Some targets might require creation of thunks. For example, MIPS targets
require stubs to call PIC code from non-PIC one. The patch implements
infrastructure for thunk code creation and provides support for MIPS
LA25 stubs. Any MIPS PIC code function is invoked with its address
in register $t9. So if we have a branch instruction from non-PIC code
to the PIC one we cannot make the jump directly and need to create a small
stub to save the target function address.
See page 3-38 ftp://www.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/mipsabi.pdf
- In relocation scanning phase we ask target about thunk creation necessity
by calling `TagetInfo::needsThunk` method. The `InputSection` class
maintains list of Symbols requires thunk creation.
- Reassigning offsets performed for each input sections after relocation
scanning complete because position of each section might change due
thunk creation.
- The patch introduces new dedicated value for DefinedSynthetic symbols
DefinedSynthetic::SectionEnd. Synthetic symbol with that value always
points to the end of the corresponding output section. That allows to
escape updating synthetic symbols if output sections sizes changes after
relocation scanning due thunk creation.
- In the `InputSection::writeTo` method we write thunks after corresponding
input section. Each thunk is written by calling `TargetInfo::writeThunk` method.
- The patch supports the only type of thunk code for each target. For now,
it is enough.

This simplifies a few things
* Read the value as early as possible, instead of passing a pointer to
the location.
* Print the warning for missing pair close to where we find out it is
missing.
* Don't pass the value to relocateOne.

It was a badly specified hack for when a tls relocation should be
propagated to the dynamic relocation table.
This replaces it with a not as bad hack of saying that a local dynamic
tls relocation is never preempted.
I will try to remove even that second hack in the next patch.

Patch changes the return type of Target::relaxTls
to size_t from unsigned. That is consistent with
its use from other code.

The rules for when we can relax tls relocations are target independent.
The only things that are target dependent are the relocation values.
llvm-svn: 262748
For shared libraries we allow any weak undefined symbol to eventually be
resolved, even if we never see a definition in another .so. This matches
the behavior when handling other undefined symbols in a shared library.
For executables, we require seeing a definition in a .so or resolve it
to zero. This is also similar to how non weak symbols are handled.

This patch adds some TLS relocations and relaxations for AArch64.
Some Global-Dynamic relocation are handled by optimizing them to
Local-Exec (Initial-Exec is not yet supported). They are:
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_ADR_PAGE21
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_LD64_LO12_NC
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_ADD_LO12_NC
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_CALL
Also some Init-Exec is optimized to Local-Exec if possible. They are:
- R_AARCH64_TLSIE_ADR_GOTTPREL_PAGE21
- R_AARCH64_TLSIE_LD64_GOTTPREL_LO12_NC
Finally some Local-Exec relocation are handled in relocateOne:
- R_AARCH64_TLSLE_ADD_TPREL_HI12
- R_AARCH64_TLSLE_ADD_TPREL_LO12_NC
This work is mainly for compiler bootstrap, where static binaries is
showing good progress (although shared object still lacking support
from both TLS aarch64 backend and some other issues).

Previously, Target held a value until a new value is assigned to the
variable. That was a benign leak -- that was not an unbounded leak
and didn't grab any resources except a small amount of memory. But
it is better to fix than leaving as is.

This is the function equivalent of a copy relocation.
Since functions are expected to change sizes, we cannot use copy
relocations. In situations where one would be needed, what is done
instead is:
* Create a plt entry
* Output an undefined symbol whose addr is the plt entry.
The dynamic linker makes sure any shared library uses the plt entry as
the function address.

Symbol does not need an entry i the 'global' part of GOT if it cannot be
preempted. So canBePreempted fully satisfies us at least for now.

This function is a predicate that a given relocation can be relaxed.
The previous name implied that it returns true if a given relocation

Some MIPS relocation (for now R_MIPS_GOT16) requires creation of GOT
entries for symbol not included in the dynamic symbol table. They are
local symbols and non-local symbols with 'local' visibility. Local GOT
entries occupy continuous block between GOT header and regular GOT
entries.
The patch adds initial support for handling local GOT entries. The main
problem is allocating local GOT entries for local symbols. Such entries
should be initialized by high 16-bit of the symbol value. In ideal world
there should be no duplicated entries with the same values. But at the
moment of the `Writer::scanRelocs` call we do not know a value of the
symbol. In this patch we create new local GOT entry for each relocation
against local symbol, though we can exhaust GOT quickly. That needs to
be optimized later. When we calculate relocation we know a final symbol
value and request local GOT entry index. To do that we maintain map
between addresses and local GOT entry indexes. If we start to calculate
relocations in parallel we will have to serialize access to this map.

MIPS ABI has relocations like R_MIPS_JALR which is just a hint for
linker to make some code optimization. Such relocations should not be
handled as a regular ones and lead to say dynamic relocation creation.
The patch introduces new virtual `Target::isHintReloc` method, overrides
it in the `MipsTargetInfo` class and calls it in the `Writer<ELFT>::scanRelocs`
method.

This relocation is similar to R_*_RELATIVE except that the value used in this relocation is the program address returned by the function, which takes no arguments, at the address of
the result of the corresponding R_*_RELATIVE relocation as specified in the processor-specific ABI. The purpose of this relocation to avoid name lookup for locally defined STT_GNU_IFUNC symbols at load-time.

R_386_GOTOFF is calculated as S + A - GOT, where:
S - Represents the value of the symbol whose index resides in the relocation entry.
A - Represents the addend used to compute the value of the relocatable field.
GOT - Represents the address of the global offset table.

@indntpoff is similar to @gotntpoff, but for use in position dependent code. While @gotntpoff resolves to GOT slot address relative to the
start of the GOT in the movl or addl instructions, @indntpoff resolves to the
