Previously, this feature was implemented using a special type of
undefined symbol, in addition to an intricate way to make the resolver
read a virtual file containing that renaming symbols.
Now the feature is directly handled by the symbol table.
The symbol table has a function, rename(), to rename symbols, whose
definition is 4 lines long. Symbol renaming is naturally modeled using
Symbol and SymbolBody.

Previously, a MemoryBuffer of a file was owned by each InputFile object.
This patch makes the Driver own all of them. InputFiles now have only
MemoryBufferRefs. This change simplifies ownership managment
(particularly for ObjectFile -- the object owned a MemoryBuffer only when
it's not created from an archive file, because in that case a parent
archive file owned the entire buffer. Now it owns nothing unconditionally.)

It does not involve notions of virtual archives or virtual files,
nor store a list of undefined symbols somewhere else to consume them later.
We did that before. In this patch, undefined symbols are just added to
the symbol table, which now can be done in very few lines of code.

Previously the main linker routine is just a non-member function.

`main` is not the only main function in Windows. You can choose one
from these four -- {w,}{WinMain,main}. There are four different entry
point functions for them, {w,}{WinMain,main}CRTStartup, respectively.
The linker needs to choose the right one depending on which `main`
function is defined.

Section names were truncated to 8 bytes because the section table's

Currently we set the field to zero, but as per the spec, we should
set numbers we read from import library files. The loader uses the
values as starting offsets for binary search when looking up imported
symbols from DLL.

The previous implementation's driver file is cluttered by lots of
small functions, and it was hard to find important functions.
Make a separate file to prevent that issue.

Previously Writer directly handles writes to a file.
Chunks needed to give Writer a continuous chunk of memory.
That was inefficent if you construct data in chunks because
it would require two memory copies (one to construct a chunk
and the other is to write that to a file).
This patch teaches chunk to write directly to a file.
From readability point of view, this is also good because
you no longer have to call hasData() before calling getData().

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.

We do not need to merge ELF flags from DSO. But `isCompatible` is called

Original patch of Shankar Easwaran with additional test case.
The yaml2obj does not allow to create an object file with non-unique
sections names so the fix uses a binary input object file in the test
case.

These two serve different purpose:
PLTGOT entries are (usually) lazily resolved and serve as trampolines
to correctly call dynamically linked functions. They often have
R_*_JUMP_SLOT dynamic relocation type used.
Simple GOT entries hold other things, one of them may be
R_*_GLOB_DAT to correctly reference global and static data. This
is also used to hold dynamically linked function's address.
To properly handle cases when shared object's function is called
and at the same time its address is taken, we need to be able to have
both GOT and PLTGOT entries bearing different dynamic relocation types
for the same symbol.
llvm-svn: 238015
This is used when referencing global or static data in shared
objects. This is also used when function's address is taken and
function call is made indirectly.

It's a lot faster than bash.
Also use FileCheck instead of grep to search through a binary file.
Cygwin's grep isn't working here for unknown reasons that probably

This patch allow the ARM relocation R_ARM_V4BX to be processed by lld,
although it is not really handled in the static relocation code. The
relocation is in the form:
Relocation section '.rel.text' at offset 0x428 contains 4 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name
00000014 00000028 R_ARM_V4BX
Meaning it does have a direct target, but rather references to an absolute
section *ABS* (in this exemple to the .text segment itself). It makes the
target Atom after file parse to not have a associated pointer and thus
generating a derrefence NULL point in ELFFile<ELFT>::findAtom. Current
approach is just ignore and return nullptr in such cases.
The problem relies that default GCC configuration
for arm-linux-gnueabi{hf} emits the relocation for the asm:
--
.syntax unified
.arm
.p2align 2
.type fn, %function
fn:
ldr r3, .LGOT
ldr r2, .LGOT+4
.LPIC:
add r3, pc, r3
ldr r2, [r3, r2]
cmp r2, #0
bxeq lr
b __start__
.LGOT:
.word _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-(.LPIC+8)
.word __start__(GOT)
--
But only with the option -march=armv4 (which is the default GCC configuration).
For arm5 and forward the relocation is not created. This a special relocation
(defined miscellaneous for ARM) that instruct the linker to replace the bx
instruction into a mov. GNU linker has some options related to which substitution
it can create for such cases.
With this patch I can dynamically link an application against a GLIBC
arm-linux-gnueabi system configured with default GCC.

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 TargetLayout class puts two sections into the same segment if they
have equal segment types and the same section flags (SHF_xxx). To be
able to merge some sort of sections into the same segment we drop some
flags before comparison. For example to merge string sections into Data
segment we drop SHF_STRINGS and SHF_MERGE flags.
The patch allows TargetLayout descendants to drop some target specific
section flags. MIPS target needs that to merge .MIPS.options section
which has SHF_MIPS_NOSTRIP flag into the LOAD segment.

There's (almost) never need to keep .L symbols around for production
builds. In fact, the FreeBSD kernel explicitly specify -X beacuse the
size impact (and the subsequent performance impact) might be significant,
because we keep symbols in memory.
I was tempted to make this the default, but I haven't (yet).

HexagonEncodings.h contains a list of bitmasks. The file is used

This function is too long and complicated. Looks like new code was
added incrementaly without any refactoring. Maybe no one can describe
its exact semantics any more? It even contains copy-pastes inside it.
This patch is an (incomplete) attempt to simplify the function.
I tried to mechanically translate code to another form more intelligible.
I don't still understand the whole picture, but this patch shouldn't
change the linker's functionality.

We don't need to repeat the template argument. They are not

This patch tries to fix the following MSVC warning.
warning C4661: 'bool

llvm-svn: 234909
Previously, ELFReader takes three template arguments: EFLT,
LinkingContextT and FileT. FileT is itself templated.
So it was a bit complicated. Maybe too much.
Most architectures don't actually need to be parameterized for ELFT.
For example, x86 is always ELF32LE and x86-64 is ELF64LE.
However, because ELFReader requires a ELFT argument, we needed
to parameterize a class even if not needed.
This patch removes the parameter from the class. So now we can
de-templatize such classes (I didn't do that in this patch, though).
This patch also removes ContextT parameter since it didn't have to be
passed as a template argument.

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.

DynamicFile and ELFFile are instantiated for four different types,
ELF{32,64}{BE,LE}. Because the classes are instantiated in each
compilation unit, including the header file makes object files
10MB larger.
On Windows, issue of excessive template instantiation is critical,
since the regular COFF file supports only up to 65534 sections.
(We could use the extended COFF file format, but generating that
much COMDAT sections is not a good thing in the first place
because it means long compile time and long link time.)
I confirmed that this change makes AArch64TargetHandler.cpp.o
from 21MB to 8.5MB. It feels still too large, but I think it's
a good start.
