Currently the singleton `config` is assigned by `config = make<Configuration>()`
and (if `canExitEarly` is false) destroyed by `lld::freeArena`.
`make<Configuration>` allocates a stab with `malloc(4096)`. This both wastes
memory and bloats the executable (every type instantiates `BumpPtrAllocator`
which costs more than 1KiB code on x86-64).
(No need to worry about `clang::no_destroy`. Regular invocations (`canExitEarly`
is true) call `_Exit` via llvm::sys::Process::ExitNoCleanup.)

sizeof(ObjFile<ELF64LE>) is decreased from 344 to 272 on an ELF64 system.
In a large link with 30000 ObjFiles, this may be 2+MiB saving.
Change std::vector members to SmallVector, and std::string members to
SmallString<0> (these members typically don't benefit from small string optimization).
On Linux x86-64 the lld executable is ~6k smaller.
This allows --power10-stubs= and --[no-]power10-stubs to override each other
(they are position dependent in GNU ld).
Also improve --help messages and the manpage.
Note: GNU ld's default "auto" mode uses heuristics to decide whether Power10
instructions are used. Arguably it is a design mistake of R_PPC64_REL24_NOTOC
(acked by the relevant folks on a libc-alpha discussion). We don't implement
"auto", so the default --power10-stubs is the same as "yes".
This brings back the original version of D81359.
I have found several use cases now.
* Unlike GNU ld, LLD's relocation processing is one pass. If we decide to
optimize(relax) R_X86_64_{,REX_}GOTPCRELX, we will suppress GOT generation and
cannot undo the decision later. Optimizing R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX can usually
make it easy to hit `relocation R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX out of range` because
the distance to GOT is usually shorter. Without --no-relax, the user has to
recompile with `-Wa,-mrelax-relocations=no`.
* The option would help during my investigationg of the root cause of https://git.kernel.org/linus/09e43968db40c33a73e9ddbfd937f46d5c334924
* There is need for relaxation for AArch64 & RISC-V. Implementing this for

one-liner, e.g.
```

Archive member extraction happens before --gc-sections, so this may not be a live path

The address of a vague linkage function (STB_WEAK STT_FUNC, e.g. an inline

`-fvisibility-inlines-hidden` to break such pointer equality. On Windows,
correct dllexport and dllimport are needed to make pointer equality work.
Windows link.exe enables /OPT:ICF by default so different inline functions may

-Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions is a safer (C++ conforming) subset of
-Bsymbolic-functions, which can make such programs work.
Implementations usually emit a vague linkage definition in a COMDAT group. We

For one metadata section usage, each text section references a metadata section.
The metadata sections have a C identifier name to allow the runtime to collect them via `__start_/__stop_` symbols.
Since `__start_`/`__stop_` references are always present from live sections, the
C identifier name sections appear like GC roots, which means they cannot be
discarded by `ld --gc-sections`.
To make such sections GCable, either SHF_LINK_ORDER or a section group is needed.
SHF_LINK_ORDER is not suitable for the references can be inlined into other functions
(See D97430:
Function A (in the section .text.A) references its `__sancov_guard` section.
Function B inlines A (so now .text.B references `__sancov_guard` - this is invalid with the semantics of SHF_LINK_ORDER).
In the linking stage,
if `.text.A` gets discarded, and `__sancov_guard` is retained via the reference from `.text.B`,
the output will be invalid because `__sancov_guard` references the discarded `.text.A`.
LLD errors "sh_link points to discarded section".

A section group have size overhead, and is cumbersome when there is just one metadata section.

This patch implements the handling for the R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT relocation as well
as the GOT relocation for the associated R_PPC64_GOT_PCREL34 relocation.
On Power10 targets with PC-Relative addressing, the linker can relax
GOT-relative accesses to PC-Relative under some conditions. Since the sequence
consists of a prefixed load, followed by a non-prefixed access (load or store),
the linker needs to replace the first instruction (as the replacement
instruction will be prefixed). The compiler communicates to the linker that
this optimization is safe by placing the two aforementioned relocations on the
GOT load (of the address).
The linker then does two things:
- Convert the load from the got into a PC-Relative add to compute the address
relative to the PC
- Find the instruction referred to by the second relocation (R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT)
and replace the first with the PC-Relative version of it
It is important to synchronize the mapping from legacy memory instructions to
their PC-Relative form. Hence, this patch adds a file to be included by both
the compiler and the linker so they're always in agreement.

With that switch, lld emits assembly code into the output file (specified by -o) and if there are multiple input files, each of their assembly code will be emitted into a separate file named by suffixing the output file name with a unique number, respectively. The linking then stops after generating those assembly files.

D77522 changed --warn-backrefs to not warn for linking sandwich
problems (-ldef1 -lref -ldef2). This removed lots of false positives.
However, glibc still has some problems. libc.a defines some symbols

For a linking order `-lm -lpthread -lc`, I have seen:
```
// different resolutions: GNU ld/gold select libc.a(s_isnan.o) as the definition
backward reference detected: __isnanl in libc.a(printf_fp.o) refers to libm.a(m_isnanl.o)
// different resolutions: GNU ld/gold select libc.a(raise.o) as the definition
backward reference detected: raise in libc.a(abort.o) refers to libpthread.a(pt-raise.o)
```
To facilitate deployment of --warn-backrefs, add --warn-backrefs-exclude= so that
certain known issues (which may be impractical to fix) can be whitelisted.
Deliberate choices:
* Not a comma-separated list (`--warn-backrefs-exclude=liba.a,libb.a`).
-Wl, splits the argument at commas, so we cannot use commas.
--export-dynamic-symbol is similar.
* Not in the style of `--warn-backrefs='*' --warn-backrefs=-liba.a`.
We just need exclusion, not inclusion. For easier build system
integration, we should avoid order dependency. With the current

This patch adds lld support for basic block sections and performs relaxations
after the basic blocks have been reordered.
After the linker has reordered the basic block sections according to the
desired sequence, it runs a relaxation pass to optimize jump instructions.
Currently, the compiler emits the long form of all jump instructions. AMD64 ISA
supports variants of jump instructions with one byte offset or a four byte
offset. The compiler generates jump instructions with R_X86_64 32-bit PC
relative relocations. We would like to use a new relocation type for these jump
instructions as it makes it easy and accurate while relaxing these instructions.
The relaxation pass does two things:
First, it deletes all explicit fall-through direct jump instructions between
adjacent basic blocks. This is done by discarding the tail of the basic block
section.
Second, If there are consecutive jump instructions, it checks if the first
conditional jump can be inverted to convert the second into a fall through and
delete the second.
The jump instructions are relaxed by using jump instruction mods, something
like relocations. These are used to modify the opcode of the jump instruction.
Jump instruction mods contain three values, instruction offset, jump type and
size. While writing this jump instruction out to the final binary, the linker
uses the jump instruction mod to determine the opcode and the size of the
modified jump instruction. These mods are required because the input object
files are memory-mapped without write permissions and directly modifying the
object files requires copying these sections. Copying a large number of basic
block sections significantly bloats memory.

Before this patch, it wasn't possible to extend the ThinLTO threads to all SMT/CMT threads in the system. Only one thread per core was allowed, instructed by usage of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() in the ThinLTO code. Any number passed to the LLD flag /opt:lldltojobs=..., or any other ThinLTO-specific flag, was previously interpreted in the context of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency(), which means SMT disabled.
One can now say in LLD:
/opt:lldltojobs=0 -- Use one std::thread / hardware core in the system (no SMT). Default value if flag not specified.
/opt:lldltojobs=N -- Limit usage to N threads, regardless of usage of heavyweight_hardware_concurrency().
/opt:lldltojobs=all -- Use all hardware threads in the system. Equivalent to /opt:lldltojobs=$(nproc) on Linux and /opt:lldltojobs=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% on Windows. When an affinity mask is set for the process, threads will be created only for the cores selected by the mask.
When N > number-of-hardware-threads-in-the-system, the threads in the thread pool will be dispatched equally on all CPU sockets (tested only on Windows).
When N <= number-of-hardware-threads-on-a-CPU-socket, the threads will remain on the CPU socket where the process started (only on Windows).

Any OUTPUT_FORMAT in a linker script overrides the emulation passed on
the command line, so record the passed bfdname and use that in the error
message about incompatible input files.
This prevents confusing error messages. For example, if you explicitly
pass `-m elf_x86_64` to LLD but accidentally include a linker script
which sets `OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)`, LLD would previously complain
about your input files being compatible with elf_x86_64, which isn't the
actual issue, and is confusing because the input files are in fact
x86-64 ELF files.
Interestingly enough, this also prevents a segfault! When we don't pass
`-m` and we have an object file which is incompatible with the
`OUTPUT_FORMAT` set by a linker script, the object file is checked for
compatibility before it's added to the objectFiles vector.
config->emulation, objectFiles, and sharedFiles will all be empty, so
we'll attempt to access bitcodeFiles[0], but bitcodeFiles is also empty,
so we'll segfault. This commit prevents the segfault by adding
OUTPUT_FORMAT as a possible source of machine configuration, and it also
adds an llvm_unreachable to diagnose similar issues in the future.

Summary:
Places orphan sections into a unique output section. This prevents the merging of orphan sections of the same name.
Matches behaviour of GNU ld --unique. --unique=pattern is not implemented.
Motivated user case shown in the test has 2 local symbols as they would appear if C++ source has been compiled with -ffunction-sections. The merging of these sections in the case of a partial link (-r) may limit the effectiveness of -gc-sections of a subsequent link.

Summary:
This option causes lld to shuffle sections by assigning different
priorities in each run.
The use case for this is to introduce randomization in benchmarks. The
idea is inspired by the paper "Producing Wrong Data Without Doing
Anything Obviously Wrong!"
(https://www.inf.usi.ch/faculty/hauswirth/publications/asplos09.pdf). Unlike
the paper, we shuffle individual sections, not just input files.
Doing this in lld is particularly convenient as the --reproduce option
makes it easy to collect all the necessary bits for relinking the
program being benchmarked. Once that it is done, all that is needed is
to add --shuffle-sections=0 to the response file and relink before each
run of the benchmark.

This adds some of LLD specific scopes and picks up optimisation scopes
via LTO/ThinLTO. Makes use of TimeProfiler multi-thread support added in
77e6bb3c.

This restores 59733525d3 (D71913), along
with bot fix 19c76989bb.
The bot failure should be fixed by D73418, committed as
af954e441a.
I also added a fix for non-x86 bot failures by requiring x86 in new test
lld/test/ELF/lto/devirt_vcall_vis_public.ll.
Summary:
Third part in series to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization
Enablement, see RFC here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
This patch adds type test metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
even for classes without hidden visibility. It then changes WPD to skip
devirtualization for a virtual function call when any of the compatible
vtables has public vcall visibility.
Additionally, internal LLVM options as well as lld and gold-plugin
options are added which enable upgrading all public vcall visibility
to linkage unit (hidden) visibility during LTO. This enables the more
aggressive WPD to kick in based on LTO time knowledge of the visibility
guarantees.
Support was added to all flavors of LTO WPD (regular, hybrid and
index-only), and to both the new and old LTO APIs.
Unfortunately it was not simple to split the first and second parts of
this part of the change (the unconditional emission of type tests and
the upgrading of the vcall visiblity) as I needed a way to upgrade the
public visibility on legacy WPD llvm assembly tests that don't include
linkage unit vcall visibility specifiers, to avoid a lot of test churn.
I also added a mechanism to LowerTypeTests that allows dropping type
test assume sequences we now aggressively insert when we invoke
distributed ThinLTO backends with null indexes, which is used in testing
mode, and which doesn't invoke the normal ThinLTO backend pipeline.
Depends on D71907 and D71911.

I felt really sad to push this commit for my selfish purpose to make
glibc -static-pie build with lld. Some code constructs in glibc require
R_X86_64_GOTPCREL/R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX referencing undefined weak to
be resolved to a GOT entry not relocated by R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT (GNU ld
behavior), e.g.
csu/libc-start.c
if (__pthread_initialize_minimal != NULL)
__pthread_initialize_minimal ();
elf/dl-object.c
void
_dl_add_to_namespace_list (struct link_map *new, Lmid_t nsid)
{
/* We modify the list of loaded objects. */
__rtld_lock_lock_recursive (GL(dl_load_write_lock));
Emitting a GLOB_DAT will make the address equal &__ehdr_start (true
value) and cause elf/ldconfig to segfault. glibc really should move away
from weak references, which do not have defined semantics.
Temporarily special case --no-dynamic-linker.
