I first had a more invasive patch for this (D101069), but while trying
to get that polished for review I realized that lld's current symbol
merging semantics mean that only a very small code change is needed.
So this goes with the smaller patch for now.
This has no effect on projects that build with -fvisibility=hidden
(e.g. chromium), since these see .private_extern symbols instead.
It does have an effect on projects that build with -fvisibility-inlines-hidden
(e.g. llvm) in -O2 builds, where LLVM's GlobalOpt pass will promote most inline
functions from .weak_definition to .weak_def_can_be_hidden.

This only happens if lld with the patch and lld without the patch are both
linked with an lld with the patch or both linked with an lld without the patch
(...or with ld64). I accidentally linked the lld with the patch with an lld
without the patch and the other way round at first. In that setup, no
difference is found. That makese sense, since having fewer weak imports will
make the linked output a bit faster too. So not only does this make linking
binaries such as clang a bit faster (since fewer exports need to be written to
the export trie by lld), the linked output binary binary is also a bit faster
(since dyld needs to process fewer dynamic imports).
This also happens to fix the one `check-clang` failure when using lld as host
linker, but mostly for silly reasons: See crbug.com/1183336, mostly comment 26.
The real bug here is that c-index-test links all of LLVM both statically and
dynamically, which is an ODR violation. Things just happen to work with this
patch.
So after this patch, check-clang, check-lld, check-llvm all pass with lld as

SUBTRACTOR relocations are always paired with UNSIGNED
relocations to indicate a pair of symbols whose address difference we
want. Functionally they are like a single relocation: only one pointer
gets written / relocated. Previously, we would handle these pairs by
skipping over the SUBTRACTOR relocation and writing the pointer when
handling the UNSIGNED reloc. This diff reverses things, so we write
while handling SUBTRACTORs and skip over the UNSIGNED relocs instead.
Being able to distinguish between SUBTRACTOR and UNSIGNED relocs in the

Previously, SyntheticSections.cpp did not have a top-level `using namespace
llvm::MachO` because it caused a naming conflict: `llvm::MachO::Symbol` would
collide with `lld::macho::Symbol`.
`MachO::Symbol` represents the symbols defined in InterfaceFiles (TBDs). By
moving the inclusion of InterfaceFile.h into our .cpp files, we can avoid this
name collision in other files where we are only dealing with LLD's own symbols.
Along the way, I removed all unnecessary "MachO::" prefixes in our code.
Cons of this approach: If TextAPI/MachO/Symbol.h gets included via some other
header file in the future, we could run into this collision again.
Alternative 1: Have either TextAPI/MachO or BinaryFormat/MachO.h use a different
namespace. Most of the benefit of `using namespace llvm::MachO` comes from being
able to use things in BinaryFormat/MachO.h conveniently; if TextAPI was under a
different (and fully-qualified) namespace like `llvm::tapi` that would solve our
problems. Cons: lots of files across llvm-project will need to be updated, and
folks who own the TextAPI code need to agree to the name change.
Alternative 2: Rename our Symbol to something like `LldSymbol`. I think this is
ugly.

worthwhile, this diff's halfway solution seems good enough to me. Thoughts?

The reexport-nested-libs test added in D97438 was a bit wonky.
First, it was linking against libReexportSystem.tbd which targets the
iOS simulator, and which in turn attempted to re-export the iOS
simulator's libSystem. However, due to the way `-syslibroot` works, it
was actually re-exporting the macOS libSystem.
As a result, the test was not actually able to resolve the symbols in
the desired libSystem. I'm guessing that @oontvoo was confused by this
and therefore included those symbols in libReexportSystem.tbd itself.
But this means that the test wasn't actually testing the resolution of
re-exported symbols (though it did at least verify that the re-exported
libraries could be located).
After some consideration, I figured that stub-link.s could be extended
to cover what reexport-nested-libs.s was attempting to do. The test
targets macOS, so we only have one `-syslibroot` and no chance of

Currently, it was delibrately impleneted to not handle this case, but as it has turnt out, we need this feature.
The concrete use case is
`System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa` reexports
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit , which then rexports
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/UIFoundation.framework/Versions/A/UIFoundation
The current implemention uses a global currentTopLevelTapi, which is not reset until it finishes loading the whole tree.
This is a problem because if the top-level is set to Cocoa, then when we get to UIFoundation, it will try to find UIFoundation in the current top level, which is Cocoa and will not find it.
The right thing should be:
- When loading a library from a TBD file, re-exports need to be looked up in the auxiliary documents within the same TBD.
- When loading from an actual dylib, no additional TBD documents need to be examined.
- In no case does a re-export mentioned in one TBD file need to be looked up in a document in an auxiliary document from a different TBD file

-flat_namespace makes lld emit binaries that use name lookup that's more in
line with other POSIX systems: Instead of looking up symbols as (dylib,name)
pairs by dyld, they're instead looked up just by name.
-flat_namespace has three effects:
1. MH_TWOLEVEL and MH_NNOUNDEFS are no longer set in the Mach-O header
2. All symbols use BIND_SPECIAL_DYLIB_FLAT_LOOKUP as ordinal
3. When a dylib is added to the link, its dependent dylibs are also added,
so that lld can verify that no undefined symbols remain at the end of
a link with -flat_namespace. These transitive dylibs are added for symbol
resolution, but they are not emitted in LC_LOAD_COMMANDs.
-undefined with -flat_namespace still isn't implemented. Before this change,
it was impossible to hit that combination because -flat_namespace caused a
diagnostic. Now that it no longer does, emit a dedicated temporary diagnostic

When parsing bitcode, convert LTO Symbols to LLD Symbols in order to perform
resolution. The "winning" symbol will then be marked as Prevailing at LTO
compilation time. This is similar to what the other LLD ports do.
This change allows us to handle `linkonce` symbols correctly, and to deal with
duplicate bitcode symbols gracefully. Previously, both scenarios would result in
an assertion failure inside the LTO code, complaining that multiple Prevailing
definitions are not allowed.
While at it, I also added basic logic around visibility. We don't do anything
useful with it yet, but we do check that its value is valid. LLD-ELF appears to
use it only to set FinalDefinitionInLinkageUnit for LTO, which I think is just a
performance optimization.
From my local experimentation, the linker itself doesn't seem to do anything
differently when encountering linkonce / linkonce_odr / weak / weak_odr. So I've
only written a test for one of them. LLD-ELF has more, but they seem to mostly
be testing the intermediate bitcode output of their LTO backend...? I'm far from

I've adjusted the RelocAttrBits to better fit the semantics of
the relocations. In particular:
1. *_UNSIGNED relocations are no longer marked with the `TLV` bit, even
though they can occur within TLV sections. Instead the `TLV` bit is
reserved for relocations that can reference thread-local symbols, and
*_UNSIGNED relocations have their own `UNSIGNED` bit. The previous
implementation caused TLV and regular UNSIGNED semantics to be
conflated, resulting in rebase opcodes being incorrectly emitted for TLV
relocations.
2. I've added a new `POINTER` bit to denote non-relaxable GOT
relocations. This distinction isn't important on x86 -- the GOT
relocations there are either relaxable or non-relaxable loads -- but
arm64 has `GOT_LOAD_PAGE21` which loads the page that the referent
symbol is in (regardless of whether the symbol ends up in the GOT). This
relocation must reference a GOT symbol (so must have the `GOT` bit set)
but isn't itself relaxable (so must not have the `LOAD` bit). The
`POINTER` bit is used for relocations that *must* reference a GOT
slot.
3. A similar situation occurs for TLV relocations.
4. ld64 supports both a pcrel and an absolute version of
ARM64_RELOC_POINTER_TO_GOT. But the semantics of the absolute version
are pretty weird -- it results in the value of the GOT slot being
written, rather than the address. (That means a reference to a
dynamically-bound slot will result in zeroes being written.) The
programs I've tried linking don't use this form of the relocation, so
I've dropped our partial support for it by removing the relevant
RelocAttrBits.
