The guid of a local linkage variable has the module path encoded, so the
order between a local linkage variable and a non-local linkage variable
isn't guaranteed.
In PGO, a C++ external linkage function `foo` has a private counter
`__profc_foo` and a private `__profd_foo` in a `comdat nodeduplicate`.
A `__attribute__((weak))` function `foo` has a weak hidden counter `__profc_foo`
and a private `__profd_foo` in a `comdat nodeduplicate`.
In `ld.lld a.o b.o`, say a.o defines an external linkage `foo` and b.o
defines a weak `foo`. Currently we treat `comdat nodeduplicate` as `comdat any`,
ld.lld will incorrectly consider `b.o:__profc_foo` non-prevailing. In the worst
case when `b.o:__profd_foo` is retained and `b.o:__profc_foo` isn't, there will
be dangling reference causing an `undefined hidden symbol` error.

The GNU binutils tools change the REL section to RELA section, unlike llvm tools. For example when strip -S is run on the ELF object files, as an intermediate step before linking.

There used to be many cases where addends for Elf_Rel were not emitted in
the final object file (mostly when building for MIPS64 since the input .o

but this patch adds a check to ensure that the written values are correct.
It is based on a previous patch that I added to the CHERI fork of LLD since
we were using MIPS64 as a baseline. The work has now almost entirely
shifted to RISC-V and Arm Morello (which use Elf_Rela), but I thought
it would be useful to upstream our local changes anyway.
This patch adds a (hidden) command line flag --check-dynamic-relocations

There are a couple of problems with the code to patch
unrelocated BLX instructions:
1. The calculation of the PC needs to take into account
the alignment of the instruction. The Thumb BLX
uses alignDown(PC, 4) for the source address.
2. The calculation of the PC bias is hard-coded to 4
which works for Thumb, but when there is a BLX the

PC bias.
No asssembler generates an unrelocated BLX instruction

An `OVERWRITE_SECTIONS` command is a `SECTIONS` variant which contains several
output section descriptions. The output sections do not have specify an order.
Similar to `INSERT [BEFORE|AFTER]`, `LinkerScript::hasSectionsCommand` is not
set, so the built-in rules (see `docs/ELF/linker_script.rst`) still apply.
`OVERWRITE_SECTIONS` can be more convenient than `INSERT` because it does not
need an anchor section.
The initial syntax is intentionally narrow to facilitate backward compatible
extensions in the future. Symbol assignments cannot be used.
This feature is versatile. To list a few usage:
* Use `section : { KEEP(...) }` to retain input sections under GC
* Define encapsulation symbols (start/end) for an output section
* Use `section : ALIGN(...) : { ... }` to overalign an output section (similar to ld64 `-sectalign`)
When an output section is specified by both `OVERWRITE_SECTIONS` and
`INSERT`, `INSERT` is processed after overwrite sections. To make this work,
this patch changes `InsertCommand` to use name based matching instead of pointer
based matching. (This may cause a difference when `INSERT` moves one output
section more than once. Such duplicate commands should not be used in practice
(seems that in GNU ld the output sections may just disappear).)
A linker script can be used without -T/--script. The traditional `SECTIONS`
commands are concatenated, so a wrong rule can be more noticeable from the
section order. This feature if misused can be less noticeable, just like
`INSERT`.

In a -no-pie link we optimize R_PLT_PC to R_PC. Currently we resolve a branch
relocation to the link-time zero address. However such a choice tends to cause
relocation overflow possibility for RISC architectures.
* aarch64: GNU ld: rewrite the instruction to a NOP; ld.lld: branch to the next instruction
* mips: GNU ld: branch to the start of the text segment (?); ld.lld: branch to zero
* ppc32: GNU ld: rewrite the instruction to a NOP; ld.lld: branch to the current instruction
* ppc64: GNU ld: rewrite the instruction to a NOP; ld.lld: branch to the current instruction
* riscv: GNU ld: branch to the absolute zero address (with instruction rewriting)
* i386/x86_64: GNU ld/ld.lld: branch to the link-time zero address
I think that resolving to the same location is a good choice. The instruction,
if triggered, is clearly an undefined behavior. Resolving to the same location
can cause an infinite loop (making the user aware of the issue) while ensuring
no overflow.

We cannot devirtualize `Cat::makeNoise`. The issue is complex:
Due to `-fsplit-lto-unit` and usage of type metadata, we place the Cat
vtable declaration into module 0 and the Cat vtable definition with type
metadata into module 1, causing duplicate entries (Undefined followed by
Defined) in the `lto::InputFile::symbols()` output.
In `BitcodeFile::parse`, after processing the `Undefined` then the
`Defined`, the final state is `Defined`.
In `BitcodeCompiler::add`, for the first symbol, `computeBinding`
returns `STB_LOCAL`, then we reset it to `Undefined` because it is
prevailing (`versionId` is `preserved`). For the second symbol, because
the state is now `Undefined`, `computeBinding` returns `STB_GLOBAL`,
causing `ExportDynamic` to be true and suppressing devirtualization.
In D77280, the `computeBinding` change used a stricter `isDefined()`
condition to make weak``Lazy` symbol work.
This patch relaxes the condition to weaker `!isLazy()` to keep it
working while making the devirtualization work as well.

If the number of sections changes, which is common for re-links after
incremental updates, the section order may change drastically.
Special case -1 to reverse input sections. This is a stable transform.
The section order is more resilient to incremental updates. Usually the
code issue (e.g. Static Initialization Order Fiasco, assuming pointer
comparison result of two unrelated objects) is due to the relative order
between two problematic input files A and B. Checking the regular order
and the reversed order is sufficient.

`readPrimary` expressions. Using `.` can result in such an error:

Note: GNU ld allows `~` in non-leading positions of a symbol name. `~`
is not used in practice, conflicts with the unary operator, and can
cause some parsing difficulty, so this patch does not add it.

llvm-objdump only uses one MCInstrAnalysis object, so if ARM and Thumb
code is mixed in one object, or if an object is disassembled without
explicitly setting the triple to match the ISA used, then branch and
call targets will be printed incorrectly.
This could be fixed by creating two MCInstrAnalysis objects in
llvm-objdump, like we currently do for SubtargetInfo. However, I don't
think there's any reason we need two separate sub-classes of
MCInstrAnalysis, so instead these can be merged into one, and the ISA
determined by checking the opcode of the instruction.

In AArch32 ARM, the PC reads two instructions ahead of the currently
executiing instruction. This evaluates to 8 in ARM state and 4 in
Thumb state. Branch instructions on AArch32 compensate for this by
subtracting the PC bias from the addend. For a branch to symbol this
will result in an addend of -8 in ARM state and -4 in Thumb state.
The existing ARM Target::inBranchRange function accounted for this
implict addend within the function meaning that if the addend were
to be taken into account by the caller then it would be double
counted. This complicates the interface for all Targets as callers
wanting to account for addends had to account for the ARM PC-bias.
In certain situations such as:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1305
the PC-bias compensation code didn't match up. In particular
normalizeExistingThunk() didn't put the PC-bias back in as Arm
thunks did not store the addend.
The simplest fix for the problem is to add the PC bias in
normalizeExistingThunk when restoring the addend. However I think
it is worth refactoring the Arm inBranchRange implementation so
that fewer calls to getPCBias are needed for other Targets. I
wasn't able to remove getPCBias completely but hopefully the
Relocations.cpp code is simpler now.
In principle a test could be written to replicate the linux kernel
build failure but I wasn't able to reproduce with a small example
that I could build up from scratch.

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.
Add `-z start-stop-gc` to drop the "__start_/__stop_ references retain
non-SHF_LINK_ORDER non-SHF_GROUP C identifier name sections" rule.
We reserve the rights to switch the default in the future.

The special root semantics for identifier-named sections is meant
specifically for the metadata sections. In the context of group
semantics, where group members are always retained or discarded as a
unit, it's natural not to have this semantics apply to a section in a
group, otherwise we would never discard the group defeating the purpose
of using the group in the first place.
This change modifies the GC behavior so that __start_/__stop_ references
don't retain C identifier named sections in section groups which allows
for these groups to be collected. This matches the behavior of BFD ld.
The only kind of existing case that might break is interdependent
metadata sections that are all in a group together, but that group
doesn't contain any other sections referenced by anything except
implicit inclusion in a `__start_` and/or `__stop_`-referenced
identifier-named section, but such cases should be unlikely.

ST_Data is used to model BFD `BFD_OBJECT`.
A STT_TLS symbol does not have the `BFD_OBJECT` flag in BFD.
This makes sense because a STT_TLS symbol is like in a different address space,
normal data/object properties do not apply on them.
With this change, a STT_TLS symbol will not be displayed as 'O'.

Adds a lld test for a case that the handling added for dynamically
exported symbols in 1487747e99 already
fixes. Because isExportDynamic returns true when the symbol is
SharedKind with default visibility, it will treat as dynamically
exported and block devirtualization when the definition of a vtable
comes from a shared library. This is desireable as it is dangerous to
devirtualize in that case, since there could be hidden overrides in the
shared library. Typically that happens when the shared library header
contains available externally definitions, which applications can
override. An example is std::error_category, which is overridden in LLVM
and causing failures after a self build with WPD enabled, because
libstdc++ contains hidden overrides of the virtual base class methods.
The regular LTO case in the new test already worked, but there are
2 fixes in this patch needed for the index-only case and the hybrid
LTO case. For the index-only case, WPD should not simply ignore
available externally vtables. A follow on fix will be made to clang to
emit type metadata for those vtables, which the new test is modeling.
For the hybrid case, we need to ensure when the module is split that any
llvm.*used globals are cloned to the regular LTO split module so
available externally vtable definitions are not prematurely deleted.
Another follow on fix will add the equivalent gold test, which requires
a small fix to the plugin to treat symbols in dynamic libraries the same
way lld already is.

This change introduces support for zero flag ELF section groups to lld.
lld already supports COMDAT sections, which in ELF are a special type of
ELF section groups. These are generally useful to enable linker GC where
you want a group of sections to always travel together, that is to be
either retained or discarded as a whole, but without the COMDAT
semantics. Other ELF linkers already support zero flag ELF section
groups and this change helps us reach feature parity.

As we don't sort local symbols, don't sort non-local symbols. This makes
non-local symbols appear in their register order, which matches GNU as. The
register order is nice in that you can write tests with interleaved CHECK
prefixes, e.g.
```
// CHECK: something about foo
.globl foo
foo:
// CHECK: something about bar
.globl bar
bar:
```
With the lexicographical order, the user needs to place lexicographical smallest
symbol first or keep CHECK prefixes in one place.
When parsing an object file, LLD interleaves undefined symbol resolution (which
may recursively fetch other lazy objects) with defined symbol resolution.
This may lead to surprising results, e.g. if an object file defines currently
undefined symbols and references another lazy symbol, we may interleave defined
symbols with the lazy fetch, potentially leading to the defined symbols
resolving to different files.
As an example, if both `a.a(a.o)` and `a.a(b.o)` define `foo` (not in COMDAT
group, or in different COMDAT groups) and `__profd_foo` (in COMDAT group
`__profd_foo`). LLD may resolve `foo` to `a.a(a.o)` and `__profd_foo` to
`b.a(b.o)`, i.e. different files.
```
parse ArchiveFile a.a
entry fetches a.a(a.o)
parse ObjectFile a.o
define entry
define foo
reference b
b fetches a.a(b.o)
parse ObjectFile b.o
define prevailing __profd_foo
define (ignored) non-prevailing __profd_foo
```
Assuming a set of interconnected symbols are defined all or none in several lazy
objects. Arguably making them resolve to the same file is preferable than making
them resolve to different files (some are lazy objects).
The main argument favoring the new behavior is the stability. The relative order
between a defined symbol and an undefined symbol does not change the symbol
resolution behavior. Only the relative order between two undefined symbols can
affect fetching behaviors.
---
The real world case is reduced from a Fuchsia PGO usage: `a.a(a.o)` has a
constructor within COMDAT group C5 while `a.a(b.o)` has a constructor within
COMDAT group C2. Because they use different group signatures, they are not
de-duplicated. It is not entirely whether Clang behavior is entirely conforming.
LLD selects the PGO counter section (`__profd_*`) from `a.a(b.o)` and the
constructor section from `a.a(a.o)`. The `__profd_*` is a SHF_LINK_ORDER section
linking to its own non-prevailing constructor section, so LLD errors
`sh_link points to discarded section`. This patch fixes the error.

GNU as does not sort local symbols. This has several advantages:
* The .symtab order is roughly the symbol occurrence order.
* The closest preceding STT_SECTION symbol is the definition of a local symbol.
* The closest preceding STT_FILE symbol is the defining file of a local symbol, if there are multiple default-version .file directives. (Not implemented in MC.)
A SHF_LINK_ORDER .gcc_except_table is similar to a .gcc_except_table in
a section group. The associated text section is responsible for retaining it.
LLD still does not support GC of non-group non-SHF_LINK_ORDER .gcc_except_table -
but that is not necessary because we can teach the compiler to set SHF_LINK_ORDER.

binutils 2.36 introduced the new section flag SHF_GNU_RETAIN (for ELFOSABI_GNU &
ELFOSABI_FREEBSD) to mark a sections as a GC root. Several LLVM side toolchain
folks (including me) were involved in the design process of SHF_GNU_RETAIN and
were happy with this proposal.
Currently GNU ld only respects SHF_GNU_RETAIN semantics for ELFOSABI_GNU &
ELFOSABI_FREEBSD object files
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27282). GNU ld sets EI_OSABI
to ELFOSABI_GNU for relocatable output
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27091). In practice the single
value EI_OSABI is neither a good indicator for object file compatibility, nor a
useful mechanism marking used ELF extensions.
For input, we respect SHF_GNU_RETAIN semantics even for ELFOSABI_NONE object
files. This is compatible with how LLD and GNU ld handle (mildly useful) STT_GNU_IFUNC
/ (emitted by GCC, considered misfeature by some folks) STB_GNU_UNIQUE input.
(As of LLVM 12.0.0, the integrated assembler does not set ELFOSABI_GNU for
STT_GNU_IFUNC/STB_GNU_UNIQUE).
Arguably STT_GNU_IFUNC/STB_GNU_UNIQUE probably need indicators in object files
but SHF_GNU_RETAIN is more likely accepted by more OSABI platforms.
For output, we take a step further than GNU ld: we don't promote ELFOSABI_NONE
to ELFOSABI_GNU for all output.
