Linker should create _imp_ symbols for local use only when such
symbols cannot be resolved in any other way. If it overrides real
imported symbols, such symbols remain virtually unresolved without
error, causing odd issues. I observed that a program linked with
LLD entered an infinite loop before reaching main() because of
this issue.
This patch moves the virtual file creating _imp_ symbols to the
very end of the input file list. Previously, the file is at the end
of the library file group. Linker might revisit the group many times,
so it was not really at the end of the input file list.

1. Re-implement PLT entries and dynamic relocations emitting to keep PLT
and relocations table in a consistent state.
2. Initialize st_value and st_other fields for dynamic symbols table
entry if this entry corresponds to an external function which address is
taken in a non-PIC executable. In that case the st_value field holds an
address of the function's PLT entry. Also set STO_MIPS_PLT bit in the
st_other field.

Implicit symbol for local use implemented in r207141 was not fully
compatible with MSVC link.exe. In r207141, I implemented the feature
in such way that implicit symbols are defined only when they are
exported with /EXPORT option.
After that I found that implicit symbols are defined not only for
dllexported symbols but for all defined symbols. Actually _imp_
implicit symbols have no relationship with the dllexport feature. You
could add _imp_ to any symbol to get a pointer to the symbol, whether
the symbol is dllexported or not. It looks pretty weird to me but
that's what we want if link.exe behaves that way.
Here is a bit about the implementation: Creating all implicit symbols
beforehand is going to be a huge waste of resource. This feature is
rarely used, and MSVC link.exe even prints out a warning message when
it finds this feature is being used. So we create implicit symbols
on demand. There is an archive file that creates implicit symbols when
they are needed.

I'm a bit surprised that I have not implemented this yet. This is
definitely needed to handle real-world module definition files.

I'm fixing another bug in the parser, and I wanted to submit this

This patch is to fix a compatibility issue with MSVC link.exe as to
use of dllexported symbols inside DLL.
A DLL exports two symbols for a function. One is non-decorated one,
and the other is with __imp_ prefix. The former is a function that
you can directly call, and the latter is a pointer to the function.
These dllexported symbols are created by linker for programs that
link against the DLL. So, I naturally believed that __imp_ symbols
become available when you once create a DLL and link against it, but
they don't exist until then. And that's not true.
MSVC link.exe is smart enough to allow users to use __imp_ symbols
locally. That is, if a symbol is specified with /export option, it
implicitly creates a new symbol with __imp_ prefix as a pointer to
the exported symbol. This feature allows the following program to
be linked and run, although _imp__hello is not defined in this code.
#include <stdio.h>
__declspec(dllexport)
void hello(void) { printf("Hello\n"); }
extern void (*_imp__hello)(void);
int main() {
_imp__hello();
return 0;
}
MSVC link.exe prints out the following warning when linking it.
LNK4217: locally defined symbol _hello imported in function _main
Using __imp_ symbols locally is I think not a good coding style. One
should just take an address using "&" operator rather than appending
__imp_ prefix. However, there are programs in the wild that depends
on this link.exe's behavior, so we need this feature.

Not all symbols are decorated with an underscore in x86. You can
write undecorated symbols in assembly, for example. Thus this
assertion is too strong.

We don't use sections with IMAGE_SYM_DEBUG attribute so we basically
want to the symbols for them when reading symbol table. When we skip
them, we need to skip auxiliary symbols too. Otherwise weird error
would happen because aux symbols would be interpreted as regular ones.

Previously LLD would fail if /OPT:icf, /OPT:lbr or such are specified,
because these command line flags would be handled as unknown ones. We
rather want LLD to ignore these known but yet-to-be-implemented options
for now.
Added tests for the driver as well.

/ignore:<number> is a linker option to disable warning specified by

LLD.

Currently LLD supports --defsym only in the form of
--defsym=<symbol>=<integer>, where the integer is interpreted as the
absolute address of the symbol. This patch extends it to allow other
symbol name to be given as an RHS value. If a RHS value is a symbol
name, the LHS symbol will be defined as an alias for the RHS symbol.
Internally, a LHS symbol is represented as a zero-size defined atom
who has an LayoutAfter reference to an undefined atom, whose name is
the RHS value. Everything else is already implemented -- Resolver
will resolve the undefined symbol, and the layout pass will layout
the two atoms at the same location. Looks like it's working fine.
Note that GNU LD supports --defsym=<symbol>=<symbol>+<addend>. That
feature is out of scope of this patch.

a couple of new virtual functions.
Follow-up to the rL203408. Two virtual functions `createRelocationReference()`
responsible for creation of `ELFReference` have been replaced by a couple of
new virtual functions `createRelocationReferences()` (plural). Each former
function creates a //single// ELFReference for a specified `Elf_Rela`
or `Elf_Rel` relocation records. The new functions responsible for creation
of //all// relocation references for provided symbol.
For all targets except MIPS there are no functional changes.
MIPS ABI has a notion of //paired// relocations. An effective addend of such
relocations are calculated using addends of both pair's members.
Each `R_MIPS_HI16` and `R_MIPS_GOT16` (for local symbols) relocations must have
an associated `R_MIPS_LO16` entry immediately following it in the list
of relocations. Immediately does not mean "next record" in relocations section
but "next record referenced the same symbol". Moreover a single `R_MIPS_LO16`
relocation can be paired with multiple preceding `R_MIPS_HI16/R_MIPS_GOT16`
relocations.
The paired relocation can have offsets belong to the different symbols.
That is why we need to have access to list of all relocations during
construction of `ELFReference` for MIPS target.

ELFLinkingContext has a method addUndefinedAtomsFromSharedLibrary().
The method is being used to skip a shared library within --start-group
and --end-group if it's not the first iteration of the group.
We have the same, incomplete mechanism to skip a shared library within
a group too. That's implemented in ELFFileNode. It's intended to not
return a shared library on the second or further iterations in the
first place. This mechanism is preferred over
addUndefinedAtomsFromSharedLibrary because the policy is implemented
in Input Graph -- that's what Input Graph is for.
This patch removes the dupluicate feature and fixes ELFFileNode.

An ordinal is set to each child of Input Graph, but no one actually
uses it. The only piece of code that gets ordinaly values is
sortInputElements in InputGraph.cpp, but it does not actually do
anything -- we assign ordinals in increasing order just before
calling sort, so when sort is called it's already sorted. It's no-op.
We can simply remove it. No functionality change.

Resolver is sending too much information to Input Graph than Input
Graph actually needs. In order to collect the detailed information,
which wouldn't be consumed by anyone, we have a good amount of code
in Resolver, Input Graph and Input Elements. This patch is to
simplify it. No functionality change.
Specifically, this patch replaces ResolverState enum with a boolean
value. The enum defines many bits to notify the progress about
linking to Input Graph using bit masks, however, what Input Graph
actually does is to compare a given value with 0. The details of
the bit mask is simply being ignored, so the efforts to collect
such data is wasted.
This patch also changes the name of the notification interface from
setResolverState to notifyProgress, to make it sounds more like
message passing style. It's not a setter but something to notify of
an update, so the new name should be more appropriate than before.
