When a symbol is not exported outside of the
DSO, it is can be hidden. Usually we try to internalize
as much as possible, but it is not always possible, for
instance a symbol can be referenced outside of the LTO
unit, or there can be cross-module reference in ThinLTO.
This is a recommit of r293912 after fixing build failures,
and a recommit of r293918 after fixing LLD tests.

When we undefine, we also preserve type of symbol so that we get

Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D20851
llvm-svn: 271403
This allows the combined LTO object to provide a definition with the same
name as a symbol that was internalized without causing a duplicate symbol
error. This normally happens during parallel codegen which externalizes
originally-internal symbols, for example.
In order to make this work, I needed to relax the undefined symbol error to
only report an error for symbols that are used in regular objects.

This patch increases the size of Undefined by the size of a pointer,
but it wouldn't actually increase the size of memory that LLD uses
because we are not allocating the exact size but the size of the
largest SymbolBody.
llvm-svn: 268310
This patch implements a new design for the symbol table that stores
SymbolBodies within a memory region of the Symbol object. Symbols are mutated
by constructing SymbolBodies in place over existing SymbolBodies, rather
than by mutating pointers. As mentioned in the initial proposal [1], this
memory layout helps reduce the cache miss rate by improving memory locality.
Performance numbers:
old(s) new(s)
Without debug info:
chrome 7.178 6.432 (-11.5%)
LLVMgold.so 0.505 0.502 (-0.5%)
clang 0.954 0.827 (-15.4%)
llvm-as 0.052 0.045 (-15.5%)
With debug info:
scylla 5.695 5.613 (-1.5%)
clang 14.396 14.143 (-1.8%)
Performance counter results show that the fewer required indirections is
indeed the cause of the improved performance. For example, when linking
chrome, stalled cycles decreases from 14,556,444,002 to 12,959,238,310, and
instructions per cycle increases from 0.78 to 0.83. We are also executing
many fewer instructions (15,516,401,933 down to 15,002,434,310), probably
because we spend less time allocating SymbolBodies.
The new mechanism by which symbols are added to the symbol table is by calling
add* functions on the SymbolTable.
In this patch, I handle local symbols by storing them inside "unparented"
SymbolBodies. This is suboptimal, but if we do want to try to avoid allocating
these SymbolBodies, we can probably do that separately.
I also removed a few members from the SymbolBody class that were only being
used to pass information from the input file to the symbol table.
This patch implements the new design for the ELF linker only. I intend to
prepare a similar patch for the COFF linker.

We currently don't do a good job of diagnosing inputs that would require
dynamic relocations to be applied to read only segments.
I am about to improve lld in that area, but unfortunately we developed
tests that depend on the current behavior.
To make clear what is actually changing, this first patch just updates
tests to not depend on the current behavior. In most cases this just
means using a rw section instead of a ro one, but that unfortunately
changes many addresses.

This patch only implements support for version scripts of the form:
{ [ global: symbol1; symbol2; [...]; symbolN; ] local: *; };
No wildcards are supported, other than for the local entry. Symbol versioning
is also not supported.
It works by introducing a new Symbol flag which tracks whether a symbol
appears in the global section of a version script.
This patch also simplifies the logic in SymbolBody::isPreemptible(), and
teaches it to handle the case where symbols with default visibility in DSOs
do not appear in the dynamic symbol table because of a version script.
Fixes PR27482.

Since there is a copy in every translation unit that uses them, they can
be omitted from the symbol table if the address is not significant.
This still doesn't catch as many cases as the gold plugin. The
difference is that we check canBeOmittedFromSymbolTable in each file and
use lazy loading which limits what it can do. Gold checks it in the merged file.
I think the correct way of getting the same results as gold is just to
cache in the IR the result of canBeOmittedFromSymbolTable.
llvm-svn: 267063
Rafael reported on the mailing list that this reduces peak memory
usage while linking llvm-as by 15%. It makes sense to make it
the default, and introduce an inverse knob -lto-no-discard-value-names
for those who want to restore the old behavior.
llvm-svn: 267020
The gold plugin logic for common symbols is a little bit convoluted
as the plugin API has not an explicit way to update the alignment.
In gold, then, we need to keep the bitcode symbol @a around because
that's the only way to get the alignment right in the final object.
In lld, this is not true. We already have all the informations we
need about common symbols (size/alignment) so we don't have to
keep the existing symbol and pass it to the mover.

start-lib and end-lib are options to link object files in the same
semantics as archive files. If an object is in start-lib and end-lib,
the object is linked only when the file is needed to resolve
undefined symbols. That means, if an object is in start-lib and end-lib,
it behaves as if it were in an archive file.
In this patch, I introduced a new notion, LazyObjectFile. That is
analogous to Archive file type, but that works for a single object
file instead of for an archive file.

So, there are some cases when the IR Linker produces a broken
module (which doesn't pass the verifier) and we end up asserting
inside the verifier. I think it's always a bug producing a module
which does not pass the verifier but there are some cases in which
people can live with the broken module (e.g. if only DebugInfo
metadata are broken). The gold plugin has something similar.
This commit is motivated by a situation I found in the
wild. It seems that somebody else discovered it independently
and reported in PR24923.

We already got this right, but it never hurts adding another

Currently we create a file called .lto.bc. In UNIX,
ls(1) by default doesn't show up files starting with
a dot, as they're (only by convention) hidden.
This makes the output of -save-temps a little bit
hard to find. Use "a.out.lto.bc" instead if the
output file is not specified.
While here, change an existing -save-temps test to
exercise this more interesting behaviour.
llvm-svn: 265254
If a symbol is defined in an archive, when we replace its body
the isUsedInRegularObj wasn't set correctly. Internalize makes
its decision based on that bit so we ended up internalizing
symbols that we shouldn't (because they're referenced).
This should fix. Thanks to Peter and Rafael for discussion
and help diagnosing the issue!
Found during LTO of unittests.

This fixes bootstrap of llvm-tblgen (with LTO) and PR27150.
Slightly longer explanation follows.
Emission of .init_array instead of .ctors is supported only on a
subset of the Target LLVM supports. Codegen needs to be conservative
and always emit .ctors unless instructed otherwise (based on target).
If the dynamic linker sees .init_array it completely ignores
what's inside .ctors and therefore some constructors are not called
(and this causes llvm-tblgen to crash on startup).
Teach LLD/LTO about the Codegen options so we end up always emitting
.init_array and avoid this issue.
In future, we might end up supporting mix of .ctors and .init_array
in different input files if this shows up as a real-world use case.
The way gold handles this case is mapping .ctors from input into
.init_array in output. There's also another caveat because
as far as I understand .ctors run in reverse order so when we do
the copy/mapping we need to reverse copy in the output if there's
more than one ctor. That's why I'd rather avoid this complicate logic
unless there's a real need.
An analogous reasoning holds for .dtors/.fini_array.

Some optimizations, e.g. SimplifyLibCalls, can replace functions with
others as part of the lowering, e.g. printf => puts.
The new symbols don't have the isUsedInRegularObj flag set so they
don't get included in the final symbol table (and dynamic symbol
table), and the dynamic linker gets confused. Include them as a fix.
