Stub dylibs differ from "real" dylibs in that they lack any content in
their sections. What they do have are export tries and symbol tables,
which means we can still link against them. I am unclear how to
properly create these stub dylibs; XCode 11.3's `lipo` is able to create
stub dylibs, but those lack LC_ID_DYLIB load commands and are considered
invalid by most tooling. Newer versions of `lipo` aren't able to create
stub dylibs at all. However, recent SDKs in XCode still come with valid
stub dylibs, so it still seems worthwhile to support them. The YAML in
this diff's test was generated by taking a non-stub dylib and editing
the appropriate fields.

ICF was not able to merge equivalent sections because of relocations to
sections ineligible for ICF that use alternative symbols, e.g. symbol
aliases or section relative relocations.
Merging in this scenario has been enabled by giving the sections that
are ineligible for ICF a unique ID, i.e. an equivalence class of their
own. This approach also provides another benefit as it improves the
hashing that is used to perform the initial equivalance grouping for
ICF. This is because the ICF ineligible sections can now contribute a
unique value towards the hashes instead of the same value of zero. This
has been seen to reduce link time with ICF by ~68% for objects compiled
with -fprofile-instr-generate.
In order to facilitate this use of a unique ID, the existing
inconsistent approach to the setting of the InputSection eqClass in ICF
has been changed so that there is a clear distinction between the
eqClass values of ICF eligible sections and those of the ineligible
sections that have a unique ID. This inconsistency could have caused
incorrect equivalence class equality in the past, although it appears
that no issues were encountered in actual use.

This reverts 9b5b305023 and fixes the unwanted re-ordering when generating ThinLTO indexes.
The goal of this patch is to better balance thread utilization during ThinLTO in-process linking (in llvm-lto2 or in LLD). Before this patch, large modules would often be scheduled late during execution, taking a long time to complete, thus starving the thread pool.
We now sort modules in descending order, based on each module's bitcode size, so that larger modules are processed first. By doing so, smaller modules have a better chance to keep the thread pool active, and thus avoid starvation when the bitcode compilation is almost complete.
In our case (on dual Intel Xeon Gold 6140, Windows 10 version 2004, two-stage build), this saves 15 sec when linking `clang.exe` with LLD & -flto=thin, /opt:lldltojobs=all, no ThinLTO cache, -DLLVM_INTEGRATED_CRT_ALLOC=d:\git\rpmalloc.

When adding an archive member with a problem, e.g. a new bitcode with an

simply add the member to the archive without any symbol entries. This
meant that the resultant archive could be silently unusable when not
using --whole-archive, and result in unexpected undefined symbols.
This change fixes this issue by addressing two FIXMEs and only throwing
away not-an-object errors. However, this meant that some LLD tests which
didn't need symbol tables and were using invalid members deliberately to
test the linker's malformed input handling no longer worked, so this

__wrap_sym and sym are routing targets, so they need to be exposed to the symbol
table. __real_sym is not and can be eliminated if not used by regular object.
This adds support for new-style command support. In this mode, all exports
are considered command entrypoints, and the linker inserts calls to
`__wasm_call_ctors` and `__wasm_call_dtors` for all such entrypoints.
This enables support for:
- Command entrypoints taking arguments other than strings and return values
other than `int`.
- Multicall executables without requiring on the use of string-based
command-line arguments.
This new behavior is disabled when the input has an explicit call to
`__wasm_call_ctors`, indicating code not expecting new-style command
support.
This change does mean that wasm-ld no longer supports DCE-ing the
`__wasm_call_ctors` function when there are no calls to it. If there are no
calls to it, and there are ctors present, we assume it's wasm-ld's job to
insert the calls. This seems ok though, because if there are ctors present,
the program is expecting them to be called. This change affects the

The main source of the additional overhead in the single-threaded case
is the need to iterate all .debug$T sections up front to check which
type records should go in the IPI stream. See fillIsItemIndexFromDebugT.
With changes to the .debug$H section, we could pre-calculate this info
and eliminate the need to do this walk up front. That should restore
single-threaded performance back to what it was before this change.
This change will cause LLD to be much more parallel than it used to, and
for users who do multiple links in parallel, it could regress
performance. However, when the user is only doing one link, it's a huge
improvement. In the future, we can use NT worker threads to avoid
oversaturating the machine with work, but for now, this is such an
improvement for the single-link use case that I think we should land
this as is.

been seen, and if it hasn't been seen, insert it now and use the next
available type index for it in the destination type stream. DenseMap
does not support concurrent insertion, and even if it did, the linker
must be deterministic: it cannot produce different PDBs by using
different numbers of threads. The output type stream must be in the same
order regardless of the order of hash table insertions.
In order to create a hash table that supports concurrent insertion, the
table cells must be small enough that they can be updated atomically.
The algorithm I used for updating the table using linear probing is
described in this paper, "Concurrent Hash Tables: Fast and General(?)!":
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3309206
The GHashCell in this change is essentially a pair of 32-bit integer
indices: <sourceIndex, typeIndex>. The sourceIndex is the index of the
TpiSource object, and it represents an input type stream. The typeIndex
is the index of the type in the stream. Together, we have something like
a ragged 2D array of ghashes, which can be looked up as:
tpiSources[tpiSrcIndex]->ghashes[typeIndex]
By using these side tables, we can omit the key data from the hash
table, and keep the table cell small. There is a cost to this: resolving
hash table collisions requires many more loads than simply looking at
the key in the same cache line as the insertion position. However, most
supported platforms should have a 64-bit CAS operation to update the
cell atomically.
To make the result of concurrent insertion deterministic, the cell
payloads must have a priority function. Defining one is pretty
straightforward: compare the two 32-bit numbers as a combined 64-bit
number. This means that types coming from inputs earlier on the command
line have a higher priority and are more likely to appear earlier in the
final PDB type stream than types from an input appearing later on the
link line.
After table insertion, the non-empty cells in the table can be copied
out of the main table and sorted by priority to determine the ordering
of the final type index stream. At this point, item and type records
must be separated, either by sorting or by splitting into two arrays,
and I chose sorting. This is why the GHashCell must contain the isItem
bit.
Once the final PDB TPI stream ordering is known, we need to compute a
mapping from source type index to PDB type index. To avoid starting over
from scratch and looking up every type again by its ghash, we save the
insertion position of every hash table insertion during the first
insertion phase. Because the table does not support rehashing, the
insertion position is stable. Using the array of insertion positions
indexed by source type index, we can replace the source type indices in
the ghash table cells with the PDB type indices.
Once the table cells have been updated to contain PDB type indices, the
mapping for each type source can be computed in parallel. Simply iterate
the list of cell positions and replace them with the PDB type index,
since the insertion positions are no longer needed.
Once we have a source to destination type index mapping for every type
source, there are no more data dependencies. We know which type records
are "unique" (not duplicates), and what their final type indices will
be. We can do the remapping in parallel, and accumulate type sizes and
type hashes in parallel by type source.
Lastly, TPI stream layout must be done serially. Accumulate all the type
records, sizes, and hashes, and add them to the PDB.

This makes type merging much faster (-24% on chrome.dll) when multiple
threads are available, but it slightly increases the time to link (+10%)
when /threads:1 is passed. With only one more thread, the new type
merging is faster (-11%). The output PDB should be identical to what it
was before this change.
To give an idea, here is the /time output placed side by side:
BEFORE | AFTER
Input File Reading: 956 ms | 968 ms
Code Layout: 258 ms | 190 ms
Commit Output File: 6 ms | 7 ms
PDB Emission (Cumulative): 6691 ms | 4253 ms

Type Merging: 2814 ms | 1269 ms -55%!
Symbol Merging: 1509 ms | 1645 ms
Publics Stream Layout: 111 ms | 112 ms
TPI Stream Layout: 764 ms | 26 ms trivial
Commit to Disk: 1322 ms | 1036 ms -300ms
----------------------------------------- --------
Total Link Time: 8416 ms 5882 ms -30% overall
The main source of the additional overhead in the single-threaded case
is the need to iterate all .debug$T sections up front to check which
type records should go in the IPI stream. See fillIsItemIndexFromDebugT.
With changes to the .debug$H section, we could pre-calculate this info
and eliminate the need to do this walk up front. That should restore
single-threaded performance back to what it was before this change.
This change will cause LLD to be much more parallel than it used to, and
for users who do multiple links in parallel, it could regress
performance. However, when the user is only doing one link, it's a huge
improvement. In the future, we can use NT worker threads to avoid
oversaturating the machine with work, but for now, this is such an
improvement for the single-link use case that I think we should land
this as is.

They operate like Defined symbols but with no associated InputSection.
Note that `ld64` seems to treat the weak definition flag like a no-op for
absolute symbols, so I have replicated that behavior.

Apparently this is used in real programs. I've handled this by reusing
the logic we already have for branch (function call) relocations.

Not 100% sure but it appears that bundles are almost identical to
dylibs, aside from the fact that they do not contain `LC_ID_DYLIB`. ld64's code
seems to treat bundles and dylibs identically in most places.
Supporting bundles allows us to run e.g. XCTests, as all test suites are
compiled into bundles which get dynamically loaded by the `xctest` test runner.

* Implement rebase opcodes. Rebase opcodes tell dyld where absolute
addresses have been encoded in the binary. If the binary is not loaded
at its preferred address, dyld has to rebase these addresses by adding
an offset to them.
* Support `-pie` and use it to test rebase opcodes.
This is necessary for absolute address references in dylibs, bundles etc
to work.

The R2 save stub will now support offsets up to 64 bits.
There are three cases that will be used.
1) The offset fits in 26 bits.
```
b <26 bit offset>
```
2) The offset does not fit in 26 bits but fits in 34 bits.
```
paddi r12, 0, <34 bit offset>, 1
mtctr r12
bctr
```
3) The offset does not fit in 34 bits. Since this is an R2 save stub we can use
the TOC in R2. We are not loading the offset but the actual address we want to
branch to.
```
addis r12, r2, <address in TOC lo>
ld r12 <address in TOC hi>(r12)
mtctr r12
bctr
```
In case 1) the stub is only 8 bytes while in cases 2) and 3) the stub will be
20 bytes.
