DSO is short for dynamic shared object, so the function name was a
little confusing because it sounded like it didn't work when we were
a creating statically-linked executable or something.
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.

The Android relocation packing format is a more compact
format for dynamic relocations in executables and DSOs
that is based on delta encoding and SLEBs. An overview
of the format can be found in the Android source code:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/refs/heads/master/tools/relocation_packer/src/delta_encoder.h
This patch implements relocation packing using that format.
This implementation uses a more intelligent algorithm for compressing
relative relocations than Android's own relocation packer. As a
result it can generally create smaller relocation sections than
that packer. If I link Chromium for Android targeting ARM32 I get a
.rel.dyn of size 174693 bytes, as compared to 371832 bytes with gold
and the Android packer.

When an OutputSection is larger than the branch range for a Target we
need to place thunks such that they are always in range of their caller,
and sufficiently spaced to maximise the number of callers that can use
the thunk. We use the simple heuristic of placing the
ThunkSection at intervals corresponding to a target specific branch range.
If the OutputSection is small we put the thunks at the end of the executable
sections.

Previously, EhFrameSection pushes data to EhFrameHdr by calling addFde
function. By making EhFrameHdr pull data from EhFrameSection, we can
eliminate a member from EhFrameHdr.
llvm-svn: 316730
When LLD do ICF for 2 identical sections it leaves 2 duplicate entries in .eh_frame
pointing to the same address. After that it fixes .eh_frame_header's header,
so that it says it contains single FDE, though section itself contains 2
(it contains garbage data at tail).
As a result excessive entries in .eh_frame and excessive dummy data in .eh_frame_header
emited to output. Patch fixes that. This is PR34518.

Summary:
The COFF linker and the ELF linker have long had similar but separate
Error.h and Error.cpp files to implement error handling. This change
introduces new error handling code in Common/ErrorHandler.h, changes the
COFF and ELF linkers to use it, and removes the old, separate
implementations.

By assuming that mergeable input sections are smaller than 4 GiB,
lld's memory usage when linking clang with debug info drops from
2.788 GiB to 2.019 GiB (measured by valgrind, and that does not include
memory space for mmap'ed files). I think that's a reasonable assumption
given such a large RAM savings, so this patch.
According to valgrind, gold needs 3.54 GiB of RAM to do the same thing.
NB: This patch does not introduce a limitation on the size of
output sections. You can still create sections larger than 4 GiB.

The original patch was reported to break a libcxx bot. Unfortunately I
could not reproduce the issue and the bot log is not available anymore.
This patch changes the handling of shared symbols. I will watch the
bot and see it breaks.
Original message:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Handle shared and lazy symbol in the gnu hash construction.
We were not considering those symbols undefined and they could end up
in the end of the dynamic symbol table.

It doesn't make sense to link from an alloc section to a non alloc
one as we were doing.
This matches the behavior of both gold and bfd.
llvm-svn: 315584
"Commands" was ambiguous because in the linker script, everything is
a command. We used to handle only SECTIONS commands, and at the time,
it might make sense to call them the commands, but it is no longer
the case. We handle not only SECTIONS but also MEMORY, PHDRS, VERSION,
etc., and they are all commands.

The condition whether a section is alive or not by default
is becoming increasingly complex, so the decision of garbage
collection is spreading over InputSection.h and MarkLive.cpp,
which is not a good state.
This moves the code to MarkLive.cpp, to keep the file the central
place to make decisions about garbage collection.

When parsing linker scripts, LLD previously started with a '.' value of 0,
regardless of the internal default image base for the target, and regardless of
switches such as --image-base. It seems reasonable to use a different image base
value when using linker scripts and --image-base is specified, since otherwise the
switch has no effect. This change does this, as well as removing unnecessary
initialisation of Dot where it is not used.
The default image base should not be used when processing linker
scripts, because this will change the behaviour for existing linker script users,
and potentially result in invalid output being produced, as a subsequent assignment
to Dot could move the location counter backwards. Instead, we maintain the existing
behaviour of starting from 0 if --image-base is not specified.

LLD produces broken .dynamic section when --no-rosegment and at least
one of following options is present:
1) -z rodynamic is given.
2) MIPS target.
That happens because code that writes .dynamic assumes target buffer
is zero-filled, what can be not true after LLD fills it with trap
instructions. With one of two options above, .dynamic becomes
SHF_ALLOC section, so can be affected.

We produce broken output currently.
Code that writes .dynsym assumes output buffer is zero-filled,
though that is not always true. When --no-rosegment is given,
buffer can be filled with trap instructions. Patch fixes the issue.
It is relative with PR34705.

When reporting a symbol conflict, LLD parses the debug info to report
source location information. Sections have not been decompressed at this
point, so if an object file contains zlib compressed debug info, LLD
ends up passing this compressed debug info to the DWARF parser, which
causes debug info parsing failures and can trigger assertions in the
parser (as the test case demonstrates).
Decompress debug sections when constructing the LLDDwarfObj to avoid
this issue. This doesn't handle GNU-style compressed debug info sections
(.zdebug_*), which at present are simply ignored by LLDDwarfObj; those
can be done in a follow-up.

The issue with std:🧵:hardware_concurrency is that it forwards
to libc and some implementations (like glibc) don't take thread
affinity into consideration.
With this change a llvm program that can execute in only 2 cores will
use 2 threads, even if the machine has 32 cores.
This makes benchmarking a lot easier, but should also help if someone
doesn't want to use all cores for compilation for example.

Currently LLD calls the `isMicroMips` routine to determine type of PLT entries
needs to be generated: regular or microMIPS. This routine checks ELF
header flags in the `FirstObj` to retrieve type of linked object files.
So if the first file does not contain microMIPS code, LLD will generate
PLT entries with regular (non-microMIPS) code only.
Ideally, if a PLT entry is referenced by microMIPS code only this entry
should contain microMIPS code, if a PLT entry is referenced by regular
code this entry should contain regular code. In a "mixed" case the PLT
entry can be either microMIPS or regular, but each "cross-mode-call" has
additional cost.
It's rather difficult to implement this ideal solution. But we can
assume that if there is an input object file with microMIPS code, the
most part of the code is microMIPS too. So we need to deduce type of PLT
entries based on finally calculated ELF header flags and do not check
only the first input object file.
This change implements this.
- The `getMipsEFlags` renamed to the `calcMipsEFlags`. The function
called from the `LinkerDriver::link`. Result is stored in
the Configuration::MipsEFlags field.
- The `isMicroMips` and `isMipsR6` routines access the `MipsEFlags`
field to get and check calculated ELF flags.
- New types of PLT records created when necessary.
