If the only section of a PT_LOAD is a SHT_NOBITS section (e.g. .bss), we
may not align its sh_offset. p_offset of the PT_LOAD will be set to
sh_offset, and we will get p_offset!=p_vaddr (mod p_align). If such
executable is mapped by the Linux kernel, it will segfault.
After D64906, this may happen the non-linker script case.
The linker script case has had this issue for a long time.
This was fixed by rL321657 (but the test linkerscript/nobits-offset.s
failed to test a SHT_NOBITS section), but broken by rL345154.

This change affects the non-linker script case (precisely, when the
`SECTIONS` command is not used). It deletes 3 alignments at PT_LOAD
boundaries for the default case: the size of a powerpc64 binary can be
decreased by at most 192kb. The technique can be ported to other
targets.
Let me demonstrate the idea with a maxPageSize=65536 example:
When assigning the address to the first output section of a new PT_LOAD,
if the end p_vaddr of the previous PT_LOAD is 0x10020, we advance to
the next multiple of maxPageSize: 0x20000. The new PT_LOAD will thus
have p_vaddr=0x20000. Because p_offset and p_vaddr are congruent modulo
maxPageSize, p_offset will be 0x20000, leaving a p_offset gap [0x10020,
0x20000) in the output.
Alternatively, if we advance to 0x20020, the new PT_LOAD will have
p_vaddr=0x20020. We can pick either 0x10020 or 0x20020 for p_offset!
Obviously 0x10020 is the choice because it leaves no gap. At runtime,
p_vaddr will be rounded down by pagesize (65536 if
pagesize=maxPageSize). This PT_LOAD will load additional initial
contents from p_offset ranges [0x10000,0x10020), which will also be
loaded by the previous PT_LOAD. This is fine if -z noseparate-code is in
effect or if we are not transiting between executable and non-executable
segments.
ld.bfd -z noseparate-code leverages this technique to keep output small.
This patch implements the technique in lld, which is mostly effective on
targets with large defaultMaxPageSize (AArch64/MIPS/PPC: 65536). The 3
removed alignments can save almost 3*65536 bytes.
Two places that rely on p_vaddr%pagesize = 0 have to be updated.
1) We used to round p_memsz(PT_GNU_RELRO) up to commonPageSize (defaults
to 4096 on all targets). Now p_vaddr%commonPageSize may be non-zero.
The updated formula takes account of that factor.
2) Our TP offsets formulae are only correct if p_vaddr%p_align = 0.
Fix them. See the updated comments in InputSection.cpp for details.
On targets that we enable the technique (only PPC64 now),
we can potentially make `p_vaddr(PT_TLS)%p_align(PT_TLS) != 0`
if `sh_addralign(.tdata) < sh_addralign(.tbss)`
This exposes many problems in ld.so implementations, especially the
offsets of dynamic TLS blocks. Known issues:
FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT rtld-elf (i386/amd64/powerpc/arm64)
glibc (HEAD) i386 and x86_64 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24606
musl<=1.1.22 on TLS Variant I architectures (aarch64/powerpc64/...)
So, force p_vaddr%p_align = 0 by rounding dot up to p_align(PT_TLS).
The technique will be enabled (with updated tests) for other targets in
subsequent patches.

Bullet points 4) and 5) are irrelevant in this patch.

An R_*_IRELATIVE represents the address of a STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol
(redirected at runtime) which is non-preemptable and is not associated
with a canonical PLT (associated with a symbol with a section index of
SHN_UNDEF but a non-zero st_value).
.rel[a].plt [DT_JMPREL, DT_JMPREL+DT_JMPRELSZ) contains relocations that
can be lazily resolved. R_*_IRELATIVE are always eagerly resolved, so
conceptually they do not belong to .rela.plt. "iplt" is mostly a misnomer.
glibc powerpc and powerpc64 do not resolve R_*_IRELATIVE if they are in .rela.plt.

This patch
1) adds -z separate-code and -z noseparate-code (default).
2) changes the condition that the last page of last PF_X PT_LOAD is
padded with trap instructions.
Current condition (after D33630): if there is no `SECTIONS` commands.
After this change: if -z separate-code is specified.
-z separate-code was introduced to ld.bfd in 2018, to place the text
segment in its own pages. There is no overlap in pages between an
executable segment and a non-executable segment:
1) RX cannot load initial contents from R or RW(or non-SHF_ALLOC).
2) R and RW(or non-SHF_ALLOC) cannot load initial contents from RX.
lld's current status:
- Between R and RX: in `Writer<ELFT>::fixSectionAlignments()`, the start of a
segment is always aligned to maxPageSize, so the initial contents loaded by R
and RX do not overlap. I plan to allow overlaps in D64906 if -z noseparate-code
is in effect.
- Between RX and RW(or non-SHF_ALLOC if RW doesn't exist):
we currently unconditionally pad the last page to commonPageSize
(defaults to 4096 on all targets we support).
This patch will make it effective only if -z separate-code is specified.
-z separate-code is a dubious feature that intends to reduce the number
of ROP gadgets (which is actually ineffective because attackers can find
plenty of gadgets in the text segment, no need to find gadgets in
non-code regions).
With the overlapping PT_LOAD technique D64906, -z noseparate-code
removes two more alignments at segment boundaries than -z separate-code.
This saves at most defaultCommonPageSize*2 bytes, which are significant
on targets with large defaultCommonPageSize (AArch64/MIPS/PPC: 65536).
Issues/feedback on alignment at segment boundaries to help understand
the implication:
* binutils PR24490 (the situation on ld.bfd is worse because they have
two R-- on both sides of R-E so more alignments.)
* In binutils, the 2018-02-27 commit "ld: Add --enable-separate-code" made -z separate-code the default on Linux.
d969dea983
In musl-cross-make, binutils is configured with --disable-separate-code
to address size regressions caused by -z separate-code. (lld actually has the same
issue, which I plan to fix in a future patch. The ld.bfd x86 status is
worse because they default to max-page-size=0x200000).
* https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237676 people want
smaller code size. This patch will remove one alignment boundary.
* Stef O'Rear: I'm opposed to any kind of page alignment at the
text/rodata line (having a partial page of text aliased as rodata and
vice versa has no demonstrable harm, and I actually care about small
systems).
So, make -z noseparate-code the default.

This patch is mechanically generated by clang-llvm-rename tool that I wrote
using Clang Refactoring Engine just for creating this patch. You can see the
source code of the tool at https://reviews.llvm.org/D64123. There's no manual
post-processing; you can generate the same patch by re-running the tool against
lld's code base.
Here is the main discussion thread to change the LLVM coding style:
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-February/130083.html
In the discussion thread, I proposed we use lld as a testbed for variable
naming scheme change, and this patch does that.
I chose to rename variables so that they are in camelCase, just because that
is a minimal change to make variables to start with a lowercase letter.
Note to downstream patch maintainers: if you are maintaining a downstream lld
repo, just rebasing ahead of this commit would cause massive merge conflicts
because this patch essentially changes every line in the lld subdirectory. But
there's a remedy.
clang-llvm-rename tool is a batch tool, so you can rename variables in your
downstream repo with the tool. Given that, here is how to rebase your repo to
a commit after the mass renaming:
1. rebase to the commit just before the mass variable renaming,
2. apply the tool to your downstream repo to mass-rename variables locally, and
3. rebase again to the head.
Most changes made by the tool should be identical for a downstream repo and
for the head, so at the step 3, almost all changes should be merged and
disappear. I'd expect that there would be some lines that you need to merge by
hand, but that shouldn't be too many.

* Add a new thunk type: PPC32PltCallStub that is similar to PPC64PltCallStub.
It is used by R_PPC_REL24 and R_PPC_PLTREL24.
A PLT stub used in -fPIE/-fPIC usually loads an address relative to
.got2+0x8000 (-fpie/-fpic code uses _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ relative
addresses).
Two .got2 sections in two object files have different addresses, thus a PLT stub
can't be shared by two object files. To handle this incompatibility,
change the parameters of Thunk::isCompatibleWith to
`const InputSection &, const Relocation &`.
PowerPC psABI specified an old-style .plt (BSS PLT) that is both
writable and executable. Linkers don't make separate RW- and RWE segments,
which causes all initially writable memory (think .data) executable.
This is a big security concern so a new PLT scheme (secure PLT) was developed to
address the security issue.

This reverts D53906.
D53906 increased p_align of PT_TLS on ARM/AArch64 to 32/64 to make the
static TLS layout compatible with Android Bionic's ELF TLS. However,
this may cause glibc ARM/AArch64 programs to crash (see PR41527).
The faulty PT_TLS in the executable satisfies p_vaddr%p_align != 0. The
remainder is normally 0 but may be non-zero with the hack in place. The
problem is that we increase PT_TLS's p_align after OutputSections'
addresses are fixed (assignAddress()). It is possible that
p_vaddr%old_p_align = 0 while p_vaddr%new_p_align != 0.
For a thread local variable defined in the executable, lld computed TLS
offset (local exec) is different from glibc computed TLS offset from
another module (initial exec/generic dynamic). Note: PR41527 said the
bug affects initial exec but actually generic dynamic is affected as
well.
(glibc is correct in that it compute offsets that satisfy
`offset%p_align == p_vaddr%p_align`, which is a basic ELF requirement.
This hack appears to work on FreeBSD rtld, musl<=1.1.22, and Bionic, but
that is just because they (and lld) incorrectly compute offsets that
satisfy `offset%p_align = 0` instead.)

This is the last patch of the series of patches to make it possible to
resolve symbols without asking SymbolTable to do so.
The main point of this patch is the introduction of
`elf::resolveSymbol(Symbol *Old, Symbol *New)`. That function resolves
or merges given symbols by examining symbol types and call
replaceSymbol (which memcpy's New to Old) if necessary.
With the new function, we have now separated symbol resolution from
symbol lookup. If you already have a Symbol pointer, you can directly
resolve the symbol without asking SymbolTable to do that.
Now that the nice abstraction become available, I can start working on
performance improvement of the linker. As a starter, I'm thinking of
making --{start,end}-lib faster.
--{start,end}-lib is currently unnecessarily slow because it looks up
the symbol table twice for each symbol.
- The first hash table lookup/insertion occurs when we instantiate a
LazyObject file to insert LazyObject symbols.
- The second hash table lookup/insertion occurs when we create an
ObjFile from LazyObject file. That overwrites LazyObject symbols
with Defined symbols.
I think it is not too hard to see how we can now eliminate the second
hash table lookup. We can keep LazyObject symbols in Step 1, and then
call elf::resolveSymbol() to do Step 2.

SymbolTable's add-family functions have lots of parameters because
when they have to create a new symbol, they forward given arguments
to Symbol's constructors. Therefore, the functions take at least as
many arguments as their corresponding constructors.
This patch simplifies the add-family functions. Now, the functions
take a symbol instead of arguments to construct a symbol. If there's
no existing symbol, a given symbol is memcpy'ed to the symbol table.
Otherwise, the functions attempt to merge the existing and a given
new symbol.
I also eliminated `CanOmitFromDynSym` parameter, so that the functions
take really one argument.
Symbol classes are trivially constructible, so looks like constructing
them to pass to add-family functions is as cheap as passing a lot of
arguments to the functions. A quick benchmark showed that this patch
seems performance-neutral.

The -n (--nmagic) disables page alignment, and acts as a -Bstatic
The -N (--omagic) does what -n does but also marks the executable segment as
writeable. As page alignment is disabled headers are not allocated unless
explicit in the linker script.
To disable page alignment in LLD we choose to set the page sizes to 1 so
that any alignment based on the page size does nothing. To set the
Target->PageSize to 1 we implement -z common-page-size, which has the side
effect of allowing the user to set the value as well.
Setting the page alignments to 1 does mean that any use of
CONSTANT(MAXPAGESIZE) or CONSTANT(COMMONPAGESIZE) in a linker script will
return 1, unlike in ld.bfd. However given that -n and -N disable paging
these probably shouldn't be used in a linker script where -n or -N is in
use.

Summary:
While the generic ABI requires notes to be 8-byte aligned in ELF64, many
vendor-specific notes (from Linux, NetBSD, Solaris, etc) use 4-byte
alignment.
In a PT_NOTE segment, if 4-byte aligned notes are followed by an 8-byte
aligned note, the possible 4-byte padding may make consumers fail to
parse the 8-byte aligned note. See PR41000 for a recent report about
.note.gnu.property (NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0).
(Note, for NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0, the consumers should probably migrate
to PT_GNU_PROPERTY, but the alignment issue affects other notes as well.)
To fix the issue, don't mix notes with different alignments in one
PT_NOTE. If compilers emit 4-byte aligned notes before 8-byte aligned
notes, we'll create at most 2 segments.
sh_size%sh_addralign=0 is actually implied by the rule for linking
unrecognized sections (in generic ABI), so we don't have to check that.
Notes that match in name, type and attribute flags are concatenated into
a single output section. The compilers have to ensure
sh_size%sh_addralign=0 to make concatenated notes parsable.
An alternative approach is to create a PT_NOTE for each SHT_NOTE, but
we'll have to incur the sizeof(Elf64_Phdr)=56 overhead every time a new
note section is introduced.

This generalizes code and also fixes the broken behavior shown in
one of our test cases for some targets, like x86-64.
The issue occurs when the forward declarations are used in the script.
One of the samples is:
SECTIONS {
foo = ADDR(.text) - ABSOLUTE(ADDR(.text));
};
In that case, we have a broken output when output target does
not use thunks. That happens because thunks creating code
(called from maybeAddThunks)
calls Script->assignAddresses() at least one more time,
what fixups the values. As a result final symbols values can
be different on AArch64 and x86, for example.
In this patch, I generalize and rename maybeAddThunks to
finalizeAddressDependentContent and now it is used and called
by all targets.

With partitions, each partition should have the same build id. This means
that the build id needs to be only computed once, otherwise we will end up
with different build ids in each partition as a result of the file contents

For partitions I intend to use the same set of version indexes in
each partition for simplicity. Since each partition will need its own
VersionNeedSection this will require moving the verneed tracking out of
VersionNeedSection. The way I've done this is to move most of the tracking
into SharedFile. What will eventually become the per-partition tracking
still lives in VersionNeedSection.
As a bonus the code gets a little simpler and more consistent with how we
handle verdef.

Recommit r356666 with fixes for buildbot failure, as well as handling for

relocations.
Instead of creating extra Synthetic .ARM.exidx sections to account for
gaps in the table, create a single .ARM.exidx SyntheticSection that can
derive the contents of the gaps from a sorted list of the executable
InputSections. This has the benefit of moving the ARM specific code for
SyntheticSections in SHF_LINK_ORDER processing and the table merging code
into the ARM specific SyntheticSection. This also makes it easier to create

Summary:
This should address remaining issues discussed in PR36555.
Currently R_GOT*_FROM_END are exclusively used by x86 and x86_64 to
express relocations types relative to the GOT base. We have
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ (GOT base) = start(.got.plt) but end(.got) !=
start(.got.plt)
This can have problems when _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is used as a symbol, e.g.
glibc dl_machine_dynamic assumes _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is start(.got.plt),
which is not true.
extern const ElfW(Addr) _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[] attribute_hidden;
return _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[0]; // R_X86_64_GOTPC32
In this patch, we
* Change all GOT*_FROM_END to GOTPLT* to fix the problem.
* Add HasGotPltOffRel to denote whether .got.plt should be kept even if
the section is empty.
* Simplify GotSection::empty and GotPltSection::empty by setting
HasGotOffRel and HasGotPltOffRel according to GlobalOffsetTable early.
The change of R_386_GOTPC makes X86::writePltHeader simpler as we don't
have to compute the offset start(.got.plt) - Ebx (it is constant 0).
We still diverge from ld.bfd (at least in most cases) and gold in that
.got.plt and .got are not adjacent, but the advantage doing that is
unclear.

Summary:
Based on Peter Collingbourne's suggestion in D56828.
Before D56828: PT_LOAD(.data PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) .bss)
Old: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) .data .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro)) PT_LOAD(.data. .bss)
The new layout reflects the runtime memory mappings.
By having two PT_LOAD segments, we can utilize the NOBITS part of the
first PT_LOAD and save bytes for .bss.rel.ro.
.bss.rel.ro is currently small and only used by copy relocations of
symbols in read-only segments, but it can be used for other purposes in
the future, e.g. if a relro section's statically relocated data is all
zeros, we can move it to .bss.rel.ro.

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

A follow up to the intial patch that unblocked linking against libgcc.
For lld we don't need to bother tracking which objects have got based small
code model relocations. This is due to the fact that the compilers on
powerpc64 use the .toc section to generate indirections to symbols (rather then
using got relocations) which keeps the got small. This makes overflowing a

Summary:
In ld.bfd/gold, --no-allow-shlib-undefined is the default when linking
an executable. This patch implements a check to error on undefined
symbols in a shared object, if all of its DT_NEEDED entries are seen.
Our approach resembles the one used in gold, achieves a good balance to
be useful but not too smart (ld.bfd traces all DSOs and emulates the
behavior of a dynamic linker to catch more cases).
The error is issued based on the symbol table, different from undefined
reference errors issued for relocations. It is most effective when there
are DSOs that were not linked with -z defs (e.g. when static sanitizers
runtime is used).
gold has a comment that some system libraries on GNU/Linux may have
spurious undefined references and thus system libraries should be
excluded (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6811). The
story may have changed now but we make --allow-shlib-undefined the
default for now. Its interaction with -shared can be discussed in the
future.

Guessing that the slashes used in the scripts SECTION command was causing the

Original commit message:
Small code model global variable access on PPC64 has a very limited range of
addressing. The instructions the relocations are used on add an offset in the
range [-0x8000, 0x7FFC] to the toc pointer which points to .got +0x8000, giving
an addressable range of [.got, .got + 0xFFFC]. While user code can be recompiled
with medium and large code models when the binary grows too large for small code
model, there are small code model relocations in the crt files and libgcc.a
which are typically shipped with the distros, and the ABI dictates that linkers
must allow linking of relocatable object files using different code models.
To minimze the chance of relocation overflow, any file that contains a small
code model relocation should have its .toc section placed closer to the .got
then any .toc from a file without small code model relocations.

ARM and AArch64 use TLS variant 1, where the first two words after the
thread pointer are reserved for the TCB, followed by the executable's TLS
segment. Both the thread pointer and the TLS segment are aligned to at
least the TLS segment's alignment.
Android/Bionic historically has not supported ELF TLS, and it has
allocated memory after the thread pointer for several Bionic TLS slots
(currently 9 but soon only 8). At least one of these allocations
(TLS_SLOT_STACK_GUARD == 5) is widespread throughout Android/AArch64
binaries and can't be changed.
To reconcile this disagreement about TLS memory layout, set the minimum
alignment for executable TLS segments to 8 words on ARM/AArch64, which
reserves at least 8 words of memory after the TP (2 for the ABI-specified
TCB and 6 for alignment padding). For simplicity, and because lld doesn't
know when it's targeting Android, increase the alignment regardless of
operating system.

On PowerPC64, when a function call offset is too large to encode in a call
instruction the address is stored in a table in the data segment. A thunk is
used to load the branch target address from the table relative to the
TOC-pointer and indirectly branch to the callee. When linking position-dependent
code the addresses are stored directly in the table, for position-independent
code the table is allocated and filled in at load time by the dynamic linker.
For position-independent code the branch targets could have gone in the .got.plt
but using the .branch_lt section for both position dependent and position
independent binaries keeps it consitent and helps keep this PPC64 specific logic
seperated from the target-independent code handling the .got.plt.

Summary:
During upgrading of the FreeBSD source tree with lld 7.0.0, I noticed
that it started complaining about `crt1.o` having an "index past the
end of the symbol table".
Such a symbol table looks approximately like this, viewed with `readelf
-s` (note the `Ndx` field being messed up):
```
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 4 entries:
Num: Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name
0: 00000000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT UND
1: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 1
2: 00000000 0 NOTYPE WEAK HIDDEN RSV[0xffff] __rel_iplt_end
3: 00000000 0 NOTYPE WEAK HIDDEN RSV[0xffff] __rel_iplt_start
```
At first, it seemed that recent ifunc relocation work had caused this:
<https://reviews.freebsd.org/rS339351>, but it turned out that it was
due to incorrect processing of the object files by lld, when using `-r`
(a.k.a. --relocatable).
Bisecting showed that rL324421 ("Convert a use of Config->Static") was
the commit where this new behavior began. Simply reverting it solved
the issue, and the `__rel_iplt` symbols had an index of `UND` again.
Looking at Rafael's commit message, I think he simply missed the
possibility of `--relocatable` being in effect, so I have added an
additional check for it.
I also added a simple regression test case.

Summary:
For --pack-dyn-relocs=android, finalizeSections calls
LinkerScript::assignAddresses and
AndroidPackedRelocationSection::updateAllocSize in a loop,
where assignAddresses lays out the ELF image, then updateAllocSize
determines the size of the Android packed relocation table by encoding it.
Encoding the table requires knowing the values of relocation addends.
To get the addend of a TLS relocation, updateAllocSize can call getSymVA
on a TLS symbol before setPhdrs has initialized Out::TlsPhdr, producing an
error:
<file> has an STT_TLS symbol but doesn't have an SHF_TLS section
Fix the problem by initializing Out::TlsPhdr immediately after the program
headers are created. The segment's p_vaddr field isn't initialized until
setPhdrs, so use FirstSec->Addr, which is what setPhdrs would use.
FirstSec will typically refer to the .tdata or .tbss output section, whose
(tentative) address was computed by assignAddresses.
Android currently avoids this problem because it uses emutls and doesn't
support ELF TLS. This problem doesn't apply to --pack-dyn-relocs=relr
because SHR_RELR only handles relative relocations without explicit addends
or info.

Older Arm architectures do not support the MOVT and MOVW instructions so we
must use an alternative sequence of instructions to transfer control to the
destination.
Assuming at least Armv5 this patch adds support for Thunks that load or add
to the program counter. Note that there are no Armv5 Thumb Thunks as there
is no Thumb branch instruction in Armv5 that supports Thunks. These thunks
will not work for Armv4t (arm7tdmi) as this architecture cannot change state
from using the LDR or ADD instruction.

It turns out that postThunkContents() is only used for
sorting symbols in .symtab.
Though we can instead move the logic to SymbolTableBaseSection::finalizeContents(),
postpone calling it and then get rid of postThunkContents completely.

Patch by PkmX.
This patch makes lld recognize RISC-V target and implements basic
relocation for RV32/RV64 (and RVC). This should be necessary for static
linking ELF applications.
The ABI documentation for RISC-V can be found at:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/master/riscv-elf.md.
Note that the documentation is far from complete so we had to figure out
some details from bfd.
The patch should be pretty straightforward. Some highlights:
- A new relocation Expr R_RISCV_PC_INDIRECT is added. This is needed as
the low part of a PC-relative relocation is linked to the corresponding
high part (auipc), see:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/master/riscv-elf.md#pc-relative-symbol-addresses
- LLVM's MC support for RISC-V is very incomplete (we are working on
this), so tests are given in objectyaml format with the original
assembly included in the comments. Once we have complete support for
RISC-V in MC, we can switch to llvm-as/llvm-objdump.
- We don't support linker relaxation for now as it requires greater
changes to lld that is beyond the scope of this patch. Once this is
accepted we can start to work on adding relaxation to lld.

Summary:
This adds an LLD flag to mark executable LOAD segments execute-only for AArch64 targets.
In AArch64 the expectation is that code is execute-only compatible, so this just adds a linker option to enforce this.

This is a part of ttps://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=38119
We produce broken ELF header now when the number of output sections is >= SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00).
ELF spec says (http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/2003-12-17/ch4.eheader.html):
e_shnum:
If the number of sections is greater than or equal to SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00), this member has the value zero
and the actual number of section header table entries is contained in the sh_size field of the section header at index 0.
(Otherwise, the sh_size member of the initial entry contains 0.)
e_shstrndx
If the section name string table section index is greater than or equal to SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00), this member has the
value SHN_XINDEX (0xffff) and the actual index of the section name string table section is contained in the sh_link field of
the section header at index 0. (Otherwise, the sh_link member of the initial entry contains 0.)
We did not set these fields correctly earlier. The patch fixes the issue.

This patch merges createGdbIndex function and GdbIndexSection's
constructor into a single static member function of the class.
This patch also change how we keep CU vectors. Previously, CuVector
and GdbSymbols were parallel arrays, but there's no reason to choose that
design. Now, CuVector is a member of GdbSymbol class.
A lot of members are removed from GdbIndexSection. Previously, it has
members that need to be kept in sync over several phases. I belive the new
design is less error-prone, and the new code is much easier to read
than before.

Before, direct calls to __wrap_sym would not map to valid PLT entries,
so they would crash at runtime. This change maps such calls to the same

Patch by Rahul Chaudhry!
This change adds experimental support for SHT_RELR sections, proposed
here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/generic-abi/bX460iggiKg
Pass '--pack-dyn-relocs=relr' to enable generation of SHT_RELR section
and DT_RELR, DT_RELRSZ, and DT_RELRENT dynamic tags.
Definitions for the new ELF section type and dynamic array tags, as well
as the encoding used in the new section are all under discussion and are
subject to change. Use with caution!
Pass '--use-android-relr-tags' with '--pack-dyn-relocs=relr' to use
SHT_ANDROID_RELR section type instead of SHT_RELR, as well as
DT_ANDROID_RELR* dynamic tags instead of DT_RELR*. The generated
section contents are identical.
'--pack-dyn-relocs=android+relr --use-android-relr-tags' enables both
'--pack-dyn-relocs=android' and '--pack-dyn-relocs=relr': lld will
encode the relative relocations in a SHT_ANDROID_RELR section, and pack
the rest of the dynamic relocations in a SHT_ANDROID_REL(A) section.

This is PR36768.
Linker script OVERLAYs are described in 4.6.9. Overlay Description of the spec:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/4/html/Using_ld_the_GNU_Linker/sections.html
They are used to allow output sections which have different LMAs but the same VAs
and used for embedded programming.
Currently, LLD restricts overlapping of sections and that seems to be the most desired
behaviour for defaults. My thoughts about possible approaches for PR36768 are on the bug page,
this patch implements OVERLAY keyword and allows VAs overlapping for sections that within the overlay.

Summary:
Currently when --no-rosegment is specified or a linker script with SECTIONS command is used,
.rodata (A) .text (AX) are assigned the same rank and .rodata may be placed after .text .
This increases the gap between .text and .bss and can cause pc-relative relocation overflow (e.g. gcc crtbegin.o crtbegin.S have R_X86_64_PC32 relocation from .text to .bss).
This patch makes SingleRoRx affect only segment layout, not section layout. As a consequence, .rodata will be placed before .text regardless of SingleRoRx.

Almost all entries inside MIPS GOT are referenced by signed 16-bit
index. Zero entry lies approximately in the middle of the GOT. So the
total number of GOT entries cannot exceed ~16384 for 32-bit architecture
and ~8192 for 64-bit architecture. This limitation makes impossible to
link rather large application like for example LLVM+Clang. There are two
workaround for this problem. The first one is using the -mxgot
compiler's flag. It enables using a 32-bit index to access GOT entries.
But each access requires two assembly instructions two load GOT entry
index to a register. Another workaround is multi-GOT. This patch
implements it.
Here is a brief description of multi-GOT for detailed one see the
following link https://dmz-portal.mips.com/wiki/MIPS_Multi_GOT.
If the sum of local, global and tls entries is less than 64K only single
got is enough. Otherwise, multi-got is created. Series of primary and
multiple secondary GOTs have the following layout:
```
- Primary GOT
Header
Local entries
Global entries
Relocation only entries
TLS entries
- Secondary GOT
Local entries
Global entries
TLS entries
...
```
All GOT entries required by relocations from a single input file
entirely belong to either primary or one of secondary GOTs. To reference
GOT entries each GOT has its own _gp value points to the "middle" of the
GOT. In the code this value loaded to the register which is used for GOT
access.
MIPS 32 function's prologue:
```
lui v0,0x0
0: R_MIPS_HI16 _gp_disp
addiu v0,v0,0
4: R_MIPS_LO16 _gp_disp
```
MIPS 64 function's prologue:
```
lui at,0x0
14: R_MIPS_GPREL16 main
```
Dynamic linker does not know anything about secondary GOTs and cannot
use a regular MIPS mechanism for GOT entries initialization. So we have
to use an approach accepted by other architectures and create dynamic
relocations R_MIPS_REL32 to initialize global entries (and local in case
of PIC code) in secondary GOTs. But ironically MIPS dynamic linker
requires GOT entries and correspondingly ordered dynamic symbol table
entries to deal with dynamic relocations. To handle this problem
relocation-only section in the primary GOT contains entries for all
symbols referenced in global parts of secondary GOTs. Although the sum
of local and normal global entries of the primary got should be less
than 64K, the size of the primary got (including relocation-only entries
can be greater than 64K, because parts of the primary got that overflow
the 64K limit are used only by the dynamic linker at dynamic link-time
and not by 16-bit gp-relative addressing at run-time.
The patch affects common LLD code in the following places:
- Added new hidden -mips-got-size flag. This flag required to set low
maximum size of a single GOT to be able to test the implementation using
small test cases.
- Added InputFile argument to the getRelocTargetVA function. The same
symbol referenced by GOT relocation from different input file might be
allocated in different GOT. So result of relocation depends on the file.
- Added new ctor to the DynamicReloc class. This constructor records
settings of dynamic relocation which used to adjust address of 64kb page
lies inside a specific output section.
With the patch LLD is able to link all LLVM+Clang+LLD applications and
libraries for MIPS 32/64 targets.

PPC64 maintains a compiler managed got in the .toc section. When accessing a
global variable through got-indirect access, a .toc entry is created for the
variable. The relocation for the got-indirect access will refer to the .toc
section rather than the symbol that is actually accessed. The .toc entry
contains the address of the global variable. We evaluate the offset from
r2 (which is the TOC base) to the address of the toc entry for the global
variable. Currently, the .toc is not near the .got. This causes errors because
the offset from r2 to the toc section is too large. The linker needs to add
all the .toc input sections to the .got output section, merging the compiler
managed got with the linker got. This ensures that the offsets from the TOC
base to the toc entries are not too large.
This patch puts the .toc section right after the .got section.

This CL is to mitigate R_X86_64_PC32 relocation overflow problems for huge binaries that has near 4G allocated sections.
By examining those binaries, there're 2 issues contributes to the problem:
1). huge ".dynsym" and ".dynstr" stands in the way between .rodata and .text
2). _init_array_start/end are placed at 0 if no ".init_array" presents, this causes .text relocation against them become more prone to overflow.
This CL addresses 1st problem (the 2nd will be addressed in another CL.) by assigning a smaller sortrank to .dynsym and .dynstr thus they no longer stand in between.

A non-alloc note section should not have a PT_NOTE program header.
Found while linking ghc (Haskell compiler) with lld on FreeBSD.
ghc emits a .debug-ghc-link-info note section (as the name suggests, it
contains link information) as a SHT_NOTE section without SHF_ALLOC set.
For this case ld.bfd does not emit a PT_NOTE segment for the
.debug-ghc-link-info section. lld previously emitted a PT_NOTE with
p_vaddr = 0 and FreeBSD's rtld segfaulted when trying to parse a note at
address 0.
