Previously we did not support anything except "local: *", patch changes that.
Actually GNU rules of proccessing wildcards are more complex than that (http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/300):
There are 2 iteration for wildcards, at first iteration "*" wildcards are ignored and handled at second iteration.
Since we previously decided not to implement such complex rules,
I suggest solution that is implemented in this patch. So for "local: *" case nothing changes,
but if we have wildcarded locals,
they are processed before wildcarded globals.
This should fix several FreeBSD ports, one of them is jpeg-turbo-1.5.1 and
currently blocks about 5k of ports.

The disadvantage is that we use uint64_t instad of uint32_t for some

This is similar to what was done for InputSection.
With this the various fields are stored in host order and only

A CommonInputSection is a section containing all common symbols.
That was an input section but was abstracted in a different way
than the synthetic input sections because it was written before
the synthetic input section was invented.
This patch rewrites CommonInputSection as a synthetic input section
so that it behaves better with other sections.
llvm-svn: 286053
Previously, we do this piece of code to iterate over all input sections.
for (elf::ObjectFile<ELFT> *F : Symtab.getObjectFiles())
for (InputSectionBase<ELFT> *S : F->getSections())
It turned out that this mechanisms doesn't work well with synthetic
input sections because synthetic input sections don't belong to any
input file.
This patch defines a vector that contains all input sections including
synthetic ones.

This can speed up lld up to 5 times when linking applications

Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D26241
llvm-svn: 285895
With this patch we keep track of the fact that . is a position in the
file and therefore not absolute. This allow us to compute relative
relocations that involve symbol that are defined in linker scripts
with '.'.
This fixes https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=30406
There is still more work to track absoluteness over the various
expressions, but this should unblock linking the EFI bootloader.
llvm-svn: 285641
We parse linker scripts very early, but whether an expression is
absolute or not can depend on a symbol defined in a .o. Given that, we
have to delay the computation of IsAbsolute. We can do that by storing
an AST when parsing or by also making IsAbsolute a function like we do
for the expression value. This patch implements the second option.
llvm-svn: 285628
And as a token of the new feature, make ALIGNOF always absolute.
This is a step in making it possible to have non absolute symbols out
of output sections.
llvm-svn: 285608
Previously, we have a lot of BumpPtrAllocators, but all these

Instead of storing a pointer, store the members we need.
The reason for doing this is that it makes it far easier to create
synthetic sections. It also avoids reading data from files multiple
times., which might help with cross endian linking and host
architectures with slow unaligned access.
There are obvious compacting opportunities, but this already has mixed
results even on native x86_64 linking.
There is also the possibility of better refactoring the code for
handling common symbols, but this already shows that a custom class is
not necessary.
llvm-svn: 285148
We were fairly inconsistent as to what information should be accessed

This script below shouldn't include file and program headers

Linker scripts may specify PHDRS, but not specify section to

PHDRS { seg PT_LOAD; }
SECTIONS {

In such case linker should still choose some segment for .sec2 section.

PT_OPENBSD_RANDOMIZE
The array element specifies the location and size of a part of the memory image of the program that must be filled with random data before any code in the object is executed.

Previously, we supported only SHF_COMPRESSED sections because it's
new and it's the ELF standard. But there are object files compressed
in the GNU style out there, so we had to support it.
Sections compressed in the GNU style start with ".zdebug_" and
contain different headers than the ELF standard's one. In this
patch, getRawCompressedData is responsible to handle it.
A tricky thing about GNU-style compressed sections is that we have
to rename them when creating output sections. ".zdebug_" prefix
implies the section is compressed. We need to rename ".zdebug_"
".debug" because our output sections are not compressed.
We do that in this patch.
llvm-svn: 284068
r283984 introduced a problem of too many warning messages being shown
when -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections were used in conjunction

happens because lot of relocations from .debug_line section may become
invalid in such case. The newer fix doesn't show any warning message but
zeroes OutSec pointer in createInputSectionList() to avoid crash, when
relocations are written

Sometimes the very first PT_LOAD segment, created by lld, can be empty.

We were implicitly creating space for the headers. That is not the
behaviour of bfd, which requires the script to use SIZEOF_HEADERS. The
difference is important for scripts that don't use SIZEOF_HEADERS and
expect the first section to be at 0.
llvm-svn: 282818
If there is not sufficient address space, just give up and don't put
the header in the PT_LOAD.
This matches bfd behaviour and I found at least one script that
depends on having a section at address 0.
llvm-svn: 282750
The BYTE, SHORT, LONG, and QUAD commands store one, two, four, and eight bytes (respectively).
After storing the bytes, the location counter is incremented by the number of bytes
stored.

.foo : {

middle, we can need more PT_LOADs and those will not be aligned.

Previously, all input files were owned by the symbol table.
Files were created at various places, such as the Driver, the lazy
symbols, or the bitcode compiler, and the ownership of new files
was transferred to the symbol table using std::unique_ptr.
All input files were then free'd when the symbol table is freed
which is on program exit.
I think we don't have to transfer ownership just to free all
instance at once on exit.
In this patch, all instances are automatically collected to a

Previously we supported only sorting by name.
When there are nested section sorting commands in linker script, there can be at most 1
level of nesting for section sorting commands.
SORT_BY_NAME (SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (wildcard section pattern)). It will sort the input
sections by name first, then by alignment if 2 sections have the same name.
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (SORT_BY_NAME (wildcard section pattern)). It will sort the input
sections by alignment first, then by name if 2 sections have the same alignment.
SORT_BY_NAME (SORT_BY_NAME (wildcard section pattern)) is treated the same as SORT_
BY_NAME (wildcard section pattern).
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (wildcard section pattern)) is treated the
same as SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (wildcard section pattern).
All other nested section sorting commands are invalid.
Patch implements that all above.

Previously, Ignore flag is set if we don't want to assign
a value to symbols. It happens if a symbol assingment is in
PROVIDE() and there's already a symbol with the same name.
The previous code had a subtle but that we assume that the
existing symbol is an absolute symbol even if it is not.
This patch fixes the issue by always overwriting an absolute
symbol.

This is a bit of an odd feature. It is normally used in
. = SEGMENT_START(seg, val);
In bfd it evaluates to val or to the value of the corresponding
-T<seg>-segment. Note that the -T<seg>-segment in bfd doesn't actually
change the segment address, just the value this evaluates too,
including in the default linker script.
In gold the -T<seg>-segment options do change the segment address and
seeing this expressions in linker scripts disables the options.
For new this just always evaluates the expression to val.

Some scripts can contain SORT(CONSTRUCTORS) expression:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/conf/ldscript.amd64?revision=284870&view=markup#l152
for ELF it just a nop:
"When linking object file formats which do not support arbitrary sections, such as ECOFF and XCOFF, the linker will automatically recognize C++ global constructors and destructors by name. For these object file formats, the CONSTRUCTORS command tells the linker to place constructor information in the output section where the CONSTRUCTORS command appears. The CONSTRUCTORS command is ignored for other object file formats."
(http://www.sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.10/ld_3.html)
So patch implements ignoring.

In compare with what GNU linkers do (https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Builtin-Functions.html),
this implementation simple:
Do not touch DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN, it do what it do now - just aligns to the page boundary.
Parameters of DATA_SEGMENT_RELRO_END is ignored. That should be correct as it is usually just a 24 bytes
shift that allows to protect first 3 entries of got.plt with relro.
(https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/conf/ldscript.amd64?revision=284870&view=markup#l146).
DATA_SEGMENT_RELRO_END just aligns to the page boundary.
That is what expected because all sections that are not affected by relro should be on another memory page.
So at fact the difference with documented behavior is that we do not pad DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN.
3 entries of got.plt are uncovered by relro, but functionality is simple and equal to lld behavior
for case when script is not given.

We can simplify the evaluation of DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN
just to simple align(). That way it will work exactly like we have in non-script case.

We can have Opt.Commands size greater then Sections.size().
For example if we have next script:
SECTIONS {
.aaa : { *(.aaa) }
.bbb : { *(.bbb) }
.ccc : { *(.ccc) }
}
and next code:
.global _start
_start:
nop
.section .aaa,"a"
.quad 0
Then amount of sections is less than amound of Opt.Commands
and if we for example have all commands NoConstraint,
that overflowed the iterator used.

createSections function is getting longer, so it is time to split it
into small functions. The reason why the function is long is because
it has deeply nested for-loops. This patch constructs temporary data
to reduce nesting level.

match() returns true of the first argument, a target string, matches

Previously, we handled an expression as a vector of tokens. In other
words, an expression was a vector of uncooked raw StringRefs.
When we need a value of an expression, we used ExprParser to run
the expression.
The separation was needed essentially because parse time is too
early to evaluate an expression. In order to evaluate an expression,
we need to finalize section sizes. Because linker script parsing
is done at very early stage of the linking process, we can't
evaluate expressions while parsing.
The above mechanism worked fairly well, but there were a few
drawbacks.
One thing is that we sometimes have to parse the same expression
more than once in order to find the end of the expression.
In some contexts, linker script expressions have no clear end marker.
So, we needed to recognize balanced expressions and ternary operators.
The other is poor error reporting. Since expressions are parsed
basically twice, and some information that is available at the first
stage is lost in the second stage, it was hard to print out
apprpriate error messages.
This patch fixes the issues with a new approach.
Now the expression parsing is integrated into ScriptParser.
ExprParser class is removed. Expressions are represented as lambdas
instead of vectors of tokens. Lambdas captures information they
need to run themselves when they are created.
In this way, ends of expressions are naturally detected, and
errors are handled in the usual way. This patch also reduces
the amount of code.

It is called basic because:
CONSTANT expression can refer to COMMONPAGESIZE and MAXPAGESIZE.
This sizes are usually different and used for possible optimization of
memory consumption.
More details are here: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2002-02/msg00265.html
We currently do not support this optimization, so both CONSTANT(MAXPAGESIZE)
and CONSTANT(COMMONPAGESIZE) just return Target->PageSize value.
DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN and DATA_SEGMENT_END are used as a part of opt.
The latter one is just ignored now.
According to documentation DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN has 2 possible
calculation, but since we do not support mentioned opt - it
is always calculated now as (ALIGN(MAXPAGESIZE) + (. & (MAXPAGESIZE - 1))).
In general this should work for now until we deside to support this opt.

It doesn't appear to like this pattern:
for (auto X : Xs)
if (...) { ... }
else ...;
We have heard anecdotes that range based for loops are implemented as a
token rewrite in MSVC's lexer, and that the most challenging part of the
rewrite is finding the end of the for loop. That makes sense, given that
it's a lexer.
