D73474 disabled the generation of interworking thunks for branch
relocations to non STT_FUNC symbols. This patch handles the case of BL and
BLX instructions to non STT_FUNC symbols. LLD would normally look at the
state of the caller and the callee and write a BL if the states are the
same and a BLX if the states are different.
This patch disables BL/BLX substitution when the destination symbol does
not have type STT_FUNC. This brings our behavior in line with GNU ld which
may prevent difficult to diagnose runtime errors when switching to lld.

Many of the debug line prologue errors are not inherently fatal. In most
cases, we can make reasonable assumptions and carry on. This patch does
exactly that. In the case of length problems, the approach of "assume
stated length is correct" is taken which means the offset might need
adjusting.

ELF for the ARM architecture requires linkers to provide
interworking for symbols that are of type STT_FUNC. Interworking for
other symbols must be encoded directly in the object file. LLD was always
providing interworking, regardless of the symbol type, this breaks some
programs that have branches from Thumb state targeting STT_NOTYPE symbols
that have bit 0 clear, but they are in fact internal labels in a Thumb
function. LLD treats these symbols as ARM and inserts a transition to Arm.
This fixes the problem for in range branches, R_ARM_JUMP24,
R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 and R_ARM_THM_JUMP19. This is expected to be the vast
majority of problem cases as branching to an internal label close to the
function.
There is at least one follow up patch required.
- R_ARM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_CALL may do interworking via BL/BLX
substitution.
In theory range-extension thunks can be altered to not change state when
the symbol type is not STT_FUNC. I will need to check with ld.bfd to see if
this is the case in practice.

-fno-pie produces a pair of non-GOT-non-PLT relocations R_PPC_ADDR16_{HA,LO} (R_ABS) referencing external
functions.
```
lis 3, func@ha
la 3, func@l(3)
```
In a -no-pie/-pie link, if func is not defined in the executable, a canonical PLT entry (st_value>0, st_shndx=0) will be needed.
References to func in shared objects will be resolved to this address.
-fno-pie -pie should fail with "can't create dynamic relocation ... against ...", so we just need to think about -no-pie.
On x86, the PLT entry passes the JMP_SLOT offset to the rtld PLT resolver.
On x86-64: the PLT entry passes the JUMP_SLOT index to the rtld PLT resolver.
On ARM/AArch64: the PLT entry passes &.got.plt[n]. The PLT header passes &.got.plt[fixed-index]. The rtld PLT resolver can compute the JUMP_SLOT index from the two addresses.
For these targets, the canonical PLT entry can just reuse the regular PLT entry (in PltSection).
On PPC32: PltSection (.glink) consists of `b PLTresolve` instructions and `PLTresolve`. The rtld PLT resolver depends on r11 having been set up to the .plt (GotPltSection) entry.
On PPC64 ELFv2: PltSection (.glink) consists of `__glink_PLTresolve` and `bl __glink_PLTresolve`. The rtld PLT resolver depends on r12 having been set up to the .plt (GotPltSection) entry.
We cannot reuse a `b PLTresolve`/`bl __glink_PLTresolve` in PltSection as a canonical PLT entry. PPC64 ELFv2 avoids the problem by using TOC for any external reference, even in non-pic code, so the canonical PLT entry scenario should not happen in the first place.
For PPC32, we have to create a PLT call stub as the canonical PLT entry. The code sequence sets up r11.

Summary:
Third part in series to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization
Enablement, see RFC here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
This patch adds type test metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
even for classes without hidden visibility. It then changes WPD to skip
devirtualization for a virtual function call when any of the compatible
vtables has public vcall visibility.
Additionally, internal LLVM options as well as lld and gold-plugin
options are added which enable upgrading all public vcall visibility
to linkage unit (hidden) visibility during LTO. This enables the more
aggressive WPD to kick in based on LTO time knowledge of the visibility
guarantees.
Support was added to all flavors of LTO WPD (regular, hybrid and
index-only), and to both the new and old LTO APIs.
Unfortunately it was not simple to split the first and second parts of
this part of the change (the unconditional emission of type tests and
the upgrading of the vcall visiblity) as I needed a way to upgrade the
public visibility on legacy WPD llvm assembly tests that don't include
linkage unit vcall visibility specifiers, to avoid a lot of test churn.
I also added a mechanism to LowerTypeTests that allows dropping type
test assume sequences we now aggressively insert when we invoke
distributed ThinLTO backends with null indexes, which is used in testing
mode, and which doesn't invoke the normal ThinLTO backend pipeline.
Depends on D71907 and D71911.

Emitting a GLOB_DAT will make the address equal &__ehdr_start (true

from weak references, which do not have defined semantics.

Linker scripts allow filenames to be put in double quotes to prevent
characters in filenames that are part of the linker script syntax from
having their special meaning. Case in point the * wildcard character.
Availability of double quoting filenames also allows to fix a failure in
ELF/linkerscript/filename-spec.s when the path contain a @ which the
lexer consider as a special characters and thus break up a filename
containing it. This may happens under Jenkins which createspath such as

To avoid the need for escaping GlobPattern metacharacters in filename

to request literal matching instead of relying on the presence of a
wildcard character in the pattern.

The INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS linker script command is used to constrain the
section pattern matching to sections that match certain combinations of
flags.
There are two ways to express the constraint.
withFlags: Section must have these flags.
withoutFlags: Section must not have these flags.
The syntax of the command is:
INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS '(' sect_flag_list ')'
sect_flag_list: NAME
| sect_flag_list '&' NAME
Where NAME matches a section flag name such as SHF_EXECINSTR, or the
integer value of a section flag. If the first character of NAME is ! then
it means must not contain flag.
We do not support the rare case of { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS(flags) filespec }
where filespec has no input section description like (.text).
As an example from the ld man page:
SECTIONS {
.text : { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS (SHF_MERGE & SHF_STRINGS) *(.text) }
.text2 : { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS (!SHF_WRITE) *(.text) }
}
.text will match sections called .text that have both the SHF_MERGE and
SHF_STRINGS flag.
.text2 will match sections called .text that don't have the SHF_WRITE flag.
The flag names accepted are the generic to all targets and SHF_ARM_PURECODE
as it is very useful to filter all the pure code sections into a single
program header that can be marked execute never.

Summary:
Unlike R_RISCV_RELAX, which is a linker hint, R_RISCV_ALIGN requires the
support of the linker even when ignoring all R_RISCV_RELAX relocations.
This is because the compiler emits as many NOPs as may be required for
the requested alignment, more than may be required pre-relaxation, to
allow for the target becoming more unaligned after relaxing earlier
sequences. This means that the target is often not initially aligned in
the object files, and so the R_RISCV_ALIGN relocations cannot just be
ignored. Since we do not support linker relaxation, we must turn these
into errors.

In D71281 a fix was put in to round up the size of a ThunkSection to the
nearest 4KiB when performing errata patching. This fixed a problem with a
very large instrumented program that had thunks and patches mutually
trigger each other. Unfortunately it triggers an assertion failure in an
AArch64 allyesconfig build of the kernel. There is a specific assertion
preventing an InputSectionDescription being larger than 4KiB. This will
always trigger if there is at least one Thunk needed in that
InputSectionDescription, which is possible for an allyesconfig build.
Abstractly the problem case is:
.text : {
*(.text) ;
...
. = ALIGN(SZ_4K);
__idmap_text_start = .;
*(.idmap.text)
__idmap_text_end = .;
...
}
The assertion checks that __idmap_text_end - __idmap_start is < 4 KiB.
Note that there is more than one InputSectionDescription in the
OutputSection so we can't just restrict the fix to OutputSections smaller
than 4 KiB.
The fix presented here limits the D71281 to InputSectionDescriptions that
meet the following conditions:
1.) The OutputSection is bigger than the thunkSectionSpacing so adding
thunks will affect the addresses of following code.
2.) The InputSectionDescription is larger than 4 KiB. This will prevent
any assertion failures that an InputSectionDescription is < 4 KiB
in size.
We do this at ThunkSection creation time as at this point we know that
the addresses are stable and up to date prior to adding the thunks as
assignAddresses() will have been called immediately prior to thunk
generation.
The fix reverts the two tests affected by D71281 to their original state
as they no longer need the 4KiB size roundup. I've added simpler tests to
check for D71281 when the OutputSection size is larger than the ThunkSection
spacing.

A fix for `llvm/test/Other/close-stderr.ll` is proposed in D68164. Seems
the consensus is that the test is passing by chance and I'm not

The rest of the test fixes are just adding `--crash` flag to `not` tool.
** The reason it fixes PR35547 is
`exit` does cleanup including calling class destructor whereas `abort`
does not do any cleanup. In multithreading environment such as ThinLTO or JIT,
threads may share states which mostly are ManagedStatic<>. If faulting thread
tearing down a class when another thread is using it, there are chances of
memory corruption. This is bad 1. It will stop error reporting like pretty
stack printer; 2. The memory corruption is distracting and nondeterministic in
terms of error message, and corruption type (depending one the timing, it
could be double free, heap free after use, etc.).

When compiling position-independent executables, we now use

previous behaviour of generating absolute relocations.
With this change clang-generated .o files can be linked by LLD without
having to pass -Wl,-z,notext (which creates text relocations).
This is simpler than the approach used by ld.bfd, which rewrites the
.eh_frame section to convert absolute relocations into relative references.
I saw in D13104 that apparently ld.bfd did not accept pc-relative relocations

For a target symbol defined in the same section, currently we don't emit

foo:
call foo # no relocation. On other targets, may be written as b foo, etc
call bar # a relocation if bar is in another section (e.g. -ffunction-sections)
call foo@plt # a relocation

Unify these cases by always emitting a relocation. If we ever want to
