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).

This is a direct port of the new PE/COFF linker to ELF.
It can take a single object file and generate a valid executable that executes at the first byte in the text section.

None of the implementations replace the SimpleFile with some other file,

This is an initial patch for a section-based COFF linker.
The patch has 2300 lines of code including comments and blank lines.
Before diving into details, you want to start from reading README
because it should give you an overview of the design.
All important things are written in the README file, so I write
summary here.
- The linker is already able to self-link on Windows.
- It's significantly faster than the existing implementation.
The existing one takes 5 seconds to link LLD on my machine,
while the new one only takes 1.2 seconds, even though the new
one is not multi-threaded yet. (And a proof-of-concept multi-
threaded version was able to link it in 0.5 seconds.)
- It uses much less memory (250MB vs. 2GB virtual memory space
to self-host).
- IMHO the new code is much simpler and easier to read than
the existing PE/COFF port.

loadFile could load mulitple files just because yaml has a feature for
putting multiple documents in one file.
Designing a linker around what yaml can do seems like a bad idea to
me. This patch changes it to read a single file.
There are further improvements to be done to the api and they
will follow shortly.

The function took either StringRef or Twine. Since string literals are
ambiguous when resolving the overloading, many code calls used this
function with explicit type conversion. That led awkward code like
make_dynamic_error_code(Twine("Error occurred")).
This patch adds a function definition for string literals, so that
you can directly call the function with literals.

The Native file format was designed to be the fastest on-memory or
on-disk file format for object files. The problem is that no one
is working on that. No LLVM tools can produce object files in
the Native, thus the feature of supporting the format is useless
in the linker.
This patch removes the Native file support. We can add it back
if we really want it in future.

Only MIPS defined the member function, but this feature is not actually
MIPS-specific. Also, the dependency to the MIPS-only member function
prevented us from merging <Arch>ELF{Object,DSO}Reader classes.
This patch moves the feature from MipsLinkingContext to LinkingContext.

What we are doing in ELFTarget.h was dubious. In the file, we define
partial classes of <Arch>LinkingContexts to declare only static member
functions. We have different (complete) class definitions in other files.
They would conflict if they exist in the same compilation unit (because
the ones defined in ELFTarget.h has only static member functions).
I don't think this was valid C++.

This patch provides implementation of R_ARM_TARGET1 relocation with

So user may choose which behaviour of R_ARM_TARGET1 is preferred for his

This patch defines implicit conversion between integers and PowerOf2
instances, so uses of the classes is now implicit and look like
regular integers. Now we are ready to remove the scaffolding.
llvm-svn: 233245
The new constructor's type is the same, but this one takes not a log2
value but an alignment value itself, so the meaning is totally differnet.
llvm-svn: 233244
This patch is to make instantiation and conversion to an integer explicit,
so that we can mechanically replace all occurrences of the class with
integer in the next step.
Now get() returns an alignment value rather than its log2 value.
llvm-svn: 233242
We are using log2 values and values themselves to represent alignments.
For example, alignment 8 is sometimes represented as 3 (8 == 2^3).
We want to stop using log2 values.
Because both types are regular arithmetic types, we cannot get help from
a compiler to find places we mix two representations. That makes this
merging work surprisingly hard because if I make a mistake, I'll just get
wrong results at runtime (Yay types!). In this patch, I introduced
a class to represents power-of-two values, which is basically an alias
for an integer type.
Once the migration is done, the class will be removed.

This commit implements the behaviour of the SECTIONS linker script directive,
used to not only define a custom mapping between input and output sections, but
also order input sections in the output file. To do this, we modify
DefaultLayout with hooks at important places that allow us to re-order input
sections according to a custom order. We also add a hook in SegmentChunk to
allow us to calculate linker script expressions while assigning virtual
addresses to the input sections that live in a segment.
Not all SECTIONS constructs are currently supported, but only the ones that do
not use special sort orders. It adds two LIT test as practical examples of
which sections directives are currently supported.
In terms of high-level changes, it creates a new class "script::Sema" that owns
all linker script ASTs and the logic for linker script semantics as well.
ELFLinkingContext owns a single copy of Sema, which will be used throughout
the object file writing process (to layout sections as proposed by the linker
script).
Other high-level change is that the writer no longer uses a "const" copy of
the linking context. This happens because linker script expressions must be
calculated *while* calculating final virtual addresses, which is a very late
step in object file writing. While calculating these expressions, we need to
update the linker script symbol table (inside the semantics object), and, thus,
we are "modifying our context" as we prepare to write the file.

GNU LD has an option named -T/--script which allows a user to specify

without this option, but the option is widely used. Therefore it is

I converted them to non-range-based loops in r226883 and r226893
because at that moment File::parse() may have side effects and
may update the vector that the reference returned from
LinkingContext::nodes().
Now File::parse() is free from side effects. We can use range-based
loops again.

This reverts commit r228955. Previously files appear in a .drectve

In doParse, we shouldn't do anything that has side effects. That function may be
called speculatively and possibly in parallel.
We called WinLinkDriver::parse from doParse to parse a command line in a .drectve
section. The parse function updates a linking context object, so it has many side
effects. It was not safe to call that function from doParse. beforeLink is a
function for a File object to do something that has side effects. Moving a call
of WinLinkDriver::parse to there.

Previously we have a string -> string map to keep the weak alias

This is mainly for back-compatibility with GNU ld.
Ideally --stats should be a general option in LinkingContext, providing
individual stats for every pass in the linking process.

The round-trip passes were introduced in r193300. The intention of
the change was to make sure that LLD is capable of reading end
writing such file formats.
But that turned out to be yet another over-designed stuff that had
been slowing down everyday development.
The passes ran after the core linker and before the writer. If you
had an additional piece of information that needs to be passed from
front-end to the writer, you had to invent a way to save the data to
YAML/Native. These passes forced us to do that even if that data
was not needed to be represented neither in an object file nor in
an executable/DSO. It doesn't make sense. We don't need these passes.

Use a wrapper function for symbol. Any undefined reference to symbol will be
resolved to "__wrap_symbol". Any undefined reference to "__real_symbol" will be
resolved to symbol.
This can be used to provide a wrapper for a system function. The wrapper
function should be called "__wrap_symbol". If it wishes to call the system
function, it should call "__real_symbol".
Here is a trivial example:
void * __wrap_malloc (size_t c)
{
printf ("malloc called with %zu\n", c);
return __real_malloc (c);
}
If you link other code with this file using --wrap malloc, then all calls
to "malloc" will call the function "__wrap_malloc" instead. The call to
"__real_malloc" in "__wrap_malloc" will call the real "malloc" function.

This adds the LinkingContext parameter to the ELFReader. Previously the flags in
that were needed in the Context was passed to the ELFReader, this made it very
hard to access data structures in the LinkingContext when reading an ELF file.
This change makes the ELFReader more flexible so that required parameters can be
grabbed directly from the LinkingContext.
Future patches make use of the changes.
There is no change in functionality though.

Currently, no one owns script::Parser buffers, but yet ELFLinkingContext gets
updated with StringRef pointers to data inside Parser buffers. Since this buffer
is locally owned inside GnuLdDriver::evalLinkerScript(), as soon as this
function finishes, all pointers in ELFLinkingContext that comes from linker
scripts get invalid. The problem is that we need someone to own linker scripts
data structures and, since ELFLinkingContext transports references to linker
scripts data, we can simply make it also own all linker scripts data.
