MIPS N64 ABI packs multiple relocations into the single relocation
record. Particularly it requires to represent dynamic relative
relocation as a combination of R_MIPS_REL32 and R_MIPS_64 relocations.
llvm-svn: 268565
We were already checking for non relative relocations.
If we ever decide to add support for rw text segments this means we will
have a single spot to add the flag.
llvm-svn: 268558
Also improves the error message. Previously it would just print out
the cause (e.g. "permission denied"). Now it prints out something like
"--reproduce: failed to open foo.cpio: permission denied".
llvm-svn: 268551
These relocations introduced by MIPS N64 ABI. R_MIPS_GOT_DISP references
GOT entry with full symbol's address, R_MIPS_GOT_PAGE creates GOT entry
with address of memory page which includes symbol's address,
R_MIPS_GOT_OFST used together with R_MIPS_GOT_PAGE. This relocation
calculates offset from beginning of memory page to the symbol address.
llvm-svn: 268525
This is both simpler and safer. If we crash at any point, there is a
valid cpio file to reproduce the crash.
Thanks to Rui for the suggestion.

MIPS N64 ABI introduces .MIPS.options section which specifies miscellaneous
options to be applied to an object/shared/executable file. LLVM as well as
modern versions of GNU tools read and write the only type of the options -
ODK_REGINFO. It is exact copy of .reginfo section used by O32 ABI.

Both bfd and gold have this. It allows disabling build-id when it is the
default with by adding -Wl,--build-id=none no the clang command line.
llvm-svn: 268435
Introduce a special symbol type to indicate that we have not yet seen a type
for the symbol, so we should not report TLS mismatches for that symbol.

We want --reproduce to
* not rewrite scripts and thin archives
* work with absolute paths
Given that, it pretty much has to create a full directory tree. On windows that
is problematic because of the very short maximum path limit. On most cases
users can still work around it with "--repro c:\r", but that is annoying and
not viable for automated testing.
We then need to produce some form of archive with the files. The first option
that comes to mind is .a files since we already have code for writing them.
There are a few problems with them
The format has a dedicated string table, so we cannot start writing it until
all members are known.
Regular implementations don't support creating directories. We could make
llvm-ar support that, but that is probably not a good idea.
The next natural option would be tar. The problem is that to support long path
names (which is how this started) it needs a "pax extended header" making this
an annoying format to write.
The next option I looked at seems a natural fit: cpio files.
They are available on pretty much every unix, support directories and long path
names and are really easy to write. The only slightly annoying part is a
terminator, but at least gnu cpio only prints a warning if it is missing, which
is handy for crashes. This patch still makes an effort to always create it.
llvm-svn: 268404
Weak undefined symbols resolve to the image base. This is a little strange,
but it allows us to link function calls to such symbols. Normally such a
call will be guarded with a comparison, which will load a zero from the GOT.
There's one example of such a function call in crti.o in Linux's CRT.
As part of this change, I also needed to make the synthetic start and end
symbols image base relative in the case where their sections were empty,
so that PC-relative references to those symbols would continue to work.

This change simplifies the BuildId classes by removing a few member
functions and variables from them. It should also make it easy to
parallelize hash computation in future because now each BuildId object
see all inputs rather than one at a time.
llvm-svn: 268333
This patch increases the size of Undefined by the size of a pointer,
but it wouldn't actually increase the size of memory that LLD uses
because we are not allocating the exact size but the size of the
largest SymbolBody.
llvm-svn: 268310
With this it is possible to use chroot/fakechroot to have a completely
reproducible link even when thin archives or linker scripts have
absolute paths.

Patch implements one of suggestions from Rafael Ávila de Espíndola,
to fix segfault after section that contains personality being
garbage collected.
Suggestion was just to keep alive all non executable sections
referenced by .eh_frame.
This fixes PR27529.

This patch implements a new design for the symbol table that stores
SymbolBodies within a memory region of the Symbol object. Symbols are mutated
by constructing SymbolBodies in place over existing SymbolBodies, rather
than by mutating pointers. As mentioned in the initial proposal [1], this
memory layout helps reduce the cache miss rate by improving memory locality.
Performance numbers:
old(s) new(s)
Without debug info:
chrome 7.178 6.432 (-11.5%)
LLVMgold.so 0.505 0.502 (-0.5%)
clang 0.954 0.827 (-15.4%)
llvm-as 0.052 0.045 (-15.5%)
With debug info:
scylla 5.695 5.613 (-1.5%)
clang 14.396 14.143 (-1.8%)
Performance counter results show that the fewer required indirections is
indeed the cause of the improved performance. For example, when linking
chrome, stalled cycles decreases from 14,556,444,002 to 12,959,238,310, and
instructions per cycle increases from 0.78 to 0.83. We are also executing
many fewer instructions (15,516,401,933 down to 15,002,434,310), probably
because we spend less time allocating SymbolBodies.
The new mechanism by which symbols are added to the symbol table is by calling
add* functions on the SymbolTable.
In this patch, I handle local symbols by storing them inside "unparented"
SymbolBodies. This is suboptimal, but if we do want to try to avoid allocating
these SymbolBodies, we can probably do that separately.
I also removed a few members from the SymbolBody class that were only being
used to pass information from the input file to the symbol table.
This patch implements the new design for the ELF linker only. I intend to
prepare a similar patch for the COFF linker.

The aim of this patch is to make it easy to re-run the command without
updating paths in the command line. Here is a use case.
Assume that Alice is having an issue with lld and is reporting the issue
to developer Bob. Alice's current directly is /home/alice/work and her
command line is "ld.lld -o foo foo.o ../bar.o". She adds "--reproduce repro"
to the command line and re-run. Then the following text will be produced as
response.txt (notice that the paths are rewritten so that they are
relative to /home/alice/work/repro.)
-o home/alice/work/foo home/alice/work/foo.o home/alice/bar.o
The command also produces the following files by copying inputs.
/home/alice/repro/home/alice/work/foo.o
/home/alice/repro/home/alice/bar.o
Alice zips the directory and send it to Bob. Bob get an archive from Alice
and extract it to his home directory as /home/bob/repro. Now his directory
have the following files.
/home/bob/repro/response.txt
/home/bob/repro/home/alice/work/foo.o
/home/bob/repro/home/alice/bar.o
Bob then re-run the command with these files by the following commands.
cd /home/bob/repro
ld.lld @response.txt
This command will run the linker with the same command line options and
the same input files as Alice's, so it is very likely that Bob will see
the same issue as Alice saw.

These would just crash at runtime.
If we ever decide to support rw text segments this should make it easier
to implement as there is now a single point where we notice the problem.
I have tested this with a freebsd buildworld. It found a non pic
assembly file being linked into a .so,. With that fixed, buildworld
finished.
