It looks like there is a possibility of seeing RO/RW note sections
and we would need to create an appropriate RO/RW segment associated
with them.
Adds a test too.

The compiler is allowed to add a linker option starting with -?<name> to
.drectve section. If the linker can interpret -<name>, it's processed as if
there's no question mark there. If not, such option is silently ignored.
This is a COFF's feature to allow the compiler to emit new linker options
while keeping compatibility with older linkers.
llvm-svn: 189897
This changes the interface of createLinkerInput to use ErrorOr, so that
errors from the linker can be captured.
Also adds a convenience function for error strings to be returned from
file nodes.

This creates .init_array/.fini_array section for X86_64 ELF

This adds an API to the LinkingContext for flavors to add Internal files
containing atoms that need to appear in the YAML output as well, when -emit-yaml
switch is used.
Flavors can add more internal files for other options that are needed.
llvm-svn: 189718
We added layout edges to the head atoms in grouped sections. That was wrong,
because the head atom needs to be followed by the other atoms in the *same*
section, not by the other section contents. With this patch, layout edges are
added from tail atom, which is the last atom in a section, to head atom.
llvm-svn: 189573
Because of a bug, the last atom of each section contained a garbage at the
end of its data. In most cases the garbage is harmless but it could have cause
SEGV.

With this patch the entry symbol is treated as an undefined symbol, to force
the resolver to resolve the entry symbol.

This change processes fini_array section in addition to processing

The debug flag being checked for seems to be controlled by whether the
build is asserts/non-asserts rather than debug/non-debug. Mostly these
correlate, but not necessarily.
As far as I can tell with various combinations of debug/assetions this
change makes no difference on autotools builds, but fixes a check-all
failure with CMake.
llvm-svn: 189147
There may be relocations that may be pointing to the section
even if the section sizes are 0. We shouldnot ignore them
for that regard.

typeTLV content type is used by Darwin to represent thread local
storage. A new contentType has to be made to represent ELF
thread local storage data. These have been set to
- typeThreadZeroFill (represents TBSS storage)
- typeThreadData (represents TDATA storage)
llvm-svn: 189137
BSS atoms dont take any file space in the Input file. They are associated
with a contentType(typeZeroFill). Similiar zero fill types also exist which
have the same meaning in terms of occupying file space in the Input.
These atoms have to be handled seperately when writing to the
lld's intermediate file or the lld test infrastructure.
Also adds a test.
llvm-svn: 189136
The import name is not always the same as the symbol name. If the name/type
field in the import header is NOPREFIX or UNDECORATE, we need to strip some
characters from symbol to get its import name.
The Microsoft PE/COFF spec is vague if symbol contains more than two
consecutive characters to be stripped. We used to strip all characters,
but it doesn't seem right as we couldn't link against the system library
because of this name mangling. Looks like we shouldn't strip more than one
character.
llvm-svn: 188154
__ImageBase is a symbol having 4 byte integer equal to the image base address
of the resultant executable. The linker is expected to create the symbol as if
it were read from a file.
In order to emit the symbol contents only when the symbol is actually
referenced, we created a pseudo library file to wrap the linker generated
symbol. The library file member is emitted to the output only when the member
is actually referenced, which is suitable for our purpose.
llvm-svn: 188052
The COMDAT section is a section with a special attribute to tell the linker
whether the symbols in the section are allowed to be merged or not. This patch
add a function to interpret the COMDAT data and set "merge" attribute to the
atoms accordingly.
LLD supports multiple policies to merge atoms; atoms can be merged by name or
by content. COFF supports them, and in addition to that, it supports
choose-the-largest-atom policy, which LLD currently does not support. I simply
mapped it to merge-by-name attribute for now, but we eventually have to support
that policy in the core linker.
llvm-svn: 188025
Summary:
The .drectve section contains linker command line options, and the linker is
expected to interpret them as if they were given via the command line. In this
patch, the command line parser in the driver is called from the object file
reader to parse the string.
I think this patch is important, because this is the first step towards mutable
TargetInfo. We had a discussion about that on llvm-commits mailing list before.
I haven't removed "const" from the function signature yet. Instead, I just use
cast to remove "const". This is a temporary aid for an experiment. If we don't
see any issue with this mutable TargetInfo appraoch, I'll change the function
signature, and rename the class LinkerContext from TargetInfo.

The /include command line option is equivalent to Unix --undefined
option, which forces the linker to resolve the given symbol name
as if it's an unresolved symbol in one of its input files. This feature
is used to link an additional object file or a shared library that no
input files refer to.

This change adds functionality to add more sections like .gcc_except_table,
.data.rel.local, .data.rel.ro into the default section map, so that they are
all merged into appropriate output sections.
This also makes c++ static binaries comparable to what you get with the default
linker.
Adds a test for testing the functionality.

Summary:
COFFReference class is defined to represent relocation information for
COFFDefinedAtom, as ELFReference for ELFDefinedAtom. ReaderCOFF can now
read relocation entries and create COFFReferences accordingly.
I need to make WriterPECOFF to handle the relocation references created by
the reader, but this patch is already big, so I think it's probably better
to get it reviewed now.

Found that having a method to check the strucutre of the followon graph makes
it easy to debug file readers. The method checks if there's no wrong edge in
