We normally want to ignore SHT_NOBITS sections when computing
offsets. The sh_offset of section itself seems to be irrelevant and
- If the section is in the middle of a PT_LOAD, it will make no
difference on the computed offset of the followup section.
- If it is in the end of a PT_LOAD, we want to avoid its alignment
changing the offset of the followup sections.
The issue is if it is at the start of the PT_LOAD. In that case we do
have to align it so that the following sections have congruent address
and offset module the page size. We were not handling this case.
This should fix freebsd kernel link.

If using a version script with a `local: *` in it, symbols in shared
libraries will still get default visibility if another shared library on
the link line has an undefined reference to the symbol. This is quite
surprising. Neither bfd nor gold have this behavior when linking a
shared library, and none of LLD's tests fail without this behavior, so
it seems safe to limit scanShlibUndefined to executables.
As far as executables are concerned, gold doesn't do any automatic
default visibility marking, and bfd issues a link error about a shared
library having a reference to a hidden symbol rather than silently
giving that symbol default visibility. I think bfd's behavior here is
preferable to LLD's, but that's something to be considered in a
follow-up.

A more efficient PLT sequence can be used when the distance between the
.plt and the end of the .plt.got is less than 128 Megabytes, which is
frequently true. We fall back to the old sequence when the offset is larger
than 128 Megabytes. This gives us an alternative to forcing the longer

2. Always process combined module and write output to stream 0. Processing empty
combined module is cheap and allows llvm::LTO users to avoid implementing processing

The ARM.exidx section contains a table of 8-byte entries with the first
word of each entry an offset to the function it describes and the second
word instructions for unwinding if an exception is thrown from that
function. The SHF_LINK_ORDER processing will order the table in ascending
order of the functions described by the exception table entries. As the
address range of an exception table entry is terminated by the next table
entry, it is possible to merge consecutive table entries that have
identical unwind instructions.
For this implementation we define a table entry to be identical if:
- Both entries are the special EXIDX_CANTUNWIND.
- Both entries have the same inline unwind instructions.
We do not attempt to establish if table entries that are references to
.ARM.extab sections are identical.
This implementation works at a granularity of a single .ARM.exidx
InputSection. If all entries in the InputSection are identical to the
previous table entry we can remove the InputSection. A more sophisticated
but more complex implementation would rewrite InputSection contents so that
duplicates within a .ARM.exidx InputSection can be merged.

This patch provides the mechanism to fix instances of the instruction

provided by an alternative instruction sequence to remove one of the

replace the original instruction with a branch to the alternative

the original.
As there is only erratum to fix the implementation is specific to
AArch64 and the specific erratum conditions. It should be generalizable
to other targets and erratum if needed.

The size of an OutputSection is calculated early, to aid handling of compressed
debug sections. However, subsequent to this point, unused synthetic sections are
removed. In the event that an OutputSection, from which such an InputSection is
removed, is still required (e.g. because it has a symbol assignment), and no longer
has any InputSections, dot assignments, or BYTE()-family directives, the size
member is never updated when processing the commands. If the removed InputSection
had a non-zero size (such as a .got.plt section), the section ends up with the
wrong size in the output.
The fix is to reset the OutputSection size prior to processing the linker script
commands relating to that OutputSection. This ensures that the size is correct even
in the above situation.
Additionally, to reduce the risk of developers misusing OutputSection Size and
InputSection OutSecOff, they are set to simply the number of InputSections in an
OutputSection, and the corresponding index respectively. We cannot completely
stop using them, due to SHF_LINK_ORDER sections requiring them.
Compressed debug sections also require the full size. This is now calculated in
maybeCompress for these kinds of sections.

When an output section has no byte commands and has no input sections then it
would be ideal if the type of the section is SHT_NOBITS so that the file can

We were creating these symbols after parsing version scripts, so they

We cannot move the version script parsing later because we need it for

One option is to move both addReservedSymbols and
createSyntheticSections earlier. The disadvantage is that some
sections created by createSyntheticSections replace other input
sections. For example, gdb index replaces .debug_gnu_pubnames, so it
wants to run after gc sections so that it can set S->Live to false.

PR35478 https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35478 points out a flaw
in the implementation of r318924 from D40364. The implementation
depends on the Size field being set or the SyntheticSection::empty()
being accurate. These functions are not reliable as some linker script
commands that have yet to be processed may affect the results, causing
some non-zero size sections to be reported as zero size.
I think the first step is to revert r318924 and come up with a better
solution for the underlying problem rather than trying to layer more
heuristics onto the zero sized output section.
Chances are I'll be out of office by the time anyone sees this so feel
free to commit the revert if you agree with me.
Fixes PR35478
Current thoughts on the underlying problem:
Revisiting the motivation for adding the zero size check in the first
place; it was to prevent 0 sized SyntheticSections that a user does
not have full control over from needlessly breaking the PT_GNU_RELRO,
rather than trying to accommodate arbitrarily complex linker
scripts. Looking at the code, it looks like
removeUnusedSyntheticSections() should remove zero sized synthetic
sections. It does, but it doesn't set the Parent to nullptr, this has
the side effect that Sec == InX::BssRelRo->getParent() will make the
parent OutputSection of InX::BssRelRo RelRo even if there is no
InX::BssRelRo.
I tried a quick experiment with setting the Parent to nullptr and this
flushed out a few interesting test failures, it feels like playing
Jenga with every change:
In the isRelroSection() we have to consider the case where there
is no .plt and .plt.got but there is a ifunc plt with accompanying
(ifunc .got or .plt.got)
The PPC64 has PltHeaderSize == 0. Unfortunately HeaderSize == 0 is
used to choose between the ifunc plt or normal plt. We seem to get
away with this at the moment, but tests start to fail when Parent
is set to nullptr for the .got.plt.
The InX::BssRelRo and InX::Bss never get their sizes set and they
are always removed by removeUnusedSyntheticSections(), their
purpose seems to be as some kind of proxy for add .bss or
.bss.relro InputSections into their parent OutputSections, they
therefore don't behave like other SyntheticSections anyway.
My thinking is that some work is needed to make sure that the Sec ==
SyntheticSection->getParent() does a bit more checking before
returning true, particularly for InX::BssRelRo as that has special
behaviour. I'll hope to post something for review as soon as possible.

duplicate declaration of some variable.
That happens because for extracting line information we always use
.debug_line section content which describes mapping from machine
instructions to source file locations, what does not help for
variables as does not describe them.
In this patch I am taking the approproate information about
variables locations from the .debug_info section.

Summary:
**Problem**
`--exclude-libs` does not work for static libraries affected by the `--whole-archive` option.
**Description**
`--exclude-libs` creates a list of static library paths and does library lookups in this list.
`--whole-archive` splits the static libraries that follow it into separate objects. As a result, lld no longer sees static libraries among linked files and does no `--exclude-libs` lookups.
**Solution**
The proposed solution is to make `--exclude-libs` consider object files too. When lld finds an object file it checks whether this file originates from an archive and, if so, looks the archive up in the `--exclude-libs` list.

The Android relocation packing format is a more compact
format for dynamic relocations in executables and DSOs
that is based on delta encoding and SLEBs. An overview
of the format can be found in the Android source code:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/refs/heads/master/tools/relocation_packer/src/delta_encoder.h
This patch implements relocation packing using that format.
This implementation uses a more intelligent algorithm for compressing
relative relocations than Android's own relocation packer. As a
result it can generally create smaller relocation sections than
that packer. If I link Chromium for Android targeting ARM32 I get a
.rel.dyn of size 174693 bytes, as compared to 371832 bytes with gold
and the Android packer.

This is for PR34852.
GCC 8.0 or earlier have a bug that it emits R_386_GOTPC relocations

It was reported (https://reviews.llvm.org/D38724#902841) that when we use
-ffunction-sections --emit-relocs build, REL[A] output section receives the name of first
input section, like .rela.text.first_function_in_text rather than .rela.text.
It is probably not really an issue as sh_info still points to correct target section, but
it does not look clean in output and allows internal section name to leak there,
what at least looks confusing and is not consistent with ld.bfd.
Patch changes this behavior so that target output section name is used as a base.

Then first section has SHF_LINK_ORDER flag. But section foo should not.

When parsing linker scripts, LLD previously started with a '.' value of 0,
regardless of the internal default image base for the target, and regardless of

value when using linker scripts and --image-base is specified, since otherwise the
switch has no effect. This change does this, as well as removing unnecessary
initialisation of Dot where it is not used.
The default image base should not be used when processing linker
scripts, because this will change the behaviour for existing linker script users,
and potentially result in invalid output being produced, as a subsequent assignment
to Dot could move the location counter backwards. Instead, we maintain the existing
behaviour of starting from 0 if --image-base is not specified.

Before this patch we would copy foo into real_foo and wrap_foo into

With this patch we:
* save a copy of __real_foo before copying foo.
* drop one of the __wrap_foo from the symbol table.
* if __real_foo was not undefined, add a *new* symbol with that content to
the symbol table.
The net result is that
Anything using foo now uses __wrap_foo
Anything using __real_foo now uses foo.
Anything using __wrap_foo still does.
And the symbol table has foo, __wrap_foo and __real_foo (if defined).
Which I think is the desired behavior.

When reporting a symbol conflict, LLD parses the debug info to report
source location information. Sections have not been decompressed at this
point, so if an object file contains zlib compressed debug info, LLD
ends up passing this compressed debug info to the DWARF parser, which
causes debug info parsing failures and can trigger assertions in the
parser (as the test case demonstrates).
Decompress debug sections when constructing the LLDDwarfObj to avoid
this issue. This doesn't handle GNU-style compressed debug info sections

If symbol has the STO_MIPS_MICROMIPS flag and requires a thunk to perform
call PIC from non-PIC functions, we need to generate a thunk with microMIPS
code.
llvm-svn: 314797
Currently LLD calls the `isMicroMips` routine to determine type of PLT entries
needs to be generated: regular or microMIPS. This routine checks ELF
header flags in the `FirstObj` to retrieve type of linked object files.
So if the first file does not contain microMIPS code, LLD will generate
PLT entries with regular (non-microMIPS) code only.
Ideally, if a PLT entry is referenced by microMIPS code only this entry
should contain microMIPS code, if a PLT entry is referenced by regular
code this entry should contain regular code. In a "mixed" case the PLT
entry can be either microMIPS or regular, but each "cross-mode-call" has
additional cost.
It's rather difficult to implement this ideal solution. But we can
assume that if there is an input object file with microMIPS code, the
most part of the code is microMIPS too. So we need to deduce type of PLT
entries based on finally calculated ELF header flags and do not check
only the first input object file.
This change implements this.
- The `getMipsEFlags` renamed to the `calcMipsEFlags`. The function
called from the `LinkerDriver::link`. Result is stored in
the Configuration::MipsEFlags field.
- The `isMicroMips` and `isMipsR6` routines access the `MipsEFlags`
field to get and check calculated ELF flags.
- New types of PLT records created when necessary.

Previously, we had two levels of hash table lookup. The first hash

For ARM thunks, the `movt` half of the relocation was using an incorrect
offset (it was off by 4 bytes). The original intent seems to have been
for the offset to have been relative to the current instruction, in
which case the difference of 4 makes sense. As the code stands, however,
the offset is always calculated relative to the start of the thunk
(`P`), and so the `movw` and `movt` halves should use the same offset.
This requires a very particular offset between the thunk and its target
to be triggered, and it results in the `movt` half of the relocation
being off-by-one.
The tests here use ARM-Thumb interworking thunks, since those are the
only ARM thunks currently implemented. I actually encountered this with
a range extension thunk (having Peter's patches cherry-picked locally),

This patch goes back to considering ForceAbsolute in moveAbsRight, but
only if the second argument is not already absolute.
With this we can handle "foo + ABSOLUTE(foo)" and "ABSOLUTE(foo) + foo".
llvm-svn: 313800
The idea of this function is to simplify the implementation of binary
operators like add.
A value might be absolute because of an ABSOLUTE expression, but it
still depends on the value of a section and we might not be able to
evaluate it early. We should keep such values on the LHS, so that we
can delay the evaluation.
We can now handle both "1 + ABSOLUTE(foo)" and "ABSOLUTE(foo) + 1".

The previous logic was to try to detect if a linker script defined _gp
by checking !ElfSym::MipsGp->Value. That doesn't work in all cases as

We now just always defined it Writer.cpp and always overwrite it
afterwards if needed.
llvm-svn: 313788
Normally to find the offset of a value in a section, we have to
compute the value since the alignment is defined on the final address.
If the alignment is trivial, we can skip the value computation. This
allows us to know the offset even in cases where we cannot yet know
the value.

Given a linker script that ends in
.some_sec { ...} ;
__stack_start = .;

lld would put orphan sections like .comment before __stack_end,
corrupting the intended meaning.
The reason we don't normally move orphans past assignments to . is to
avoid breaking
rx_sec : { *(rx_sec) }
. = ALIGN(0x1000);
/* The RW PT_LOAD starts here*/
but in this case, there is nothing after and it seems safer to put the
orphan section last. This seems to match bfd's behavior and is

SHF_ALLOC sections, but not of any non SHF_ALLOC sections.

both input sections .foo into single output section .foo.

As the bug points out, we want to keep some relocations with undefined

Unfortunately, we cannot also just always claim that they are

plt entry when we don't even have a dynamic symbol table.
What almost works is to say that weak undefined symbols are
preemptible if and only if we have a dynamic symbol table. Almost
because we don't want to fail the build trying to create a copy
relocation to a weak undefined.

is done and the only synthesized BssSection that holds all commons has no file
associated with it:
SECTIONS { .common_0 : { *file0.o(COMMON) }}
This patch changes the allocation of commons to create a section per common
symbol and let the section logic do the layout.

There is no need to check anything excepr that
symbol is not in output.
Previously additional iformation like symbol values
or flags were checked, that was not correct.
For example if we would provide symbol with different
value/visibility/type for case when should not provide
symbol at all, testcase would not fail.

REGION_ALIAS(alias, region)
Alias names can be added to existing memory regions created with
the MEMORY command. Each name corresponds to at most one
memory region.

If --dynamic-list is given, only those symbols are preemptible.
This allows combining --dynamic-list and version scripts too. The
version script controls which symbols are visible, and --dynamic-list
controls which of those are preemptible.
This fixes pr34053.

To support errata patching on AArch64 we need to be able to overwrite
an arbitrary instruction with a branch. For AArch64 it is sufficient to
always write all the bits of the branch instruction and not just the
immediate field. This is safe as the non-immediate bits of the branch
instruction are always the same.
