Adding all libcall symbols to the link can have undesired consequences.
For example, the libgcc implementation of __sync_val_compare_and_swap_8
on 32-bit ARM pulls in an .init_array entry that aborts the program if
the Linux kernel does not support 64-bit atomics, which would prevent
the program from running even if it does not use 64-bit atomics.
This change makes it so that we only add libcall symbols to the
link before LTO if we have to, i.e. if the symbol's definition is in
bitcode. Any other required libcall symbols will be added to the link
after LTO when we add the LTO object file to the link.

Almost all entries inside MIPS GOT are referenced by signed 16-bit
index. Zero entry lies approximately in the middle of the GOT. So the
total number of GOT entries cannot exceed ~16384 for 32-bit architecture
and ~8192 for 64-bit architecture. This limitation makes impossible to
link rather large application like for example LLVM+Clang. There are two
workaround for this problem. The first one is using the -mxgot
compiler's flag. It enables using a 32-bit index to access GOT entries.
But each access requires two assembly instructions two load GOT entry
index to a register. Another workaround is multi-GOT. This patch
implements it.
Here is a brief description of multi-GOT for detailed one see the
following link https://dmz-portal.mips.com/wiki/MIPS_Multi_GOT.
If the sum of local, global and tls entries is less than 64K only single
got is enough. Otherwise, multi-got is created. Series of primary and
multiple secondary GOTs have the following layout:
```
- Primary GOT
Header
Local entries
Global entries
Relocation only entries
TLS entries
- Secondary GOT
Local entries
Global entries
TLS entries
...
```
All GOT entries required by relocations from a single input file
entirely belong to either primary or one of secondary GOTs. To reference
GOT entries each GOT has its own _gp value points to the "middle" of the
GOT. In the code this value loaded to the register which is used for GOT
access.
MIPS 32 function's prologue:
```
lui v0,0x0
0: R_MIPS_HI16 _gp_disp
addiu v0,v0,0
4: R_MIPS_LO16 _gp_disp
```
MIPS 64 function's prologue:
```
lui at,0x0
14: R_MIPS_GPREL16 main
```
Dynamic linker does not know anything about secondary GOTs and cannot
use a regular MIPS mechanism for GOT entries initialization. So we have
to use an approach accepted by other architectures and create dynamic
relocations R_MIPS_REL32 to initialize global entries (and local in case
of PIC code) in secondary GOTs. But ironically MIPS dynamic linker
requires GOT entries and correspondingly ordered dynamic symbol table
entries to deal with dynamic relocations. To handle this problem
relocation-only section in the primary GOT contains entries for all
symbols referenced in global parts of secondary GOTs. Although the sum
of local and normal global entries of the primary got should be less
than 64K, the size of the primary got (including relocation-only entries
can be greater than 64K, because parts of the primary got that overflow
the 64K limit are used only by the dynamic linker at dynamic link-time
and not by 16-bit gp-relative addressing at run-time.
The patch affects common LLD code in the following places:
- Added new hidden -mips-got-size flag. This flag required to set low
maximum size of a single GOT to be able to test the implementation using
small test cases.
- Added InputFile argument to the getRelocTargetVA function. The same
symbol referenced by GOT relocation from different input file might be
allocated in different GOT. So result of relocation depends on the file.
- Added new ctor to the DynamicReloc class. This constructor records
settings of dynamic relocation which used to adjust address of 64kb page
lies inside a specific output section.
With the patch LLD is able to link all LLVM+Clang+LLD applications and
libraries for MIPS 32/64 targets.

On PowerPC calls to functions through the plt must be done through a call stub
that is responsible for:
1) Saving the toc pointer to the stack.
2) Loading the target functions address from the plt into both r12 and the
count register.
3) Indirectly branching to the target function.
Previously we have been emitting these call stubs to the .plt section, however
the .plt section should be reserved for the lazy symbol resolution stubs. This
patch moves the call stubs to the text section by moving the implementation from
writePlt to the thunk framework.

This is slightly simpler to read IMHO. Now if a symbol has a position
in the file, it is Defined.
The main motivation is that with this a SharedSymbol doesn't need a
section, which reduces the size of SymbolUnion.
With this the peak allocation when linking chromium goes from 568.1 to
564.2 MB.

This adds an extra level of static safety to our use of placement

may be reused without calling the destructor.

Symbol had both Visibility and getVisibility() and they had different
meanings. That is just too easy to get wrong.
getVisibility() would compute the visibility of a particular symbol
(foo in bar.o), and Visibility stores the computed value we will put
in the output.
There is only one case when we want what getVisibility() provides, so
inline it.

By using an index instead of a pointer for verdef we can put the index
next to the alignment field. This uses the otherwise wasted area and
reduces the shared symbol size.
By itself the performance change of this is in the noise, but I have a
followup patch to remove another 8 bytes that improves performance
when combined with this.

This includes a fix to mark copy reloc aliases as used.
Original message:
[ELF] Do not keep symbols if they referenced only from discarded sections.
This patch also ensures that in case of "--as-needed" is used,
DT_NEEDED entries are not created if they are required only by
these eliminated symbols.

Currently we mark every shared symbol as STB_WEAK.
That is a hack to make it easy to decide when a .so is needed or not
because of a reference to a given symbol.
That hack leaks when we create copy relocations as shown by the update
to relocation-copy-alias.s.
This patch stores the original binding when we first read a shared
symbol. We still have to update the binding to weak if we see a weak
undef, but I find the logic easier to read where it is now.

I don't remember why I made shared symbols one type of defined symbols.
Shared symbols aren't undefined, so it could be considered defined, but
categorizing three symbols as:
- defined
- really defined
- shared
- undefined
is not as intuitive as
- defined
- shared
- undefined
to me. So, in this patch, I made a change to stop handling shared
symbols as defined symbols.
Surprisingly, I didn't have to update any tests for this change.

SymbolBody and Symbol were separated classes due to a historical reason.
Symbol used to be a pointer to a SymbolBody, and the relationship
between Symbol and SymbolBody was n:1.
r2681780 changed that. Since that patch, SymbolBody and Symbol are
allocated next to each other to improve memory locality, and they have
1:1 relationship now. So, the separation of Symbol and SymbolBody no
longer makes sense.
This patch merges them into one class. In order to avoid updating too
many places, I chose SymbolBody as a unified name. I'll rename it Symbol
in a follow-up patch.

What we mean by "DSO" here is the current output file that we are
creating. Thus the new name. Alternatively, we could call it the current
ELF module, but "module" is a overloaded word, so I avoided that.

In order to keep track of symbol renaming, we used to have
Config->SymbolRenaming, and whether a symbol is in the map or not
