Shankar Easwaran 0abfc278f0 [ELF] Fix values of linker created dynamic variables.
The value of _DYNAMIC should be pointing at the start of the .dynamic segment.
This was pointing to the end of the dynamic segment. Similarly the value of
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ was not proper too.

Rafael Auler 5a1000dddc [lld] [ELF] Support for general dynamic TLS relocations on X86_64
Summary:
This patch adds support for the general dynamic TLS access model for X86_64 (see www.akkadia.org/drepper/tls.pdf).

To properly support TLS, the patch also changes the __tls_get_addr atom to be a shared library atom instead of a regularly defined atom (the previous lld approach). This closely models the reality of a function that will be resolved at runtime by the dynamic linker and loader itself (ld.so). I was tempted to force LLD to link against ld.so itself to resolve these symbols, but since GNU ld does not need the ld.so library to resolve this symbol, I decided to mimic its behavior and keep hardwired a definition of __tls_get_addr in the lld code.

This patch also moves some important logic that previously was only available to the MIPS lld backend to be used to all ELF backends. This logic, which now lives in the DefaultLayout class, will monitor which external (shared lib) symbols are really imported by the current module and will only populate the dynamic symbol table with used symbols, as opposed to the previous approach of dumping all shared lib symbols in the dynamic symbol table. This is important to this patch to avoid __tls_get_addr from getting injected into all dynamic symbol tables.

By solving the previous problem of always adding __tls_get_addr, now the produced symbol tables are slightly smaller. But this impacted several tests that relied on hardwired/predefined sizes of the symbol table, requiring this patch to update such tests.

Test Plan: Added a LIT test case that exercises a simple use case of TLS variable in a shared library.

Shankar Easwaran eeee23e60a This adds functionality for undefined atoms from dynamic libraries to be added
to the list of undefined atoms. 

The processing of undefined atoms from dynamic libraries is controlled by
use-shlib-undefines command line option. 

This patch also adds additional command line arguments to allow/disallow
unresolved symbols from shared libraries and mimics GNU ld behavior.

Nick Kledzik c314b46e71 This is my Driver refactoring patch.
The major changes are:
1) LinkerOptions has been merged into TargetInfo
2) LinkerInvocation has been merged into Driver
3) Drivers no longer convert arguments into an intermediate (core) argument 
   list, but instead create a TargetInfo object and call setter methods on 
   it. This is only how in-process linking would work. That is, you can 
   programmatically set up a TargetInfo object which controls the linking.
4) Lots of tweaks to test suite to work with driver changes
5) Add the DarwinDriver
6) I heavily doxygen commented TargetInfo.h

Things to do after this patch is committed:
a) Consider renaming TargetInfo, given its new roll. 
b) Consider pulling the list of input files out of TargetInfo. This will 
   enable in-process clients to create one TargetInfo the re-use it with 
   different input file lists.
c) Work out a way for Drivers to format the warnings and error done in 
   core linking.
