We no longer need it for relocations in .eh_frame.
The only relocations that point to .eh_frame are the ones trying to

llvm-svn: 276175
We will need to do something like this to support range extension
thunks since that process is iterative.
Doing this also has the advantage that when doing the regular
relocation scan the offset in the output section is known and we can
just store that. This reduces the number of times we have to run
getOffset and I think will allow a more specialized .eh_frame
representation.
By itself this is already a performance win.

The patch adds one more partition to the MIPS GOT. This time it is for
TLS related GOT entries. Such entries are located after 'local' and 'global'
ones. We cannot get a final offset for these entries at the time of
creation because we do not know size of 'local' and 'global' partitions.
So we have to adjust the offset later using `getMipsTlsOffset()` method.
All MIPS TLS relocations which need GOT entries operates MIPS style GOT
offset - 'offset from the GOT's beginning' - MipsGPOffset constant. That
is why I add new types of relocation expressions.
One more difference from othe ABIs is that the MIPS ABI does not support
any TLS relocation relaxations. I decided to make a separate function
`handleMipsTlsRelocation` and put MIPS TLS relocation handling code
there. It is similar to `handleTlsRelocation` routine and duplicates its
code. But it allows to make the code cleaner and prevent pollution of
the `handleTlsRelocation` by MIPS 'if' statements.

Peter Smith found while trying to support thunk creation for ARM that
LLD sometimes creates broken thunks for MIPS. The cause of the bug is
that we assign file offsets to input sections too early. We need to
create all sections and then assign section offsets because appending
thunks changes file offsets for all following sections.
This patch separates the pass to assign file offsets from thunk
creation pass. This effectively reverts r265673.

There are two motivations for this patch. The first one is a preparation
for support MIPS TLS relocations. It might sound like a joke but for GOT
entries related to TLS relocations MIPS ABI uses almost regular approach
with creation of dynamic relocations for each GOT enty etc. But we need
to separate these 'regular' TLS related entries from MIPS specific local
and global parts of GOT. ABI declare simple solution - all TLS related
entries allocated at the end of GOT after local/global parts. The second
motivation it to support GOT relocations for non-preemptible symbols
with addends. If we have more than one GOT relocations against symbol S
with different addends we need to create GOT entries for each unique
Symbol/Addend pairs.
So we store all MIPS GOT entries in separate containers. For non-preemptible
symbols we have to maintain two data structures. The first one is MipsLocal
vector. Each entry corresponds to the GOT entry from the 'local' part
of the GOT contains the symbol's address plus addend. The second one
is MipsLocalMap. It is a map from Symbol/Addend pair to the GOT index.

This is mostly extracted from http://reviews.llvm.org/D18960.
The general idea for tlsdesc is that the two GD got entries are used
for a function pointer and its argument. The dynamic linker sets
both. In the non-dlopen case the dynamic linker sets the function to
the identity and the argument to the offset in the tls block.
All that the static linker has to do in the non-dlopen case is
relocate the code to point to the got entries and create a dynamic
relocation.
The dlopen case is more complicated, but can be implemented in another patch.

MergedInputSection::getOffset is the busiest function in LLD if string
merging is enabled and input files have lots of mergeable sections.
It is usually the case when creating executable with debug info,
so it is pretty common.
The reason why it is slow is because it has to do faily complex
computations. For non-mergeable sections, section contents are
contiguous in output, so in order to compute an output offset,
we only have to add the output section's base address to an input
offset. But for mergeable strings, section contents are split for
merging, so they are not contigous. We've got to do some lookups.
We used to do binary search on the list of section pieces.
It is slow because I think it's hostile to branch prediction.
This patch replaces it with hash table lookup. Seems it's working
pretty well. Below is "perf stat -r10" output when linking clang
with debug info. In this case this patch speeds up about 4%.

Previously, mergeable section's constructors did more than just
setting member variables; it split section contents into small
pieces. It is not always computationally cheap task because if
the section is a mergeable string section, it needs to scan the
entire section to split them by NUL characters.
If a section would be thrown away by GC, that cost ended up
being a waste of time. It is going to be larger problem if the
section is compressed -- the whole time to uncompress it and
split it up is going to be a waste.
Luckily, we can defer section splitting after GC. We just have
to remember which offsets are in use during GC and apply that later.
This patch implements it.

We were previously using an output offset of -1 for both GC'd and tail
merged pieces. We need to distinguish these two cases in order to filter
GC'd symbols from the symbol table -- we were previously asserting when we
asked for the VA of a symbol pointing into a dead piece, which would end
up asking the tail merging string table for an offset even though we hadn't
initialized it properly.
This patch fixes the bug by using an offset of -1 to exclusively mean GC'd
pieces, using 0 for tail merges, and distinguishing the tail merge case from
an offset of 0 by asking the output section whether it is tail merge.

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.

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
(1.006X). The largest speedup was clang with no --build-id, -O3 or
--gc-sections (i.e.: focus on the relocations): 1.019X.

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.

ICF is a fairly effective size optimization. Here are some examples.

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.

-r, -relocatable - Generate relocatable output
Currently does not have support for files containing
relocation sections with entries that refer to local
symbols (like rel[a].eh_frame which refer to sections
and not to symbols)

"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.

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.
