Unlike gold, bfd, gas or MC we were putting exidx sections first since
they are ro.
The spec doesn't explicitly say that they must come after, but it is
definitely more convenient for the consumer, matches other producers
and matches other areas in ELF (like SHT_GROUP) where sections are
ordered in a natural way.

We would create a MergeInputSection for the synthetic .comment and
crash trying to add it to a regular output section.
With this we just don't add the synthetic section with -r. That is

-r.

Compilers emits .comment section as well, so the output contains
both compiler and linker information.
Alternative considered:
I first tried to add a SHT_NOTE section because GNU gold does that.
A NOTE section starts with a header which contains content type.
It turned out that ld.gold sets type NT_GNU_GOLD_VERSION to their
NOTE section. So the NOTE type is only for GNU gold (surprise!)
Next, I tried to create ".linker-version" section. However, it seems
that reusing the existing ".comment" section is better because 1)
other tools already know about .comment section and is able to strip
it and 2) the result contans not only linker info but also compiler
info.

Relocations are the last thing that we wore storing a raw section
pointer to and parsing on demand.
With this patch we parse it only once and store a pointer to the
actual data.
The patch also changes where we store it. It is now in
InputSectionBase. Not all sections have relocations, but most do and
this simplifies the logic. It also means that we now only support one
relocation section per section. Given that that constraint is
maintained even with -r with gold bfd and lld, I think it is OK.

Though the patch was technically correct,

Patch allows to pass a symbols file to linker.
LLD will map symbols to sections and sort sections
in output according to symbol ordering file.
That can help to reduce the startup time and/or
amount of pagefaults during startup.
Also, interesting benchmark result was produced by Rafael Espíndola.
After applying the symbols file for clang he timed compiling
X86MCTargetDesc.ii to an object file.
The page faults went from just
56,988 to 56,946 since most faults are not in the binary.
Running time went from 4.403053515 to 4.178112244.
The speedup seems to be because of better cache

Previously, we have both input and output section for .MIPS.abiflags.

In short the patch introduces support for linking object file conform
MIPS N32 ABI [1]. This ABI is similar to N64 ABI but uses 32-bit
pointer size.
The most non-trivial requirement of this ABI is one more relocation
packing format. N64 ABI puts multiple relocation type into the single
relocation record. The N32 ABI uses series of successive relocations
with the same offset for this purpose. In this patch, new function
`mergeMipsN32RelTypes` handle this case and "convert" N32 relocation to
the N64 relocation so the rest of the code keep unchanged.
For now, linker does not support series of relocations applied to sections
without SHF_ALLOC bit. Probably later I will add the support or insert
some sort of assert into the `relocateNonAlloc` routine to catch this
case.

Previously, we added strings from DynamicSection::finalize().
It was a bit tricky because finalize() is supposed to fix the final
size of the section, but adding new strings would change the size of
.dynstr section. So there was a dependency between finalize functions
of .dynamic and .dynstr.
However, I noticed that we can elimiante the dependency by simply
add strings early; we don't have to do that in finalize() but can do
from DynamicSection's ctor.
This patch defines a new function, DynamicSection::addEntries, to
add .dynamic entries that doesn't depend on other sections.

The example reported in PR30793 shows a case where gc reclaims
a SHF_TLS section, but it doesn't reclaim the section containing

This is expected, as we do not reclaim non-alloc sections
during the garbage collection phase (and this is not going to
change anytime soon, at least this is what I gathered last I
talked with Rafael about it).
So, we end up with a pending reference, thinking that the input
was invalid (which is not true, as it's GC that removed the
SHT_TLS section, and therefore didn't create the PT_TLS *segment*
for it). In cases like this, just assign a VA of zero at relocation
time instead of error'ing out (this is what gold does as well, FWIW).

There is still more work to track absoluteness over the various

llvm-svn: 285641
We parse linker scripts very early, but whether an expression is
absolute or not can depend on a symbol defined in a .o. Given that, we
have to delay the computation of IsAbsolute. We can do that by storing
an AST when parsing or by also making IsAbsolute a function like we do
for the expression value. This patch implements the second option.

Instead of storing a pointer, store the members we need.
The reason for doing this is that it makes it far easier to create

times., which might help with cross endian linking and host
architectures with slow unaligned access.
There are obvious compacting opportunities, but this already has mixed
results even on native x86_64 linking.
There is also the possibility of better refactoring the code for

not necessary.

We were previously using the (static) addSynthetic function to create

creating it in that case would have no effect other than adding another

Some MIPS relocations used to access GOT entries are able to manipulate
16-bit index. The other ones like R_MIPS_CALL_HI16/LO16 can handle
32-bit indexes. 16-bit relocations are generated by default. The 32-bit
relocations are generated by -mxgot flag passed to compiler. Usually
these relocation are not mixed in the same code but files like crt*.o
contain 16-bit relocations so even if all "user's" code compiled with
-mxgot flag a few 16-bit relocations might come to the linking phase.
Now LLD does not differentiate local GOT entries accessed via a 16-bit
and 32-bit indexes. That might lead to relocation's overflow if 16-bit
entries are allocated to far from the beginning of the GOT.
The patch introduces new "part" of MIPS GOT dedicated to the local GOT
entries accessed by 32-bit relocations. That allows to put local GOT
entries accessed via a 16-bit index first and escape relocation's overflow.

Summary:
The rules for quoting the command line that a subprocess receives are
user space conventions implemented by the C runtime. Python's quoting
rules are implemented here:
c30098c8c6/Lib/subprocess.py (L725)
The result is that the final command line C string computed by Python is
'echo \"'. Mingw doesn't appear to interpret that backslash as escaping
the quote because it is not already inside a quoted region. As a result,
our echo command prints a single backslash instead of a quote.
The whole issue can be sidestepped by adding a space a forcing Python to
put the argument to echo in double quotes.

Most functions that return StringRef should check their return values,
so I'm planning on marking StringRef [[nodiscard]]. This requires
splitting up functions like next() that are sometimes just used for
side effects.

While the toStringRef API almost certainly ends up populating the
SmallString here, the correct way to use this API is to use the return
value.

PT_OPENBSD_RANDOMIZE
The array element specifies the location and size of a part of the memory image of the program that must be filled with random data before any code in the object is executed. The memory region specified by a segment of this type may overlap the region specified by a PT_GNU_RELRO segment, in which case the intersection will be filled with random data before being marked read-only.

Issue was revealed by AFl and I was able to generate such object using yaml2obj.
When object has more than one SHT_MIPS_OPTIONS,
each except the last one is destroyed after placing into Sections array.
Sections array contains dead pointers finally. LLD may crash then.

-z wxneeded creates a PHDR PT_OPENBSD_WXNEEDED.
PT_OPENBSD_WXNEEDED
The array element specifies that a process executing this file may need to be able to map or protect memory regions as simultaneously executable and writable. If the system is unable or unwilling to permit that for this executable then it may fail immediately. This segment type is meaningful only for executable files and is ignored in other objects.
