Currently, LLD may report "unsupported relocation target while parsing debug info"
when parsing the debug information.
At the same time LLD does that for zeroed R_X86_64_NONE relocations,
which obviously has "invalid" targets.
The nature of R_*_NONE relocation assumes them should be ignored.
This patch teaches LLD to stop reporting the debug information parsing errors for them.

Previously, if you invoke lld's `main` more than once in the same process,
the second invocation could fail or produce a wrong result due to a stale
pointer values of the previous run.

Older Arm architectures do not support the MOVT and MOVW instructions so we
must use an alternative sequence of instructions to transfer control to the
destination.
Assuming at least Armv5 this patch adds support for Thunks that load or add
to the program counter. Note that there are no Armv5 Thumb Thunks as there
is no Thumb branch instruction in Armv5 that supports Thunks. These thunks
will not work for Armv4t (arm7tdmi) as this architecture cannot change state
from using the LDR or ADD instruction.

The Thumb BL and BLX instructions on older Arm Architectures such as v5 and
v6 have a constrained encoding J1 and J2 must equal 1, later Architectures
relaxed this restriction allowing J1 and J2 to be used to calculate a larger
immediate.
This patch adds support for the old encoding, it is used when the build
attributes for the input objects only contain older architectures.

The Tag_ABI_VFP_args build attribute controls the procedure call standard
used for floating point parameters on ARM. The values are:
0 - Base AAPCS (FP Parameters passed in Core (Integer) registers
1 - VFP AAPCS (FP Parameters passed in FP registers)
2 - Toolchain specific (Neither Base or VFP)
3 - Compatible with all (No use of floating point parameters)
If the Tag_ABI_VFP_args build attribute is missing it has an implicit value
of 0.
We use the attribute in two ways:
- Detect a clash in calling convention between Base, VFP and Toolchain.
we follow ld.bfd's lead and do not error if there is a clash between an
implicit Base AAPCS caused by a missing attribute. Many projects
including the hard-float (VFP AAPCS) version of glibc contain assembler
files that do not use floating point but do not have Tag_ABI_VFP_args.
- Set the EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT or EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_HARD ELF header flag
for Base or VFP AAPCS respectively. This flag is used by some ELF
loaders.

Tag_ABI_VFP_args

As was mentioned in comments for D45158,
isPicRel's name does not make much sense,
because what this method does is checks if
we need to create the dynamic relocation or not.
Instead of renaming it to something different,
we can 'isPicRel' completely.
We can reuse the getDynRel method.
They are logically very close, getDynRel can just return
R_*_NONE in case no dynamic relocation should be produced
and that would simplify things and avoid functionality
correlation/duplication with 'isPicRel'.
The patch does this change.

This is the same as 327248 except Arm defining _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ to
be the base of the .got section as some existing code is relying upon it.
For most Targets the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ symbol is expected to be at
the start of the .got.plt section so that _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[0] =
reserved value that is by convention the address of the dynamic section.
Previously we had defined _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ as either the start or end
of the .got section with the intention that the .got.plt section would
follow the .got. However this does not always hold with the current
default section ordering so _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[0] may not be consistent
with the reserved first entry of the .got.plt.
X86, X86_64 and AArch64 will use the .got.plt. Arm, Mips and Power use .got

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
entries with --long-plt as we gracefully fall back to it as needed.
See ELF for the ARM Architecture Appendix A for details of the PLT sequence.

When an undefined weak reference has a PLT entry we must generate a range
extension thunk for any B or BL that can't reach the PLT entry.
This change explicitly looks for whether a PLT entry exists rather than
assuming that weak references never need PLT entries unless Config->Shared
is in operation. This covers the case where we are linking an executable
with dynamic linking, hence a PLT entry will be needed for undefined weak
references. This case comes up in real programs over 32 Mb in size as there
is a B to a weak reference __gmon__start__ in the Arm crti.o for glibc.

Now that we have only SymbolBody as the symbol class. So, "SymbolBody"
is a bit strange name now. This is a mechanical change generated by
perl -i -pe s/SymbolBody/Symbol/g $(git grep -l SymbolBody lld/ELF lld/COFF)

This change adds initial support for range extension thunks. All thunks must
be created within the first pass so some corner cases are not supported. A
follow up patch will add support for multiple passes.
With this change the existing tests arm-branch-error.s and
arm-thumb-branch-error.s now no longer fail with an out of range branch.
These have been renamed and tests added for the range extension thunk.

When an OutputSection is larger than the branch range for a Target we
need to place thunks such that they are always in range of their caller,
and sufficiently spaced to maximise the number of callers that can use
the thunk. We use the simple heuristic of placing the
ThunkSection at intervals corresponding to a target specific branch range.
If the OutputSection is small we put the thunks at the end of the executable
sections.

Summary:
The COFF linker and the ELF linker have long had similar but separate
Error.h and Error.cpp files to implement error handling. This change
introduces new error handling code in Common/ErrorHandler.h, changes the
COFF and ELF linkers to use it, and removes the old, separate
implementations.

A section was passed to getRelExpr just to create an error message.
But if there's an invalid relocation, we would eventually report it
in relocateOne. So we don't have to pass a section to getRelExpr.

We were using uint32_t as the type of relocation kind. It has a
readability issue because what Type really means in `uint32_t Type`
is not obvious. It could be a section type, a symbol type or a
relocation type.
Since we do not do any arithemetic operations on relocation types
(e.g. adding one to R_X86_64_PC32 doesn't make sense), it would be
more natural if they are represented as enums. Unfortunately, that
is not doable because relocation type definitions are spread into
multiple header files.
So I decided to use typedef. This still should be better than the
plain uint32_t because the intended type is now obvious.
llvm-svn: 315525
In preparation for range extension thunks introduce a function that will
check whether a branch identified by a relocation type at a source address
can reach a destination.
For targets where range extension thunks are not supported the function will
return true as it is not expected that branches are out of range. An
implementation has been provided for ARM.

Target.cpp contains code for all the targets that LLD supports. It was
simple and easy, but as the number of supported targets increased,
it got messy.
This patch splits the file into per-target files under ELF/arch directory.
