In llvm-objdump, we pass the address of the next MCInst. Ideally we
should just thread the address of the current address, unfortunately we
cannot call X86MCCodeEmitter::encodeInstruction (X86MCCodeEmitter

MCInstPrinter::printInst has other callers (e.g llvm-mc -filetype=asm, llvm-mca) which set Address to 0.

This essentially drops the change by r288021 (discussed with Georgii Rymar
and Peter Smith and noted down in the release note of lld 10).
GNU ld>=2.31 enables -z separate-code by default for Linux x86. By
default (in the absence of a PHDRS command) a readonly PT_LOAD is
created, which is different from its traditional behavior.
Not emulating GNU ld's traditional behavior is good for us because it
improves code consistency (we create a readonly PT_LOAD in the absence
of a SECTIONS command).
Users can add --no-rosegment to restore the previous behavior (combined
readonly and read-executable sections in a single RX PT_LOAD).

MCTargetOptionsCommandFlags.inc and CommandFlags.inc are headers which contain
cl::opt with static storage.
These headers are meant to be incuded by tools to make it easier to parametrize
codegen/mc.
However, these headers are also included in at least two libraries: lldCommon
and handle-llvm. As a result, when creating DYLIB, clang-cpp holds a reference
to the options, and lldCommon holds another reference. Linking the two in a
single executable, as zig does[0], results in a double registration.
This patch explores an other approach: the .inc files are moved to regular
files, and the registration happens on-demand through static declaration of
options in the constructor of a static object.

Any OUTPUT_FORMAT in a linker script overrides the emulation passed on
the command line, so record the passed bfdname and use that in the error
message about incompatible input files.
This prevents confusing error messages. For example, if you explicitly
pass `-m elf_x86_64` to LLD but accidentally include a linker script
which sets `OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)`, LLD would previously complain
about your input files being compatible with elf_x86_64, which isn't the
actual issue, and is confusing because the input files are in fact
x86-64 ELF files.
Interestingly enough, this also prevents a segfault! When we don't pass
`-m` and we have an object file which is incompatible with the
`OUTPUT_FORMAT` set by a linker script, the object file is checked for
compatibility before it's added to the objectFiles vector.
config->emulation, objectFiles, and sharedFiles will all be empty, so
we'll attempt to access bitcodeFiles[0], but bitcodeFiles is also empty,
so we'll segfault. This commit prevents the segfault by adding
OUTPUT_FORMAT as a possible source of machine configuration, and it also
adds an llvm_unreachable to diagnose similar issues in the future.

Doing this in lld is particularly convenient as the --reproduce option

The goal of this patch is to maximize CPU utilization on multi-socket or high core count systems, so that parallel computations such as LLD/ThinLTO can use all hardware threads in the system. Before this patch, on Windows, a maximum of 64 hardware threads could be used at most, in some cases dispatched only on one CPU socket.
== Background ==
Windows doesn't have a flat cpu_set_t like Linux. Instead, it projects hardware CPUs (or NUMA nodes) to applications through a concept of "processor groups". A "processor" is the smallest unit of execution on a CPU, that is, an hyper-thread if SMT is active; a core otherwise. There's a limit of 32-bit processors on older 32-bit versions of Windows, which later was raised to 64-processors with 64-bit versions of Windows. This limit comes from the affinity mask, which historically is represented by the sizeof(void*). Consequently, the concept of "processor groups" was introduced for dealing with systems with more than 64 hyper-threads.
By default, the Windows OS assigns only one "processor group" to each starting application, in a round-robin manner. If the application wants to use more processors, it needs to programmatically enable it, by assigning threads to other "processor groups". This also means that affinity cannot cross "processor group" boundaries; one can only specify a "preferred" group on start-up, but the application is free to allocate more groups if it wants to.
This creates a peculiar situation, where newer CPUs like the AMD EPYC 7702P (64-cores, 128-hyperthreads) are projected by the OS as two (2) "processor groups". This means that by default, an application can only use half of the cores. This situation could only get worse in the years to come, as dies with more cores will appear on the market.
== The problem ==
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() API was introduced so that only *one hardware thread per core* was used. Once that API returns, that original intention is lost, only the number of threads is retained. Consider a situation, on Windows, where the system has 2 CPU sockets, 18 cores each, each core having 2 hyper-threads, for a total of 72 hyper-threads. Both heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() and hardware_concurrency() currently return 36, because on Windows they are simply wrappers over std:🧵:hardware_concurrency() -- which can only return processors from the current "processor group".
== The changes in this patch ==
To solve this situation, we capture (and retain) the initial intention until the point of usage, through a new ThreadPoolStrategy class. The number of threads to use is deferred as late as possible, until the moment where the std::threads are created (ThreadPool in the case of ThinLTO).
When using hardware_concurrency(), setting ThreadCount to 0 now means to use all the possible hardware CPU (SMT) threads. Providing a ThreadCount above to the maximum number of threads will have no effect, the maximum will be used instead.
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() is similar to hardware_concurrency(), except that only one thread per hardware *core* will be used.
When LLVM_ENABLE_THREADS is OFF, the threading APIs will always return 1, to ensure any caller loops will be exercised at least once.

This reverts commit 80a34ae311 with fixes.
Previously, since bots turning on EXPENSIVE_CHECKS are essentially turning on
MachineVerifierPass by default on X86 and the fact that
inline-asm-avx-v-constraint-32bit.ll and inline-asm-avx512vl-v-constraint-32bit.ll
are not expected to generate functioning machine code, this would go
down to `report_fatal_error` in MachineVerifierPass. Here passing
`-verify-machineinstrs=0` to make the intent explicit.
This reverts commit 80a34ae311 with fixes.
On bots llvm-clang-x86_64-expensive-checks-ubuntu and
llvm-clang-x86_64-expensive-checks-debian only,
llc returns 0 for these two tests unexpectedly. I tweaked the RUN line a little
bit in the hope that LIT is the culprit since this change is not in the
codepath these tests are testing.

When --strip-debug is specified, .debug* are removed from inputSections
while .rel[a].debug* (incorrectly) remain.
LinkerScript::addOrphanSections() requires the output section of a relocated
InputSectionBase to be created first.
.debug* are not in inputSections ->
output sections .debug* are not created ->
getOutputSectionName(.rel[a].debug*) dereferences a null pointer.
Fix the null pointer dereference by deleting .rel[a].debug* from inputSections as well.

Recommit of 0b4a047bfb
(reverted in c29003813a) to incorporate
subsequent fix and add a warning when LLD's interworking behavior has
changed.
D73474 disabled the generation of interworking thunks for branch
relocations to non STT_FUNC symbols. This patch handles the case of BL and
BLX instructions to non STT_FUNC symbols. LLD would normally look at the
state of the caller and the callee and write a BL if the states are the
same and a BLX if the states are different.
This patch disables BL/BLX substitution when the destination symbol does
not have type STT_FUNC. This brings our behavior in line with GNU ld which
may prevent difficult to diagnose runtime errors when switching to lld.
This change does change how LLD handles interworking of symbols that do not
have type STT_FUNC from previous versions including the 10.0 release. This
brings LLD in line with ld.bfd but there may be programs that have not been
linked with ld.bfd that depend on LLD's previous behavior. We emit a warning
when the behavior changes.
A summary of the difference between 10.0 and 11.0 is that for symbols
that do not have a type of STT_FUNC LLD will not change a BL to a BLX or
vice versa. The table below enumerates the changes
| relocation | STT_FUNC | bit(0) | in | 10.0- out | 11.0+ out |
| R_ARM_CALL | no | 1 | BL | BLX | BL |
| R_ARM_CALL | no | 0 | BLX | BL | BLX |
| R_ARM_THM_CALL | no | 1 | BLX | BL | BLX |
| R_ARM_THM_CALL | no | 0 | BL | BLX | BL |

We do not keep the actual value of the CIE ID field, because it is
predefined, and use a constant when dumping a CIE record. The issue
was that the predefined value is different for .debug_frame and
.eh_frame sections, but we always printed the one which corresponds
to .debug_frame. The patch fixes that by choosing an appropriate
constant to print.
See the following for more information about .eh_frame sections:

Summary:
Even though this test is a check for failure, lld still attempts
to open the final output file, which fails when the default "a.out"
file is used and the current directory is read-only. Specifying an
output file works around this problem.

D43468+D44380 added INSERT [AFTER|BEFORE] for non-orphan sections. This patch
makes INSERT work for orphan sections as well.
`SECTIONS {...} INSERT [AFTER|BEFORE] .foo` does not set `hasSectionCommands`, so the result
will be similar to a regular link without a linker script. The differences when `hasSectionCommands` is set include:
* image base is different
* -z noseparate-code/-z noseparate-loadable-segments are unavailable
* some special symbols such as `_end _etext _edata` are not defined
The behavior is similar to GNU ld:
INSERT is not considered an external linker script.
This feature makes the section layout more flexible. It can be used to:
* Place .nv_fatbin before other readonly SHT_PROGBITS sections to mitigate relocation overflows.
* Disturb the layout to expose address sensitive application bugs.

GNU ld has a counterintuitive lang_propagate_lma_regions rule.
```
// .foo's LMA region is propagated to .bar because their VMA region is the same,
// and .bar does not have an explicit output section address (addr_tree).
.foo : { *(.foo) } >RAM AT> FLASH
.bar : { *(.bar) } >RAM
// An explicit output section address disables propagation.
.foo : { *(.foo) } >RAM AT> FLASH
.bar . : { *(.bar) } >RAM
```
In both cases, lld thinks .foo's LMA region is propagated and
places .bar in the same PT_LOAD, so lld diverges from GNU ld w.r.t. the
second case (lma-align.test).
This patch changes Writer<ELFT>::createPhdrs to disable propagation
(start a new PT_LOAD). A user of the first case can make linker scripts
portable by explicitly specifying `AT>`. By contrast, there was no
workaround for the old behavior.
This change uncovers another LMA related bug in assignOffsets() where
`ctx->lmaOffset = 0;` was omitted. It caused a spurious "load address
range overlaps" error for at2.test
The new PT_LOAD rule is complex. For convenience, I listed the origins of some subexpressions:
* rL323449: `sec->memRegion == load->firstSec->memRegion`; linkerscript/at3.test
* D43284: `load->lastSec == Out::programHeaders` (don't start a new PT_LOAD after program headers); linkerscript/at4.test
* D58892: `sec != relroEnd` (start a new PT_LOAD after PT_GNU_RELRO)

When lmaRegion is non-null, respect `sec->alignment`
This rule is analogous to `switchTo(sec)` which advances sh_addr (VMA).
This fixes the p_paddr misalignment issue as reported by
https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/trusty/external/trusted-firmware-a/+/1230058
Note, `sec->alignment` is the maximum of ALIGN and input section alignments. We may overalign LMA than GNU ld.
linkerscript/align-lma.s has a FIXME that demonstrates another bug:
`.bss ... >RAM` should be placed in a different PT_LOAD (GNU ld
behavior) because its lmaRegion (nullptr) is different from the previous
section's lmaRegion (ROM).

Summary:
GNU objdump prints the file format in lowercase, e.g. `elf64-x86-64`. llvm-objdump prints `ELF64-x86-64` right now, even though piping that into llvm-objcopy refuses that as a valid arch to use.
As an example of a problem this causes, see: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/779

Also remove some test duplication and add a test case that shows the
maximum version is rejected (this also shows that the value in the error
