They are unnecessary, as the dynamic loader can apply the original relocations
directly. This was also resulting in the creation of copy relocations in PIEs.

This simplifies the code by allowing us to remove the visibility argument
to functions that create synthetic symbols.
The only functional change is that the visibility of the MIPS "_gp" symbol
is now hidden. Because this symbol is defined in every executable or DSO, it
would be difficult to observe a visibility change here.

We need to ensure that the address of an undefined weak symbol evaluates to
zero. We were getting this right for non-PIC executables (where the symbol
can be evaluated directly) and for DSOs (where we emit a symbolic relocation
for these symbols, as they are preemptible). But we weren't getting it right
for PIEs. Probably the simplest way to ensure that these symbols evaluate
to zero is by not creating a relocation in .got for them.

With this patch we use the first scan over the relocations to remember
the information we found about them: will them be relaxed, will a plt be
used, etc.
With that the actual relocation application becomes much simpler. That
is particularly true for the interfaces in Target.h.
This unfortunately means that we now do two passes over relocations for
non SHF_ALLOC sections. I think this can be solved by factoring out the
code that scans a single relocation. It can then be used both as a scan
that record info and for a dedicated direct relocation of non SHF_ALLOC
sections.
I also think it is possible to reduce the number of enum values by
representing a target with just an OutputSection and an offset (which
can be from the start or end).
This should unblock adding features like relocation optimizations.
llvm-svn: 266158
The _gp* family of symbols is defined as an offset in .got, and it is
not at all clear what should happen when .got is not defined.
This will allow some simplifications on how these symbols are handled.
llvm-svn: 266063
It is possible that the same symbol referenced by two kinds of
relocations at the same time. The first type requires say GOT entry
creation, the second type requires dynamic copy relocation. For MIPS
targets they might be R_MIPS_GOT16 and R_MIPS_HI16 relocations. For X86
target they might be R_386_GOT32 and R_386_32 respectively.
Now LLD never creates GOT entry for a symbol if this symbol already has
related copy relocation. This patch solves this problem.

Now MustBeInDynSym is only true if the symbol really must be in the
dynamic symbol table.
IsUsedInRegularObj is only true if the symbol is used in a .o or -u. Not
a .so or a .bc.
A benefit is that this is now done almost entirilly during symbol
resolution. The only exception is copy relocations because of aliases.
This includes a small fix in that protected symbols in .so don't force
executable symbols to be exported.
This also opens the way for implementing internalize for -shared.

Previously, we supported only one hash function, FNV-1, so
BuildIdSection directly handled hash computation. In this patch,
I made BuildIdSection an abstract class and defined two subclasses,
BuildIdFnv1 and BuildIdMd5.
llvm-svn: 265737
This requires knowing input section offsets in output sections before
scanRelocs. This is generally a good thing and should allow further
simplifications in the creation of dynamic relocations.
llvm-svn: 265673
We have to differentiate undefined symbols from bitcode and undefined
symbols from other sources.
Undefined symbols from bitcode should not inhibit the symbol being
internalized. Undefined symbols from other sources should.

ELF and program header are not part of OutputSections list anymore.
That helps to avoid having and working with functions like dummySectionsNum().
Still keeping them as sections helps to simplify the code.

Where Clang's AArch64 backend seems to differ from the X86 backend is
that it tends to use the GOT more aggressively.
After getting CloudABI PIEs working on x86-64, I noticed that accessing
global variables would still crash on aarch64. Tracing it down, it turns
out that the GOT was filled with entries assuming the base address was
zero.
It turns out that we skip generating relocations for GOT entries in case
the relocation pointing towards the GOT is relative. Whether the thing
pointing to the GOT is absolute or relative shouldn't make any
difference; the GOT entry itself should contain the absolute address,
thus needs a relocation regardless.

For each copy relocation that we create, look through the DSO's symbol table
for aliases and create a dynamic symbol for each one. This causes the copy
relocation to correctly interpose any aliases.
Copy relocations are relatively uncommon (on my machine, 56% of binaries in
/usr/bin have no copy relocations probably due to being PIEs, 97% of them
have <10, and the binary with the largest number of them has 97) so it's
probably fine to do this in a relatively inefficient way.

Our symbol representation was redundant, and some times would get out of
sync. It had an Elf_Sym, but some fields were copied to SymbolBody.
Different parts of the code were checking the bits in SymbolBody and
others were checking Elf_Sym.
There are two general approaches to fix this:
* Copy the required information and don't store and Elf_Sym.
* Don't copy the information and always use the Elf_Smy.
The second way sounds tempting, but has a big problem: we would have to
template SymbolBody. I started doing it, but it requires templeting
*everything* and creates a bit chicken and egg problem at the driver
where we have to find ELFT before we can create an ArchiveFile for
example.
As much as possible I compared the test differences with what gold and
bfd produce to make sure they are still valid. In most cases we are just
adding hidden visibility to a local symbol, which is harmless.
In most tests this is a small speedup. The only slowdown was scylla
(1.006X). The largest speedup was clang with no --build-id, -O3 or
--gc-sections (i.e.: focus on the relocations): 1.019X.

assignAddressesRelocatable function did not set addresses to sections
despite its name. What it actually did is to set file offsets to sections.
assignAddresses function assigned addresses and file offsets to sections.
So there was a confusion what they were doing, and they had duplicate code.
This patch separates file offset assignments from address assignments.
A new function, assignFileOffsets assign file offsets. assignAddresses
do not care about file offsets anymore.

The extra fix is to note that it still requires copy relocations.
Original message:
Change how we handle R_MIPS_LO16.
Mips aligns PT_LOAD to 16 bits (0x10000). That means that the lower 16
bits are always the same, so we can, effectively, say that the
relocation is relative.
P.S.: Suggestions for a better name for the predicate are welcome :-)
llvm-svn: 265150
That is consistent with other symbols: _edata, _etext
and can help to avoid duplicate code.

Some targets might require creation of thunks. For example, MIPS targets
require stubs to call PIC code from non-PIC one. The patch implements
infrastructure for thunk code creation and provides support for MIPS
LA25 stubs. Any MIPS PIC code function is invoked with its address
in register $t9. So if we have a branch instruction from non-PIC code
to the PIC one we cannot make the jump directly and need to create a small
stub to save the target function address.
See page 3-38 ftp://www.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/mipsabi.pdf
- In relocation scanning phase we ask target about thunk creation necessity
by calling `TagetInfo::needsThunk` method. The `InputSection` class
maintains list of Symbols requires thunk creation.
- Reassigning offsets performed for each input sections after relocation
scanning complete because position of each section might change due
thunk creation.
- The patch introduces new dedicated value for DefinedSynthetic symbols
DefinedSynthetic::SectionEnd. Synthetic symbol with that value always
points to the end of the corresponding output section. That allows to
escape updating synthetic symbols if output sections sizes changes after
relocation scanning due thunk creation.
- In the `InputSection::writeTo` method we write thunks after corresponding
input section. Each thunk is written by calling `TargetInfo::writeThunk` method.
- The patch supports the only type of thunk code for each target. For now,
it is enough.
