We previously defaulted to x86_64 and an unknown platform, which was fine when
we only supported one arch and did no platform checks, but that will no longer
be true going ahead. Therefore, we should require those flags to be specified
whenever the linker is invoked.
Note that LLD-ELF and ld64 both infer the arch from their input object files,
but the usefulness of that is questionable since clang will always specify these
flags, and most of the time `lld` will be invoked via clang.

Currently, it was delibrately impleneted to not handle this case, but as it has turnt out, we need this feature.
The concrete use case is
`System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa` reexports
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit , which then rexports
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/UIFoundation.framework/Versions/A/UIFoundation
The current implemention uses a global currentTopLevelTapi, which is not reset until it finishes loading the whole tree.
This is a problem because if the top-level is set to Cocoa, then when we get to UIFoundation, it will try to find UIFoundation in the current top level, which is Cocoa and will not find it.
The right thing should be:
- When loading a library from a TBD file, re-exports need to be looked up in the auxiliary documents within the same TBD.
- When loading from an actual dylib, no additional TBD documents need to be examined.
- In no case does a re-export mentioned in one TBD file need to be looked up in a document in an auxiliary document from a different TBD file

In AArch32 ARM, the PC reads two instructions ahead of the currently
executiing instruction. This evaluates to 8 in ARM state and 4 in
Thumb state. Branch instructions on AArch32 compensate for this by
subtracting the PC bias from the addend. For a branch to symbol this
will result in an addend of -8 in ARM state and -4 in Thumb state.
The existing ARM Target::inBranchRange function accounted for this
implict addend within the function meaning that if the addend were
to be taken into account by the caller then it would be double
counted. This complicates the interface for all Targets as callers
wanting to account for addends had to account for the ARM PC-bias.
In certain situations such as:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1305
the PC-bias compensation code didn't match up. In particular
normalizeExistingThunk() didn't put the PC-bias back in as Arm
thunks did not store the addend.
The simplest fix for the problem is to add the PC bias in
normalizeExistingThunk when restoring the addend. However I think
it is worth refactoring the Arm inBranchRange implementation so
that fewer calls to getPCBias are needed for other Targets. I
wasn't able to remove getPCBias completely but hopefully the
Relocations.cpp code is simpler now.
In principle a test could be written to replicate the linux kernel
build failure but I wasn't able to reproduce with a small example
that I could build up from scratch.

A couple of small changes to match the ELF linker in preparation
for adding support string mergings.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D97654
This adds support for `-undefined dynamic_lookup`, and for
`-undefined warning` and `-undefined suppress` with `-flat_namespace`.
We just replace undefined symbols with a DynamicLookup when we hit them.
With this, `check-llvm` passes when using ld64.lld.darwinnew as host linker.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D97642
-flat_namespace makes lld emit binaries that use name lookup that's more in
line with other POSIX systems: Instead of looking up symbols as (dylib,name)
pairs by dyld, they're instead looked up just by name.
-flat_namespace has three effects:
1. MH_TWOLEVEL and MH_NNOUNDEFS are no longer set in the Mach-O header
2. All symbols use BIND_SPECIAL_DYLIB_FLAT_LOOKUP as ordinal
3. When a dylib is added to the link, its dependent dylibs are also added,
so that lld can verify that no undefined symbols remain at the end of
a link with -flat_namespace. These transitive dylibs are added for symbol
resolution, but they are not emitted in LC_LOAD_COMMANDs.
-undefined with -flat_namespace still isn't implemented. Before this change,
it was impossible to hit that combination because -flat_namespace caused a
diagnostic. Now that it no longer does, emit a dedicated temporary diagnostic
when both flags are used.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D97641
For -flat_namespace, lld needs to load dylibs in LC_LOAD_DYLIB.
The current setup meant that libSystem.dylib would cause a LC_LOAD_DYLIB

tests. So just drop the .B.

There was initially some concern around the correct handling of pcrel

Dynamic lookup symbols are symbols that work like dynamic symbols
in ELF: They're not bound to a dylib like normal Mach-O twolevel lookup
symbols, but they live in a global pool and dyld resolves them against
exported symbols from all loaded dylibs.
This adds support for dynamical lookup symbols to lld/mac. They are
represented as DylibSymbols with file set to nullptr.
This also uses this support to implement the -U flag, which makes
a specific symbol that's undefined at the end of the link a
dynamic lookup symbol.
For -U, it'd be sufficient to just to a pass over remaining undefined symbols
at the end of the link and to replace them with dynamic lookup symbols then.
But I'd like to use this code to implement flat_namespace too, and that will
require real support for resolving dynamic lookup symbols in SymbolTable. So
this patch adds this now already.
While writing tests for this, I noticed that we didn't set N_WEAK_DEF in the
symbol table for DylibSymbols, so this fixes that too.

For one metadata section usage, each text section references a metadata section.
The metadata sections have a C identifier name to allow the runtime to collect them via `__start_/__stop_` symbols.
Since `__start_`/`__stop_` references are always present from live sections, the
C identifier name sections appear like GC roots, which means they cannot be
discarded by `ld --gc-sections`.
To make such sections GCable, either SHF_LINK_ORDER or a section group is needed.
SHF_LINK_ORDER is not suitable for the references can be inlined into other functions
(See D97430:
Function A (in the section .text.A) references its `__sancov_guard` section.
Function B inlines A (so now .text.B references `__sancov_guard` - this is invalid with the semantics of SHF_LINK_ORDER).
In the linking stage,
if `.text.A` gets discarded, and `__sancov_guard` is retained via the reference from `.text.B`,
the output will be invalid because `__sancov_guard` references the discarded `.text.A`.
LLD errors "sh_link points to discarded section".
)
A section group have size overhead, and is cumbersome when there is just one metadata section.
Add `-z start-stop-gc` to drop the "__start_/__stop_ references retain
non-SHF_LINK_ORDER non-SHF_GROUP C identifier name sections" rule.
We reserve the rights to switch the default in the future.

When parsing bitcode, convert LTO Symbols to LLD Symbols in order to perform
resolution. The "winning" symbol will then be marked as Prevailing at LTO
compilation time. This is similar to what the other LLD ports do.
This change allows us to handle `linkonce` symbols correctly, and to deal with
duplicate bitcode symbols gracefully. Previously, both scenarios would result in
an assertion failure inside the LTO code, complaining that multiple Prevailing
definitions are not allowed.
While at it, I also added basic logic around visibility. We don't do anything
useful with it yet, but we do check that its value is valid. LLD-ELF appears to
use it only to set FinalDefinitionInLinkageUnit for LTO, which I think is just a
performance optimization.
From my local experimentation, the linker itself doesn't seem to do anything
differently when encountering linkonce / linkonce_odr / weak / weak_odr. So I've
only written a test for one of them. LLD-ELF has more, but they seem to mostly
be testing the intermediate bitcode output of their LTO backend...? I'm far from
an expert here though, so I might very well be missing things.

{D95809} introduced a mechanism for synthetic symbol creation of personality
pointers. When multiple section relocations referred to the same personality
pointer, it would deduplicate them. However, it neglected to consider that we
could have symbol relocations that also refer to the same personality pointer.
This diff fixes it.
In practice, this mix of relocations arises when there is a statically-linked
personality routine that is referenced from multiple object files. Within the
same object file, it will be referred to via section relocations, but
(obviously) other object files will refer to it via symbol relocations. Failing
to deduplicate these references resulted in us going over the
3-personality-pointer limit when linking some larger applications.

I've adjusted the RelocAttrBits to better fit the semantics of
the relocations. In particular:
1. *_UNSIGNED relocations are no longer marked with the `TLV` bit, even
though they can occur within TLV sections. Instead the `TLV` bit is
reserved for relocations that can reference thread-local symbols, and
*_UNSIGNED relocations have their own `UNSIGNED` bit. The previous
implementation caused TLV and regular UNSIGNED semantics to be
conflated, resulting in rebase opcodes being incorrectly emitted for TLV
relocations.
2. I've added a new `POINTER` bit to denote non-relaxable GOT
relocations. This distinction isn't important on x86 -- the GOT
relocations there are either relaxable or non-relaxable loads -- but
arm64 has `GOT_LOAD_PAGE21` which loads the page that the referent
symbol is in (regardless of whether the symbol ends up in the GOT). This
relocation must reference a GOT symbol (so must have the `GOT` bit set)
but isn't itself relaxable (so must not have the `LOAD` bit). The
`POINTER` bit is used for relocations that *must* reference a GOT
slot.
3. A similar situation occurs for TLV relocations.
4. ld64 supports both a pcrel and an absolute version of
ARM64_RELOC_POINTER_TO_GOT. But the semantics of the absolute version
are pretty weird -- it results in the value of the GOT slot being
written, rather than the address. (That means a reference to a
dynamically-bound slot will result in zeroes being written.) The
programs I've tried linking don't use this form of the relocation, so
I've dropped our partial support for it by removing the relevant
RelocAttrBits.

For natvis, that wasn't possible since DebugInfo/PDB wants to take

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

The special root semantics for identifier-named sections is meant
specifically for the metadata sections. In the context of group
semantics, where group members are always retained or discarded as a
unit, it's natural not to have this semantics apply to a section in a
group, otherwise we would never discard the group defeating the purpose
of using the group in the first place.
This change modifies the GC behavior so that __start_/__stop_ references
don't retain C identifier named sections in section groups which allows
for these groups to be collected. This matches the behavior of BFD ld.
The only kind of existing case that might break is interdependent
metadata sections that are all in a group together, but that group
doesn't contain any other sections referenced by anything except
implicit inclusion in a `__start_` and/or `__stop_`-referenced
identifier-named section, but such cases should be unlikely.
