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`.

GNU ld supports `.` and `$` in symbol names while LLD doesn't support them in
`readPrimary` expressions. Using `.` can result in such an error:
```

ld.lld: error: ./arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds:255: malformed number: .TOC.

Allow `.` (ppc64 special symbol `.TOC.`) and `$` (RISC-V special symbol `__global_pointer$`).
Change `diag[3-5].test` to use an invalid character `^`.
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.

This patch adds support for the LOG2CEIL builtin function in linker scripts: https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Builtin-Functions.html#index-LOG2CEIL_0028exp_0029
As documented for LD, and to keep compatibility, LOG2CEIL(0) returns 0 (not -inf).
The test vectors are somewhat arbitrary. We check minimum values (0-4); middle values (2^32, and 2^32+1); and the maximum value (2^64-1).
The checks for LOG2CEIL explicitly use full 64-bit values (16 hex digits). This is needed to properly verify that -inf and other interesting results aren't returned. (For some reason, all other tests in operators.test use only 14 digits.)

A hasWildcard pattern iterates over symVector, which can be slow when there
are many --export-dynamic-symbol. In optimistic cases, most patterns don't use
a wildcard character. hasWildcard: false can avoid a symbol table iteration.
While here, add two tests using `[` and `?`, respectively.
GNU ld from binutils 2.35 onwards will likely support
--export-dynamic-symbol but with different semantics.
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2020-May/111302.html
Differences:
1. -export-dynamic-symbol is not supported
2. --export-dynamic-symbol takes a glob argument
3. --export-dynamic-symbol can suppress binding the references to the definition within the shared object if (-Bsymbolic or -Bsymbolic-functions)
4. --export-dynamic-symbol does not imply -u
I don't think the first three points can affect any user.
For the fourth point, Not implying -u can lead to some archive members unfetched.
Add -u foo to restore the previous behavior.
Exact semantics:
* -no-pie or -pie: matched non-local defined symbols will be added to the dynamic symbol table.
* -shared: matched non-local STV_DEFAULT symbols will not be bound to definitions within the shared object
even if they would otherwise be due to -Bsymbolic, -Bsymbolic-functions, or --dynamic-list.

For a relative path in INPUT() or GROUP(), this patch changes the search order by adding the directory of the current linker script.
The new search order (consistent with GNU ld >= 2.35 regarding the new test `test/ELF/input-relative.s`):
1. the directory of the current linker script (GNU ld from Binutils 2.35 onwards; https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25806)
2. the current working directory
3. library paths (-L)
This behavior makes it convenient to replace a .so or .a with a linker script with additional input. For example, glibc
```
% cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.a
/* GNU ld script
*/
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf64-x86-64)
GROUP ( /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm-2.29.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmvec.a )
```
could be simplified as `GROUP(libm-2.29.a libmvec.a)`.
Another example is to make libc++.a a linker script:
```
INPUT(libc++.a.1 libc++abi.a)
```
Note, -l is not affected.

This essentially drops the change by r288021 (discussed with Georgii Rymar

GNU ld>=2.31 enables -z separate-code by default for Linux x86. By
default (in the absence of a PHDRS command) a readonly PT_LOAD is
created, which is different from its traditional behavior.
Not emulating GNU ld's traditional behavior is good for us because it
improves code consistency (we create a readonly PT_LOAD in the absence
of a SECTIONS command).
Users can add --no-rosegment to restore the previous behavior (combined

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.

This doesn't actually modify StringRef yet, I'll do that in a follow-up.
Summary:
Linker scripts allow filenames to be put in double quotes to prevent
characters in filenames that are part of the linker script syntax from
having their special meaning. Case in point the * wildcard character.
Availability of double quoting filenames also allows to fix a failure in
ELF/linkerscript/filename-spec.s when the path contain a @ which the
lexer consider as a special characters and thus break up a filename
containing it. This may happens under Jenkins which createspath such as
pipeline@2.
To avoid the need for escaping GlobPattern metacharacters in filename
in double quotes, GlobPattern::create is augmented with a new parameter
to request literal matching instead of relying on the presence of a
wildcard character in the pattern.

The INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS linker script command is used to constrain the
section pattern matching to sections that match certain combinations of
flags.
There are two ways to express the constraint.
withFlags: Section must have these flags.
withoutFlags: Section must not have these flags.
The syntax of the command is:
INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS '(' sect_flag_list ')'
sect_flag_list: NAME
| sect_flag_list '&' NAME
Where NAME matches a section flag name such as SHF_EXECINSTR, or the
integer value of a section flag. If the first character of NAME is ! then
it means must not contain flag.
We do not support the rare case of { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS(flags) filespec }
where filespec has no input section description like (.text).
As an example from the ld man page:
SECTIONS {
.text : { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS (SHF_MERGE & SHF_STRINGS) *(.text) }
.text2 : { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS (!SHF_WRITE) *(.text) }
}
.text will match sections called .text that have both the SHF_MERGE and
SHF_STRINGS flag.
.text2 will match sections called .text that don't have the SHF_WRITE flag.
The flag names accepted are the generic to all targets and SHF_ARM_PURECODE
as it is very useful to filter all the pure code sections into a single
program header that can be marked execute never.

We prioritize non-* wildcards overs VER_NDX_LOCAL/VER_NDX_GLOBAL "*".
This patch generalizes the rule to "*" of other versions and thus fixes PR40176.
I don't feel strongly about this GNU linkers' behavior but the
generalization simplifies code.
Delete `config->defaultSymbolVersion` which was used to special case
VER_NDX_LOCAL/VER_NDX_GLOBAL "*".
In `SymbolTable::scanVersionScript`, custom versions are handled the same
way as VER_NDX_LOCAL/VER_NDX_GLOBAL. So merge
`config->versionScript{Locals,Globals}` into `config->versionDefinitions`.
Overall this seems to simplify the code.
In `SymbolTable::assign{Exact,Wildcard}Versions`,
`sym->verdefIndex == config->defaultSymbolVersion` is changed to
`verdefIndex == UINT32_C(-1)`.
This allows us to give duplicate assignment diagnostics for
`{ global: foo; };` `V1 { global: foo; };`
In test/linkerscript/version-script.s:
vs_index of an undefined symbol changes from 0 to 1. This doesn't matter (arguably 1 is better because the binding is STB_GLOBAL) because vs_index of an undefined symbol is ignored.

This patch is mechanically generated by clang-llvm-rename tool that I wrote
using Clang Refactoring Engine just for creating this patch. You can see the
source code of the tool at https://reviews.llvm.org/D64123. There's no manual
post-processing; you can generate the same patch by re-running the tool against
lld's code base.
Here is the main discussion thread to change the LLVM coding style:
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-February/130083.html
In the discussion thread, I proposed we use lld as a testbed for variable
naming scheme change, and this patch does that.
I chose to rename variables so that they are in camelCase, just because that
is a minimal change to make variables to start with a lowercase letter.
Note to downstream patch maintainers: if you are maintaining a downstream lld
repo, just rebasing ahead of this commit would cause massive merge conflicts
because this patch essentially changes every line in the lld subdirectory. But
there's a remedy.
clang-llvm-rename tool is a batch tool, so you can rename variables in your
downstream repo with the tool. Given that, here is how to rebase your repo to
a commit after the mass renaming:
1. rebase to the commit just before the mass variable renaming,
2. apply the tool to your downstream repo to mass-rename variables locally, and
3. rebase again to the head.
Most changes made by the tool should be identical for a downstream repo and
for the head, so at the step 3, almost all changes should be merged and
disappear. I'd expect that there would be some lines that you need to merge by
hand, but that shouldn't be too many.

The -n (--nmagic) disables page alignment, and acts as a -Bstatic
The -N (--omagic) does what -n does but also marks the executable segment as
writeable. As page alignment is disabled headers are not allocated unless
explicit in the linker script.
To disable page alignment in LLD we choose to set the page sizes to 1 so
that any alignment based on the page size does nothing. To set the
Target->PageSize to 1 we implement -z common-page-size, which has the side
effect of allowing the user to set the value as well.
Setting the page alignments to 1 does mean that any use of
CONSTANT(MAXPAGESIZE) or CONSTANT(COMMONPAGESIZE) in a linker script will
return 1, unlike in ld.bfd. However given that -n and -N disable paging
these probably shouldn't be used in a linker script where -n or -N is in
