Also change some options that have different semantics (cause confusion) in llvm-readelf mode:
-s => -S
-t => --symbols
-sd => --section-data
llvm-svn: 359651
Old: PT_LOAD(.data | PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .data .bss)
The placement of | indicates page alignment caused by PT_GNU_RELRO. The
new layout has simpler rules and saves space for many cases.
Old size: roundup(.data) + roundup(.data.rel.ro)
New size: roundup(.data.rel.ro + .bss.rel.ro) + .data
Other advantages:
* At runtime the 3 memory mappings decrease to 2.
* start(PT_TLS) = start(PT_GNU_RELRO) = start(RW PT_LOAD). This
simplifies binary manipulation tools.
GNU strip before 2.31 discards PT_GNU_RELRO if its
address is not equal to the start of its associated PT_LOAD.
This has been fixed by https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=f2731e0c374e5323ce4cdae2bcc7b7fe22da1a6f
But with this change, we will be compatible with GNU strip before 2.31
* Before, .got.plt (non-relro by default) was placed before .got (relro
by default), which made it impossible to have _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
(start of .got.plt on x86-64) equal to the end of .got (R_GOT*_FROM_END)
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36555). With the new ordering, we
can improve on this regard if we'd like to.

When using Elf_Rela every tool should use the addend in the
relocation.
We have --apply-dynamic-relocs to work around bugs in tools that don't
do that.
The default value of --apply-dynamic-relocs should be false to make
sure these bugs are more easily found in the future.
llvm-svn: 324264
When resolving dynamic RELA relocations the addend is taken from the
relocation and not the place being relocated. Accordingly lld does not
write the addend field to the place like it would for a REL relocation.
Unfortunately there is some system software, in particlar dynamic loaders
such as Bionic's linker64 that use the value of the place prior to
relocation to find the offset that they have been loaded at. Both gold
and bfd control this behavior with the --[no-]apply-dynamic-relocs option.
This change implements the option and defaults it to true for compatibility
with gold and bfd.

This is in preparation for my next change, which will introduce a relro
nobits section. That requires that relro sections appear at the end of the
progbits part of the r/w segment so that the relro nobits section can appear
contiguously.
Because of the amount of churn required in the test suite, I'm making this
change separately.
llvm-svn: 291523
The Elf_Rela has an explicit addend. It doesn't need the addend to be
written to the section being relocated.
Since relative relocations are very common in the output, this is a
noticeable speedup. The results I got were

We currently don't do a good job of diagnosing inputs that would require
dynamic relocations to be applied to read only segments.
I am about to improve lld in that area, but unfortunately we developed
tests that depend on the current behavior.
To make clear what is actually changing, this first patch just updates
tests to not depend on the current behavior. In most cases this just
means using a rw section instead of a ro one, but that unfortunately
changes many addresses.
llvm-svn: 268145
Relocations against sections with no SHF_ALLOC bit are R_ABS relocations.
Currently we are creating Relocations vector for them, but that is wasteful.
This patch is to skip vector construction and to directly apply relocations
in place.
This patch seems to be pretty effective for large executables with debug info.
r266158 (Rafael's patch to change the way how we apply relocations) caused a
temporary performance degradation for such executables, but this patch makes
it even faster than before.
Time to link clang with debug info (output size is 1070 MB):
before r266158: 15.312 seconds (0%)
r266158: 17.301 seconds (+13.0%)
Head: 16.484 seconds (+7.7%)
w/patch: 13.166 seconds (-14.0%)
