When integrating PDB output in mingw targeting build systems, it
might be a lot of extra work to specify unique file names for
the pdb output. Therefore allow omitting the actual file name
and let it implicitly be the same name as the linker output, with
a pdb extension.
As the current form of the pdb option takes a separate parameter value,
e.g. "-pdb out.pdb", it is impractical to leave out the parameter value.
Therefore, introduce a second syntax for the option, with an equals
sign, like -pdb=out.pdb, where the value easily can be omitted.
The form -pdb= for requesting pdb files with an implicit name should
work fine, even though it looks a bit unconventional in that form.

This patch implements a limited form of autolinking primarily designed to allow
either the --dependent-library compiler option, or "comment lib" pragmas (
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/preprocessor/comment-c-cpp?view=vs-2017) in
C/C++ e.g. #pragma comment(lib, "foo"), to cause an ELF linker to automatically
add the specified library to the link when processing the input file generated
by the compiler.
Currently this extension is unique to LLVM and LLD. However, care has been taken
to design this feature so that it could be supported by other ELF linkers.
The design goals were to provide:
- A simple linking model for developers to reason about.
- The ability to to override autolinking from the linker command line.
- Source code compatibility, where possible, with "comment lib" pragmas in other
environments (MSVC in particular).
Dependent library support is implemented differently for ELF platforms than on
the other platforms. Primarily this difference is that on ELF we pass the
dependent library specifiers directly to the linker without manipulating them.
This is in contrast to other platforms where they are mapped to a specific
linker option by the compiler. This difference is a result of the greater
variety of ELF linkers and the fact that ELF linkers tend to handle libraries in
a more complicated fashion than on other platforms. This forces us to defer
handling the specifiers to the linker.
In order to achieve a level of source code compatibility with other platforms
we have restricted this feature to work with libraries that meet the following
"reasonable" requirements:
1. There are no competing defined symbols in a given set of libraries, or
if they exist, the program owner doesn't care which is linked to their
program.
2. There may be circular dependencies between libraries.
The binary representation is a mergeable string section (SHF_MERGE,
SHF_STRINGS), called .deplibs, with custom type SHT_LLVM_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES
(0x6fff4c04). The compiler forms this section by concatenating the arguments of
the "comment lib" pragmas and --dependent-library options in the order they are
encountered. Partial (-r, -Ur) links are handled by concatenating .deplibs
sections with the normal mergeable string section rules. As an example, #pragma
comment(lib, "foo") would result in:
.section ".deplibs","MS",@llvm_dependent_libraries,1
.asciz "foo"
For LTO, equivalent information to the contents of a the .deplibs section can be
retrieved by the LLD for bitcode input files.
LLD processes the dependent library specifiers in the following way:
1. Dependent libraries which are found from the specifiers in .deplibs sections
of relocatable object files are added when the linker decides to include that
file (which could itself be in a library) in the link. Dependent libraries
behave as if they were appended to the command line after all other options. As
a consequence the set of dependent libraries are searched last to resolve
symbols.
2. It is an error if a file cannot be found for a given specifier.
3. Any command line options in effect at the end of the command line parsing apply
to the dependent libraries, e.g. --whole-archive.
4. The linker tries to add a library or relocatable object file from each of the
strings in a .deplibs section by; first, handling the string as if it was
specified on the command line; second, by looking for the string in each of the
library search paths in turn; third, by looking for a lib<string>.a or
lib<string>.so (depending on the current mode of the linker) in each of the
library search paths.
5. A new command line option --no-dependent-libraries tells LLD to ignore the
dependent libraries.
Rationale for the above points:
1. Adding the dependent libraries last makes the process simple to understand
from a developers perspective. All linkers are able to implement this scheme.
2. Error-ing for libraries that are not found seems like better behavior than
failing the link during symbol resolution.
3. It seems useful for the user to be able to apply command line options which
will affect all of the dependent libraries. There is a potential problem of
surprise for developers, who might not realize that these options would apply
to these "invisible" input files; however, despite the potential for surprise,
this is easy for developers to reason about and gives developers the control
that they may require.
4. This algorithm takes into account all of the different ways that ELF linkers
find input files. The different search methods are tried by the linker in most
obvious to least obvious order.
5. I considered adding finer grained control over which dependent libraries were
ignored (e.g. MSVC has /nodefaultlib:<library>); however, I concluded that this
is not necessary: if finer control is required developers can fall back to using
the command line directly.

This is the last patch of the series of patches to make it possible to
resolve symbols without asking SymbolTable to do so.
The main point of this patch is the introduction of
`elf::resolveSymbol(Symbol *Old, Symbol *New)`. That function resolves
or merges given symbols by examining symbol types and call
replaceSymbol (which memcpy's New to Old) if necessary.
With the new function, we have now separated symbol resolution from
symbol lookup. If you already have a Symbol pointer, you can directly
resolve the symbol without asking SymbolTable to do that.
Now that the nice abstraction become available, I can start working on
performance improvement of the linker. As a starter, I'm thinking of
making --{start,end}-lib faster.
--{start,end}-lib is currently unnecessarily slow because it looks up
the symbol table twice for each symbol.
- The first hash table lookup/insertion occurs when we instantiate a
LazyObject file to insert LazyObject symbols.
- The second hash table lookup/insertion occurs when we create an
ObjFile from LazyObject file. That overwrites LazyObject symbols
with Defined symbols.
I think it is not too hard to see how we can now eliminate the second
hash table lookup. We can keep LazyObject symbols in Step 1, and then
call elf::resolveSymbol() to do Step 2.

SymbolTable's add-family functions have lots of parameters because
when they have to create a new symbol, they forward given arguments
to Symbol's constructors. Therefore, the functions take at least as
many arguments as their corresponding constructors.
This patch simplifies the add-family functions. Now, the functions
take a symbol instead of arguments to construct a symbol. If there's
no existing symbol, a given symbol is memcpy'ed to the symbol table.
Otherwise, the functions attempt to merge the existing and a given
new symbol.
I also eliminated `CanOmitFromDynSym` parameter, so that the functions
take really one argument.
Symbol classes are trivially constructible, so looks like constructing
them to pass to add-family functions is as cheap as passing a lot of
arguments to the functions. A quick benchmark showed that this patch
seems performance-neutral.

Patch by Mark Johnston!
Summary:
When the option is configured, ifunc calls do not go through the PLT;
rather, they appear as regular function calls with relocations
referencing the ifunc symbol, and the resolver is invoked when
applying the relocation. This is intended for use in freestanding
environments where text relocations are permissible and is incompatible
with the -z text option. The option is motivated by ifunc usage in the
FreeBSD kernel, where ifuncs are used to elide CPU feature flag bit
checks in hot paths. Instead of replacing the cost of a branch with that
of an indirect function call, the -z ifunc-noplt option is used to ensure
that ifunc calls carry no hidden overhead relative to normal function
calls.
Test Plan:
I added a couple of regression tests and tested the FreeBSD kernel
build using the latest lld sources.
To demonstrate the effects of the change, I used a micro-benchmark
which results in frequent invocations of a FreeBSD kernel ifunc. The
benchmark was run with and without IBRS enabled, and with and without
-zifunc-noplt configured. The observed speedup is small and consistent,
and is significantly larger with IBRS enabled:

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
use.

As demonstrated by the updated tests, this essentially changes placement
of most thunks to the end of the output section. We leverage this
property to fix PR40740 reported by Alfredo Dal'Ava Júnior:
The output section .init consists of input sections from several object
files (crti.o crtbegin.o crtend.o crtn.o). Sections other than the last
one do not have a terminator. With this patch, we create the thunk after
the last .init input section and thus fix the issue. This is not
foolproof but works quite well for such sections (with no terminator) in

Summary:
Prior to this change, every implementation of writeTo would add
OutputSectionOff to the output section buffer start before writing data.
Instead, do this math in the caller, so that it can be written once
instead of many times.
The output section offset is always equivalent to the difference between
the chunk RVA and the output section RVA, so we can replace the one
remaining usage of OutputSectionOff with that subtraction.
This doesn't change the size of SectionChunk because of alignment
requirements, but I will rearrange the fields in a follow-up change to
accomplish that.
