The new `lazy` state is the inverse of the previous `LazyObjFile::extracted`.
There are many advantages:
* previously when a LazyObjFile was extracted, a new ObjFile/BitcodeFile was created; now the file is reused, just with `lazy` cleared
* avoid the confusing transfer of `symbols` from LazyObjFile to the new file
* the `incompatible file:` diagnostic is unified with `is incompatible with`
* simpler code, smaller executable (6200+ bytes smaller on x86-64)
* make eager parsing feasible (for parallel section/symbol table initialization)
SHT_GNU_verdef is typically small, so it's unnecessary to reserve the vector.

This is a follow up to https://reviews.llvm.org/D104080, and ca3bdb57fa (diff-e64a48fabe31db213a631fdc5f2acb51bdddf3f16a8fb2928784f4c579229585). The implementation of call graph profile was changed from a black box section to relocation approach. This was done to be compatible with post processing tools like strip/objcopy, and llvm equivalent. When they are invoked on object file before the final linking step with this new approach the symbol indices correctness is preserved.
The GNU binutils tools change the REL section to RELA section, unlike llvm tools. For example when strip -S is run on the ELF object files, as an intermediate step before linking. To preserve compatibility this patch extends implementation in LLD and ELFDumper to support both REL and RELA sections for call graph profile.

... even on targets preferring RELA. The section is only consumed by ld.lld
which can handle REL.
Follow-up to D104080 as I explained in the review. There are two advantages:
* The D104080 code only handles RELA, so arm/i386/mips32 etc may warn for -fprofile-use=/-fprofile-sample-use= usage.
* Decrease object file size for RELA targets
While here, change the relocation to relocate weights, instead of 0,1,2,3,..
I failed to catch the issue during review.
Currently when .llvm.call-graph-profile is created by llvm it explicitly encodes the symbol indices. This section is basically a black box for post processing tools. For example, if we run strip -s on the object files the symbol table changes, but indices in that section do not. In non-visible behavior indices point to wrong symbols. The visible behavior indices point outside of Symbol table: "invalid symbol index".
This patch changes the format by using R_*_NONE relocations to indicate the from/to symbols. The Frequency (Weight) will still be in the .llvm.call-graph-profile, but symbol information will be in relocation section. In LLD information from both sections is used to reconstruct call graph profile. Relocations themselves will never be applied.
With this approach post processing tools that handle relocations correctly work for this section also. Tools can add/remove symbols and as long as they handle relocation sections with this approach information stays correct.
Doing a quick experiment with clang-13.
The size went up from 107KB to 322KB, aggregate of all the input sections. Size of clang-13 binary is ~118MB. For users of -fprofile-use/-fprofile-sample-use the size of object files will go up slightly, it will not impact final binary size.

Currently, when reporting unresolved symbols in shared libraries, if an
undefined symbol is firstly seen in a regular object file that shadows
the reference for the same symbol in a shared object. As a result, the
error for the unresolved symbol in the shared library is not reported.
If referencing sections in regular object files are discarded because of
'--gc-sections', no reports about such symbols are generated, and the
linker finishes successfully, generating an output image that fails on
the run.
The patch fixes the issue by keeping symbols, which should be checked,

The TLS General Dynamic/Local Dynamic code sequences need to mark
`__tls_get_addr` with R_PPC64_TLSGD or R_PPC64_TLSLD, e.g.
```
addis r3, r2, x@got@tlsgd@ha # R_PPC64_GOT_TLSGD16_HA
addi r3, r3, x@got@tlsgd@l # R_PPC64_GOT_TLSGD16_LO
bl __tls_get_addr(x@tlsgd) # R_PPC64_TLSGD followed by R_PPC64_REL24
nop
```
However, there are two deviations form the above:
1. direct call to `__tls_get_addr`. This is essential to implement ld.so in glibc/musl/FreeBSD.
```
bl __tls_get_addr
nop
```
This is only used in a -shared link, and thus not subject to the GD/LD to IE/LE
relaxation issue below.
2. Missing R_PPC64_TLSGD/R_PPC64_TLSGD for compiler generated TLS references
According to Stefan Pintille, "In the early days of the transition from the
ELFv1 ABI that is used for big endian PowerPC Linux distributions to the ELFv2
ABI that is used for little endian PowerPC Linux distributions, there was some
ambiguity in the specification of the relocations for TLS. The GNU linker has
implemented support for correct handling of calls to __tls_get_addr with a
missing relocation. Unfortunately, we didn't notice that the IBM XL compiler
did not handle TLS according to the updated ABI until we tried linking XL
compiled libraries with LLD."
In short, LLD needs to work around the old IBM XL compiler issue.
Otherwise, if the object file is linked in -no-pie or -pie mode,
the result will be incorrect because the 4 instructions are partially
rewritten (the latter 2 are not changed).
Work around the compiler bug by disable General Dynamic/Local Dynamic to
Initial Exec/Local Exec relaxation. Note, we also disable Initial Exec
to Local Exec relaxation for implementation simplicity, though technically it can be kept.
ppc64-tls-missing-gdld.s demonstrates the updated behavior.

Fixes PR45594.
In `ObjFile<ELFT>::initializeSymbols()`, for a defined symbol relative to
a discarded section (due to section group rules), it may have been
inserted as a lazy symbol. We need to demote it to an Undefined to
enable the `discarded section` error happened in a later pass.
Add `LazyObjFile::fetched` (if true) and `ArchiveFile::parsed` (if
false) to represent that there is an ongoing lazy symbol fetch and we
should replace the current lazy symbol with an Undefined, instead of
calling `Symbol::resolve` (`Symbol::resolve` should be called if the lazy
symbol was added by an unrelated archive/lazy object).
As a side result, one small issue in start-lib-comdat.s is now fixed.
The hack motivating D51892 will be unsupported: if
`.gnu.linkonce.t.__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx` in an archive is referenced
by another section, this will likely be errored unless the function is
also defined in a regular object file.
(Bringing back rL330869 would error `undefined symbol` instead of the
more relevant `discarded section`.)
Note, glibc i386's crti.o still works (PR31215), because
`.gnu.linkonce.t.__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx` is in crti.o (one of the first

This patch is mechanically generated by clang-llvm-rename tool that I wrote
using Clang Refactoring Engine just for creating this patch. You can see the
source code of the tool at https://reviews.llvm.org/D64123. There's no manual
post-processing; you can generate the same patch by re-running the tool against
lld's code base.
Here is the main discussion thread to change the LLVM coding style:
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-February/130083.html
In the discussion thread, I proposed we use lld as a testbed for variable
naming scheme change, and this patch does that.
I chose to rename variables so that they are in camelCase, just because that
is a minimal change to make variables to start with a lowercase letter.
Note to downstream patch maintainers: if you are maintaining a downstream lld
repo, just rebasing ahead of this commit would cause massive merge conflicts
because this patch essentially changes every line in the lld subdirectory. But
there's a remedy.
clang-llvm-rename tool is a batch tool, so you can rename variables in your
downstream repo with the tool. Given that, here is how to rebase your repo to
a commit after the mass renaming:
1. rebase to the commit just before the mass variable renaming,
2. apply the tool to your downstream repo to mass-rename variables locally, and
3. rebase again to the head.
Most changes made by the tool should be identical for a downstream repo and
for the head, so at the step 3, almost all changes should be merged and
disappear. I'd expect that there would be some lines that you need to merge by
hand, but that shouldn't be too many.

* Support new-style Secure PLT (see below). Old-style BSS PLT is not

* Support more initial relocation types:
R_PPC_ADDR32, R_PPC_REL16*, R_PPC_LOCAL24PC, R_PPC_PLTREL24, and R_PPC_GOT16.
The addend of R_PPC_PLTREL24 is special: it decides the call stub PLT type
but it should be ignored for the computation of target symbol VA.
* Support GNU ifunc
* Support .glink used for lazy PLT resolution in glibc
* Add a new thunk type: PPC32PltCallStub that is similar to PPC64PltCallStub.
It is used by R_PPC_REL24 and R_PPC_PLTREL24.
A PLT stub used in -fPIE/-fPIC usually loads an address relative to
.got2+0x8000 (-fpie/-fpic code uses _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ relative
addresses).
Two .got2 sections in two object files have different addresses, thus a PLT stub
can't be shared by two object files. To handle this incompatibility,
change the parameters of Thunk::isCompatibleWith to
`const InputSection &, const Relocation &`.
PowerPC psABI specified an old-style .plt (BSS PLT) that is both
writable and executable. Linkers don't make separate RW- and RWE segments,
which causes all initially writable memory (think .data) executable.
This is a big security concern so a new PLT scheme (secure PLT) was developed to
address the security issue.

--{start,end}-lib give files grouped by the options the archive file
semantics. That is, each object file between them acts as if it were
in an archive file whose sole member is the file.
Therefore, files between --{start,end}-lib are linked to the final
output only if they are needed to resolve some undefined symbols.
Previously, the feature was implemented this way:
1. We read a symbol table and insert defined symbols to the symbol
table as lazy symbols.
2. If an undefind symbol is resolved to a lazy symbol, that lazy
symbol instantiate ObjFile class for that symbol, which re-insert
all defined symbols to the symbol table.
So, if an ObjFile is instantiated, defined symbols are inserted to the
symbol table twice. Since inserting long symbol names is not cheap,
there's a room to optimize here.
This patch optimzies it. Now, LazyObjFile remembers symbol handles and
passed them over to a new ObjFile instance, so that the ObjFile
doesn't insert the same strings.
Here is a quick benchmark to link clang. "Original" is the original
lld with unmodified command line options. For "Case 1" and "Case 2", I
extracted all files from archive files and replace .a's in a command
line with .o's wrapped with --{start,end}-lib. I used the original lld
for Case 1" and use this patch for Case 2.
Original: 5.892
Case 1: 6.001 (+1.8%)
Case 2: 5.701 (-3.2%)
So, interestingly, --{start,end}-lib are now faster than the regular
linking scheme with archive files. That's perhaps not too surprising,
though, because for regular archive files, we look up the symbol table
with the same string twice.

Rust projects tend to link in all object files from all dependent
libraries and rely on --gc-sections to strip unused code and data.
Unfortunately --gc-sections doesn't currently strip any debuginfo
associated with GC'ed sections, so lld links in the full debuginfo from
all dependencies even if almost all that code has been discarded. See
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/56068 for some details.
Properly stripping debuginfo for discarded sections would be difficult,
but a simple approach that helps significantly is to mark debuginfo
sections as live only if their associated object file has at least one
live code/data section. This patch does that. In a (contrived but not
