This reduces how many times we have to map from OutputSection to
OutputSectionCommand. It is a required step to moving
clearOutputSections earlier.
In order to always use writeTo in OutputSectionCommand we have to call
fabricateDefaultCommands for -r links and move section compression
after it.

We can set SectionIndex tentatively as we process the linker script
instead of looking it repeatedly.
In general we should try to have as few name lookups as possible.
llvm-svn: 302299
We were already pretty close, the one exception was when a name was
reused in another SECTIONS directive:
SECTIONS {
.text : { *(.text) }
.data : { *(.data) }
}
SECTIONS {
.data : { *(other) }
}
In this case we would create a single .data and magically output
"other" while looking at the first OutputSectionCommand.
We now create two .data sections. This matches what gold does. If we
really want to create a single one, we should change the parser so that
the above is parsed as if the user had written
SECTIONS {
.text : { *(.text) }
.data : { *(.data) *(other)}
}
That is, there should be only one OutputSectionCommand for .data and
it would have two InputSectionDescriptions.
By itself this patch makes the code a bit more complicated, but is an
important step in allowing assignAddresses to operate just on the
linker script.

Executable sections should not be padded with zero by default. On some
architectures, 0x00 is the start of a valid instruction sequence, so can confuse
disassembly between InputSections (and indeed the start of the next InputSection
in some situations). Further, in the case of misjumps into padding, padding may
start to be executed silently.
On x86, the "0xcc" byte represents the int3 trap instruction. It is a single
byte long so can serve well as padding. This change switches x86 (and x86_64) to
use this value for padding in executable sections, if no linker script directive
overrides it. It also puts the behaviour into place making it easy to change the
behaviour of other targets when desired. I do not know the relevant instruction
sequences for trap instructions on other targets however, so somebody should add
this separately.
Because the old behaviour simply wrote padding in the whole section before
overwriting most of it, this change also modifies the padding algorithm to write
padding only where needed. This in turn has caused a small behaviour change with
regards to what values are written via Fill commands in linker scripts, bringing
it into line with ld.bfd. The fill value is now written starting from the end of
the previous block, which means that it always starts from the first byte of the
fill, whereas the old behaviour meant that the padding sometimes started mid-way
through the fill value. See the test changes for more details.

Cary pointed out that the section was a late addition and didn't got
the scrutiny it deserved. Given that and the problems found by
implementing the letter of the standard, I propose changing lld to
merge all sections with the same name and issue errors if the types or
some critical flags are different.
This should allow an unmodified firefox linked with lld to run.

The .ARM.exidx table has an entry for each function with the first entry
giving the start address of the function, the table is sorted in ascending
order of function address. Given a PC value, the unwinder will search the
table for the entry that contains the PC value.
If the table entry happens to be the last, the range of the addresses that
the final unwinding table describes will extend to the end of the address
space. To prevent an incorrect address outside the address range of the
program matching the last entry we follow ld.bfd's example and add a
sentinel EXIDX_CANTUNWIND entry at the end of the table. This gives the
final real table entry an upper bound.
In addition the llvm libunwind unwinder currently depends on the presence
of a sentinel entry (PR31091).

MergeOutputSection class was a bit hard to use because it provdes
a series of finalize functions that have to be called in a right way
at a right time. It also intereacted with MergeInputSection, and the
logic was somewhat entangled between the two classes.
This patch simplifies it by providing only one finalize function.
Now, all you have to do is to call MergeOutputSection::finalize
when you have added all sections to the output section. Then, it
internally merges strings and initliazes StringPiece objects.
I think this is much easier to understand.
This patch also adds comments.

Relocations are the last thing that we wore storing a raw section
pointer to and parsing on demand.
With this patch we parse it only once and store a pointer to the
actual data.
The patch also changes where we store it. It is now in
InputSectionBase. Not all sections have relocations, but most do and
this simplifies the logic. It also means that we now only support one
relocation section per section. Given that that constraint is
maintained even with -r with gold bfd and lld, I think it is OK.

Previously, we have both input and output section for .MIPS.abiflags.

This class is a synthetic input section.
.MIPS.abiflags sections are handled as regular sections until
the control reaches Writer. Writer then aggregates all sections
whose type is SHT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS to create a single synthesized
input section. The synthesized section is then processed normally

Previously, we added strings from DynamicSection::finalize().
It was a bit tricky because finalize() is supposed to fix the final
size of the section, but adding new strings would change the size of
.dynstr section. So there was a dependency between finalize functions
of .dynamic and .dynstr.
However, I noticed that we can elimiante the dependency by simply
add strings early; we don't have to do that in finalize() but can do
from DynamicSection's ctor.
This patch defines a new function, DynamicSection::addEntries, to
add .dynamic entries that doesn't depend on other sections.

Instead of storing a pointer, store the members we need.
The reason for doing this is that it makes it far easier to create
synthetic sections. It also avoids reading data from files multiple
times., which might help with cross endian linking and host
architectures with slow unaligned access.
There are obvious compacting opportunities, but this already has mixed
results even on native x86_64 linking.
There is also the possibility of better refactoring the code for
handling common symbols, but this already shows that a custom class is
not necessary.

When doing a relocatable link the .ARM.exidx sections with the

multiple .ARM.exidx InputSections in an OutputSection they all have the
same sh_link field.

Some MIPS relocations used to access GOT entries are able to manipulate
16-bit index. The other ones like R_MIPS_CALL_HI16/LO16 can handle
32-bit indexes. 16-bit relocations are generated by default. The 32-bit
relocations are generated by -mxgot flag passed to compiler. Usually
these relocation are not mixed in the same code but files like crt*.o
contain 16-bit relocations so even if all "user's" code compiled with
-mxgot flag a few 16-bit relocations might come to the linking phase.
Now LLD does not differentiate local GOT entries accessed via a 16-bit
and 32-bit indexes. That might lead to relocation's overflow if 16-bit
entries are allocated to far from the beginning of the GOT.
The patch introduces new "part" of MIPS GOT dedicated to the local GOT
entries accessed by 32-bit relocations. That allows to put local GOT
entries accessed via a 16-bit index first and escape relocation's overflow.

The .ARM.exidx sections contain a table. Each entry has two fields:
- PREL31 offset to the function the table entry describes
- Action to take, either cantunwind, inline unwind, or PREL31 offset to

The table entries must be sorted in order of the virtual addresses the
first entry of the table describes. Traditionally this is implemented by
the SHF_LINK_ORDER dependency. Instead of implementing this directly we
sort the table entries post relocation.
