In ld.lld, when an ObjFile/BitcodeFile is read in --start-lib state, the file is
given archive semantics. --end-lib closes the previous --start-lib. A build
system can use this feature as an alternative to archives. This patch ports
the feature to lld-macho.
--start-lib and --end-lib are positional, unlike usual ld64 options.
I think the slight drawback does not matter as (a) reusing option names
make build systems convenient (b) `--start-lib a.o b.o --end-lib` conveys more
information than an alternative design: `-objlib a.o -objlib b.o` because
--start-lib makes it clear which objects are in the same conceptual archive.
This provides flexibility (c) `-objlib`/`-filelist` interaction may be weird.

Previously, our unwind info finalization logic assumed that the LSDA
section referenced by `__compact_unwind` was already finalized before
`__TEXT,__unwind_info` itself. However, that assumption could be broken
by the use of `-rename_section` -- it could be (and is) used to move
`__gcc_except_tab` it into a different segment later in the file.
(__TEXT is always the first non-zerofill segment, so any rename
basically guarantees that the section will be ordered after
`__unwind_info`.)
To handle this case, we compare LSDA relocations instead of their final
values in `UnwindInfoSection::finalize()`, and we actually relocate
those LSDAs in `UnwindInfoSection::writeTo()`. In order to do this, we
need an easy way to track which Symbol a given CUE corresponds to. My
solution was to change our `cuPtrVector` into a vector of indices, with
each index used for both the symbols vector (`symbolsVec`) as well as
the CUE vector (`cuVector`).

This seems like a heavy hammer, especially since some things don't need

does something similar here to short circuit these duplicate reads:

Of the types of files being read for our iOS app, the biggest problem

We could likely hoist this logic up to not cache at this level, but it

WordLiteralSection dedupes literals by content.
WordLiteralInputSection::getOffset() used to read a literal at the passed-in
offset and look up this value in the deduping map to find the offset of the
deduped value.
But it's possible that (e.g.) a 16-byte literal's value is accessed 4 bytes in.
To get the offset at that address, we have to get the deduped value at offset 0
and then apply the offset 4 to the result.
(See also WordLiteralSection::finalizeContents() which fills in those maps.)
Only a problem on arm64 because in x86_64 the offset is part of the instruction
instead of a separate ARM64_RELOC_ADDEND relocation. (See bug for more details.)

Broken by a9353dbe51.
Now that the functions point to the compact unwind entries, instead of
the other way around, we need to perform the "invalid reference" check
in a different place.
This change was originally part of the stacked diff D109946, but should
have been included as part of D109945.
**Context:**
This is a second attempt at introducing signature regeneration to llvm-objcopy. In this diff: https://reviews.llvm.org/D109840, a script was introduced to test
the validity of a code signature. In this diff: https://reviews.llvm.org/D109803 (now reverted), an effort was made to extract the signature generation behavior out of LLD into a common location for use in llvm-objcopy. In this diff: https://reviews.llvm.org/D109972 it was decided that there was no appropriate common location and that a small amount of duplication to bring signature generation to llvm-objcopy would be better. This diff introduces this duplication.
**Summary**
Prior to this change, if a LC_CODE_SIGNATURE load command
was included in the binary passed to llvm-objcopy, the command and
associated section were simply copied and included verbatim in the
new binary. If rest of the binary was modified at all, this results
in an invalid Mach-O file. This change regenerates the signature
rather than copying it.
The code_signature_lc.test test was modified to include the yaml
representation of a small signed MachO executable in order to
effectively test the signature generation.

Compact unwind entries (CUEs) contain pointers to their respective
function symbols. However, during the link process, it's far more useful
to have pointers from the function symbol to the CUE than vice versa.
This diff adds that pointer in the form of `Defined::compactUnwind`.
In particular, when doing dead-stripping, we want to mark CUEs live when
their function symbol is live; and when doing ICF, we want to dedup
sections iff the symbols in that section have identical CUEs. In both
cases, we want to be able to locate the symbols within a given section,
as well as locate the CUEs belonging to those symbols. So this diff also
adds `InputSection::symbols`.
The ultimate goal of this refactor is to have ICF support dedup'ing
functions with unwind info, but that will be handled in subsequent
diffs. This diff focuses on simplifying `-dead_strip` --
`findFunctionsWithUnwindInfo` is no longer necessary, and
`Defined::isLive()` is now a lot simpler. Moreover, UnwindInfoSection no
longer has to check for dead CUEs -- we simply avoid adding them in the
first place.
Additionally, we now support stripping of dead LSDAs, which follows
quite naturally since `markLive()` can now reach them via the CUEs.

prepareSymbolRelocation() in Writer.cpp adds both symbols that need binding and
symbols relocated with a pointer relocation to the got.
Pointer relocations are emitted for non-movq GOTPCREL(%rip) loads. (movqs
become GOT_LOADs so that the linker knows they can be relaxed to leaqs, while
others, such as addq, become just GOT -- a pointer relocation -- since they
can't be relaxed in that way).
For example, this C file produces a private_extern GOT relocation when
compiled with -O2 with clang:
extern const char kString[];
const char* g(int a) { return kString + a; }
Linkers need to put pointer-relocated symbols into the GOT, but ld64 marks them
as LOCAL in the indirect symbol table. This matters, since `strip -x` looks at
the indirect symbol table when deciding what to strip.
The indirect symtab emitting code was assuming that only symbols that need
binding are in the GOT, but pointer relocations where there too. Hence, the
code needs to explicitly check if a symbol is a private extern.

Fixes PR51578 in practice.
Currently there's only enough room for a single thunk, which for real-life code
isn't enough. The error case only happens when there are many branch statements
very close to each other (0 or 1 instructions apart), with the function at the
finalization barrier small.
There's a FIXME on what to do if we hit this case, but that suggestion sounds
complicated to me (see end of PR51578 comment 5 for why).
Instead, just leave more room for thunks. Chromium's unit_tests links fine with
room for 3 thunks. Leave room for 100, which should fix this for most cases in
practice.
There's little cost for leaving lots of room: This slop value only determines
when we finalize sections, and we insert thunks for forward jumps into
unfinalized sections. So leaving room means we'll need a few more thunks, but
the thunk jump range is 128 MiB while a single thunk is just 12 bytes.
For Chromium's unit_tests:
With a slop of 3: thunk calls = 355418, thunks = 10903
With a slop of 100: thunk calls = 355426, thunks = 10904
Chances are 100 is enough for all use cases we'll hit in practice, but even
bumping it to 1000 would probably be fine.

way fewer stub calls than non-stub calls, so if we're doing a
conservative approximation here we might as well do it correctly.

ICF previously operated only within a given OutputSection. We would

regular `__text` sections. However, I would like to expand ICF to merge
functions that reference unwind info. Unwind info references the LSDA
section, which can in turn reference the `__text` section, so we cannot
perform ICF in phases.
In order to have ICF operate on InputSections spanning multiple
OutputSections, we need a way to distinguish InputSections that are
destined for different OutputSections, so that we don't fold across
section boundaries. We achieve this by creating OutputSections early,
and setting `InputSection::parent` to point to them. This is what

This diff also folds InputSections w/o checking their flags, which I
think is the right behavior -- if they are destined for the same
OutputSection, they will have the same flags in the output (even if
their input flags differ). I.e. the `parent` pointer check subsumes the
`flags` check. In practice this has nearly no effect (ICF did not become

__unwind_info section at all, like ld64.
This is a bit awkward to implement because we only know the final
state of unwind info after UnwindInfoSectionImpl<Ptr>::finalize(),
which is called after sections are added. So add a small amount of
bookkeeping to relocateCompactUnwind() instead (which runs earlier)
so that we can predict what finalize() will do before it runs.
Fixes PR51010.

This implements the part of -export_dynamic that adds external
symbols as dead strip roots even for executables.
It does not yet implement the effect -export_dynamic has for LTO.
I tried just replacing `config->outputType != MH_EXECUTE` with
`(config->outputType != MH_EXECUTE || config->exportDynamic)` in
LTO.cpp, but then local symbols make it into the symbol table too,
which is too much (and also doesn't match ld64). So punt on this
for now until I understand it better.

This is the other flag clang passes when calling clang with two -arch
flags (which means with this, `clang -arch x86_64 -arch arm64 -fuse-ld=lld ...`
now no longer prints any warnings \o/). Since clang calls the linker several
times in that setup, it's not clear to the user from which invocation the
errors are. The flag's help text is
Specifies that the linker should augment error and warning messages
with the architecture name.
In ld64, the only effect of the flag is that undefined symbols are prefaced
with
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
instead of the usual "Undefined symbols:". So for now, let's add this
only to undefined symbol errors too. That's probably the most common
linker diagnostic.
Another idea would be to prefix errors and warnings with "ld64.lld(x86_64):"
instead of the usual "ld64.lld:", but I'm not sure if people would
misunderstand that as a comment about the arch of ld itself.
But open to suggestions on what effect this flag should have :) And we

Size-wise, BIND_OPCODE_SET_SYMBOL_TRAILING_FLAGS_IMM is the most
expensive opcode, since it comes with an associated symbol string. We
were previously emitting it once per binding, instead of once per
symbol. This diff groups all bindings for a given symbol together and
ensures we only emit one such opcode per symbol. This matches ld64's
behavior.
While this is a relatively small win on chromium_framework (-72KiB), for
programs that have more dynamic bindings, the difference can be quite
large.

Two bugs:
1. This tries to take the address of the last symbol plus the length
of the last symbol. However, the sorted vector is cuPtrVector,
not cuVector. Also, cuPtrVector has tombstone values removed
and cuVector doesn't. If there was a stripped value at the end,
the "last" element's value was UINT64_MAX, which meant the
sentinel value was one less than the length of that "last"
dead symbol.
2. We have to subtract in.header->addr. For 64-bit binaries that's
(1 << 32) and functionAddress is 32-bit so this is a no-op, but
for 32-bit binaries the sentinel's value was too large.
I believe this has no effect in practice since the first-level
binary search code in libunwind (in UnwindCursor.hpp) does:
uint32_t low = 0;
uint32_t high = sectionHeader.indexCount();
uint32_t last = high - 1;
while (low < high) {
uint32_t mid = (low + high) / 2;
if ((mid == last) ||
(topIndex.functionOffset(mid + 1) > targetFunctionOffset)) {
low = mid;
break;
} else {
low = mid + 1;
}
So the address of the last entry in the first-level table isn't really
checked -- except for the very end, but the check against `last` means
we just run the loop once more than necessary. But it makes `unwinddump` output
look less confusing, and it's what it looks was the intention here.
(No test since I can't think of a way to make FileCheck check that one
number is larger than another.)

`__cfstring` is a special literal section, so instead of breaking it up
at symbol boundaries, we break it up at fixed-width boundaries (since
each literal is the same size). Symbols can only occur at one of those

`.subsections_via_symbols`.

This is a pretty big refactoring diff, so here are the motivations:
Previously, ICF ran after scanRelocations(), where we emitting
bind/rebase opcodes etc. So we had a bunch of redundant leftovers after
ICF. Having ICF run before Writer seems like a better design, and is
what LLD-ELF does, so this diff refactors it accordingly.
However, ICF had two dependencies on things occurring in Writer: 1) it
needs literals to be deduplicated beforehand and 2) it needs to know
which functions have unwind info, which was being handled by
`UnwindInfoSection::prepareRelocations()`.
In order to do literal deduplication earlier, we need to add literal
input sections to their corresponding output sections. So instead of
putting all input sections into the big `inputSections` vector, and then
filtering them by type later on, I've changed things so that literal
sections get added directly to their output sections during the 'gather'
phase. Likewise for compact unwind sections -- they get added directly
to the UnwindInfoSection now. This latter change is not strictly
necessary, but makes it easier for ICF to determine which functions have
unwind info.
Adding literal sections directly to their output sections means that we
can no longer determine `inputOrder` from iterating over
`inputSections`. Instead, we store that order explicitly on
InputSection. Bloating the size of InputSection for this purpose would
be unfortunate -- but LLD-ELF has already solved this problem: it reuses
`outSecOff` to store this order value.
One downside of this refactor is that we now make an additional pass
over the unwind info relocations to figure out which functions have
unwind info, since want to know that before `processRelocations()`. I've
made sure to run that extra loop only if ICF is enabled, so there should
be no overhead in non-optimizing runs of the linker.
The upside of all this is that the `inputSections` vector now contains
only ConcatInputSections that are destined for ConcatOutputSections, so
we can clean up a bunch of code that just existed to filter out other
elements from that vector.
I will test for the lack of redundant binds/rebases in the upcoming
cfstring deduplication diff. While binds/rebases can also happen in the
regular `.text` section, they're more common in `.data` sections, so it
seems more natural to test it that way.

In practice, symbols in the symbol files of input .o files are

The two different thread_local_regular sections (__thread_data and

1. https://reviews.llvm.org/D102972 changed concatOutputSections

output segments, we would add the two sections to the __DATA
output segment in nondeterministic order.
2. The same change also moved the two stable_sort()s for segments
and sections to sort(). Since sections with assigned priority
(such as TLV data) have the same priority for all sections,
this is incorrect -- we must use stable_sort() so that the
initial (input-order-based) order remains.
As a side effect, we now (deterministically) put the __common
section in front of __bss (while previously we happened to
put it after it). (__common and __bss are both zerofill so
both have order INT_MAX, but common symbols are added to
inputSections before normal sections are collected.)

For all the cases we care about, `outSecFileOff` is the same as

sections within a given segment. But since zerofill sections are always
at the end of a segment, the only sections where the two values deviate
are zerofill sections themselves. And we never actually query the
outSecFileOff of zerofill sections.
As for `getFileOffset()`, the only place it was being used was to
calculate the offset of the entry symbol. However, we can compute that
value by just taking the difference between the address of the entry
symbol and the address of the Mach-O header. In fact, this appears to be
what ld64 itself does. This difference is the same as the file offset as
long as there are no intervening zerofill sections, but since `__text`

Conceptually, the implementation is pretty straightforward: we put each
literal value into a hashtable, and then write out the keys of that
hashtable at the end.
In contrast with ELF, the Mach-O format does not support variable-length
literals that aren't strings. Its literals are either 4, 8, or 16 bytes
in length. LLD-ELF dedups its literals via sorting + uniq'ing, but since
we don't need to worry about overly-long values, we should be able to do
a faster job by just hashing.
That said, the implementation right now is far from optimal, because we
add to those hashtables serially. To parallelize this, we'll need a
basic concurrent hashtable (only needs to support concurrent writes w/o
interleave reads), which shouldn't be to hard to implement, but I'd like

It's useful for users, but also for writing tests. The output is formatted
slightly differently than ld64, but we still support RC_TRACE_DYLIB_SEARCHING
to offer at least a compatible way to trigger this.
ld64 has both `-print_statistics` and `-trace_symbol_output` to enable
diagnostics output. I went with "print" since that seems like a more
straightforward name.

This is important for Frameworks, which are usually symlinks.
ld64 gets this right for @rpath that's replaced with @loader_path, but not for
bare @loader_path -- ld64's code calls realpath() in that case too, but ignores
the result.
ld64 somehow manages to find libbar1.dylib in the test without the
explicit `-rpath` in Foo1. I don't understand why or how. But this
change is a step forward and fixes an immediate problem I'm having,
so let's start with this :)

It causes libraries whose names start with "swift" to be force-loaded.
Note that unlike the more general `-force_load`, this flag only applies
to libraries specified via LC_LINKER_OPTIONS, and not those passed on
the command-line. This is what ld64 does.

Our implementation draws heavily from LLD-ELF's, which in turn delegates
its string deduplication to llvm-mc's StringTableBuilder. The messiness of
this diff is largely due to the fact that we've previously assumed that
all InputSections get concatenated together to form the output. This is
no longer true with CStringInputSections, which split their contents into
StringPieces. StringPieces are much more lightweight than InputSections,
which is important as we create a lot of them. They may also overlap in
the output, which makes it possible for strings to be tail-merged. In
fact, the initial version of this diff implemented tail merging, but
I've dropped it for reasons I'll explain later.
**Alignment Issues**
Mergeable cstring literals are found under the `__TEXT,__cstring`
section. In contrast to ELF, which puts strings that need different
alignments into different sections, clang's Mach-O backend puts them all
in one section. Strings that need to be aligned have the `.p2align`
directive emitted before them, which simply translates into zero padding
in the object file.
I *think* ld64 extracts the desired per-string alignment from this data
by preserving each string's offset from the last section-aligned
address. I'm not entirely certain since it doesn't seem consistent about
doing this; but perhaps this can be chalked up to cases where ld64 has
to deduplicate strings with different offset/alignment combos -- it
seems to pick one of their alignments to preserve. This doesn't seem
correct in general; we can in fact can induce ld64 to produce a crashing
binary just by linking in an additional object file that only contains
cstrings and no code. See PR50563 for details.
Moreover, this scheme seems rather inefficient: since unaligned and
aligned strings are all put in the same section, which has a single
alignment value, it doesn't seem possible to tell whether a given string
doesn't have any alignment requirements. Preserving offset+alignments
for strings that don't need it is wasteful.
In practice, the crashes seen so far seem to stem from x86_64 SIMD
operations on cstrings. X86_64 requires SIMD accesses to be
16-byte-aligned. So for now, I'm thinking of just aligning all strings
to 16 bytes on x86_64. This is indeed wasteful, but implementation-wise
it's simpler than preserving per-string alignment+offsets. It also
avoids the aforementioned crash after deduplication of
differently-aligned strings. Finally, the overhead is not huge: using
16-byte alignment (vs no alignment) is only a 0.5% size overhead when
linking chromium_framework.
With these alignment requirements, it doesn't make sense to attempt tail
merging -- most strings will not be eligible since their overlaps aren't
likely to start at a 16-byte boundary. Tail-merging (with alignment) for
chromium_framework only improves size by 0.3%.
It's worth noting that LLD-ELF only does tail merging at `-O2`. By
default (at `-O1`), it just deduplicates w/o tail merging. @thakis has
also mentioned that they saw it regress compressed size in some cases
and therefore turned it off. `ld64` does not seem to do tail merging at
all.
**Performance Numbers**
CString deduplication reduces chromium_framework from 250MB to 242MB, or
about a 3.2% reduction.

As expected, cstring merging incurs some non-trivial overhead.
When passing `--no-literal-merge`, it seems that performance is the
same, i.e. the refactoring in this diff didn't cost us.

When a library "host"'s reexports change their installName with
`$ld$os10.11$install_name$host`, we used to write a load command for "host" but
write the version numbers of the reexport instead of "host". This fixes that.
I first thought that the rule is to take the version numbers from the library
that originally had that install name (implemented in D103819), but that's not
what ld64 seems to be doing: It takes the version number from the first dylib
with that install name it loads, and it loads the reexporting library before
the reexports. We already did most of that, we just added reexports before the
reexporter. After this change, we add the reexporter before the reexports.
Addresses https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49800#c11 part 1.
(ld64 seems to add reexports after processing _all_ files on the command line,
while we add them right after the reexporter. For the common case of reexport +
$ld$ symbol changing back to the exporter name, this doesn't make a difference,
but you can construct a case where it does. I expect this to not make a
difference in practice though.)

D103423 neglected to call `parseReexports()` for nested TBD
documents, leading to symbol resolution failures when trying to look up
a symbol nested more than one level deep in a TBD file. This fixes the
regression and adds a test.
It also appears that `umbrella` wasn't being set properly when calling
`parseLoadCommands` -- it's supposed to resolve to `this` if `nullptr`
is passed. I didn't write a failing test case for this but I've made
`umbrella` a member so the previous behavior should be preserved.

This interacts with many parts of the linker. I tried to add test coverage
for all added `isLive()` checks, so that some test will fail if any of them
is removed. I checked that the test expectations for the most part match
ld64's behavior (except for live-support-iterations.s, see the comment
in the test). Interacts with:
- debug info
- export tries
- import opcodes
- flags like -exported_symbol(s_list)
- -U / dynamic_lookup
- mod_init_funcs, mod_term_funcs
- weak symbol handling
- unwind info
- stubs
- map files
- -sectcreate
- undefined, dylib, common, defined (both absolute and normal) symbols
It's possible it interacts with more features I didn't think of,
of course.
I also did some manual testing:
- check-llvm check-clang check-lld work with lld with this patch
as host linker and -dead_strip enabled
- Chromium still starts
- Chromium's base_unittests still pass, including unwind tests
Implemenation-wise, this is InputSection-based, so it'll work for
object files with .subsections_via_symbols (which includes all
object files generated by clang). I first based this on the COFF
implementation, but later realized that things are more similar to ELF.
I think it'd be good to refactor MarkLive.cpp to look more like the ELF
part at some point, but I'd like to get a working state checked in first.
Mechanical parts:
- Rename canOmitFromOutput to wasCoalesced (no behavior change)
since it really is for weak coalesced symbols
- Add noDeadStrip to Defined, corresponding to N_NO_DEAD_STRIP
(`.no_dead_strip` in asm)
