Thunks are now implemented by redirecting the relocation to the
symbol S, to a symbol TS in a Thunk. The Thunk will transfer control
to S. This has the following implications:
- All the side-effects of Thunks happen within createThunks()
- Thunks are no longer stored in InputSections and Symbols no longer
need to hold a pointer to a Thunk
- The synthetic Thunk sections need to be merged into OutputSections
This implementation is almost a direct conversion of the existing
Thunks with the following exceptions:
- Mips LA25 Thunks are placed before the InputSection that defines
the symbol that needs a Thunk.
- All ARM Thunks are placed at the end of the OutputSection of the
first caller to the Thunk.
Range extension Thunks are not supported yet so it is optimistically
assumed that all Thunks can be reused.

Previously we stored kept locals in a KeptLocalSyms arrays,

Patch makes SymbolTableSection to store locals in Symbols member,

SymbolTableSection already had NumLocals counter member, so change
itself is trivial.
That allows to simplify handling of -r,
Body::DynsymIndex is no more used as "symbol table index" for relocatable

The MipsGotSection::getPageEntryOffset calculates index of GOT entry
with a "page" address. Previously this method changes the state
of MipsGotSection because it modifies PageIndexMap field. That leads
to the unpredictable results if getPageEntryOffset called from multiple threads.
The patch makes getPageEntryOffset constant. To do so it calculates GOT
entry index but does not update PageIndexMap field. Later in the
MipsGotSection::writeTo method linker calculates "page" addresses and
writes them to the output.

Uncompressing section contents and spliting mergeable section contents
into smaller chunks are heavy tasks. They scan entire section contents
and do CPU-intensive tasks such as uncompressing zlib-compressed data
or computing a hash value for each section piece.
Luckily, these tasks are independent to each other, so we can do that
in parallel_for_each. The number of input sections is large (as opposed
to the number of output sections), so there's a large parallelism here.
Actually the current design to call uncompress() and splitIntoPieces()
in batch was chosen with doing this in mind. Basically what we need to
do here is to replace `for` with `parallel_for_each`.
It seems this patch improves latency significantly if linked programs
contain debug info (which in turn contain lots of mergeable strings.)
For example, the latency to link Clang (debug build) improved by 20% on
my machine as shown below. Note that ld.gold took 19.2 seconds to do
the same thing.

Offset between beginning of a .got section and _gp symbols used in MIPS
GOT relocations calculations. Usually the expression looks like
VA + Offset - GP, where VA is the .got section address, Offset - offset
of the GOT entry, GP - offset between .got and _gp. Also there two "magic"
symbols _gp_disp and __gnu_local_gp which hold the offset mentioned above.
These symbols might be referenced by MIPS relocations.
Now the linker always defines _gp symbol and uses hardcoded value for
its initialization. So offset between .got and _gp is 0x7ff0. The _gp_disp
and __gnu_local_gp defined if required and initialized by 0x7ff0.
In fact that is not correct because _gp symbol might be defined by a linker
script and holds arbitrary value. In that case we need to use this value
in relocation calculation and initialize _gp_disp and __gnu_local_gp
properly.
The patch fixes the problem and completes fixing the bug #30311.

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.
Now we have only one class for .MIPS.abiflags, which is MipsAbiFlagsSection.
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
as if it came from an input file.

or SHT_MIPS_OPTIONS to create a single synthesized input section. In that
moment Writer also save GP0 value to the MipsGp0 field of the corresponding

The ARM 32 and 64-bit ABI does not use 0 for undefined weak references
that are used in PC relative relocations. In particular:
- A branch relocation to an undefined weak resolves to the next
instruction. Effectively making the branch a no-op
- In all other cases the symbol resolves to the place so that S + A - P

A CommonInputSection is a section containing all common symbols.

The example reported in PR30793 shows a case where gc reclaims
a SHF_TLS section, but it doesn't reclaim the section containing
the debug info for it.
This is expected, as we do not reclaim non-alloc sections
during the garbage collection phase (and this is not going to
change anytime soon, at least this is what I gathered last I
talked with Rafael about it).
So, we end up with a pending reference, thinking that the input
was invalid (which is not true, as it's GC that removed the
SHT_TLS section, and therefore didn't create the PT_TLS *segment*
for it). In cases like this, just assign a VA of zero at relocation
time instead of error'ing out (this is what gold does as well, FWIW).

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.

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.

Previously, we supported only SHF_COMPRESSED sections because it's
new and it's the ELF standard. But there are object files compressed
in the GNU style out there, so we had to support it.
Sections compressed in the GNU style start with ".zdebug_" and
contain different headers than the ELF standard's one. In this
patch, getRawCompressedData is responsible to handle it.
A tricky thing about GNU-style compressed sections is that we have
to rename them when creating output sections. ".zdebug_" prefix
implies the section is compressed. We need to rename ".zdebug_"
".debug" because our output sections are not compressed.
We do that in this patch.

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
.ARM.extab section
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.
The .ARM.exidx OutputSection is described by the PT_ARM_EXIDX program
header
