RoundTripPasses should always be called in DEBUG mode if the environment

Flavors should not be able to override this behavior.

This would allow other flavor specific contexts to override the default value,
if they want to optionally run the round trip passes.
There is some information lost like the original file owner of the atom with
RoundTripPasses. The Gnu flavor needs this information inorder to implement
LinkerScript matching and for other diagnostic outputs such as Map files.
The flag also can be used to record information in the Atom if the information
to the Writer needs to be conveyed through References too.

There are many build files in the wild that depend on the fact that
link.exe produces a PDB file if /DEBUG option is given. They fail
if the file is not created.
This patch is to make LLD create an empty (dummy) file to satisfy
such build targets. This doesn't do anything other than "touching"
the file.
If a target depends on the content of the PDB file, this workaround
is no help, of course. Otherwise this patch should help build some
stuff.

Mach-o does not use a simple SO_NEEDED to track dependent dylibs. Instead,
the linker copies four things from each dylib to each client: the runtime path
(aka "install name"), the build time, current version (dylib build number), and
compatibility version The build time is no longer used (it cause every rebuild
of a dylib to be different). The compatibility version is usually just 1.0
and never changes, or the dylib becomes incompatible.
This patch copies that information into the NormalizedMachO format and
propagates it to clients.

MIPS ELF symbols might contain some additional MIPS-specific flags
in the st_other field besides visibility ones. These flags indicate
code properties like microMIPS / MIPS16 encoding, position independent
code etc. We need to transfer the flags from input objects to the
output linked file to write them into the symbol table, adjust symbols
addresses etc.
I add new attribute CodeModel to the DefinedAtom class to hold target
specific flag and to get over YAML/Native format conversion barrier.
Other architectures/targets can extend CodeModel enumeration by their
own flags.
MIPS specific part of this patch adds support for STO_MIPS_MICROMIPS
flag. This flag marks microMIPS symbols. Such symbol should:
a) Has STO_MIPS_MICROMIPS in the corresponding .symtab record.
b) Has adjusted (odd) address in the corresponding .symtab
and .dynsym records.

On darwin in final linked images, the __TEXT segment covers that start of the
file. That means in memory a process can see the mach_header (and load commands)
for every loaded image in a process. There are APIs that take and return the
mach_header addresses as a way to specify a particular loaded image.
For completeness, any code can get the address of the mach_header of the image
it is in by using &__dso_handle. In addition there are mach-o type specific
symbols like __mh_execute_header.
The linker needs to supply a definition for any of these symbols if used. But
the address the symbol it resolves to is not in any section. Instead it is the
address of the start of the __TEXT segment.
I needed to make a small change to SimpleFileNode to not override
resetNextIndex() because the Driver creates a SimpleFileNode to hold the
internal/implicit files that the context/writer can create. For some reason
SimpleFileNode overrode resetNextIndex() to do nothing instead of reseting
the index (which mach-o needs if the internal file is an archive).

lld generates an ELF by adhering to the ELF spec by aligning vma/fileoffset to a

The darwin linker does not process dwarf debug info. Instead it produces a

anything that wants debug info (e.g. debugger).

not generate the debug map, so there is nothing to do when this option is used.
But we need to process the option to get existing projects building.

Darwin uses two-level-namespace lookup for symbols which means the static
linker records where each symbol must be found at runtime. Thus defining a

of type S_INTERPOSING which contains tuples of <interposer, interposee>.

This patch does *not* implement any semantic actions, but it is a first step to
teach LLD how to read complete linker scripts. The additional linker scripts
statements whose parsing is now supported are:
* SEARCH_DIR directive
* SECTIONS directive
* Symbol definitions inside SECTIONS including PROVIDE and PROVIDE_HIDDEN
* C-like expressions used in many places in linker scripts
* Input to output sections mapping
The goal of this commit was guided towards completely parsing a default GNU ld
linker script and the linker script used to link the FreeBSD kernel. Thus, it
also adds a test case based on the default linker script used in GNU ld for
x86_64 ELF targets. I tested SPEC userland programs linked by GNU ld, using the
linker script dump'ed by this parser, and everything went fine. I then tested
linking the FreeBSD kernel with a dump'ed linker script, installed the new
kernel and booted it, everything went fine.

There are two ways to specify a symbol to be exported in the module
definition file.
1) EXPORT <external name> = <symbol>
2) EXPORT <symbol>
In (1), you give both external name and internal name. In that case,
the linker tries to find a symbol using the internal name, and write
that address to the export table with the external name. Thus, from
the outer world, the symbol seems to be exported as the external name.
In (2), internal name is basically the same as the external name
with an exception: if you give an undecorated symbol to the EXPORT
directive, and if the linker finds a decorated symbol, the external
name for the symbol will become the decorated symbol.
LLD didn't implement that exception correctly. This patch fixes that.
llvm-svn: 220333
The darwin linker operates differently than the gnu linker with respect to
libraries. The darwin linker first links in all object files from the command
line, then to resolve any remaining undefines, it repeatedly iterates over
libraries on the command line until either all undefines are resolved or no
undefines were resolved in the last pass.
When Shankar made the InputGraph model, the plan for darwin was for the darwin
driver to place all libraries in a group at the end of the InputGraph. Thus
making the darwin model a subset of the gnu model. But it turns out that does
not work because the driver cannot tell if a file is an object or library until
it has been loaded, which happens later.
This solution is to subclass InputGraph for darwin and just iterate the graph
the way darwin linker needs.

Arm code has two instruction encodings "thumb" and "arm". When branching from
one code encoding to another, you need to use an instruction that switches
the instruction mode. Usually the transition only happens at call sites, and
the linker can transform a BL instruction in BLX (or vice versa). But if the
compiler did a tail call optimization and a function ends with a branch (not
branch and link), there is no pc-rel BX instruction.
The ShimPass looks for pc-rel B instructions that will need to switch mode.
For those cases it synthesizes a shim which does the transition, then modifies
the original atom with the B instruction to target to the shim atom.

When committed in r219353, this patch originally caused problems because it was
not tested in debug build. In such scenarios, Driver.cpp adds two additional
passes. These passes serialize all atoms via YAML and reads it back. Since the
patch changed ObjectAtom to hold a new reference, the serialization was removing
the extra data.
This commit implements r219853 in another way, similar to the original MIPS way,
by using a StringSet that holds the names of all copied atoms instead of
directly holding a reference to the copied atom. In this way, this commit is
simpler and eliminate the necessity of changing the DefinedAtom hierarchy to
hold a new data.

Enhances the creation of an ELF dynamic executable by avoiding recording
unnecessary shared libraries as NEEDED to load a program.
To do this, we must keep track of not only symbols that were referenced but
also of COPY relocations, which steal the symbol from a shared library but does
not store from which lib this symbol came from. To fix this, this commit changes
ObjectSymbol to store the original library from which this symbol came. With
this information, we are able to build a list of the exact shared libraries that
must be marked as DT_NEEDED, instead of blindly marking all shared libraries as
needed.
This logic originally came from the MIPS backend with some adaptation.

When creating a dynamic executable and receiving the -E flag, the linker should
export all globally visible symbols in its dynamic symbol table.
This commit also moves the logic that exports symbols in the dynamic symbol
table from OutputELFWriter to the ExecutableWriter class. It is not correct to
leave this at OutputELFWriter because DynamicLibraryWriter, another subclass of
OutputELFWriter, already exports all symbols, meaning we can potentially end up
with duplicated symbols in the dynamic symbol table when creating shared libs.

mach-o supports "fat" files which are a header/table-of-contents followed by a
concatenation of mach-o files (or archives of mach-o files) built for
different architectures. Previously, the support for fat files was in the
MachOReader, but that only supported fat .o files and dylibs (not archives).
The fix is to put the fat handing into MachOFileNode. That way any input file
kind (including archives) can be fat. MachOFileNode selects the sub-range
of the fat file that matches the arch being linked and creates a MemoryBuffer
for just that subrange.

This change identified a couple of tests which were incorrectly mixing up

The darwin linker has the -demangle option which directs it to demangle C++
(and soon Swift) mangled symbol names. Long term we need some Diagnostics object
for formatting errors and warnings. But for now we have the Core linker just
writing messages to llvm::errs(). So, to enable demangling, I changed the
Resolver to call a LinkingContext method on the symbol name.
To make this more interesting, the demangling code is done via __cxa_demangle()
which is part of the C++ ABI, which is only supported on some platforms, so I
had to conditionalize the code with the config generated HAVE_CXXABI_H.

Summary:
This patch adds support for the general dynamic TLS access model for X86_64 (see www.akkadia.org/drepper/tls.pdf).
To properly support TLS, the patch also changes the __tls_get_addr atom to be a shared library atom instead of a regularly defined atom (the previous lld approach). This closely models the reality of a function that will be resolved at runtime by the dynamic linker and loader itself (ld.so). I was tempted to force LLD to link against ld.so itself to resolve these symbols, but since GNU ld does not need the ld.so library to resolve this symbol, I decided to mimic its behavior and keep hardwired a definition of __tls_get_addr in the lld code.
This patch also moves some important logic that previously was only available to the MIPS lld backend to be used to all ELF backends. This logic, which now lives in the DefaultLayout class, will monitor which external (shared lib) symbols are really imported by the current module and will only populate the dynamic symbol table with used symbols, as opposed to the previous approach of dumping all shared lib symbols in the dynamic symbol table. This is important to this patch to avoid __tls_get_addr from getting injected into all dynamic symbol tables.
By solving the previous problem of always adding __tls_get_addr, now the produced symbol tables are slightly smaller. But this impacted several tests that relied on hardwired/predefined sizes of the symbol table, requiring this patch to update such tests.
Test Plan: Added a LIT test case that exercises a simple use case of TLS variable in a shared library.

Patch from Rafael Auler!
When a shared lib has an undefined symbol that is defined in a regular object
(the program), the final executable must export this symbol in the dynamic
symbol table. However, in the current logic, lld only puts the symbol in the
dynamic symbol table if the symbol is weak. This patch fixes lld to put the
symbol in the dynamic symbol table regardless if it is weak or not.
This caused a problem in FreeBSD10, whose programs link against a crt1.o
that defines the symbol __progname, which is, in turn, undefined in libc.so.7
and will only be resolved in runtime.

defined in a shared library.
Now LLD does not export a strong defined symbol if it coalesces away a
weak symbol defined in a shared library. This bug affects all ELF
architectures and leads to segfault:
% cat foo.c
extern int __attribute__((weak)) flag;
int foo() { return flag; }
% cat main.c
int flag = 1;
int foo();
int main() { return foo() == 1 ? 0 : -1; }

% lld -flavor gnu -target x86_64 -shared -o libfoo.so ... foo.o
% lld -flavor gnu -target x86_64 -o a.out ... main.o libfoo.so
% ./a.out
Segmentation fault
The problem is caused by the fact that we lose all information about
coalesced symbols after the `Resolver::resolve()` method is finished.
The patch solves the problem by overriding the
`LinkingContext::notifySymbolTableCoalesce()` method and saving names
of coalesced symbols. Later in the `buildDynamicSymbolTable()` routine
we use this information to export these symbols.

Mach-O has a "fat" (or "universal") variant where the same contents built for
different architectures are concatenated into one file with a table-of-contents
header at the start. But this leaves a dilemma for the linker - which
architecture to use.
Normally, the linker command line -arch is used to force which slice of any fat
files are used. The clang compiler always passes -arch to the linker when
invoking it. But some Makefiles invoke the linker directly and don’t specify
the -arch option. For those cases, the linker scans all input files in command
line order and finds the first non-fat object file. Whatever architecture it
is becomes the architecture for the link.

Darwin has a packaging mechanism for shared libraries and headers called
frameworks. A directory Foo.framework contains a shared library binary file
"Foo" and a subdirectory "Headers". Most OS frameworks are all in one

option "-framework Foo" means search the framework directories specified
with -F (analogous to -L) looking for a shared library Foo.framework/Foo.

In general two-level namespace means each program records exactly which dylib
each undefined (imported) symbol comes from. But, sometimes the implementor
wants to hide the implementation dylib. For instance libSytem.dylib is the base
dylib all Darwin programs must link with. A few years ago it was split up
into two dozen dylibs by all are hidden behind libSystem.dylib which re-exports
each sub-dylib. All clients still think libSystem.dylib is the implementor.
To support this, the linker must load "indirect" dylibs and not just the
"direct" dylibs specified on the command line. This is done in the
createImplicitFiles() method after all command line specified files are
loaded. Since an indirect dylib may have already been loaded as a direct dylib
(or indirectly via a previous direct dylib), the MachOLinkingContext keeps
a list of all loaded dylibs.
With this change hello world can now be linked against the real OS or SDK.

/INCLUDE arguments passed as command line options are handled in the
same way as Unix -u. All option values are converted to an undefined
symbol and added to a dummy input file, so that the specified symbols
are resolved.
One tricky thing on Windows is that the option is also allowed to
appear in the object file's directive section. At the time when
it's being read, all (regular) command line options have already
been processed. We cannot add undefined atoms to the dummy file
anymore.
Previously, we added such /INCLUDE to a set that has already been
processed. As a result the options were ignored.
This patch fixes the issue. Now, /INCLUDE symbols in the directive
section are handled as real undefined symbol in the COFF file.
We create an undefined symbol for each /INCLUDE argument and add
it to the file being parsed.

The -sectalign option is used to increase the alignment required for a section.
It required some reworking of how the __TEXT segment is laid out because that

Using this option will simplify some future test cases because the final

On Windows there are four "main" functions -- main, wmain, WinMain,

entry routine for your "main" function.
If you give an /entry option, the specified name is used
unconditionally.
Otherwise, the linker needs to select the right one based on
user-supplied entry point function. This can be done after the

from the driver to a virtual input file. It also implements the

COFF supports a feature similar to ELF's section groups. This
patch implements it.
In ELF, section groups are identified by their names, and they are
treated somewhat differently from regular symbols. In COFF, the
feature is realized in a more straightforward way. A section can
have an annotation saying "if Nth section is linked, link this
section too."
Implementing such feature is easy. We can add a reference from a
target atom to an original atom, so that if the target is linked,
the original atom is also linked. If not linked, both will be
dead-stripped. So they are treated as a group.
I added a new reference type, kindAssociate. It does nothing except
preventing referenced atoms from being dead-stripped.
No change to the Resolver is needed.
