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.

The following are the most significant peculiarities of MIPS target:
- MIPS ABI requires some special tags in the dynamic table.
- GOT consists of two parts local and global. The local part contains
entries refer locally visible symbols. The global part contains entries
refer global symbols.
- Entries in the .dynsym section which have corresponded entries in the
GOT should be:
* Emitted at the end of .dynsym section
* Sorted accordingly to theirs GOT counterparts
- There are "paired" relocations. One or more R_MIPS_HI16 and R_MIPS_GOT16
relocations should be followed by R_MIPS_LO16 relocation. To calculate
result of R_MIPS_HI16 and R_MIPS_GOT16 relocations we need to combine
addends from these relocations and paired R_MIPS_LO16 relocation.

This adds functionality to limit shared library undefined atoms to be added
only once by the Resolver.
Dynamic libraries may be processed more than once if they exist within a
Group.
Also adds a test to verify the change.
llvm-svn: 195307
This patch should fix the test when it runs on Windows, by allowing drive
letter separator (colon) in the path. Now all LLD ELF tests passed on MSVC
2012 32-bit. Hooray!
llvm-svn: 193978
On Windows, neither "(" nor ")" are shell special characters, so -\( is passed
as-is to LLD. Because of that this test was failing on Windows.
llvm-svn: 193905
This patch adds "-target x86_64" to the command line. Without this option,
a 32 bit object file would be created on 32 bit machine, resulting in test
failure.
llvm-svn: 193904
Enable this for the following flavors
a) core
b) gnu
c) darwin
Its disabled for the flavor PECOFF. Convenient markers are added with FIXME
comments in the Driver that would be removed and code removed from each flavor.
llvm-svn: 193585
Disable tests to be run with REQUIRES: disable. Note disable is not added to the
config by the test runner Mkaefiles, so essentially disables the test.
Code changes would be required to fix these tests :-

There are aliases for --start-group/--end-group options represented
by -( and -) respectively in the command line.
This change adds and improves the test for the alias options to be
tested.
Looks like users use this option widely than explicitly using
--start-group/--end-group.
llvm-svn: 192470
This associates resolveState to FileNodes. The control node derive
their resolution state from the inputElements that are contained in
it.
This makes --start-group/--end-group to work with ELF linking.
llvm-svn: 192269
Changes :-
a) Functionality in InputGraph to insert Input elements at any position
b) Functionality in the Resolver to use nextFile
c) Move the functionality of assigning file ordinals to InputGraph
d) Changes all inputs to MemoryBuffers
e) Remove LinkerInput, InputFiles, ReaderArchive
llvm-svn: 192081
Found this with asan. Code assumes that find doesn't return end, thus if
both atoms didn't have followon roots it would still compare their positions.
llvm-svn: 191865
This will eventually need to be refactored to better handle COPY relocations,
as other relocations can also generate them. I'm not yet sure the exact
circumstances in which they are needed yet.
llvm-svn: 191567
This adds an option --output-filetype that can be set to either
YAML/Native(case insensitive). The linker would create the outputs
associated with the type specified by the user.
Changes all the tests to use the new option.
llvm-svn: 191183
This also makes it support debugging executables built with lld.
Initial patch done by Bigcheese. This is only a revised patch to
have the functionality in the Writer.
llvm-svn: 191032
This sets the sectionChoice property for DefinedAtoms. The output section name
is derived by the property of the atom. This also decreases native file size.
Adds a test.
llvm-svn: 190840
This handles multiple weak symbols which appear back to back. This fix is needed
which otherwise will lead to symbols getting initialized to arbitrary values.
There was a constructor/destructor test that really triggered this to be fixed
on X86_64.
Adds a test.
