GNU linkers define __bss_start symbol.
Patch teaches LLD to do that. This is PR32051.
Below is part of standart ld.bfd script:
.data1 : { *(.data1) }
_edata = .; PROVIDE (edata = .);
. = .;
__bss_start = .;
.bss :
{
Currently LLD can emit up to 3 .bss* sections as one of testcase shows.
Implementation inserts this symbol before first .bss* output section.

Was fixed, details on review page.
Original commit message:
That removes CopyRelSection class completely, making
Bss/BssRelRo to be just regular synthetics.
This is splitted from D30541 and polished.
Difference from D30541 that all logic of SharedSymbol
converting to DefinedRegular was removed for now and
probably will be posted as separate patch.

With this we have a single section hierarchy. It is a bit less code,
but the main advantage will be in a future patch being able to handle
foo = symbol_in_obj;
in a linker script. Currently that fails since we try to find the
output section of symbol_in_obj. With this we should be able to just
return an InputSection from the expression.

In compare with D30458, this makes Bss/BssRelRo to be pure
synthetic sections.
That removes CopyRelSection class completely, making
Bss/BssRelRo to be just regular synthetics.
SharedSymbols involved in creating copy relocations are
converted to DefinedRegular, what also simplifies things.

That function doesn't use any member of SymbolTableSection, so I
couldn't see a reason to make it a member of that class. The function
takes a SymbolBody, so it is more natural to make it a member of
SymbolBody.

With the current design an InputSection is basically anything that
goes directly in a OutputSection. That includes plain input section
but also synthetic sections, so this should probably not be a
template.

This patch removes NeedsCopyOrPltAddr and instead add two variables,
NeedsCopy and NeedsPltAddr. This uses one more bit in Symbol class,
but the actual size doesn't increase because we had unused bits.
This should improve code readability.

In the target dependent code we already always return a int64_t. In
the target independent code we carefully use uintX_t, which has the
same result given 2 complement rules.
This just simplifies the code to use int64_t everywhere.

When we need a copy relocation we create a synthetic SHT_NOBITS
section that contains the right amount of ZI and assign it to either
.bss or .rel.ro.bss as appropriate. This allows the dynamic relocation
to be placed on the InputSection, removing the last case where a
dynamic relocation is stored as an offset from the OutputSection. This
has the side effect that we can run assignOffsets() after scanRelocs()
without losing the additional ZI needed for the copy relocations.

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.
This is a recommit of r293283 with a fixed comparison predicate as
std::merge requires a strict weak ordering.

The symbols _end, end, _etext, etext, _edata, edata and __ehdr_start
refer to positions in the file and are therefore not absolute. Making
them absolute was on unfortunate cargo cult of what bfd was doing.
Changing the symbols allows for pc relocations to them to be resolved,
which should fix the wine build.

When reserving copy relocation space for a shared symbol, scan the DSO's
program headers to see if the symbol is in a read-only segment. If so,
reserve space for that symbol in a new synthetic section named .bss.rel.ro
which will be covered by the relro program header.

In a shared library an undefined symbol is implicitly imported. If the
symbol is called as a function a PLT entry is generated for it. When the
caller is a Thumb b.w a thunk to the PLT entry is needed as all PLT
entries are in ARM state.
This change allows undefined symbols to have thunks in the same way that
shared symbols may have thunks.

DefinedSynthetic is not created for a real ELF object, so it doesn't
have to be a template function. It has a virtual st_value, which is
either 32 bit or 64 bit, but we can simply use 64 bit.

We first decide that the symbol is global, than that it should have
version foo. Since it was already not the default version, we were
producing a bogus warning.

This change introduces new synthetic sections IpltSection, IgotPltSection
that represent the ifunc entries that would previously have been put in
the PltSection and the GotPltSection. The separation makes sure that
the R_*_IRELATIVE relocations are placed after the non R_*_IRELATIVE
relocations, which permits ifunc resolvers to know that the .got.plt
slots will be initialized prior to the resolver being called.
A secondary benefit is that for ARM we can move the IgotPltSection and its
dynamic relocations to the .got and .rel.dyn as the ARM glibc expects all
the R_*_IRELATIVE relocations to be in the .rel.dyn

These MIPS specific symbols should be global because in general they can
have an arbitrary value. By default this value is a fixed offset from .got
section.
This patch adds more checks to the mips-gp-local.s test case but marks
it as XFAIL because LLD does not allow redefinition of absolute symbols
value by a linker script. This should be fixed by D27276.

StringRefZ is a class to represent a null-terminated string. String
length is computed lazily, so it's more efficient than StringRef to
represent strings in string table.
The motivation of defining this new class is to merge functions
that only differ in string types; we have many constructors that takes
`const char *` or `StringRef`. With StringRefZ, we can merge them.

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.

There are two ways to set symbol versions. One way is to use symbol
definition file, and the other is to embed version names to symbol
names. In the latter way, symbol name is in the form of `foo@version1`
where `foo` is a real name and `version1` is a version.
We were parsing symbol names in insert(). That seems unnecessarily
too early. We can do it later after we resolve all symbols. Doing it
lazily is a good thing because it makes code easier to read
(because now we have a separate pass to parse symbol names). Also
it could slightly improve performance because if two identical symbols
have versions, we now parse them only once.
llvm-svn: 287741
Previously, we stored offsets in string tables to symbols, so
you needed to pass a string table to get a symbol name. This patch
stores const char pointers instead to eliminate the need to pass
a string table.

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.
