These are emitted for comm symbols in object files, when targeting
a GNU environment.
Alternatively, just ignore them since we already align CommonChunk
to the natural size of the content (up to 32 bytes). That would only
trade away the possibility to overalign small symbols, which doesn't
sound like something that might not need to be handled?

Summary:
In order to do this without switching on the symbol kind multiple times,
I created Defined::getChunkAndOffset and use that instead of
SymbolBody::getRVA in the inner relocation loop.
Now we get the symbol's chunk before switching over relocation types, so
we can test if it has been discarded outside the inner relocation type
switch. This also simplifies application of section relative
relocations. Previously we would switch on symbol kind to compute the
RVA, then the relocation type, and then the symbol kind again to get the
output section so we could subtract that from the symbol RVA. Now we
*always* have an OutputSection, so applying SECREL and SECTION
relocations isn't as much of a special case.
I'm still not quite happy with the cleanliness of this code. I'm not
sure what offsets and bases we should be using during the relocation
processing loop: VA, RVA, or OutputSectionOffset.

Summary:
The main change is that we can have SECREL and SECTION relocations
against ___safe_se_handler_table, which is important for handling the
debug info in the MSVCRT.
Previously we were using DefinedRelative for __safe_se_handler_table and
__ImageBase, and after we implement CFGuard, we plan to extend it to
handle __guard_fids_table, __guard_longjmp_table, and more. However,
DefinedRelative is really only suitable for implementing __ImageBase,
because it lacks a Chunk, which you need in order to figure out the
output section index and output section offset when resolving SECREl and
SECTION relocations.
This change renames DefinedRelative to DefinedSynthetic and gives it a
Chunk. One wart is that __ImageBase doesn't have a chunk. It points to
the PE header, effectively. We could split DefinedRelative and
DefinedSynthetic if we think that's cleaner and creates fewer special
cases.
I also added safeseh.s, which checks that we don't emit a safe seh table
entries pointing to garbage collected handlers and that we don't emit a
table at all when there are no handlers.

Summary:
For SECTION relocations against absolute symbols, MSVC emits the largest
output section index plus one. I've implemented that by threading a
global variable through DefinedAbsolute that is filled in by the Writer.
A more library-oriented approach would be to thread the Writer through
Chunk::writeTo and SectionChunk::applyRel*, but Rui seems to prefer
doing it this way.
MSVC rejects SECREL relocations against absolute symbols, but only when
the relocation is in a real output section. When the relocation is in a
CodeView debug info section destined for the PDB, it seems that this
relocation error is suppressed, and absolute symbols become zeros in the
object file. This is easily implemented by checking the input section
from which we're applying relocations.
This should fix errors about __safe_se_handler_table and
__guard_fids_table when linking the CRT and generating a PDB.

This is a different implementation than r303225 (which was reverted
in r303270, re-submitted in r303304 and then re-reverted in r303527).
In the previous patch, I tried to add Live bit to each dllimported
symbol. It turned out that it didn't work with "oldnames.lib" which
contains a lot of weak aliases to dllimported symbols.
The way we handle weak aliases is to check if undefined symbols
can be resolved using weak aliases, and if so, memcpy the Defined
symbols to weak Undefined symbols, so that any references to weak
aliases automatically see defined symbols instead of undefined ones.
This memcpy happens before MarkLive kicks in.
That means we may have multiple copies of dllimported symbols. So
turning on one instance's Live bit is not enough.
This patch moves the Live bit to dllimport file. Since multiple
copies of dllsymbols still point to the same file, we can use it as the
central repository to keep track of liveness.

Profiling revealed that the majority of lld's execution time on Windows was
spent opening and mapping input files. We can reduce this cost significantly
by performing these operations asynchronously.
This change introduces a queue for all operations on input file data. When
we discover that we need to load a file (for example, when we find a lazy
archive for an undefined symbol, or when we read a linker directive to
load a file from disk), the file operation is launched using a future and
the symbol resolution operation is enqueued. This implies another change
to symbol resolution semantics, but it seems to be harmless ("ninja All"
in Chromium still succeeds).
To measure the perf impact of this change I linked Chromium's chrome_child.dll
with both thin and fat archives.
Thin archives:
Before (median of 5 runs): 19.50s
After: 10.93s
Fat archives:
Before: 12.00s
After: 9.90s
On Linux I found that doing this asynchronously had a negative effect on
performance, probably because the cost of mapping a file is small enough that
it becomes outweighed by the cost of managing the futures. So on non-Windows
platforms I use the deferred execution strategy.

toString() so that we don't need to memorize all these different

Basically the concept of "liveness" is for sections (or chunks in LLD
terminology) and not for symbols. Symbols are always available or live,
or otherwise it indicates a link failure.
Previously, we had isLive() and markLive() methods for DefinedSymbol.
They are confusing methods. What they actually did is to act as a proxy
to backing section chunks. We can simplify eliminate these methods
and call section chunk's methods directly.

This has a few advantages
* Less C++ code (about 300 lines less).
* Less machine code (about 14 KB of text on a linux x86_64 build).
* It is more debugger friendly. Just set a breakpoint on the exit function and
you get the complete lld stack trace of when the error was found.
* It is a more robust API. The errors are handled early and we don't get a
std::error_code hot potato being passed around.
* In most cases the error function in a better position to print diagnostics
(it has more context).

SECREL should sets the 32-bit offset of the target from the beginning

index. This patch fixes that issue too.

An object file compatible with Safe SEH contains a .sxdata section.
The section contains a list of symbol table indices, each of which
is an exception handler function. A safe SEH-enabled executable
contains a list of exception handler RVAs. So, what the linker has
to do to support Safe SEH is basically to read the .sxdata section,
interpret the contents as a list of symbol indices, unique-fy and
sort their RVAs, and then emit that list to .rdata. This patch
implements that feature.
llvm-svn: 243182
__ImageBase is a special symbol whose value is the image base address.
Previously, we handled __ImageBase symbol as an absolute symbol.
Absolute symbols point to specific locations in memory and the locations
never change even if an image is base-relocated. That means that we
don't have base relocation entries for absolute symbols.
This is not a case for __ImageBase. If an image is base-relocated, its
base address changes, and __ImageBase needs to be shifted as well.
So we have to have base relocations for __ImageBase. That means that
__ImageBase is not really an absolute symbol but a different kind of
symbol.
In this patch, I introduced a new type of symbol -- DefinedRelative.
DefinedRelative is similar to DefinedAbsolute, but it has not a VA but RVA
and is a subject of base relocation. Currently only __ImageBase is of
the new symbol type.

In the new design, mutation of Symbol pointers is the name resolution

dyn_cast<> doesn't recognize atomic pointers as pointers,
so we need to call load(). This is unfortunate, but in other places
automatic type conversion works fine.

We were previously hitting assertion failures in the writer in cases where
a regular object file defined a weak external symbol that was defined by
a bitcode file. Because /export and /entry name mangling were implemented
using weak externals, the same problem affected mangled symbol names in
bitcode files.
The underlying cause of the problem was that weak external symbols were
being resolved before doing LTO, so the symbol table may have contained stale
references to bitcode symbols. The fix here is to defer weak external symbol
resolution until after LTO.
Also implement support for weak external symbols in bitcode files
by modelling them as replaceable DefinedBitcode symbols.

Previously, SymbolBody::compare(A, B) didn't satisfy weak ordering.
There was a case that A < B and B < A could have been true.
This is because we just pick LHS if A and B are consisdered equivalent.
This patch is to make symbols being weakly ordered. If A and B are
not tie, one of A < B && B > A or A > B && B < A is true.
This is not an improtant property for a single-threaded environment
because everything is deterministic anyways. However, in a multi-
threaded environment, this property becomes important.
If a symbol is defined or lazy, ties are resolved by its file index.
For simple types that we don't really care about their identities,
symbols are compared by their addresses.

Previously, we use SymbolTable::rename to resolve AlternateName symbols.
This patch is to merge that mechanism with weak aliases, so that we

Previously, the order of adding symbols to the symbol table was simple.
We have a list of all input files. We read each file from beginning of
the list and add all symbols in it to the symbol table.
This patch changes that order. Now all archive files are added to the
symbol table first, and then all the other object files are added.
This shouldn't change the behavior in single-threading, and make room
to parallelize in multi-threading.
In the first step, only lazy symbols are added to the symbol table
because archives contain only Lazy symbols. Member object files
found to be necessary are queued. In the second step, defined and
undefined symbols are added from object files. Adding an undefined
symbol to the symbol table may cause more member files to be added
to the queue. We simply continue reading all object files until the
queue is empty.
Finally, new archive or object files may be added to the queues by
object files' directive sections (which contain new command line
options).
The above process is repeated until we get no new files.
Symbols defined both in object files and in archives can make results
undeterministic. If an archive is read before an object, a new member
file gets linked, while in the other way, no new file would be added.
That is the most popular cause of an undeterministic result or linking
failure as I observed. Separating phases of adding lazy symbols and
undefined symbols makes that deterministic. Adding symbols in each
phase should be parallelizable.
