The aliased options in the --help output use double dashes. It is
inconsistent to have single-dashed messages. Additionally, -l and -t are
common short options and single-dashed forms prefixed with them can
cause confusion.
In most cases, LLD prints its multiline diagnostic messages starting
additional lines with ">>> ". That greatly helps external tools to parse
the output, simplifying combining several lines of the log back into one
message. The patch fixes the only message I found that does not follow
the common pattern.

When reporting an "undefined symbol" diagnostic:
* We don't print @ for the reference.
* We don't print @ or @@ for the definition. https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45318
This can lead to confusing diagnostics:
```
// foo may be foo@v2
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: foo
>>> referenced by t1.o:(.text+0x1)
// foo may be foo@v1 or foo@@v1
>>> did you mean: foo
>>> defined in: t.so
```
There are 2 ways a symbol in symtab may get truncated:
* A @@ definition may be truncated *early* by SymbolTable::insert().
The name ends with a '\0'.
* A @ definition/reference may be truncated *later* by Symbol::parseSymbolVersion().
The name ends with a '@'.
This patch detects the second case and improves the diagnostics. The first case is
not improved but the second case is sufficient to make diagnostics not confusing.

This matches the behaviour of the ELF driver.
Also move the `createFiles` to be `checkConfig` and report `no input

Summary:
This is the first commit for the new Mach-O backend, designed to roughly
follow the architecture of the existing ELF and COFF backends, and
building off work that @ruiu and @pcc did in a branch a while back. Note
that this is a very stripped-down commit with the bare minimum of
functionality for ease of review. We'll be following up with more diffs
soon.
Currently, we're able to generate a simple "Hello World!" executable
that runs on OS X Catalina (and possibly on earlier OS X versions; I
haven't tested them). (This executable can be obtained by compiling
`test/MachO/relocations.s`.) We're mocking out a few load commands to
achieve this -- for example, we can't load dynamic libraries, but
Catalina requires binaries to be linked against `dyld`, so we hardcode
the emission of a `LC_LOAD_DYLIB` command. Other mocked out load
commands include LC_SYMTAB and LC_DYSYMTAB.

--no-threads is a name copied from gold.
gold has --no-thread, --thread-count and several other --thread-count-*.
There are needs to customize the number of threads (running several lld
processes concurrently or customizing the number of LTO threads).
Having a single --threads=N is a straightforward replacement of gold's
--no-threads + --thread-count.
--no-threads is used rarely. So just delete --no-threads instead of
keeping it for compatibility for a while.
If --threads= is specified (ELF,wasm; COFF /threads: is similar),
--thinlto-jobs= defaults to --threads=,
otherwise all available hardware threads are used.
There is currently no way to override a --threads={1,2,...}. It is still
a debate whether we should use --threads=all.

The default GNU linker script uses the following idiom for the array
sections. I'll use .init_array here, but this also applies to
.preinit_array and .fini_array sections.
.init_array :
{
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.

The test had a few style issues, and I noticed a hole in the coverage
(namely that the search order wasn't tested). Adding cases for the hole
in turn meant other cases weren't important.
The .so test case isn't important, since the code is shared code, so
I've removed it. Additionally, I've modified the usage of the "bar"
directive to show that an unneeded library must still be present, or the

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.

Currently, `error: incompatible section flags for .rodata` is reported
when we mix SHF_LINK_ORDER and non-SHF_LINK_ORDER sections in an output section.
This is overconstrained. This patch allows mixed flags with the
requirement that SHF_LINK_ORDER sections must be contiguous. Mixing
flags is used by Linux aarch64 (https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/953)
.init.data : { ... KEEP(*(__patchable_function_entries)) ... }
When the integrated assembler is enabled, clang's -fpatchable-function-entry=N[,M]
implementation sets the SHF_LINK_ORDER flag (D72215) to fix a number of
garbage collection issues.
Strictly speaking, the ELF specification does not require contiguous
SHF_LINK_ORDER sections but for many current uses of SHF_LINK_ORDER like
.ARM.exidx/__patchable_function_entries there has been a requirement for
the sections to be contiguous on top of the requirements of the ELF
specification.
This patch also imposes one restriction: SHF_LINK_ORDER sections cannot
be separated by a symbol assignment or a BYTE command. Not allowing BYTE
is a natural extension that a non-SHF_LINK_ORDER cannot be a separator.
Symbol assignments can delimiter the contents of SHF_LINK_ORDER
sections. Allowing SHF_LINK_ORDER sections across symbol assignments
(especially __start_/__stop_) can make things hard to explain. The
restriction should not be a problem for practical use cases.

Before this patch, it wasn't possible to extend the ThinLTO threads to all SMT/CMT threads in the system. Only one thread per core was allowed, instructed by usage of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() in the ThinLTO code. Any number passed to the LLD flag /opt:lldltojobs=..., or any other ThinLTO-specific flag, was previously interpreted in the context of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency(), which means SMT disabled.
One can now say in LLD:
/opt:lldltojobs=0 -- Use one std::thread / hardware core in the system (no SMT). Default value if flag not specified.
/opt:lldltojobs=N -- Limit usage to N threads, regardless of usage of heavyweight_hardware_concurrency().
/opt:lldltojobs=all -- Use all hardware threads in the system. Equivalent to /opt:lldltojobs=$(nproc) on Linux and /opt:lldltojobs=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% on Windows. When an affinity mask is set for the process, threads will be created only for the cores selected by the mask.
When N > number-of-hardware-threads-in-the-system, the threads in the thread pool will be dispatched equally on all CPU sockets (tested only on Windows).
When N <= number-of-hardware-threads-on-a-CPU-socket, the threads will remain on the CPU socket where the process started (only on Windows).

MCInstPrinter::printInst has other callers (e.g llvm-mc -filetype=asm, llvm-mca) which set Address to 0.

This essentially drops the change by r288021 (discussed with Georgii Rymar
and Peter Smith and noted down in the release note of lld 10).
GNU ld>=2.31 enables -z separate-code by default for Linux x86. By
default (in the absence of a PHDRS command) a readonly PT_LOAD is
created, which is different from its traditional behavior.
Not emulating GNU ld's traditional behavior is good for us because it
improves code consistency (we create a readonly PT_LOAD in the absence
of a SECTIONS command).
Users can add --no-rosegment to restore the previous behavior (combined
readonly and read-executable sections in a single RX PT_LOAD).

With this change, suggested by Fangrui Song, we do

MCTargetOptionsCommandFlags.inc and CommandFlags.inc are headers which contain
cl::opt with static storage.
These headers are meant to be incuded by tools to make it easier to parametrize
codegen/mc.
However, these headers are also included in at least two libraries: lldCommon
and handle-llvm. As a result, when creating DYLIB, clang-cpp holds a reference
to the options, and lldCommon holds another reference. Linking the two in a
single executable, as zig does[0], results in a double registration.
This patch explores an other approach: the .inc files are moved to regular
files, and the registration happens on-demand through static declaration of
options in the constructor of a static object.
