
An analogous reasoning holds for .dtors/.fini_array.

Some targets might require creation of thunks. For example, MIPS targets
require stubs to call PIC code from non-PIC one. The patch implements
infrastructure for thunk code creation and provides support for MIPS
LA25 stubs. Any MIPS PIC code function is invoked with its address
in register $t9. So if we have a branch instruction from non-PIC code
to the PIC one we cannot make the jump directly and need to create a small
stub to save the target function address.
See page 3-38 ftp://www.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/mipsabi.pdf
- In relocation scanning phase we ask target about thunk creation necessity
by calling `TagetInfo::needsThunk` method. The `InputSection` class
maintains list of Symbols requires thunk creation.
- Reassigning offsets performed for each input sections after relocation
scanning complete because position of each section might change due
thunk creation.
- The patch introduces new dedicated value for DefinedSynthetic symbols
DefinedSynthetic::SectionEnd. Synthetic symbol with that value always
points to the end of the corresponding output section. That allows to
escape updating synthetic symbols if output sections sizes changes after
relocation scanning due thunk creation.
- In the `InputSection::writeTo` method we write thunks after corresponding
input section. Each thunk is written by calling `TargetInfo::writeThunk` method.
- The patch supports the only type of thunk code for each target. For now,
it is enough.

We have to check the final value that is written.
I don't think this has any real word implications (unless something
supports unaligned instructions), but unblocks simplifying the handling
of PC relative relocations.

If we make R_MIPS_LO16 a relative relocation, linker:
- never creates R_MIPS_COPY relocation for it
- attempts to create R_MIPS_REL32 dynamic relocation if R_MIPS_LO16's
target is a preemptible symbol

Windows seems to complain that the file cannot be removed because
it is still in use. We don't have to remove the file but instead
just overwrite it, so do that.

gold and bfd do not include the undefined locals in symtab.

Local symbol which requires GOT entry initialized by "page" address.
This address is high 16 bits of sum of the symbol value and the relocation
addend. In the relocation scanning phase final values of symbols are unknown
so to reduce number of allocated GOT entries do the following trick. Save
all output sections referenced by GOT relocations during the relocation
scanning phase. Then later in the `GotSection::finalize` method calculate
number of "pages" required to cover all saved output sections and allocate
appropriate number of GOT entries. We assume the worst case - each 64kb
page of the output section has at least one GOT relocation against it.

Some optimizations, e.g. SimplifyLibCalls, can replace functions with
others as part of the lowering, e.g. printf => puts.
The new symbols don't have the isUsedInRegularObj flag set so they
don't get included in the final symbol table (and dynamic symbol
table), and the dynamic linker gets confused. Include them as a fix.

IPO doesn't work very well across symbols referenced
by others TUs. The linker here tries to evaluate
which symbols are safe to internalize and switches

Ensure we keep the symbol we need to before it reaches
the Writer (and hit an assertion), changing its linkage
from linkonce_odr to weak. For a more detailed description
of the problem, see PR19901 where a similar problem was
fixed for the gold plugin. Thanks to Rafael for providing
a testcase.

When a tls access is optimized, a group of relocations is converted at a
time.
We were already skipping relocations that were optimized out in
relocate, but not in scanRelocs.
This is a small optimization. I got here while working on a patch that
will always keep scanRelocs and relocate in sync.
