Currently ld.lld -r allocates space for common symbols, whereas ld.bfd
-r doesn't. As a result the OpenBSD makefile bits for creating libraries
fail as they use ld -X -r to strip local symbols, which results in
duplicate symbol errors because space for the common symbols has been
allocated.
The diff also implements the --define-commons option such that allocation
of commons can be forced even if -r is used.
Patch by Mark Kettenis.

Previously, that was an alias to -color-diagnostics=auto. However,
Clang's -fcolor-diagnostics is an alias to -fcolor-diagnostics=always,
so that was confusing. This patch fixes that issue.

--retain-symbols-file=filename
Retain only the symbols listed in the file filename, discarding all others.
filename is simply a flat file, with one symbol name per line. This option
is especially useful in environments (such as VxWorks) where a large global
symbol table is accumulated gradually, to conserve run-time memory.
Note: though documentation says "--retain-symbols-file does not discard
undefined symbols, or symbols needed for relocations.", both bfd and gold
do that, and this patch too, like testcase show.

It os used in work/emulators/qemu-user-static port.
Which tries to use -Ttext-segment and then:
# In case ld does not support -Ttext-segment, edit the default linker
# script via sed to set the .text start addr. This is needed on FreeBSD
# at least.
<here it calls -verbose to extract and edit default bfd linker script.>
Actually now we are do not fully support -Ttext properly (see D27613),
but we also seems never will provide anything close to default script, like bfd do,
so at least this patch introduces proper alias handling.

-color-diagnostics=auto is default because that's the same as
Clang's default. When color is enabled, error or warning messages
are colored like this.
error:
<bold>ld.lld</bold> <red>error:</red> foo.o: no such file
warning:
<bold>ld.lld</bold> <magenta>warning:</magenta> foo.o: no such file

This is in the context of https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=31109.
When LLD prints out errors for relocations, it tends to print out
extremely large number of errors (like millions) because it would
print out one error per relocation.
This patch makes LLD bail out if it prints out more than 20 errors.
You can configure the limitation using -error-limit argument.
-error-limit=0 means no limit.
I chose the flag name because Clang has the same feature as -ferror-limit.
"f" doesn't make sense to us, so I omitted it.

GNU linkers disagree here.
Though both -version and -v are mentioned
in help to print the version information, GNU ld just normally exits,
while gold can continue linking. We are compatible with ld.bfd here.

Though the patch was technically correct,
the only FreeBSD port (noticed atm) that tried using it was
www/mod_jk. And it seems just passed gcc option to linker by mistake:
"-Wl,-L-L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-fstack-protector -Wl,-fstack-protector -o mod_jk.la "
Given that it is an easy mistake to make, reverting for now.

Patch allows to pass a symbols file to linker.
LLD will map symbols to sections and sort sections
in output according to symbol ordering file.
That can help to reduce the startup time and/or
amount of pagefaults during startup.
Also, interesting benchmark result was produced by Rafael Espíndola.
After applying the symbols file for clang he timed compiling
X86MCTargetDesc.ii to an object file.
The page faults went from just
56,988 to 56,946 since most faults are not in the binary.
Running time went from 4.403053515 to 4.178112244.
The speedup seems to be because of better cache
locality.

During link of devel/chrpath (FreeBSD port), found next issue:
/usr/bin/ld: error: unclosed comment in a linker script
/usr/bin/ld: error: line 1: unknown directive: �
/usr/bin/ld: error: ��
Problem was not obvious and the reason was that we did not accept
the separate form of -R. While invocation line contained it:
cc -Wl,-R /usr/local/lib -o prog prog.c
CPIO file produced contained /usr/local/lib file.
Which looks because of reasons above
contained inside the content of whole lib folder,
and it then was passed as an input and
proccessed as linker script.

As the state of lld gets more complicated, shutting down gets more
expensive.
In a normal lld run we can just call _exit immediately after renaming
the temporary output file. We still want the ability to run a full
shutdown since that is useful for detecting memory leaks.
This patch adds a --full-shutdown flag and changes lit to use it.

In this patch partial gdb_index section is created.

Creates proper section header.
Fills list of compilation units.
Types CU list area is not supposed to be supported, so it is ignored and therefore

The R_ARM_TARGET2 relocation is used in ARM exception tables to encode
a data dependency that will only be dereferenced by code in the
run-time support library. In a similar way to R_ARM_TARGET1 the
handling of the relocation is target specific, it maps to one of
R_ARM_ABS32, R_ARM_REL32 or R_ARM_GOT_PREL. The choice depends on the
run-time library. R_ARM_GOT_PREL is used for linux and BSD,
R_ARM_ABS32 and R_ARM_REL32 are used for bare-metal.
The command line option --target2=<target> can be used to select the
relocation used for R_ARM_TARGET2. The default is R_ARM_GOT_PREL.

--section-start=sectionname=org
Locate a section in the output file at the absolute address given by org.
You may use this option as many times as necessary to locate multiple sections in the command line.
org must be a single hexadecimal integer; for compatibility with other linkers,
you may omit the leading `0x' usually associated with hexadecimal values.
Note: there should be no white space between sectionname, the equals sign (“<=>”), and org.
-Tbss=org
-Tdata=org
-Ttext=org
Same as --section-start, with .bss, .data or .text as the sectionname.
