The R_ARM_ALU_PC_G0 and R_ARM_LDR_PC_G0 relocations are used by the
ADR and LDR pseudo instructions, and are the basis of the group
relocations that can load an arbitrary constant via a series of add, sub
and ldr instructions.
The relocations need to be obtained via the .reloc directive.
R_ARM_ALU_PC_G0 is much more complicated as the add/sub instruction uses
a modified immediate encoding of an 8-bit immediate rotated right by an
even 4-bit field. This means that the range of representable immediates
is sparse. We extract the encoding and decoding functions for the modified
immediate from llvm/lib/Target/ARM/MCTargetDesc/ARMAddressingModes.h as
this header file is not accessible from LLD. Duplication of code isn't
ideal, but as these are well-defined mathematical functions they are
unlikely to change.

This is an alternative design to D77512.
D45195 added --warn-backrefs to detect
* A. certain input orders which GNU ld either errors ("undefined reference")
or has different resolution semantics
* B. (byproduct) some latent multiple definition problems (-ldef1 -lref -ldef2) which I
call "linking sandwich problems". def2 may or may not be the same as def1.
When an archive appears more than once (-ldef -lref -ldef), lld and GNU
ld may have the same resolution but --warn-backrefs may warn. This is
not uncommon. For example, currently lld itself has such a problem:
```
liblldCommon.a liblldCOFF.a ... liblldCommon.a
_ZN3lld10DWARFCache13getDILineInfoEmm in liblldCOFF.a refers to liblldCommon.a(DWARF.cpp.o)
libLLVMSupport.a also appears twice and has a similar warning
```
glibc has such problems. It is somewhat destined because of its separate
libc/libpthread/... and arbitrary grouping. The situation is getting
improved over time but I have seen:
```
-lc __isnanl references -lm
-lc _IO_funlockfile references -lpthread
```
There are also various issues in interaction with other runtime
libraries such as libgcc_eh and libunwind:
```
-lc __gcc_personality_v0 references -lgcc_eh
-lpthread __gcc_personality_v0 references -lgcc_eh
-lpthread _Unwind_GetCFA references -lunwind
```
These problems are actually benign. We want --warn-backrefs to focus on
its main task A and defer task B (which is also useful) to a more
specific future feature (see gold --detect-odr-violations and
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43110).
Instead of warning immediately, we store the message and only report it
if no subsequent lazy definition exists.
The use of the static variable `backrefDiags` is similar to `undefs` in
Relocations.cpp

This patch adds lld support for basic block sections and performs relaxations
after the basic blocks have been reordered.
After the linker has reordered the basic block sections according to the
desired sequence, it runs a relaxation pass to optimize jump instructions.
Currently, the compiler emits the long form of all jump instructions. AMD64 ISA
supports variants of jump instructions with one byte offset or a four byte
offset. The compiler generates jump instructions with R_X86_64 32-bit PC
relative relocations. We would like to use a new relocation type for these jump
instructions as it makes it easy and accurate while relaxing these instructions.
The relaxation pass does two things:
First, it deletes all explicit fall-through direct jump instructions between
adjacent basic blocks. This is done by discarding the tail of the basic block
section.
Second, If there are consecutive jump instructions, it checks if the first
conditional jump can be inverted to convert the second into a fall through and
delete the second.
The jump instructions are relaxed by using jump instruction mods, something
like relocations. These are used to modify the opcode of the jump instruction.
Jump instruction mods contain three values, instruction offset, jump type and
size. While writing this jump instruction out to the final binary, the linker
uses the jump instruction mod to determine the opcode and the size of the
modified jump instruction. These mods are required because the input object
files are memory-mapped without write permissions and directly modifying the
object files requires copying these sections. Copying a large number of basic
block sections significantly bloats memory.

The aliased options in the --help output use double dashes. It is
inconsistent to have single-dashed messages. Additionally, -l and -t are
common short options and single-dashed forms prefixed with them can
cause confusion.
In most cases, LLD prints its multiline diagnostic messages starting

When reporting an "undefined symbol" diagnostic:
* We don't print @ for the reference.
* We don't print @ or @@ for the definition. https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45318
This can lead to confusing diagnostics:
```
// foo may be foo@v2

>>> referenced by t1.o:(.text+0x1)
// foo may be foo@v1 or foo@@v1
>>> did you mean: foo
>>> defined in: t.so

There are 2 ways a symbol in symtab may get truncated:
* A @@ definition may be truncated *early* by SymbolTable::insert().
The name ends with a '\0'.
* A @ definition/reference may be truncated *later* by Symbol::parseSymbolVersion().
The name ends with a '@'.
This patch detects the second case and improves the diagnostics. The first case is
not improved but the second case is sufficient to make diagnostics not confusing.

The default GNU linker script uses the following idiom for the array
sections. I'll use .init_array here, but this also applies to
.preinit_array and .fini_array sections.
.init_array :
{
PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__init_array_start = .);
KEEP (*(.init_array))
PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__init_array_end = .);
}
The C-library will take references to the _start and _end symbols to
process the array. This will make LLD keep the OutputSection even if there
are no .init_array sections. As the current check for RELRO uses the
section type for .init_array the above example with no .init_array
InputSections fails the checks as there are no .init_array sections to give
the OutputSection a type of SHT_INIT_ARRAY. This often leads to a
non-contiguous RELRO error message.
The simple fix is to a textual section match as well as a section type
match.

Having used this for a while, I never wished there were more

each has 10 references (which I've seen in practice), and each
undefined symbol produces 2 (possibly very long) lines of output,
that's over 200 lines of error output.

Currently, `error: incompatible section flags for .rodata` is reported
when we mix SHF_LINK_ORDER and non-SHF_LINK_ORDER sections in an output section.
This is overconstrained. This patch allows mixed flags with the
requirement that SHF_LINK_ORDER sections must be contiguous. Mixing
flags is used by Linux aarch64 (https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/953)
.init.data : { ... KEEP(*(__patchable_function_entries)) ... }
When the integrated assembler is enabled, clang's -fpatchable-function-entry=N[,M]
implementation sets the SHF_LINK_ORDER flag (D72215) to fix a number of
garbage collection issues.
Strictly speaking, the ELF specification does not require contiguous
SHF_LINK_ORDER sections but for many current uses of SHF_LINK_ORDER like
.ARM.exidx/__patchable_function_entries there has been a requirement for
the sections to be contiguous on top of the requirements of the ELF
specification.
This patch also imposes one restriction: SHF_LINK_ORDER sections cannot
be separated by a symbol assignment or a BYTE command. Not allowing BYTE
is a natural extension that a non-SHF_LINK_ORDER cannot be a separator.
Symbol assignments can delimiter the contents of SHF_LINK_ORDER
sections. Allowing SHF_LINK_ORDER sections across symbol assignments
(especially __start_/__stop_) can make things hard to explain. The
restriction should not be a problem for practical use cases.

Before this patch, it wasn't possible to extend the ThinLTO threads to all SMT/CMT threads in the system. Only one thread per core was allowed, instructed by usage of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() in the ThinLTO code. Any number passed to the LLD flag /opt:lldltojobs=..., or any other ThinLTO-specific flag, was previously interpreted in the context of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency(), which means SMT disabled.
One can now say in LLD:
/opt:lldltojobs=0 -- Use one std::thread / hardware core in the system (no SMT). Default value if flag not specified.
/opt:lldltojobs=N -- Limit usage to N threads, regardless of usage of heavyweight_hardware_concurrency().
/opt:lldltojobs=all -- Use all hardware threads in the system. Equivalent to /opt:lldltojobs=$(nproc) on Linux and /opt:lldltojobs=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% on Windows. When an affinity mask is set for the process, threads will be created only for the cores selected by the mask.
When N > number-of-hardware-threads-in-the-system, the threads in the thread pool will be dispatched equally on all CPU sockets (tested only on Windows).
When N <= number-of-hardware-threads-on-a-CPU-socket, the threads will remain on the CPU socket where the process started (only on Windows).

Any OUTPUT_FORMAT in a linker script overrides the emulation passed on
the command line, so record the passed bfdname and use that in the error
message about incompatible input files.
This prevents confusing error messages. For example, if you explicitly
pass `-m elf_x86_64` to LLD but accidentally include a linker script
which sets `OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)`, LLD would previously complain
about your input files being compatible with elf_x86_64, which isn't the
actual issue, and is confusing because the input files are in fact
x86-64 ELF files.
Interestingly enough, this also prevents a segfault! When we don't pass
`-m` and we have an object file which is incompatible with the
`OUTPUT_FORMAT` set by a linker script, the object file is checked for
compatibility before it's added to the objectFiles vector.
config->emulation, objectFiles, and sharedFiles will all be empty, so
we'll attempt to access bitcodeFiles[0], but bitcodeFiles is also empty,
so we'll segfault. This commit prevents the segfault by adding
OUTPUT_FORMAT as a possible source of machine configuration, and it also
adds an llvm_unreachable to diagnose similar issues in the future.

The R_ARM_THM_PC8 has a special encoding convention for the relocation
