Whilst reviewing some internal testing, I noticed a couple of holes in
coverage of mergeable sections containing symbols. This patch addresses
these holes:
1) Show that mid-piece symbols have their values updated properly when
pieces are merged.
2) Show the behaviour of symbols in mergeable pieces when --gc-sections
is enabled.

Previously, we were only emitting regular bindings to weak
dynamic symbols; this diff adds support for the weak bindings too, which
can overwrite the regular bindings at runtime. We also treat weak
defined global symbols similarly -- since they can also be interposed at
runtime, they need to be treated as potentially dynamic symbols.
Note that weak bindings differ from regular bindings in that they do not
specify the dylib to do the lookup in (i.e. weak symbol lookup happens
in a flat namespace.)

Previously, the BindingEntry struct could only store bindings to offsets
within InputSections. Since the GOTSection and TLVPointerSections are
OutputSections, I handled those in a separate code path. However, this
makes it awkward to support weak bindings properly without code
duplication. This diff allows BindingEntries to point directly to
OutputSections, simplifying the upcoming weak binding implementation.
Along the way, I also converted a bunch of functions taking references
to symbols to take pointers instead. Given how much casting we do for
Symbol (especially in the upcoming weak binding diffs), it's cleaner
this way.

The function `__tls_get_addr` is used to get the address of an object that is Thread Local Storage.
It needs to have two relocations on it.
One relocation is for the function call itself and it is either R_PPC64_REL24 or R_PPC64_REL24_NOTOC.
The other is R_PPC64_TLSGD or R_PPC64_TLSLD for the symbol that is having its address computed.
In the early days of the transition from the ELFv1 ABI that is used for big endian PowerPC Linux distributions to the ELFv2 ABI that is used for little endian PowerPC Linux distributions, there was some ambiguity in the specification of the relocations for TLS. The GNU linker has implemented support for correct handling of calls to __tls_get_addr with a missing relocation. Unfortunately, we didn't notice that the IBM XL compiler did not handle TLS according to the updated ABI until we tried linking XL compiled libraries with LLD. As a result, there is a lot of code out there in various libraries compiled with XL that have this problem.
This patch adds a new error check in LLD that makes sure calls to `__tls_get_addr` are not missing the TLSGD/TLSLD relocation.

PR46970: for `alias = aliasee`, the alias can be used in relocation processing
and on ARM st_type does affect Thumb interworking. It is thus desirable for the
alias to get the same st_type.
Note that the st_size field should not be inherited because some tools use
st_size=0 as a heuristic to detect aliases. Retaining st_size can thwart such
heuristics and cause aliases to be preferred over the original symbols.

* GNU ld places non-SHF_ALLOC sections after SHF_ALLOC sections. This has the
advantage that the file offsets of a non-SHF_ALLOC cannot be contained in
a PT_LOAD. This patch matches the behavior.
* For non-SHF_ALLOC non-orphan sections, GNU ld may assign non-zero sh_addr and
treat them similar to SHT_NOBITS (not advance location counter). This
is an alternative approach to what we have done in D85100.
By placing non-SHF_ALLOC sections at the end, we can drop special
cases in createSection and findOrphanPos added by D85100.
Different from GNU ld, we set sh_addr to 0 for non-SHF_ALLOC sections. 0
arguably is better because non-SHF_ALLOC sections don't appear in the memory
image.
ELF spec says:
> sh_addr - If the section will appear in the memory image of a process, this
> member gives the address at which the section's first byte should
> reside. Otherwise, the member contains 0.
D85100 appeared to take a detour. If we take a combined view on D85100 and this
patch, the overall complexity slightly increases (one more 3-line loop) and
compatibility with GNU ld improves.
The behavior we don't want to match is the special treatment of .symtab
.shstrtab .strtab: they can be matched in LLD but not in GNU ld.

LLD currently does not allow non-contiguous SHF_LINK_ORDER components in an
output section. This makes it infeasible to add SHF_LINK_ORDER to an existing
metadata section if backward compatibility with older object files are
concerned.
We did not allow mixed components (like GNU ld) and D77007 relaxed to allow
non-contiguous SHF_LINK_ORDER components. This patch allows arbitrary mix, with
sorting performed within an InputSectionDescription. For example,
`.rodata : {*(.rodata.foo) *(.rodata.bar)}`, has two InputSectionDescription's.
If there is at least one SHF_LINK_ORDER and at least one non-SHF_LINK_ORDER in
.rodata.foo, they are ordered within `*(.rodata.foo)`: we arbitrarily place
SHF_LINK_ORDER components before non-SHF_LINK_ORDER components (like Solaris ld).
`*(.rodata.bar)` is ordered similarly, but the two InputSectionDescription's
don't interact. It can be argued that this is more reasonable than the previous
behavior where written order was not respected.
It would be nice if the two different semantics (ordering requirement & garbage
collection) were not overloaded on one section flag, however, it is probably
difficult to obtain a generic flag at this point
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/generic-abi/hgx_m1aXqUo
"SHF_LINK_ORDER's original semantics make upgrade difficult").
(Actually, without the GC semantics, SHF_LINK_ORDER would still have the
sh_link!=0 & sh_link=0 issue. It is just that people find the GC semantics more
useful and tend to use the feature more often.)

This patch implements the handling for the R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT relocation as well
as the GOT relocation for the associated R_PPC64_GOT_PCREL34 relocation.
On Power10 targets with PC-Relative addressing, the linker can relax
GOT-relative accesses to PC-Relative under some conditions. Since the sequence
consists of a prefixed load, followed by a non-prefixed access (load or store),
the linker needs to replace the first instruction (as the replacement
instruction will be prefixed). The compiler communicates to the linker that
this optimization is safe by placing the two aforementioned relocations on the
GOT load (of the address).
The linker then does two things:
- Convert the load from the got into a PC-Relative add to compute the address
relative to the PC
- Find the instruction referred to by the second relocation (R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT)
and replace the first with the PC-Relative version of it
It is important to synchronize the mapping from legacy memory instructions to
their PC-Relative form. Hence, this patch adds a file to be included by both
the compiler and the linker so they're always in agreement.

This makes the test introduced in 537f5483fe more robust with respect
to the actual version number. The previous regex restricted the version
to start with a leading `1` which was overly restrictive.
-gdwarf-5 -fdebug-types-section may produce multiple .debug_info sections. All
except one are type units (.debug_types before DWARF v5). When constructing
.gdb_index, we should ignore these type units. We use a simple heuristic: the
compile unit does not have the SHF_GROUP flag. (This needs to be revisited if
people place compile unit .debug_info in COMDAT groups.)
This issue manifests as a data race: because an object file may have multiple
.debug_info sections, we may concurrently construct `LLDDwarfObj` for the same
file in multiple threads. The threads may access `InputSectionBase::data()`
concurrently on the same input section. `InputSectionBase::data()` does a lazy
uncompress() and rewrites the member variable `rawData`. A thread running zlib
`inflate()` (transitively called by uncompress()) on a buffer with `rawData`
tampered by another thread may fail with `uncompress failed: zlib error: Z_DATA_ERROR`.
Even if no data race occurred in an optimistic run, if there are N .debug_info,
one CU entry and its address ranges will be replicated N times. The result
.gdb_index can be much larger than a correct one.
The new test gdb-index-dwarf5-type-unit.s actually has two compile units. This
cannot be produced with regular approaches (it can be produced with -r
--unique). This is used to demonstrate that the .gdb_index construction code
only considers the last non-SHF_GROUP .debug_info

We can identify thread-locals in dylibs by a flag in their export trie
entries, and we cross-check it with the relocations that refer to them
