That patch is the fix for https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40703
"wrong line number info for obj file compiled with -ffunction-sections"
bug. The problem happened with only .o files. If object file contains
several .text sections then line number information showed incorrectly.
The reason for this is that DwarfLineTable could not detect section which
corresponds to specified address(because address is the local to the
section). And as the result it could not select proper sequence in the
line table. The fix is to pass SectionIndex with the address. So that it
would be possible to differentiate addresses from various sections. With
this fix llvm-objdump shows correct line numbers for disassembled code.

Summary:
In ld.bfd/gold, --no-allow-shlib-undefined is the default when linking
an executable. This patch implements a check to error on undefined
symbols in a shared object, if all of its DT_NEEDED entries are seen.
Our approach resembles the one used in gold, achieves a good balance to
be useful but not too smart (ld.bfd traces all DSOs and emulates the
behavior of a dynamic linker to catch more cases).
The error is issued based on the symbol table, different from undefined
reference errors issued for relocations. It is most effective when there
are DSOs that were not linked with -z defs (e.g. when static sanitizers
runtime is used).
gold has a comment that some system libraries on GNU/Linux may have
spurious undefined references and thus system libraries should be
excluded (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6811). The
story may have changed now but we make --allow-shlib-undefined the
default for now. Its interaction with -shared can be discussed in the
future.

Summary:
lld discards .gnu.linonce.* sections work around a bug in glibc.
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20543
Unfortunately, the Linux kernel uses a section named
.gnu.linkonce.this_module to store infomation about kernel modules. The
kernel reads data from this section when loading kernel modules, and
errors if it fails to find this section. The current behavior of lld
discards this section when kernel modules are linked, so kernel modules
linked with lld are unloadable by the linux kernel.
The Linux kernel should use a comdat section instead of .gnu.linkonce.
The minimum version of binutils supported by the kernel supports comdat
sections. The kernel is also not relying on the old linkonce behavior;
it seems to have chosen a name that contains a deprecated GNU feature.
Changing the section name now in the kernel would require all kernel
modules to be recompiled to make use of the new section name. Instead,
rather than discarding .gnu.linkonce.*, let's discard the more specific
section name to continue working around the glibc issue while supporting
linking Linux kernel modules.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM

Previously, we uncompress all compressed sections before doing anything.
That works, and that is conceptually simple, but that could results in
a waste of CPU time and memory if uncompressed sections are then
discarded or just copied to the output buffer.
In particular, if .debug_gnu_pub{names,types} are compressed and if no
-gdb-index option is given, we wasted CPU and memory because we
uncompress them into newly allocated bufers and then memcpy the buffers
to the output buffer. That temporary buffer was redundant.
This patch changes how to uncompress sections. Now, compressed sections
are uncompressed lazily. To do that, `Data` member of `InputSectionBase`
is now hidden from outside, and `data()` accessor automatically expands
an compressed buffer if necessary.
If no one calls `data()`, then `writeTo()` directly uncompresses
compressed data into the output buffer. That eliminates the redundant
memory allocation and redundant memcpy.
This patch significantly reduces memory consumption (20 GiB max RSS to
15 Gib) for an executable whose .debug_gnu_pub{names,types} are in total
5 GiB in an uncompressed form.

r320770 made LLD handle invalid DSOs where local symbols were found in
the global part of the symbol table. Unfortunately, it didn't handle the
case where those local symbols were also undefined, and r326242 exposed
an assertion failure in that case. Just warn on that case instead of
crashing, by moving the local binding check before the undefined symbol
addition.
The input file for the test is crafted by hand, since I don't know of
any tool that would produce such a broken DSO. I also don't understand
what it even means for a symbol to be undefined but have STB_LOCAL
binding - I don't think that combination makes any sense - but we have
found broken DSOs of this nature that we were linking against. I've
included detailed instructions on how to produce the DSO in the test.

Summary:
For -thinlto-object-suffix-replace=old\;new, in
tools/gold/gold-plugin.cpp, the thinlto object filename is Path minus
optional old suffix.
static std::string getThinLTOObjectFileName(StringRef Path, StringRef OldSuffix,
StringRef NewSuffix) {
if (OldSuffix.empty() && NewSuffix.empty())
return Path;
StringRef NewPath = Path;
NewPath.consume_back(OldSuffix);
std::string NewNewPath = NewPath;
NewNewPath += NewSuffix;
return NewNewPath;
}
Currently lld will error that the path does not end with old suffix.
This patch makes lld accept such paths but only add new suffix if Path
ends with old suffix. This fixes a link error where bitcode members in
an archive are regular LTO objects without old suffix.
Acording to tejohnson, this will "enable supporting mix and match of
minimized ThinLTO bitcode files with normal ThinLTO bitcode files in a
single link (where we want to apply the suffix replacement to the
minimized files, and just ignore it for the normal ThinLTO files)."

Our code in LazyObjFile::parse() has an ELFT switch and
adds a lazy object by its ELFT kind.
Though it might be possible to add a file using a different
architecture and make LLD to silently accept it (if the file
is empty or contains only week symbols). That itself, not a
huge issue perhaps (because the error would be reported later
if the file is fetched), but still does not look clean and correct.
It is possible to report an error earlier and clean up the
code. That is what the patch does.
Ideally, we might want to reuse isCompatible from SymbolTable.cpp,
but it is static and accepts a file as an argument, what is not
convenient. Since such a situation should be rare, I think it
should be OK to go with the way chosen in this patch.

The Tag_ABI_VFP_args build attribute controls the procedure call standard
used for floating point parameters on ARM. The values are:
0 - Base AAPCS (FP Parameters passed in Core (Integer) registers
1 - VFP AAPCS (FP Parameters passed in FP registers)
2 - Toolchain specific (Neither Base or VFP)
3 - Compatible with all (No use of floating point parameters)
If the Tag_ABI_VFP_args build attribute is missing it has an implicit value
of 0.
We use the attribute in two ways:
- Detect a clash in calling convention between Base, VFP and Toolchain.
we follow ld.bfd's lead and do not error if there is a clash between an
implicit Base AAPCS caused by a missing attribute. Many projects
including the hard-float (VFP AAPCS) version of glibc contain assembler
files that do not use floating point but do not have Tag_ABI_VFP_args.
- Set the EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT or EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_HARD ELF header flag
for Base or VFP AAPCS respectively. This flag is used by some ELF
loaders.

Currently, when LLD do a lookup for variables location, it uses DW_AT_name attribute.
That is not always enough.
Imagine code:
namespace A {
int bar = 0;
}
namespace Z {
int bar = 1;
}
int hoho;
In this case there are 3 variables and their debug attributes are following:
A::bar has: DW_AT_name [DW_FORM_string] ("bar") DW_AT_linkage_name [DW_FORM_strp] ( .debug_str[0x00000006] = "_ZN1A3barE")
Z::bar has: DW_AT_name [DW_FORM_string] ("bar") DW_AT_linkage_name [DW_FORM_strp] ( .debug_str[0x0000003f] = "_ZN1Z3barE")
hoho has: DW_AT_name [DW_FORM_strp] ( .debug_str[0x0000004a] = "hoho") and has NO DW_AT_linkage_name attribute. Because it would be
the same as DW_AT_name and DWARF producers avoids emiting excessive data.
Hence LLD should also use DW_AT_linkage_name when it is available.
(currently, LLD fails to report location correctly because thinks that A::bar and Z::bar are the same things)

Summary:
r331971 changes the debug line parser interface to report LLVM errors in an

I'm proposing a new command line flag, --warn-backrefs in this patch.
The flag and the feature proposed below don't exist in GNU linkers
nor the current lld.
--warn-backrefs is an option to detect reverse or cyclic dependencies
between static archives, and it can be used to keep your program
compatible with GNU linkers after you switch to lld. I'll explain the
feature and why you may find it useful below.
lld's symbol resolution semantics is more relaxed than traditional
Unix linkers. Therefore,
ld.lld foo.a bar.o
succeeds even if bar.o contains an undefined symbol that have to be
resolved by some object file in foo.a. Traditional Unix linkers
don't allow this kind of backward reference, as they visit each
file only once from left to right in the command line while
resolving all undefined symbol at the moment of visiting.
In the above case, since there's no undefined symbol when a linker
visits foo.a, no files are pulled out from foo.a, and because the
linker forgets about foo.a after visiting, it can't resolve
undefined symbols that could have been resolved otherwise.
That lld accepts more relaxed form means (besides it makes more
sense) that you can accidentally write a command line or a build
file that works only with lld, even if you have a plan to
distribute it to wider users who may be using GNU linkers. With
--check-library-dependency, you can detect a library order that
doesn't work with other Unix linkers.
The option is also useful to detect cyclic dependencies between
static archives. Again, lld accepts
ld.lld foo.a bar.a
even if foo.a and bar.a depend on each other. With --warn-backrefs
it is handled as an error.
Here is how the option works. We assign a group ID to each file. A
file with a smaller group ID can pull out object files from an
archive file with an equal or greater group ID. Otherwise, it is a
reverse dependency and an error.
A file outside --{start,end}-group gets a fresh ID when
instantiated. All files within the same --{start,end}-group get the
same group ID. E.g.
ld.lld A B --start-group C D --end-group E
A and B form group 0, C, D and their member object files form group
1, and E forms group 2. I think that you can see how this group
assignment rule simulates the traditional linker's semantics.
