A hasWildcard pattern iterates over symVector, which can be slow when there
are many --export-dynamic-symbol. In optimistic cases, most patterns don't use
a wildcard character. hasWildcard: false can avoid a symbol table iteration.
While here, add two tests using `[` and `?`, respectively.
This change introduces an LLD switch --thinlto-single-module to allow compiling only a part of the input modules. This is specifically enables:
1. Fast investigating/debugging modules of interest without spending time on compiling unrelated modules.
2. Compiler debug dump with -mllvm -debug-only= for specific modules.
It will be useful for large applications which has 1K+ input modules for thinLTO.
The switch can be combined with `--lto-obj-path=` or `--lto-emit-asm` to obtain intermediate object files or assembly files. So far the module name matching is implemented as a fuzzy name lookup where the modules with name containing the switch value are compiled.
E.g,
Command:
ld.lld main.o thin.a --thinlto-single-module=thin.a --lto-obj-path=single.o
log:

After D79300, we don't rewrite InputFile::mb to an empty buffer.
In thinLTOCreateEmptyIndexFiles(), we should check LazyObjFile::fetched
as well as checking whether mb is a bitcode, otherwise we would overwrite (path + .thinlto.bc) with an empty index.
Fixes PR45594.
In `ObjFile<ELFT>::initializeSymbols()`, for a defined symbol relative to
a discarded section (due to section group rules), it may have been
inserted as a lazy symbol. We need to demote it to an Undefined to
enable the `discarded section` error happened in a later pass.
Add `LazyObjFile::fetched` (if true) and `ArchiveFile::parsed` (if
false) to represent that there is an ongoing lazy symbol fetch and we
should replace the current lazy symbol with an Undefined, instead of
calling `Symbol::resolve` (`Symbol::resolve` should be called if the lazy
symbol was added by an unrelated archive/lazy object).
As a side result, one small issue in start-lib-comdat.s is now fixed.
The hack motivating D51892 will be unsupported: if
`.gnu.linkonce.t.__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx` in an archive is referenced
by another section, this will likely be errored unless the function is
also defined in a regular object file.
(Bringing back rL330869 would error `undefined symbol` instead of the
more relevant `discarded section`.)
Note, glibc i386's crti.o still works (PR31215), because
`.gnu.linkonce.t.__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx` is in crti.o (one of the first
regular object files in a linker command line).

LLD supports both REL and RELA for static relocations, but emits either
of REL and RELA for dynamic relocations. The relocation entry format is
specified by each psABI.
musl ld.so supports both REL and RELA. For such ld.so implementations,
REL (.rel.dyn .rel.plt) has size benefits even if the psABI chooses RELA:
sizeof(Elf64_Rel)=16 < sizeof(Elf64_Rela)=24.
* COPY, GLOB_DAT and J[U]MP_SLOT always have 0 addend. A ld.so
implementation does not need to read the implicit addend.
REL is strictly better.
* A RELATIVE has a non-zero addend. Such relocations can be packed
compactly with the RELR relocation entry format, which is out of scope
of this patch.
* For other dynamic relocation types (e.g. symbolic relocation R_X86_64_64),
a ld.so implementation needs to read the implicit addend. REL may have
minor performance impact, because reading implicit addends forces
random access reads instead of being able to blast out a bunch of
writes while chasing the relocation array.
This patch adds -z rel and -z rela to change the relocation entry format
for dynamic relocations. I have tested that a -z rel produced x86-64
executable works with musl ld.so
-z rela may be useful for debugging purposes on processors whose psABIs
specify REL as the canonical format: addends can be easily read by a tool.

Save and Restore Functions defines some special functions which may be

Some changed options are also used by gold, but I haven't seen their
one-dash use cases outside of lld's testsuite.
Both the .ARM.exidx and .eh_frame sections have a custom SyntheticSection
that acts as a container for the InputSections. The InputSections are added
to the SyntheticSection prior to /DISCARD/ which limits the affect a
/DISCARD/ can have to the whole SyntheticSection. In the majority of cases
this is sufficient as it is not common to discard subsets of the
InputSections. The Linux kernel has one of these scripts which has something
like:
/DISCARD/ : { *(.ARM.exidx.exit.text) *(.ARM.extab.exit.text) ... }
The .ARM.exidx.exit.text are not discarded because the InputSection has been
transferred to the Synthetic Section. The *(.ARM.extab.exit.text) sections
have not so they are discarded. When we come to write out the .ARM.exidx
sections the dangling references from .ARM.exidx.exit.text to
.ARM.extab.exit.text currently cause relocation out of range errors, but
could as easily cause a fatal error message if we check for dangling
references at relocation time.
This patch attempts to respect the /DISCARD/ command by running it on the
.ARM.exidx InputSections stored in the SyntheticSection.
The .eh_frame is in theory affected by this problem, but I don't think that
there is a dangling reference problem that can happen with these sections.

- Move algorithms from llvm::parallel:: to llvm::, since they have

- Add range overloads
- Use the sequential algorithm directly when 1 thread is requested
(skips task grouping)
- Fix the index type of parallelForEachN to size_t. Nobody in LLVM was

To facilitate deployment of --warn-backrefs, add --warn-backrefs-exclude= so that
certain known issues (which may be impractical to fix) can be whitelisted.
Deliberate choices:
* Not a comma-separated list (`--warn-backrefs-exclude=liba.a,libb.a`).
-Wl, splits the argument at commas, so we cannot use commas.
--export-dynamic-symbol is similar.
* Not in the style of `--warn-backrefs='*' --warn-backrefs=-liba.a`.
We just need exclusion, not inclusion. For easier build system
integration, we should avoid order dependency. With the current

For the record, GNU ld changed to 64k max page size in 2014

"[RFC] ld/ARM: Increase maximum page size to 64kB"
Android driver forced 4k page size in AArch64 (D55029) and ARM (D77746).
A binary linked with max-page-size=4096 does not run on a system with a
higher page size configured. There are some systems out there that do
this and it leads to the binary getting `Killed!` by the kernel.
In the non-linker-script cases, when linked with -z noseparate-code
(default), the max-page-size increase should not cause any size
difference. There may be some VMA usage differences, though.

The R_ARM_ALU_PC_G0 and R_ARM_LDR_PC_G0 relocations are used by the
ADR and LDR pseudo instructions, and are the basis of the group
relocations that can load an arbitrary constant via a series of add, sub
and ldr instructions.
The relocations need to be obtained via the .reloc directive.
R_ARM_ALU_PC_G0 is much more complicated as the add/sub instruction uses
a modified immediate encoding of an 8-bit immediate rotated right by an
even 4-bit field. This means that the range of representable immediates
is sparse. We extract the encoding and decoding functions for the modified
immediate from llvm/lib/Target/ARM/MCTargetDesc/ARMAddressingModes.h as
this header file is not accessible from LLD. Duplication of code isn't
ideal, but as these are well-defined mathematical functions they are

This is an alternative design to D77512.
D45195 added --warn-backrefs to detect
* A. certain input orders which GNU ld either errors ("undefined reference")
or has different resolution semantics
* B. (byproduct) some latent multiple definition problems (-ldef1 -lref -ldef2) which I
call "linking sandwich problems". def2 may or may not be the same as def1.
When an archive appears more than once (-ldef -lref -ldef), lld and GNU
ld may have the same resolution but --warn-backrefs may warn. This is
not uncommon. For example, currently lld itself has such a problem:
```
liblldCommon.a liblldCOFF.a ... liblldCommon.a
_ZN3lld10DWARFCache13getDILineInfoEmm in liblldCOFF.a refers to liblldCommon.a(DWARF.cpp.o)
libLLVMSupport.a also appears twice and has a similar warning
```
glibc has such problems. It is somewhat destined because of its separate
libc/libpthread/... and arbitrary grouping. The situation is getting
improved over time but I have seen:
```
-lc __isnanl references -lm
-lc _IO_funlockfile references -lpthread
```
There are also various issues in interaction with other runtime
libraries such as libgcc_eh and libunwind:
```
-lc __gcc_personality_v0 references -lgcc_eh
-lpthread __gcc_personality_v0 references -lgcc_eh
-lpthread _Unwind_GetCFA references -lunwind
```
These problems are actually benign. We want --warn-backrefs to focus on
its main task A and defer task B (which is also useful) to a more
specific future feature (see gold --detect-odr-violations and
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43110).
Instead of warning immediately, we store the message and only report it
if no subsequent lazy definition exists.

This patch adds lld support for basic block sections and performs relaxations
after the basic blocks have been reordered.
After the linker has reordered the basic block sections according to the
desired sequence, it runs a relaxation pass to optimize jump instructions.
Currently, the compiler emits the long form of all jump instructions. AMD64 ISA
supports variants of jump instructions with one byte offset or a four byte
offset. The compiler generates jump instructions with R_X86_64 32-bit PC
relative relocations. We would like to use a new relocation type for these jump
instructions as it makes it easy and accurate while relaxing these instructions.
The relaxation pass does two things:
First, it deletes all explicit fall-through direct jump instructions between
adjacent basic blocks. This is done by discarding the tail of the basic block
section.
Second, If there are consecutive jump instructions, it checks if the first
conditional jump can be inverted to convert the second into a fall through and
delete the second.
The jump instructions are relaxed by using jump instruction mods, something
like relocations. These are used to modify the opcode of the jump instruction.
Jump instruction mods contain three values, instruction offset, jump type and
size. While writing this jump instruction out to the final binary, the linker
uses the jump instruction mod to determine the opcode and the size of the
modified jump instruction. These mods are required because the input object
files are memory-mapped without write permissions and directly modifying the
object files requires copying these sections. Copying a large number of basic
block sections significantly bloats memory.

.init_array :
{
PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__init_array_start = .);
KEEP (*(.init_array))
PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__init_array_end = .);
}
The C-library will take references to the _start and _end symbols to
process the array. This will make LLD keep the OutputSection even if there
are no .init_array sections. As the current check for RELRO uses the
section type for .init_array the above example with no .init_array
InputSections fails the checks as there are no .init_array sections to give
the OutputSection a type of SHT_INIT_ARRAY. This often leads to a

Currently, `error: incompatible section flags for .rodata` is reported
when we mix SHF_LINK_ORDER and non-SHF_LINK_ORDER sections in an output section.
This is overconstrained. This patch allows mixed flags with the
requirement that SHF_LINK_ORDER sections must be contiguous. Mixing
flags is used by Linux aarch64 (https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/953)
.init.data : { ... KEEP(*(__patchable_function_entries)) ... }
When the integrated assembler is enabled, clang's -fpatchable-function-entry=N[,M]
implementation sets the SHF_LINK_ORDER flag (D72215) to fix a number of
garbage collection issues.
Strictly speaking, the ELF specification does not require contiguous
SHF_LINK_ORDER sections but for many current uses of SHF_LINK_ORDER like
.ARM.exidx/__patchable_function_entries there has been a requirement for
the sections to be contiguous on top of the requirements of the ELF
specification.
This patch also imposes one restriction: SHF_LINK_ORDER sections cannot
be separated by a symbol assignment or a BYTE command. Not allowing BYTE
is a natural extension that a non-SHF_LINK_ORDER cannot be a separator.
Symbol assignments can delimiter the contents of SHF_LINK_ORDER
sections. Allowing SHF_LINK_ORDER sections across symbol assignments
(especially __start_/__stop_) can make things hard to explain. The
restriction should not be a problem for practical use cases.

Before this patch, it wasn't possible to extend the ThinLTO threads to all SMT/CMT threads in the system. Only one thread per core was allowed, instructed by usage of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() in the ThinLTO code. Any number passed to the LLD flag /opt:lldltojobs=..., or any other ThinLTO-specific flag, was previously interpreted in the context of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency(), which means SMT disabled.
One can now say in LLD:
/opt:lldltojobs=0 -- Use one std::thread / hardware core in the system (no SMT). Default value if flag not specified.
/opt:lldltojobs=N -- Limit usage to N threads, regardless of usage of heavyweight_hardware_concurrency().
/opt:lldltojobs=all -- Use all hardware threads in the system. Equivalent to /opt:lldltojobs=$(nproc) on Linux and /opt:lldltojobs=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% on Windows. When an affinity mask is set for the process, threads will be created only for the cores selected by the mask.
When N > number-of-hardware-threads-in-the-system, the threads in the thread pool will be dispatched equally on all CPU sockets (tested only on Windows).

Any OUTPUT_FORMAT in a linker script overrides the emulation passed on
the command line, so record the passed bfdname and use that in the error
message about incompatible input files.
This prevents confusing error messages. For example, if you explicitly
pass `-m elf_x86_64` to LLD but accidentally include a linker script
which sets `OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)`, LLD would previously complain
about your input files being compatible with elf_x86_64, which isn't the
actual issue, and is confusing because the input files are in fact
x86-64 ELF files.
Interestingly enough, this also prevents a segfault! When we don't pass
`-m` and we have an object file which is incompatible with the
`OUTPUT_FORMAT` set by a linker script, the object file is checked for
compatibility before it's added to the objectFiles vector.
config->emulation, objectFiles, and sharedFiles will all be empty, so
we'll attempt to access bitcodeFiles[0], but bitcodeFiles is also empty,
so we'll segfault. This commit prevents the segfault by adding
OUTPUT_FORMAT as a possible source of machine configuration, and it also

The R_ARM_THM_PC8 has a special encoding convention for the relocation

idea is inspired by the paper "Producing Wrong Data Without Doing
Anything Obviously Wrong!"
(https://www.inf.usi.ch/faculty/hauswirth/publications/asplos09.pdf). Unlike
the paper, we shuffle individual sections, not just input files.
Doing this in lld is particularly convenient as the --reproduce option
makes it easy to collect all the necessary bits for relinking the
program being benchmarked. Once that it is done, all that is needed is
to add --shuffle-sections=0 to the response file and relink before each
run of the benchmark.

The goal of this patch is to maximize CPU utilization on multi-socket or high core count systems, so that parallel computations such as LLD/ThinLTO can use all hardware threads in the system. Before this patch, on Windows, a maximum of 64 hardware threads could be used at most, in some cases dispatched only on one CPU socket.
== Background ==
Windows doesn't have a flat cpu_set_t like Linux. Instead, it projects hardware CPUs (or NUMA nodes) to applications through a concept of "processor groups". A "processor" is the smallest unit of execution on a CPU, that is, an hyper-thread if SMT is active; a core otherwise. There's a limit of 32-bit processors on older 32-bit versions of Windows, which later was raised to 64-processors with 64-bit versions of Windows. This limit comes from the affinity mask, which historically is represented by the sizeof(void*). Consequently, the concept of "processor groups" was introduced for dealing with systems with more than 64 hyper-threads.
By default, the Windows OS assigns only one "processor group" to each starting application, in a round-robin manner. If the application wants to use more processors, it needs to programmatically enable it, by assigning threads to other "processor groups". This also means that affinity cannot cross "processor group" boundaries; one can only specify a "preferred" group on start-up, but the application is free to allocate more groups if it wants to.
This creates a peculiar situation, where newer CPUs like the AMD EPYC 7702P (64-cores, 128-hyperthreads) are projected by the OS as two (2) "processor groups". This means that by default, an application can only use half of the cores. This situation could only get worse in the years to come, as dies with more cores will appear on the market.
== The problem ==
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() API was introduced so that only *one hardware thread per core* was used. Once that API returns, that original intention is lost, only the number of threads is retained. Consider a situation, on Windows, where the system has 2 CPU sockets, 18 cores each, each core having 2 hyper-threads, for a total of 72 hyper-threads. Both heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() and hardware_concurrency() currently return 36, because on Windows they are simply wrappers over std:🧵:hardware_concurrency() -- which can only return processors from the current "processor group".
== The changes in this patch ==
To solve this situation, we capture (and retain) the initial intention until the point of usage, through a new ThreadPoolStrategy class. The number of threads to use is deferred as late as possible, until the moment where the std::threads are created (ThreadPool in the case of ThinLTO).
When using hardware_concurrency(), setting ThreadCount to 0 now means to use all the possible hardware CPU (SMT) threads. Providing a ThreadCount above to the maximum number of threads will have no effect, the maximum will be used instead.
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() is similar to hardware_concurrency(), except that only one thread per hardware *core* will be used.
When LLVM_ENABLE_THREADS is OFF, the threading APIs will always return 1, to ensure any caller loops will be exercised at least once.

Recommit of 0b4a047bfb
(reverted in c29003813a) to incorporate
subsequent fix and add a warning when LLD's interworking behavior has
changed.
D73474 disabled the generation of interworking thunks for branch
relocations to non STT_FUNC symbols. This patch handles the case of BL and
BLX instructions to non STT_FUNC symbols. LLD would normally look at the
state of the caller and the callee and write a BL if the states are the
same and a BLX if the states are different.
This patch disables BL/BLX substitution when the destination symbol does
not have type STT_FUNC. This brings our behavior in line with GNU ld which
may prevent difficult to diagnose runtime errors when switching to lld.
This change does change how LLD handles interworking of symbols that do not
have type STT_FUNC from previous versions including the 10.0 release. This
brings LLD in line with ld.bfd but there may be programs that have not been
linked with ld.bfd that depend on LLD's previous behavior. We emit a warning
when the behavior changes.
A summary of the difference between 10.0 and 11.0 is that for symbols
that do not have a type of STT_FUNC LLD will not change a BL to a BLX or
vice versa. The table below enumerates the changes
| relocation | STT_FUNC | bit(0) | in | 10.0- out | 11.0+ out |
| R_ARM_CALL | no | 1 | BL | BLX | BL |

D43468+D44380 added INSERT [AFTER|BEFORE] for non-orphan sections. This patch
makes INSERT work for orphan sections as well.
`SECTIONS {...} INSERT [AFTER|BEFORE] .foo` does not set `hasSectionCommands`, so the result
will be similar to a regular link without a linker script. The differences when `hasSectionCommands` is set include:
* image base is different
* -z noseparate-code/-z noseparate-loadable-segments are unavailable
* some special symbols such as `_end _etext _edata` are not defined
The behavior is similar to GNU ld:
INSERT is not considered an external linker script.
This feature makes the section layout more flexible. It can be used to:
* Place .nv_fatbin before other readonly SHT_PROGBITS sections to mitigate relocation overflows.
* Disturb the layout to expose address sensitive application bugs.

GNU ld has a counterintuitive lang_propagate_lma_regions rule.
```
// .foo's LMA region is propagated to .bar because their VMA region is the same,
// and .bar does not have an explicit output section address (addr_tree).
.foo : { *(.foo) } >RAM AT> FLASH
.bar : { *(.bar) } >RAM
// An explicit output section address disables propagation.
.foo : { *(.foo) } >RAM AT> FLASH
.bar . : { *(.bar) } >RAM
```
In both cases, lld thinks .foo's LMA region is propagated and
places .bar in the same PT_LOAD, so lld diverges from GNU ld w.r.t. the
second case (lma-align.test).
This patch changes Writer<ELFT>::createPhdrs to disable propagation
(start a new PT_LOAD). A user of the first case can make linker scripts
portable by explicitly specifying `AT>`. By contrast, there was no
workaround for the old behavior.
This change uncovers another LMA related bug in assignOffsets() where
`ctx->lmaOffset = 0;` was omitted. It caused a spurious "load address
range overlaps" error for at2.test
The new PT_LOAD rule is complex. For convenience, I listed the origins of some subexpressions:
* rL323449: `sec->memRegion == load->firstSec->memRegion`; linkerscript/at3.test
* D43284: `load->lastSec == Out::programHeaders` (don't start a new PT_LOAD after program headers); linkerscript/at4.test

ELF for the ARM architecture requires linkers to provide
interworking for symbols that are of type STT_FUNC. Interworking for
other symbols must be encoded directly in the object file. LLD was always
providing interworking, regardless of the symbol type, this breaks some
programs that have branches from Thumb state targeting STT_NOTYPE symbols
that have bit 0 clear, but they are in fact internal labels in a Thumb
function. LLD treats these symbols as ARM and inserts a transition to Arm.
This fixes the problem for in range branches, R_ARM_JUMP24,
R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 and R_ARM_THM_JUMP19. This is expected to be the vast
majority of problem cases as branching to an internal label close to the
function.
There is at least one follow up patch required.
- R_ARM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_CALL may do interworking via BL/BLX
substitution.
In theory range-extension thunks can be altered to not change state when
the symbol type is not STT_FUNC. I will need to check with ld.bfd to see if
this is the case in practice.

functions.
```
lis 3, func@ha
la 3, func@l(3)

In a -no-pie/-pie link, if func is not defined in the executable, a canonical PLT entry (st_value>0, st_shndx=0) will be needed.
References to func in shared objects will be resolved to this address.
-fno-pie -pie should fail with "can't create dynamic relocation ... against ...", so we just need to think about -no-pie.
On x86, the PLT entry passes the JMP_SLOT offset to the rtld PLT resolver.
On x86-64: the PLT entry passes the JUMP_SLOT index to the rtld PLT resolver.
On ARM/AArch64: the PLT entry passes &.got.plt[n]. The PLT header passes &.got.plt[fixed-index]. The rtld PLT resolver can compute the JUMP_SLOT index from the two addresses.
For these targets, the canonical PLT entry can just reuse the regular PLT entry (in PltSection).
On PPC32: PltSection (.glink) consists of `b PLTresolve` instructions and `PLTresolve`. The rtld PLT resolver depends on r11 having been set up to the .plt (GotPltSection) entry.
On PPC64 ELFv2: PltSection (.glink) consists of `__glink_PLTresolve` and `bl __glink_PLTresolve`. The rtld PLT resolver depends on r12 having been set up to the .plt (GotPltSection) entry.
We cannot reuse a `b PLTresolve`/`bl __glink_PLTresolve` in PltSection as a canonical PLT entry. PPC64 ELFv2 avoids the problem by using TOC for any external reference, even in non-pic code, so the canonical PLT entry scenario should not happen in the first place.
For PPC32, we have to create a PLT call stub as the canonical PLT entry. The code sequence sets up r11.

Summary:
Third part in series to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization
Enablement, see RFC here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
This patch adds type test metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
even for classes without hidden visibility. It then changes WPD to skip
devirtualization for a virtual function call when any of the compatible
vtables has public vcall visibility.
Additionally, internal LLVM options as well as lld and gold-plugin
options are added which enable upgrading all public vcall visibility
to linkage unit (hidden) visibility during LTO. This enables the more
aggressive WPD to kick in based on LTO time knowledge of the visibility
guarantees.
Support was added to all flavors of LTO WPD (regular, hybrid and
index-only), and to both the new and old LTO APIs.
Unfortunately it was not simple to split the first and second parts of
this part of the change (the unconditional emission of type tests and
the upgrading of the vcall visiblity) as I needed a way to upgrade the
public visibility on legacy WPD llvm assembly tests that don't include
linkage unit vcall visibility specifiers, to avoid a lot of test churn.
I also added a mechanism to LowerTypeTests that allows dropping type
test assume sequences we now aggressively insert when we invoke
distributed ThinLTO backends with null indexes, which is used in testing
mode, and which doesn't invoke the normal ThinLTO backend pipeline.
Depends on D71907 and D71911.

The INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS linker script command is used to constrain the
section pattern matching to sections that match certain combinations of
flags.
There are two ways to express the constraint.
withFlags: Section must have these flags.
withoutFlags: Section must not have these flags.
The syntax of the command is:
INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS '(' sect_flag_list ')'
sect_flag_list: NAME
| sect_flag_list '&' NAME
Where NAME matches a section flag name such as SHF_EXECINSTR, or the
integer value of a section flag. If the first character of NAME is ! then
it means must not contain flag.
We do not support the rare case of { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS(flags) filespec }
where filespec has no input section description like (.text).
As an example from the ld man page:
SECTIONS {
.text : { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS (SHF_MERGE & SHF_STRINGS) *(.text) }
.text2 : { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS (!SHF_WRITE) *(.text) }
}
.text will match sections called .text that have both the SHF_MERGE and
SHF_STRINGS flag.
.text2 will match sections called .text that don't have the SHF_WRITE flag.
The flag names accepted are the generic to all targets and SHF_ARM_PURECODE
as it is very useful to filter all the pure code sections into a single
program header that can be marked execute never.

Summary:
Unlike R_RISCV_RELAX, which is a linker hint, R_RISCV_ALIGN requires the
support of the linker even when ignoring all R_RISCV_RELAX relocations.
This is because the compiler emits as many NOPs as may be required for
the requested alignment, more than may be required pre-relaxation, to
allow for the target becoming more unaligned after relaxing earlier
sequences. This means that the target is often not initially aligned in
the object files, and so the R_RISCV_ALIGN relocations cannot just be
ignored. Since we do not support linker relaxation, we must turn these
into errors.

In D71281 a fix was put in to round up the size of a ThunkSection to the
nearest 4KiB when performing errata patching. This fixed a problem with a
very large instrumented program that had thunks and patches mutually
trigger each other. Unfortunately it triggers an assertion failure in an
AArch64 allyesconfig build of the kernel. There is a specific assertion
preventing an InputSectionDescription being larger than 4KiB. This will
always trigger if there is at least one Thunk needed in that
InputSectionDescription, which is possible for an allyesconfig build.
Abstractly the problem case is:
.text : {
*(.text) ;
...
. = ALIGN(SZ_4K);
__idmap_text_start = .;
*(.idmap.text)
__idmap_text_end = .;
...
}
The assertion checks that __idmap_text_end - __idmap_start is < 4 KiB.
Note that there is more than one InputSectionDescription in the
OutputSection so we can't just restrict the fix to OutputSections smaller
than 4 KiB.
The fix presented here limits the D71281 to InputSectionDescriptions that
meet the following conditions:
1.) The OutputSection is bigger than the thunkSectionSpacing so adding
thunks will affect the addresses of following code.
2.) The InputSectionDescription is larger than 4 KiB. This will prevent
any assertion failures that an InputSectionDescription is < 4 KiB
in size.
We do this at ThunkSection creation time as at this point we know that
the addresses are stable and up to date prior to adding the thunks as
assignAddresses() will have been called immediately prior to thunk
generation.
The fix reverts the two tests affected by D71281 to their original state
as they no longer need the 4KiB size roundup. I've added simpler tests to
check for D71281 when the OutputSection size is larger than the ThunkSection
spacing.

exclusion. Firstly, this reduces the need to retrieve the filename and
secondly, reduces the amount of potentially expensive filename pattern
matching if such rules are present in the linker script.
The impact of this change is particularly significant when linking
objects built with -ffunction-sections and -fstack-size-section, using a
linker script that includes non-trivial filename patterns. In a number
of such cases, the link time is halved.

This assertion was added as part of D70659 but did not account for .bss

while building FreeBSD for MIPS64. Fixed by relaxing the assert to also
account for SHT_NOBITS input sections and adjust the test
mips-jalr-non-function.s to link a file with a .bss section first.

This patch is a joint work by Rui Ueyama and me based on D58102 by Xiang Zhang.
It adds Intel CET (Control-flow Enforcement Technology) support to lld.
The implementation follows the draft version of psABI which you can
download from https://github.com/hjl-tools/x86-psABI/wiki/X86-psABI.
CET introduces a new restriction on indirect jump instructions so that
you can limit the places to which you can jump to using indirect jumps.
In order to use the feature, you need to compile source files with
-fcf-protection=full.
* IBT is enabled if all input files are compiled with the flag. To force enabling ibt, pass -z force-ibt.
* SHSTK is enabled if all input files are compiled with the flag, or if -z shstk is specified.
IBT-enabled executables/shared objects have two PLT sections, ".plt" and
".plt.sec". For the details as to why we have two sections, please read
the comments.

An undefined weak does not fetch the lazy definition. A lazy weak symbol

D71795 is not quite an NFC. It errors on an R_X86_64_PLT32 referencing
an undefined weak symbol. isPreemptible is false (incorrect) => R_PLT_PC

GNU ld's rules are architecture dependent and partly controlled by -z

Similar to D71509 (EM_PPC64), on EM_PPC, the IPLT code sequence should
be similar to a PLT call stub. Unlike EM_PPC64, EM_PPC -msecure-plt has
small/large PIC model differences.
* -fpic/-fpie: R_PPC_PLTREL24 r_addend=0. The call stub loads an address relative to `_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_`.
* -fPIC/-fPIE: R_PPC_PLTREL24 r_addend=0x8000. (A partial linked object
file may have an addend larger than 0x8000.) The call stub loads an address relative to .got2+0x8000.

Non-preemptible IFUNC are placed in in.iplt (.glink on EM_PPC64). If
there is a non-GOT non-PLT relocation, for pointer equality, we change
the type of the symbol from STT_IFUNC and STT_FUNC and bind it to the
.glink entry.
On EM_386, EM_X86_64, EM_ARM, and EM_AARCH64, the PLT code sequence
loads the address from its associated .got.plt slot. An IPLT also has an
associated .got.plt slot and can use the same code sequence.
On EM_PPC64, the PLT code sequence is actually a bl instruction in
.glink . It jumps to `__glink_PLTresolve` (the PLT header). and
`__glink_PLTresolve` computes the .plt slot (relocated by
R_PPC64_JUMP_SLOT).
An IPLT does not have an associated R_PPC64_JUMP_SLOT, so we cannot use
`bl` in .iplt . Instead, create a call stub which has a similar code
sequence as PPC64PltCallStub. We don't save the TOC pointer, so such
scenarios will not work: a function pointer to a non-preemptible ifunc,
which resolves to a function defined in another DSO. This is the
restriction described by https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/GNU_IFUNC
(though on many architectures it works in practice):
Requirement (a): Resolver must be defined in the same translation unit as the implementations.
If an ifunc is taken address but not called, technically we don't need
an entry for it, but we currently do that.

GNU ld creates the synthetic section .iplt, and has a built-in linker
script that assigns .iplt to the output section .plt . There is no
output section named .iplt .
Making .iplt an output section actually has a benefit that makes the
tricky toolchain feature stand out. Symbolizers don't have to deal with
mixed PLT entries (e.g. llvm-objdump -d incorrectly annotates such jump
targets).
On EM_PPC{,64}, .glink contains a PLT resolver and a series of jump
instructions. The 4-byte entry size makes it unnecessary to have an
alignment of 16.

On some edge cases such as Chromium compiled with full instrumentation we
have a .text section over twice the size of the maximum branch range and
the instrumented code generation containing many examples of the erratum
sequence. The combination of Thunks and many erratum sequences causes
finalizeAddressDependentContent() to not converge. We end up with:
start
- Thunk Creation (disturbs addresses after thunks, creating more patches)
- Patch Creation (disturbs addresses after patches, creating more thunks)
- goto start
In most images with few thunks and patches the mutual disturbance does not
cause convergence problems. As the .text size and number of patches go up
the risk increases.
A way to prevent the thunk creation from interfering with patch creation is
to round up the size of the thunks to a 4KiB boundary when the
erratum patch is enabled. As the erratum sequence only triggers when an
instruction sequence starts at 0xff8 or 0xffc modulo (4 KiB) by making the
thunks not affect addresses modulo (4 KiB) we prevent thunks from
interfering with the patch.
The patches themselves could be aggregated in the same way that Thunks are
within ThunkSections and we could round up the size in the same way. This
would reduce the number of patches created in a .text section size >
128 MiB but would not likely help convergence problems.

In GNU ld, -Ttext sets the address of the .text section and -Ttext-segment sets the address of the text segment (RX).

Based on D70020 by serge-sans-paille.
The ELF spec says:
> Furthermore, there may be internal references among these sections that would not make sense if one of the sections were removed or replaced by a duplicate from another object. Therefore, such groups must be included or omitted from the linked object as a unit. A section cannot be a member of more than one group.
GNU ld has 2 behaviors that we don't have:
- Group members (nextInSectionGroup != nullptr) are subject to garbage collection.
This includes non-SHF_ALLOC SHT_NOTE sections.
In particular, discarding non-SHF_ALLOC SHT_NOTE sections is an expected behavior by the Annobin
project. See
https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/02/20/annobin-storing-information-binaries/
for more information.
- Groups members are retained or discarded as a unit.
Members may have internal references that are not expressed as
SHF_LINK_ORDER, relocations, etc. It seems that we should be more conservative here:
if a section is marked live, mark all the other member within the
group.
Both behaviors are reasonable. This patch implements them.
A new field InputSectionBase::nextInSectionGroup tracks the next member
within a group. on ELF64, this increases sizeof(InputSectionBase) froms
144 to 152.
InputSectionBase::dependentSections tracks section dependencies, which
is used by both --gc-sections and /DISCARD/. We can't overload it for
the "next member" semantic, because we should allow /DISCARD/ to discard
sections independent of --gc-sections (GNU ld behavior). This behavior
may be reasonably used by `/DISCARD/ : { *(.ARM.exidx*) }` or `/DISCARD/
: { *(.note*) }` (new test `linkerscript/discard-group.s`).

This change is for those who use lld as a library. Context:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D70287
This patch adds a new parmeter to lld::*::link() so that we can pass
an raw_ostream object representing stdout. Previously, lld::*::link()
took only an stderr object.
Justification for making stdoutOS and stderrOS mandatory: I wanted to
make link() functions to take stdout and stderr in that order.
However, if we change the function signature from
bool link(ArrayRef<const char *> args, bool canExitEarly,
raw_ostream &stderrOS = llvm::errs());
to
bool link(ArrayRef<const char *> args, bool canExitEarly,
raw_ostream &stdoutOS = llvm::outs(),
raw_ostream &stderrOS = llvm::errs());
, then the meaning of existing code that passes stderrOS silently
changes (stderrOS would be interpreted as stdoutOS). So, I chose to
make existing code not to compile, so that developers can fix their
code.

The patch in https://reviews.llvm.org/D64077 causes a build failure
because both the Defined and SharedSymbol classes are bigger than 80
bytes on MinGW 8.
This patch fixes this build failure by changing the type of the
bitfields. It is a similar change to the bitfield changes in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D64238, but instead of changing to bool I
decided to use uint8_t because one of the bitfields takes up two bits
instead of one.
Note: the patch is slightly different from the one reviewed in
Phabricator, but it is a trivial change to align it with LLVM master
instead of LLVM 9. Also, it passes all lld tests.

The logic added in r372781 caused ARMExidxSyntheticSection::addSection()

a result, such exidx sections would end up treated like ordinary sections and

Summary:
Add a flag `F_no_mmap` to `FileOutputBuffer` to support
`--[no-]mmap-output-file` in ELF LLD. LLD currently explicitly ignores
this flag for compatibility with GNU ld and gold.
We need this flag to speed up link time for large binaries in certain
scenarios. When we link some of our larger binaries we find that LLD
takes 50+ GB of memory, which causes memory pressure. The memory
pressure causes the VM to flush dirty pages of the output file to disk.
This is normally okay, since we should be flushing cold pages. However,
when using BtrFS with compression we need to write 128KB at a time when
we flush a page. If any page in that 128KB block is written again, then
it must be flushed a second time, and so on. Since LLD doesn't write
sequentially this causes write amplification. The same 128KB block will
end up being flushed multiple times, causing the linker to many times
more IO than necessary. We've observed 3-5x faster builds with
-no-mmap-output-file when we hit this scenario.
The bad scenario only applies to compressed filesystems, which group
together multiple pages into a single compressed block. I've tested
BtrFS, but the problem will be present for any compressed filesystem
on Linux, since it is caused by the VM.
Silently ignoring --no-mmap-output-file caused a silent regression when
we switched from gold to lld. We pass --no-mmap-output-file to fix this
edge case, but since lld silently ignored the flag we didn't realize it
wasn't being respected.
Benchmark building a 9 GB binary that exposes this edge case. I linked 3
times with --mmap-output-file and 3 times with --no-mmap-output-file and
took the average. The machine has 24 cores @ 2.4 GHz, 112 GB of RAM,
BtrFS mounted with -compress-force=zstd, and an 80% full disk.
| Mode | Time |
|---------|-------|
| mmap | 894 s |
| no mmap | 126 s |
When compression is disabled, BtrFS performs just as well with and
without mmap on this benchmark.
I was unable to reproduce the regression with any binaries in
lld-speed-test.

Our .interp section is not a SyntheticSection. As a result, it terminates the
loop in removeUnusedSyntheticSections(). This has at least two consequences:
- The synthetic .bss and .bss.rel.ro sections are always present in
dynamically linked executables, even when they are not needed.
- The synthetic .ARM.exidx (and possibly other) sections are always present
in partitions other than the last one, even when not needed.
.ARM.exidx in particular is problematic because it assumes that its
list of code sections is non-empty in getLinkOrderDep(), which can
lead to a crash if the partition does not have any code sections.
Fix these problems by moving the creation of the .interp sections to the
top of createSyntheticSections(). While here, make the code a little less
error-prone by changing the add() lambdas to take a SyntheticSection instead
of an InputSectionBase.

Merging SHF_LINK_ORDER sections can affect semantics if the sh_link
fields point to different sections.
Specifically, for SHF_LINK_ORDER sections, the sh_link field acts as a reverse
dependency from the linked section, causing the SHF_LINK_ORDER section to
be included if the linked section is included. Merging sections with different
sh_link fields will cause the entire contents of the SHF_LINK_ORDER section
to be associated with a single (arbitrarily chosen) output section, whereas the
correct semantics are for the individual pieces of the SHF_LINK_ORDER section
to be associated with their linked output sections. As a result we can end up
incorrectly dropping SHF_LINK_ORDER section contents or including the wrong
section contents, depending on which linked sections were chosen.

b) With -z separate-code, we tail pad R and RX, but not the first RW (RELRO).
In some cases, b) saves one file page. In some cases, b) wastes one

The --fix-cortex-a8 option implements a linker workaround for the
coretex-a8 erratum 657417. A summary of the erratum conditions is:
- A 32-bit Thumb-2 branch instruction B.w, Bcc.w, BL, BLX spans two
4KiB regions.
- The destination of the branch is to the first 4KiB region.
- The instruction before the branch is a 32-bit Thumb-2 non-branch
instruction.
The linker fix is to redirect the branch to a patch not in the first
4KiB region. The patch forwards the branch on to its target.
The cortex-a8, is an old CPU, with the first implementation of this
workaround in ld.bfd appearing in 2009. The cortex-a8 has been used in
early Android Phones and there are some critical applications that still
need to run on a cortex-a8 that have the erratum. The patch is applied

If there is no readonly section, we map:
* The ELF header at imageBase+maxPageSize
* Program headers at imageBase+maxPageSize+sizeof(Ehdr)
* The first section .text at imageBase+maxPageSize+sizeof(Ehdr)+sizeof(program headers)
Due to the interaction between Writer<ELFT>::fixSectionAlignments and
LinkerScript::allocateHeaders,
`alignDown(p_vaddr(R PT_LOAD)) = alignDown(p_vaddr(RX PT_LOAD))`.
The RX PT_LOAD will override the R PT_LOAD at runtime, which is not ideal:
```
// PHDR at 0x401034, should be 0x400034
PHDR 0x000034 0x00401034 0x00401034 0x000a0 0x000a0 R 0x4
// R PT_LOAD contains just Ehdr and program headers.
// At 0x401000, should be 0x400000
LOAD 0x000000 0x00401000 0x00401000 0x000d4 0x000d4 R 0x1000
LOAD 0x0000d4 0x004010d4 0x004010d4 0x00001 0x00001 R E 0x1000
```
* createPhdrs allocates the headers to the R PT_LOAD.
* fixSectionAlignments assigns `imageBase+maxPageSize+sizeof(Ehdr)+sizeof(program headers)` (formula: `alignTo(dot, maxPageSize) + dot % config->maxPageSize`) to addrExpr of .text
* allocateHeaders computes the minimum address among SHF_ALLOC sections, i.e. addr(.text)
* allocateHeaders sets address of ELF header to `addr(.text)-sizeof(Ehdr)-sizeof(program headers) = imageBase+maxPageSize`
The main observation is that when the SECTIONS command is not used, we
don't have to call allocateHeaders. This requires an assumption that
the presence of PT_PHDR and addresses of headers can be decided
regardless of address information.
This may seem natural because dot is not manipulated by a linker script.
The other thing is that we have to drop the special rule for -T<section>
in `getInitialDot`. If -Ttext is smaller than the image base, the headers
will not be allocated with the old behavior (allocateHeaders is called)
but always allocated with the new behavior.
The behavior change is not a problem. Whether and where headers are
allocated can vary among linkers, or ld.bfd across different versions

createPhdrs() allocates a PT_PHDR and a PF_R PT_LOAD, which will be
deleted later in LinkerScript::allocateHeaders, but leave a gap between
the program headers and the first section. Don't allocate the segments

Summary:
ld.bfd produces an output with --noinhibit-exec when an ASSERT fails.
Use errorOrWarn() so that we can produce an output as well.
An interesting case is that symbol assignments may execute multiple
times, so we probably want to suppress errors for non-final runs.

Recommit r370635 (reverted by r371202), with one change: move addOrphanSections() before ICF.
Before, orphan sections in two different partitions may be folded and
moved to the main partition.
Now, InputSection->OutputSection assignment for orphans happens before
ICF. ICF does not fold input sections with different output sections.
With the PR43241 reproduce,
`llvm-objcopy --extract-partition libvr.so libchrome__combined.so libvr.so` => no error
Updated description:
Fixes PR39418. Complements D47241 (the non-linker-script case).
processSectionCommands() assigns input sections to output sections.
ICF is called before it, so .text.foo and .text.bar may be folded even if
their output sections are made different by SECTIONS commands.
```
markLive<ELFT>()
doIcf<ELFT>() // During ICF, we don't know the output sections
writeResult()
combineEhSections<ELFT>()
script->processSectionCommands() // InputSection -> OutputSection assignment
```
This patch splits processSectionCommands() into processSectionCommands()
and processSymbolAssignments(), and moves
processSectionCommands()/addOrphanSections() before ICF:
```
markLive<ELFT>()
combineEhSections<ELFT>()
script->processSectionCommands()
script->addOrphanSections();
doIcf<ELFT>() // should remove folded input sections
writeResult()
script->processSymbolAssignments()
```
An alternative approach is to unfold a section `sec` in
processSectionCommands() when we find `sec` and `sec->repl` belong to
different output sections. I feel this patch is superior because this
can fold more sections and the decouple of
SectionCommand/SymbolAssignment gives flexibility:
* An ExprValue can't be evaluated before its section is assigned to an
output section -> we can delete getOutputSectionVA and simplify
another place where we had to check if the output section is null.
Moreover, a case in linkerscript/early-assign-symbol.s can be handled
now.
* processSectionCommands/processSymbolAssignments can be freely moved
around.

Previously, segments were aligned according to their first section's
alignment requirements. That was not correct, but segments are also
aligned to a page boundary, and a page boundary is usually much larger
than a section alignment requirement, so no one noticed this bug before.
Now, lld has --nmagic option which sets maxPageSize to 1 to effectively
disable page alignment, which reveals the issue.

The size of SHT_RELR may oscillate between 2 numbers (see D53003 for a
similar --pack-dyn-relocs=android issue). This can happen if the shrink
of SHT_RELR causes it to take more words to encode relocation offsets
(this can happen with thunks or segments with overlapping p_offset
ranges), and the expansion of SHT_RELR causes it to take fewer words to
encode relocation offsets.
To avoid the issue, add padding 1s to the end of the relocation section
if its size would decrease. Trailing 1s do not decode to more relocations.

SHT_LLVM_PART_EHDR marks the start of a partition. The partition
sections will be extracted to a separate file. Align to the next maximum
page size boundary so that we can find the ELF header at the start. We
cannot benefit from overlapping p_offset ranges with the previous
segment anyway.
It seems we lack some llvm-objcopy --extract-main-partition and
--extract-partition sanity checks. It may place EHDR at the start
even if p_offset if non zero. Anyway, the lld change is justified for

D64136 and D65584, while fixing STB_WEAK issues and improving our
compatibility with ld.bfd, can cause another STB_WEAK problem related to
LTO:
If %tundef.o has an undefined reference on f,
and %tweakundef.o has a weak undefined reference on f,
%tdef.o has a definition of f
```
ld.lld %tundef.o %tweakundef.o --start-lib %tdef.o --end-lib
```
1) `%tundef.o` doesn't set the `referenced` bit.
2) `%weakundef.o` changes the binding from STB_GLOBAL to STB_WEAK
3) `%tdef.o` is not fetched because the binding is weak.
Step (1) is incorrect. This patch sets the `referenced` bit of Undefined

This essentially reverts the code change of D63132 and switches to a simpler approach.
In an executable/shared object, st_shndx of a symbol can be:
1) SHN_UNDEF: undefined symbol (or canonical PLT)
2) SHN_ABS: absolute symbol
3) any other value (usually a regular section index) represents a relative symbol.
The actual value does not matter.
Many ld.so (musl, all archs except MIPS of FreeBSD rtld-elf) even treat 2) and 3)
the same. If .sdata does not exist, it does not matter what value/section
__global_pointer$ has, as long as it is relative (otherwise there will be a pedantic
lld error. See D63132). Just set the st_shndx arbitrarily to 1.
Dummy st_shndx=1 may be used by __rela_iplt_start, linker-script-defined symbols outside a section, __dso_handle, etc.

PR42990. For `SECTIONS { b = a; . = 0xff00 + (a >> 8); a = .; }`,
we currently set st_value(a)=0xff00 while st_value(b)=0xffff.
The following call tree demonstrates the problem:
```
link<ELF64LE>(Args);
Script->declareSymbols(); // insert a and b as absolute Defined
Writer<ELFT>().run();
Script->processSectionCommands();
addSymbol(cmd); // a and b are re-inserted. LinkerScript::getSymbolValue
// is lazily called by subsequent evaluation
finalizeSections();
forEachRelSec(scanRelocations<ELFT>);
processRelocAux // another problem PR42506, not affected by this patch
finalizeAddressDependentContent(); // loop executed once
script->assignAddresses(); // a = 0, b = 0xff00
script->assignAddresses(); // a = 0xff00, _end = 0xffff
```
We need another assignAddresses() to finalize the value of `a`.
This patch
1) modifies assignAddress() to track the original section/value of each
symbol and return a symbol whose section/value has changed.
2) moves the post-finalizeSections assignAddress() inside the loop
of finalizeAddressDependentContent() and makes it iterative.
Symbol assignment may not converge so we make a few attempts before
bailing out.
Note, assignAddresses() must be called at least twice. The penultimate
call finalized section addresses while the last finalized symbol values.
It is somewhat obscure and there was no comment.

executable is mapped by the Linux kernel, it will segfault.

Currently, with Android dynamic relocation packing, only relative
relocations are grouped together. This patch implements similar
packing for non-relative relocations.
The implementation groups non-relative relocations with the same
r_info and r_addend, if using RELA. By requiring a minimum group
size of 3, this achieves smaller relocation sections. Building Android
for an ARM32 device, I see the total size of /system/lib decrease by
392 KB.
Grouping by r_info also allows the runtime dynamic linker to implement
an 1-entry cache to reduce the number of symbol lookup required. With
such 1-entry cache implemented on Android, I'm seeing 10% to 20%
reduction in total time spent in runtime linker for several executables
that I tested.
As a simple correctness check, I've also built x86_64 Android and booted
successfully.
