Not all relocations from a .eh_frame that point to an executable
section should be ignored. In particular, the relocation finding the
personality function should not.
This is a reduction from trying to bootstrap a static lld on linux.
llvm-svn: 276329
We no longer need it for relocations in .eh_frame.
The only relocations that point to .eh_frame are the ones trying to
find the output .eh_frame.
This actually fixes a bug in the symbol value code. It was not
handling -1 as an indicator for a piece not being included in the
output.
llvm-svn: 276175
We will need to do something like this to support range extension
thunks since that process is iterative.
Doing this also has the advantage that when doing the regular
relocation scan the offset in the output section is known and we can
just store that. This reduces the number of times we have to run
getOffset and I think will allow a more specialized .eh_frame
representation.
By itself this is already a performance win.

The patch adds one more partition to the MIPS GOT. This time it is for
TLS related GOT entries. Such entries are located after 'local' and 'global'
ones. We cannot get a final offset for these entries at the time of
creation because we do not know size of 'local' and 'global' partitions.
So we have to adjust the offset later using `getMipsTlsOffset()` method.
All MIPS TLS relocations which need GOT entries operates MIPS style GOT
offset - 'offset from the GOT's beginning' - MipsGPOffset constant. That
is why I add new types of relocation expressions.
One more difference from othe ABIs is that the MIPS ABI does not support
any TLS relocation relaxations. I decided to make a separate function
`handleMipsTlsRelocation` and put MIPS TLS relocation handling code
there. It is similar to `handleTlsRelocation` routine and duplicates its
code. But it allows to make the code cleaner and prevent pollution of
the `handleTlsRelocation` by MIPS 'if' statements.

Peter Smith found while trying to support thunk creation for ARM that
LLD sometimes creates broken thunks for MIPS. The cause of the bug is
that we assign file offsets to input sections too early. We need to
create all sections and then assign section offsets because appending
thunks changes file offsets for all following sections.
This patch separates the pass to assign file offsets from thunk
creation pass. This effectively reverts r265673.

There are two motivations for this patch. The first one is a preparation
for support MIPS TLS relocations. It might sound like a joke but for GOT
entries related to TLS relocations MIPS ABI uses almost regular approach
with creation of dynamic relocations for each GOT enty etc. But we need
to separate these 'regular' TLS related entries from MIPS specific local
and global parts of GOT. ABI declare simple solution - all TLS related
entries allocated at the end of GOT after local/global parts. The second
motivation it to support GOT relocations for non-preemptible symbols
with addends. If we have more than one GOT relocations against symbol S
with different addends we need to create GOT entries for each unique
Symbol/Addend pairs.
So we store all MIPS GOT entries in separate containers. For non-preemptible
symbols we have to maintain two data structures. The first one is MipsLocal
vector. Each entry corresponds to the GOT entry from the 'local' part
of the GOT contains the symbol's address plus addend. The second one
is MipsLocalMap. It is a map from Symbol/Addend pair to the GOT index.

This is mostly extracted from http://reviews.llvm.org/D18960.
The general idea for tlsdesc is that the two GD got entries are used
for a function pointer and its argument. The dynamic linker sets
both. In the non-dlopen case the dynamic linker sets the function to
the identity and the argument to the offset in the tls block.
All that the static linker has to do in the non-dlopen case is
relocate the code to point to the got entries and create a dynamic
relocation.
The dlopen case is more complicated, but can be implemented in another patch.

MergedInputSection::getOffset is the busiest function in LLD if string
merging is enabled and input files have lots of mergeable sections.
It is usually the case when creating executable with debug info,
so it is pretty common.
The reason why it is slow is because it has to do faily complex
computations. For non-mergeable sections, section contents are
contiguous in output, so in order to compute an output offset,
we only have to add the output section's base address to an input
offset. But for mergeable strings, section contents are split for
merging, so they are not contigous. We've got to do some lookups.
We used to do binary search on the list of section pieces.
It is slow because I think it's hostile to branch prediction.
This patch replaces it with hash table lookup. Seems it's working
pretty well. Below is "perf stat -r10" output when linking clang
with debug info. In this case this patch speeds up about 4%.

Previously, mergeable section's constructors did more than just
setting member variables; it split section contents into small
pieces. It is not always computationally cheap task because if
the section is a mergeable string section, it needs to scan the
entire section to split them by NUL characters.
If a section would be thrown away by GC, that cost ended up
being a waste of time. It is going to be larger problem if the
section is compressed -- the whole time to uncompress it and
split it up is going to be a waste.
Luckily, we can defer section splitting after GC. We just have
to remember which offsets are in use during GC and apply that later.
This patch implements it.

We were previously using an output offset of -1 for both GC'd and tail
merged pieces. We need to distinguish these two cases in order to filter
GC'd symbols from the symbol table -- we were previously asserting when we
asked for the VA of a symbol pointing into a dead piece, which would end
up asking the tail merging string table for an offset even though we hadn't
initialized it properly.
This patch fixes the bug by using an offset of -1 to exclusively mean GC'd
pieces, using 0 for tail merges, and distinguishing the tail merge case from
an offset of 0 by asking the output section whether it is tail merge.

With this patch we use the first scan over the relocations to remember
the information we found about them: will them be relaxed, will a plt be
used, etc.
With that the actual relocation application becomes much simpler. That
is particularly true for the interfaces in Target.h.
This unfortunately means that we now do two passes over relocations for
non SHF_ALLOC sections. I think this can be solved by factoring out the
code that scans a single relocation. It can then be used both as a scan
that record info and for a dedicated direct relocation of non SHF_ALLOC
sections.
I also think it is possible to reduce the number of enum values by
representing a target with just an OutputSection and an offset (which
can be from the start or end).
This should unblock adding features like relocation optimizations.

Our symbol representation was redundant, and some times would get out of
sync. It had an Elf_Sym, but some fields were copied to SymbolBody.
Different parts of the code were checking the bits in SymbolBody and
others were checking Elf_Sym.
There are two general approaches to fix this:
* Copy the required information and don't store and Elf_Sym.
* Don't copy the information and always use the Elf_Smy.
The second way sounds tempting, but has a big problem: we would have to
template SymbolBody. I started doing it, but it requires templeting
*everything* and creates a bit chicken and egg problem at the driver
where we have to find ELFT before we can create an ArchiveFile for
example.
As much as possible I compared the test differences with what gold and
bfd produce to make sure they are still valid. In most cases we are just
adding hidden visibility to a local symbol, which is harmless.
In most tests this is a small speedup. The only slowdown was scylla
(1.006X). The largest speedup was clang with no --build-id, -O3 or
--gc-sections (i.e.: focus on the relocations): 1.019X.

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 patch implements the same algorithm as LLD/COFF's ICF. I'm
not going to repeat the same description about how it works, so you
want to read the comment in ICF.cpp in this patch if you want to know
the details. This algorithm should be more powerful than the ICF
algorithm implemented in GNU gold. It can even merge mutually-recursive
functions (which is harder than one might think).
ICF is a fairly effective size optimization. Here are some examples.
LLD: 37.14 MB -> 35.80 MB (-3.6%)
Clang: 59.41 MB -> 57.80 MB (-2.7%)
The lacking feature is "safe" version of ICF. This merges all
identical sections. That is not compatible with a C/C++ language
requirement that two distinct functions must have distinct addresses.
But as long as your program do not rely on the pointer equality
(which is in many cases true), your program should work with the
feature. LLD works fine for example.
GNU gold implements so-called "safe ICF" that identifies functions
that are safe to merge by heuristics -- for example, gold thinks
that constructors are safe to merge because there is no way to
take an address of a constructor in C++. We have a different idea
which David Majnemer suggested that we add NOPs at beginning of
merged functions so that two or more pointers can have distinct
values. We can do whichever we want, but this patch does not
include neither.

Out<ELFT>::Got->getEntryAddr(Sym). This change adds new functions, getVA,
getGotVA, getGotPltVA, and getPltVA to SymbolBody, so that you can use
SymbolBody as the central place to ask about symbols.

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

In many situations, we don't want to exit at the first error even in the
process model. For example, it is better to report all undefined symbols
rather than reporting the first one that the linker picked up randomly.
In order to handle such errors, we don't need to wrap everything with
ErrorOr (thanks for David Blaikie for pointing this out!) Instead, we
can set a flag to record the fact that we found an error and keep it
going until it reaches a reasonable checkpoint.
This idea should be applicable to other places. For example, we can
ignore broken relocations and check for errors after visiting all relocs.
In this patch, I rename error to fatal, and introduce another version of
error which doesn't call exit. That function instead sets HasError to true.
Once HasError becomes true, it stays true, so that we know that there
was an error if it is true.
I think introducing a non-noreturn error reporting function is by itself
a good idea, and it looks to me that this also provides a gradual path
towards lld-as-a-library (or at least embed-lld-to-your-program) without
sacrificing code readability with lots of ErrorOr's.

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.

MipsReginfoInputSection is basically just a container of Elf_Mips_Reginfo
struct. This patch makes that struct directly accessible from others.
llvm-svn: 256984
The R_MIPS_GPREL16 / R_MIPS_GPREL32 relocations use the following
expressions for calculations:
```
local symbol: S + A + GP0 - GP
global symbol: S + A - GP
GP - Represents the final gp value, i.e. _gp symbol
GP0 - Represents the gp value used to create the relocatable object
```
The GP0 value is taken from the .reginfo data section defined by an object
file. To implement that I keep a reference to `MipsReginfoInputSection`
in the `ObjectFile` class. This reference is used by the
`ObjectFile::getMipsGp0` method to return the GP0 value.

There are 3 symbol types that a .bc can provide during lto: defined,
undefined, common.
Defined and undefined symbols have already been refactored. I was
working on common and noticed that absolute symbols would become an
oddity: They would be the only symbol type present in a .o but not in
a.bc.
Looking a bit more, other than the special section number they were only
used for special rules for computing values. In that way they are
similar to TLS, and we don't have a DefinedTLS.
This patch deletes it. With it we have a reasonable rule of the thumb
for having a symbol kind: It exists if it has special resolution
semantics.

This patch changes sequence of applying relocations, moving tls optimized relocation handling code before code for other locals.

MIPS .reginfo section provides information on the registers used by
the code in the object file. Linker should collect this information and
write .reginfo section in the output file. This section contains a union

Some MIPS relocations including `R_MIPS_HI16/R_MIPS_LO16` use combined
addends. Such addend is calculated using addends of both paired relocations.
Each `R_MIPS_HI16` relocation is paired with the next `R_MIPS_LO16`
relocation. ABI requires to compute such combined addend in case of REL
relocation record format only.
For details see p. 4-17 at
ftp://www.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/mipsabi.pdf
This patch implements lookup of the next paired relocation suing new
`InputSectionBase::findPairedRelocLocation` method. The primary
disadvantage of this approach is that we put MIPS specific logic into
the common code. The next disadvantage is that we lookup `R_MIPS_LO16`
for each `R_MIPS_HI16` relocation, while in fact multiple `R_MIPS_HI16`
might be paired with the single `R_MIPS_LO16`. From the other side
this way allows us to keep `MipsTargetInfo` class stateless and implement
later relocation handling in parallel.
This patch does not support `R_MIPS_HI16/R_MIPS_LO16` relocations against
`_gp_disp` symbol. In that case the relocations use a special formula for
the calculation. That will be implemented later.

Combination of @tlsgd and @gottpoff at the same time leads to miss of R_X86_64_TPOFF64 dynamic relocation. Patch fixes that.
@tlsgd(%rip) - Allocate two contiguous entries in the GOT to hold a tls index
structure (for passing to tls get addr).
@gottpoff(%rip) - Allocate one GOT entry to hold a variable offset in initial TLS
block (relative to TLS block end, %fs:0).
The same situation can be observed for x86 (probably others too, not sure) with corresponding for that target relocations: @tlsgd, @gotntpoff.

Original commit message:
[ELF] - Refactor of tls_index implementation for tls local dynamic model.
Patch contains the next 2 changes:
1) static variable Out<ELFT>::LocalModuleTlsIndexOffset moved to Out<ELFT>::Got. At fact there is no meaning for it to be separated from GOT class because at each place of using it anyways needs to call GOT`s getVA(). Also it is impossible to have that offset and not have GOT.
2) addLocalModuleTlsIndex -> addLocalModelTlsIndex (word "Module" changed to "Model"). Not sure was it a mistype or not but I think that update is closer to Urlich terminology.

R_386_TLS_LE_32 - Offset relative to static TLS block.
These ones are created when using next code sequences:
* @tpoff - The operator must be used to compute an immediate value. The linker will report
an error if the referenced variable is not defined or it is not code for the executable
itself. No GOT entry is created in this case.
* @ntpoff Calculate the negative offset of the variable it is added to relative to the static TLS block.
The operator must be used to compute an immediate value. The linker will report

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/817-3677/chapter6-26/index.html says:
R_386_GOTPC
Resembles R_386_PC32, except that it uses the address of the global offset table in its calculation. The symbol referenced in this relocation normally is _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, which also instructs the link-editor to create the global offset table.
Currently _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ has value == zero. And we use GOT address to calculate the relocation. This patch does not changes that. It just removes the method which is used only for x86. So it is close to non functional change.

leaq symbol@tlsld(%rip), %rdi
call __tls_get_addr@plt
symbol@tlsld (R_X86_64_TLSLD) instructs the linker to generate a tls_index entry (two GOT slots) in the GOT for the entire module (shared object or executable) with an offset of 0. The symbol for this GOT entry doesn't matter (as long as it's either local to the module or null), and gold doesn't put a symbol in the dynamic R_X86_64_DTPMOD64 relocation for the GOT entry.
All other platforms defined in http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/tls.pdf except for Itanium use a similar model where global and local dynamic GOT entries take up 2 contiguous GOT slots, so we can handle this in a unified manner if we don't care about Itanium.
While scanning relocations we need to identify local dynamic relocations and generate a single tls_index entry in the GOT for the module and store the address of it somewhere so we can later statically resolve the offset for R_X86_64_TLSLD relocations. We also need to generate a R_X86_64_DTPMOD64 relocation in the RelaDyn relocation section.
This implementation is a bit hacky. It side steps the issue of GotSection and RelocationSection only handling SymbolBody entries by relying on a specific relocation type. The alternative to this seemed to be completely rewriting how GotSection and RelocationSection work, or using a different hacky signaling method.

relocateOne is a function to apply a relocation. Previously, that
function took a pointer to Elf_Rel or Elf_Rela in addition to other
information that can be derived from the relocation entry. This patch
simplifies the parameter list. The new parameters, P or SA, are used
in the ELF spec to describe each relocation. These names make
relocateOne look like a mechanical, direct translation of the ELF spec.
