LLD fails to link symbol "_main" if the symbol is in a library file and
the library file is given as a bare argument (i.e. not with /defaultlib
option). It's because library files given as bare arguments are processed
before other libraries given with /defaultlib, so when Linker finds msvcrtd
needs a definition for "_main", the file providing the main function has
already been processed and skipped. Linker don't revisit libraries if it's
not given with /defaultlib.
To fix it this patch change the way of command line handling; files end with
".lib" are treated as if they are given with /defaultlib. I don't believe
it's 100% correct behavior but it's better than before.

This results in some simplifications to the code where an OwningPtr had to
be used with the previous api and then ownership moved to a unique_ptr for
the rest of lld.

Syntactically /SAFESEH is a boolean flag -- you can pass /SAFESEH or /SAFESEH:no.
The meaning of /SAFESEH is as follows.
- If /SAFESEH is specified, the linker will produce an executable with SEH table.
If any input files are not compatible with SEH, it's an error.
- If /SAFESEH:no is specified, the linker will not emit SEH table even if all
input files are compatible with SEH.
- If no option is specified, the linker emits SEH table if all input files are
compatible with SEH.

Refactor the parser so that the parser can return arbitrary type of parse
result other than a vector of ExportDesc. Parsers for non-EXPORTS directives
will be implemented in different patches. No functionality change.

The main goal of this patch is to allow "mach-o encoded as yaml" and "native
encoded as yaml" documents to be intermixed. They are distinguished via
yaml tags at the start of the document. This will enable all mach-o test cases
to be written using yaml instead of checking in object files.
The Registry was extend to allow yaml tag handlers to be registered. The
mach-o Reader adds a yaml tag handler for the tag "!mach-o".
Additionally, this patch fixes some buffer ownership issues. When parsing
mach-o binaries, the mach-o atoms can have pointers back into the memory
mapped .o file. But with yaml encoded mach-o, name and content are ephemeral,
so a copyRefs parameter was added to cause the mach-o atoms to make their
own copy.

Each export symbol descriptor has unique name attribute, so std::set is
better container than std::vector for it. No functionality change.

Default ordinals were assigned in EdataPass, and the assigned values were
then discarded in the pass. No code other than EdataPass would not be able
to get all of the information about ordinals. That's not ideal since I'm
writing code to emit an Import Library file, which also needs ordinals.
This is a patch to move the code to assign default ordinals from EdataPass
to LinkingContext::verify(), so that assigned ordinals will be available
anywhere.
No functionality change.

The main changes are in:
include/lld/Core/Reference.h
include/lld/ReaderWriter/Reader.h
Everything else is details to support the main change.
1) Registration based Readers
Previously, lld had a tangled interdependency with all the Readers. It would
have been impossible to make a streamlined linker (say for a JIT) which
just supported one file format and one architecture (no yaml, no archives, etc).
The old model also required a LinkingContext to read an object file, which
would have made .o inspection tools awkward.
The new model is that there is a global Registry object. You programmatically
register the Readers you want with the registry object. Whenever you need to
read/parse a file, you ask the registry to do it, and the registry tries each
registered reader.
For ease of use with the existing lld code base, there is one Registry
object inside the LinkingContext object.
2) Changing kind value to be a tuple
Beside Readers, the registry also keeps track of the mapping for Reference
Kind values to and from strings. Along with that, this patch also fixes
an ambiguity with the previous Reference::Kind values. The problem was that
we wanted to reuse existing relocation type values as Reference::Kind values.
But then how can the YAML write know how to convert a value to a string? The
fix is to change the 32-bit Reference::Kind into a tuple with an 8-bit namespace
(e.g. ELF, COFFF, etc), an 8-bit architecture (e.g. x86_64, PowerPC, etc), and
a 16-bit value. This tuple system allows conversion to and from strings with
no ambiguities.

/DLLEXPORT is a command line option to export a symbol. __declspec(dllexport)
uses that to make the linker to export DLLExport'ed functions, by adding the
option to .drectve section.
This patch implements the parser of the command line option.
llvm-svn: 197122
/ALTERNATENAME is a rarely-used, undocumented command line option that is
needed to link LLD for release build. It seems that the option is for defining
an weak alias; /alternatename:foo=bar defines weak symbol "foo" for "bar".
If "foo" is defined in an input file, it'll be linked normally and the command
line option will have no effect. If it's not defined, "foo" will be handled
as an alias for "bar".
This patch implements the parser for the option. The actual weak alias handling
will be implemented in a separate patch.
llvm-svn: 196743
Currently we do not de-duplicate library files specified by /defaultlib option.
As a result, the same files are added multiple times to the input graph. In
particular, some popular files, such as kernel32.lib or oldnames.lib, are added
more than 10 times during linking of LLD. That makes the linker slower, as it
needs to parse the same file again and again.
This patch solves the issue by de-duplicating. The same file will be added only
once to the input graph. This patch improved the LLD linking time from 10.5
seconds to 7.7 seconds on my 4-core Core i7 Macbook Pro.

If /functionpadmin is specified, the linker is supposed to make room at the
beginning of each function, so that self-modifying program would easily
hotpatch existing functions. Since I'm not sure if this feature is really used,
I'll make LLD to ignore the option for now.
llvm-svn: 196363
/DEBUG option is to make the linker to emit debug information to the resulting
executable. It's not for enable debugging of the linker itself.
llvm-svn: 196040
/MERGE option is a bit complicated for many reasons. Firstly, it takes both
positive and negative arguments. That means we have to have one of three
distinctive values (set, clear or unchange) for each permission bit. In this
patch we represent the three values using two bitmasks.
Secondly, the permissions specified by the parameter is bitwise or-ed with the
default permissions of a section. There is an exception for that rule; if one
of READ, WRITE or EXECUTE bit is specified, unspecified bits need to be
cleared. (So if you specify only WRITE for example, the resulting section will
not have WRITE nor EXECUTE bits.)
Lastly, multiple /merge options are allowed.
