When looking for the "all" symbols that are supposed to be exported,
we can't look at the live flag - the symbols we mark as to be
exported will become GC roots even if they aren't yet marked as live.
With this in place, building an LLVM library with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
produces the same set of symbols exported regardless of whether the
--gc-sections flag is specified, both with and without being built
with -ffunction-sections.

This is a different approach from D98993 that should achieve most of the
same benefit. The two changes are:
1. Sort the list of associated child sections by section name
2. Do not consider associated sections to have children themselves
This fixes the main issue, which was that we sometimes considered an
.xdata section to have a child .pdata section. That lead to slow links
and larger binaries (less xdata folding).
Otherwise, this should be NFC: we go back to ignoring .debug/.gljmp and
other metadata sections rather than only looking at pdata/xdata. We
discovered that we do care about other associated sections, like ASan
global registration metadata.
Problem:
On SystemZ we need to open text files in text mode. On Windows, files opened in text mode adds a CRLF '\r\n' which may not be desirable.
Solution:
This patch adds two new flags
- OF_CRLF which indicates that CRLF translation is used.
- OF_TextWithCRLF = OF_Text | OF_CRLF indicates that the file is text and uses CRLF translation.
Developers should now use either the OF_Text or OF_TextWithCRLF for text files and OF_None for binary files. If the developer doesn't want carriage returns on Windows, they should use OF_Text, if they do want carriage returns on Windows, they should use OF_TextWithCRLF.
So this is the behaviour per platform with my patch:
z/OS:
OF_None: open in binary mode
OF_Text : open in text mode
OF_TextWithCRLF: open in text mode
Windows:
OF_None: open file with no carriage return
OF_Text: open file with no carriage return
OF_TextWithCRLF: open file with carriage return
The Major change is in llvm/lib/Support/Windows/Path.inc to only set text mode if the OF_CRLF is set.
```
if (Flags & OF_CRLF)
CrtOpenFlags |= _O_TEXT;
```
These following files are the ones that still use OF_Text which I left unchanged. I modified all these except raw_ostream.cpp in recent patches so I know these were previously in Binary mode on Windows.
./llvm/lib/Support/raw_ostream.cpp
./llvm/lib/TableGen/Main.cpp

The only known reason why ICF should not merge otherwise identical
sections with differing associated sections has to do with exception
handling tables. It's not clear what ICF should do when there are other
kinds of associated sections. In every other case when this has come up,
debug info and CF guard metadata, we have opted to make ICF ignore the
associated sections.
For comparison, ELF doesn't do anything for comdat groups. Instead,
.eh_frame is parsed to figure out if a section has an LSDA, and if so,
ICF is disabled.
Another issue is that the order of associated sections is not defined.
We have had issues in the past (crbug.com/1144476) where changing the
order of the .xdata/.pdata sections in the object file lead to large ICF
slowdowns.
To address these issues, I decided it would be best to explicitly
consider only .pdata and .xdata sections during ICF. This makes it easy
to ignore the object file order, and I think it makes the intention of
the code clearer.
I've also made the children() accessor return an empty list for
associated sections. This mostly only affects ICF and GC. This was the
behavior before I made this a linked list, so the behavior change should
be good. This had positive effects on chrome.dll: more .xdata sections
were merged that previously could not be merged because they were
associated with distinct .pdata sections.

/reproduce: now works correctly with:
- /call-graph-ordering-file:
- /def:
- /natvis:
- /order:
- /pdbstream:
I went through all instances of MemoryBuffer::getFile() and made sure
everything that didn't already do so called takeBuffer().
For natvis, that wasn't possible since DebugInfo/PDB wants to take
owernship of the natvis buffer. For that case, I'm manually adding the
tar file entry.
/natvis: and /pdbstream: is slightly awkward, since createResponseFile()
always adds these flags to the response file but createPDB() (which
ultimately adds the files referenced by the flags) is only called if
/debug is also passed. So when using /natvis: without /debug with
/reproduce:, lld won't warn, but when linking using the response
file from the archive, it won't find the natvis file since it's not
in the tar. This isn't a new issue though, and after this patch things
at least work with using /natvis: _with_ debug with /reproduce:.
(Same for /pdbstream:)

This reverts commit 5b7aef6eb4 and relands
6529d7c5a4.
The ASan error was debugged and determined to be the fault of an invalid
object file input in our test suite, which was fixed by my last change.
LLD's project policy is that it assumes input objects are valid, so I
have added a comment about this assumption to the relocation bounds
check.
This is a pretty classic optimization. Instead of processing symbol
records and copying them to temporary storage, do a first pass to
measure how large the module symbol stream will be, and then copy the
data into place in the PDB file. This requires defering relocation until
much later, which accounts for most of the complexity in this patch.
This patch avoids copying the contents of all live .debug$S sections
into heap memory, which is worth about 20% of private memory usage when
making PDBs. However, this is not an unmitigated performance win,
because it can be faster to read dense, temporary, heap data than it is
to iterate symbol records in object file backed memory a second time.
Results on release chrome.dll:
peak mem: 5164.89MB -> 4072.19MB (-1,092.7MB, -21.2%)
wall-j1: 0m30.844s -> 0m32.094s (slightly slower)
wall-j3: 0m20.968s -> 0m20.312s (slightly faster)
wall-j8: 0m19.062s -> 0m17.672s (meaningfully faster)
I gathered similar numbers for a debug, component build of content.dll
in Chrome, and the performance impact of this change was in the noise.
The memory usage reduction was visible and similar.
Because of the new parallelism in the PDB commit phase, more cores makes
the new approach faster. I'm assuming that most C++ developer machines
these days are at least quad core, so I think this is a win.

Before this patch, when using LLD with /DEBUG:GHASH and MSVC precomp.OBJ files, we had a bunch of:
lld-link: warning: S_[GL]PROC32ID record in blabla.obj refers to PDB item index 0x206ED1 which is not a LF[M]FUNC_ID record
This was caused by LF_FUNC_ID and LF_MFUNC_ID which didn't have correct mapping to the corresponding TPI records. The root issue was that the indexMapStorage was improperly re-assembled in UsePrecompSource::remapTpiWithGHashes.
After this patch, /DEBUG and /DEBUG:GHASH produce exactly the same debug infos in the PDB.

Also sync help texts for the option between elf and coff ports.
Decisions:
- Do this even if /lldignoreenv is passed. /reproduce: does not affect
the main output, and this makes the env var more convenient to use.
(On the other hand, it's now possible to set this env var and forget
about it, and all future builds in the same shell will be much slower.
That's true for ld.lld, but posix shells have an easy way to set an
env var for a single command; in cmd.exe this is not possible without
contortions. Then again, lld-link runs in posix shells too.)

LLD wasn't previously specifying any specific alignment in the TLS table's Characteristics field so the loader would just assume the default value (16 bytes). This works most of the time except if you have thread locals that want specific higher alignments (e.g. 32 as in the bug) *even* if they specify an alignment on the thread local. This change updates LLD to take the max alignment from tls section.
