Similarly to how undefined symbol diagnostics were changed in D128184,
we now show where in the source file duplicate symbols are defined at:
ld64.lld: error: duplicate symbol: _foo
>> defined in bar.c:42
>> /path/to/bar.o
>> defined in baz.c:1
>> /path/to/libbaz.a(baz.o)
For objects that don't contain DWARF data, the format is unchanged.
A slight difference to undefined symbol diagnostics is that we don't
print the name of the symbol on the third line, as it's already
contained on the first line.

{D123302} got me looking deeper at `includeInSymtab`. I thought it was a
little odd that there were excluded (live) symbols for which
`includeInSymtab` was false; we shouldn't have so many different ways to
exclude a symbol. As such, this diff makes the `L`-prefixed-symbol
exclusion code use `includeInSymtab` too. (Note that as part of our
support for `__eh_frame`, we will also be excluding all `__eh_frame`
symbols from the symtab in a future diff.)
Another thing I noticed is that the `emitStabs` code never has to deal
with excluded symbols because `SymtabSection::finalize()` already
filters them out. As such, I've updated the comments and asserts from
{D123302} to reflect this.

All references to interposable symbols can be redirected at runtime to
point to a different symbol definition (with the same name). For
example, if both dylib A and B define symbol _foo, and we load A before
B at runtime, then all references to _foo within dylib B will point to
the definition in dylib A.
ld64 makes all extern symbols interposable when linking with
`-flat_namespace`.
TODO 1: Support `-interposable` and `-interposable_list`, which should
just be a matter of parsing those CLI flags and setting the
`Defined::interposable` bit.
TODO 2: Set Reloc::FinalDefinitionInLinkageUnit correctly with this info

As discussed in https://reviews.llvm.org/D113809#3128636. It's a bit
unfortunate to move the asserts away from the structs whose sizes
they're checking, but it's a far better developer experience when one of
the asserts is violated, because you get a single error instead of every
single source file including the header erroring out.
We can lay out Symbol more optimally to reduce its size from 56 bytes to
48 bytes by eliminating unnecessary padding, and we can lay out Defined
such that its bitfield members are placed in the tail padding of Symbol
(on ABIs which support this), to reduce it from 96 bytes to 80 bytes (8
bytes from the Symbol reduction, and 8 bytes from the tail padding
reuse).

Compact unwind entries (CUEs) contain pointers to their respective
function symbols. However, during the link process, it's far more useful
to have pointers from the function symbol to the CUE than vice versa.
This diff adds that pointer in the form of `Defined::compactUnwind`.
In particular, when doing dead-stripping, we want to mark CUEs live when
their function symbol is live; and when doing ICF, we want to dedup
sections iff the symbols in that section have identical CUEs. In both
cases, we want to be able to locate the symbols within a given section,
as well as locate the CUEs belonging to those symbols. So this diff also
adds `InputSection::symbols`.
The ultimate goal of this refactor is to have ICF support dedup'ing
functions with unwind info, but that will be handled in subsequent
diffs. This diff focuses on simplifying `-dead_strip` --
`findFunctionsWithUnwindInfo` is no longer necessary, and
`Defined::isLive()` is now a lot simpler. Moreover, UnwindInfoSection no
longer has to check for dead CUEs -- we simply avoid adding them in the
first place.
Additionally, we now support stripping of dead LSDAs, which follows
quite naturally since `markLive()` can now reach them via the CUEs.

`outSecFileOff` and the associated `getFileOffset()` accessors were
unnecessary.
For all the cases we care about, `outSecFileOff` is the same as
`outSecOff`. The only time they deviate is if there are zerofill
sections within a given segment. But since zerofill sections are always
at the end of a segment, the only sections where the two values deviate
are zerofill sections themselves. And we never actually query the
outSecFileOff of zerofill sections.
As for `getFileOffset()`, the only place it was being used was to
calculate the offset of the entry symbol. However, we can compute that
value by just taking the difference between the address of the entry
symbol and the address of the Mach-O header. In fact, this appears to be
what ld64 itself does. This difference is the same as the file offset as
long as there are no intervening zerofill sections, but since `__text`
is the first section in `__TEXT`, this never happens, so our previous
use of `getFileOffset()` was not wrong -- just inefficient.

Our implementation draws heavily from LLD-ELF's, which in turn delegates
its string deduplication to llvm-mc's StringTableBuilder. The messiness of
this diff is largely due to the fact that we've previously assumed that
all InputSections get concatenated together to form the output. This is
no longer true with CStringInputSections, which split their contents into
StringPieces. StringPieces are much more lightweight than InputSections,
which is important as we create a lot of them. They may also overlap in
the output, which makes it possible for strings to be tail-merged. In
fact, the initial version of this diff implemented tail merging, but
I've dropped it for reasons I'll explain later.
**Alignment Issues**
Mergeable cstring literals are found under the `__TEXT,__cstring`
section. In contrast to ELF, which puts strings that need different
alignments into different sections, clang's Mach-O backend puts them all
in one section. Strings that need to be aligned have the `.p2align`
directive emitted before them, which simply translates into zero padding
in the object file.
I *think* ld64 extracts the desired per-string alignment from this data
by preserving each string's offset from the last section-aligned
address. I'm not entirely certain since it doesn't seem consistent about
doing this; but perhaps this can be chalked up to cases where ld64 has
to deduplicate strings with different offset/alignment combos -- it
seems to pick one of their alignments to preserve. This doesn't seem
correct in general; we can in fact can induce ld64 to produce a crashing
binary just by linking in an additional object file that only contains
cstrings and no code. See PR50563 for details.
Moreover, this scheme seems rather inefficient: since unaligned and
aligned strings are all put in the same section, which has a single
alignment value, it doesn't seem possible to tell whether a given string
doesn't have any alignment requirements. Preserving offset+alignments
for strings that don't need it is wasteful.
In practice, the crashes seen so far seem to stem from x86_64 SIMD
operations on cstrings. X86_64 requires SIMD accesses to be
16-byte-aligned. So for now, I'm thinking of just aligning all strings
to 16 bytes on x86_64. This is indeed wasteful, but implementation-wise
it's simpler than preserving per-string alignment+offsets. It also
avoids the aforementioned crash after deduplication of
differently-aligned strings. Finally, the overhead is not huge: using
16-byte alignment (vs no alignment) is only a 0.5% size overhead when
linking chromium_framework.
With these alignment requirements, it doesn't make sense to attempt tail
merging -- most strings will not be eligible since their overlaps aren't
likely to start at a 16-byte boundary. Tail-merging (with alignment) for
chromium_framework only improves size by 0.3%.
It's worth noting that LLD-ELF only does tail merging at `-O2`. By
default (at `-O1`), it just deduplicates w/o tail merging. @thakis has
also mentioned that they saw it regress compressed size in some cases
and therefore turned it off. `ld64` does not seem to do tail merging at
all.
**Performance Numbers**
CString deduplication reduces chromium_framework from 250MB to 242MB, or
about a 3.2% reduction.

This interacts with many parts of the linker. I tried to add test coverage

in the test). Interacts with:
- debug info
- export tries
- import opcodes
- flags like -exported_symbol(s_list)
- -U / dynamic_lookup
- mod_init_funcs, mod_term_funcs
- weak symbol handling
- unwind info
- stubs
- map files
- -sectcreate
- undefined, dylib, common, defined (both absolute and normal) symbols
It's possible it interacts with more features I didn't think of,
of course.
I also did some manual testing:
- check-llvm check-clang check-lld work with lld with this patch
as host linker and -dead_strip enabled
- Chromium still starts
- Chromium's base_unittests still pass, including unwind tests
Implemenation-wise, this is InputSection-based, so it'll work for
object files with .subsections_via_symbols (which includes all
object files generated by clang). I first based this on the COFF
implementation, but later realized that things are more similar to ELF.
I think it'd be good to refactor MarkLive.cpp to look more like the ELF
part at some point, but I'd like to get a working state checked in first.
Mechanical parts:
- Rename canOmitFromOutput to wasCoalesced (no behavior change)
since it really is for weak coalesced symbols
- Add noDeadStrip to Defined, corresponding to N_NO_DEAD_STRIP

Currently, we're able to generate a simple "Hello World!" executable

`test/MachO/relocations.s`.) We're mocking out a few load commands to
achieve this -- for example, we can't load dynamic libraries, but
Catalina requires binaries to be linked against `dyld`, so we hardcode
the emission of a `LC_LOAD_DYLIB` command. Other mocked out load
commands include LC_SYMTAB and LC_DYSYMTAB.
