I attempted to remove it 1 or 2 year ago but kept it just to have a good
diagnostic in case the output section is nullptr (should be impossible).
It is long enough that we haven't seen such a case.
Fix r285764: there is no guarantee that Out::first is placed before other
static data members of `struct Out`. After `bufferStart` was introduced, this
out-of-bounds write is destined in many compilers. It is likely benign, though.
And move `Out::elfHeader->size` assignment beside `Out::elfHeader->sectionIndex`
For -z separate-code and -z separate-loadable-segments:
When RW is present, the RX to RW transition is aligned with max-page-size.
When RW is absent, the RX to non-SHF_ALLOC transition should use max-page-size as well.
Currently, LLD does not support the complete set of ARM group relocations.
Given that I intend to start using these in the Linux kernel [0], let's add
support for these.
This implements the group processing as documented in the ELF psABI. Notably,
this means support is dropped for very far symbol references that also carry a
small component, where the immediate is rotated in such a way that only part of
it wraps to the other end of the 32-bit word. To me, it seems unlikely that
this is something anyone could be relying on, but of course I could be wrong.

This allows --power10-stubs= and --[no-]power10-stubs to override each other
(they are position dependent in GNU ld).
Also improve --help messages and the manpage.
Note: GNU ld's default "auto" mode uses heuristics to decide whether Power10
instructions are used. Arguably it is a design mistake of R_PPC64_REL24_NOTOC
(acked by the relevant folks on a libc-alpha discussion). We don't implement
"auto", so the default --power10-stubs is the same as "yes".
The canonical term is "extract" (GNU ld documentation, Solaris's `-z *extract`
options). Avoid inventing a term and match --why-extract. (ld64 prefers "load"
but the word is overloaded too much)
Mostly MFC, except for --help messages and the header row in
--print-archive-stats output.
BaseCommand was picked when PHDRS/INSERT/etc were not implemented. Rename it to
SectionCommand to match `sectionCommands` and make it clear that the commands
are used in SECTIONS (except a special case for SymbolAssignment).
Also, improve naming of some BaseCommand variables (base -> cmd).
This partially reverts r315409: the description applies to LinkerScript, but not
to OutputSection.
The name "sectionCommands" is used in both LinkerScript::sectionCommands and
OutputSection::sectionCommands, which may lead to confusion.
"commands" in OutputSection has no ambiguity because there are no other types
of commands.
The attribute 'r' allows (or disallows for the negative case) read-only
sections, i.e. ones without the SHF_WRITE flag, to be assigned to the
memory region. Before the patch, lld could put a section in the wrong
region or fail with "error: no memory region specified for section".

The current TLSDESC optimization code assumes:
```
leaq x@tlsdesc(%rip), %rax
call *x@tlscall(%rax) # adjacent
```
From https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5665 , it seems that the
two instructions may not be adjacent in GCC 10's output:
```
leaq x@tlsdesc(%rip), %rax
something else
call *x@tlscall(%rax)
```
This patch supports the case. While here, support non-RAX registers for
R_X86_64_GOTPC32_TLSDESC, in case the compiler generates inefficient:
```
leaq x@tlsdesc(%rip), %rcx # or %rdx, %rbx, %rdi, ...
movq %rcx, %rax
call *x@tlscall(%rax) # GNU ld/gold error for non-RAX
```

When aligning the start address of an output section introduces a gap between the current dot pointer
and the new aligned address, we were already properly expanding the memory region, if available.
D74286 introduced a new behavior to also align the LMA address if an LMA region is specified.
However, this did not expand the corresponding LMA region.
Now, we also expand the LMA region if it is set.
This fixes PR52510.

Non-allocatable sections are not part of the memory image of the
program, so there is no need to find memory regions for them either
matching properties or handling explicit assignments. The early test
and return help to simplify LinkerScript::findMemoryRegion() a bit.

This brings back the original version of D81359.
I have found several use cases now.
* Unlike GNU ld, LLD's relocation processing is one pass. If we decide to
optimize(relax) R_X86_64_{,REX_}GOTPCRELX, we will suppress GOT generation and
cannot undo the decision later. Optimizing R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX can usually
make it easy to hit `relocation R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX out of range` because
the distance to GOT is usually shorter. Without --no-relax, the user has to
recompile with `-Wa,-mrelax-relocations=no`.
* The option would help during my investigationg of the root cause of https://git.kernel.org/linus/09e43968db40c33a73e9ddbfd937f46d5c334924
* There is need for relaxation for AArch64 & RISC-V. Implementing this for
x86-64 improves consistency with little target-specific cost (two-line
X86_64.cpp change).

An orphan section should be placed in the same memory region as its
anchor section if the latter specifies the memory region explicitly.
If there is no explicit assignment for the anchor section in the linker
script, its memory region is selected by matching attributes, and the
same should be done for the orphan section.
Before the patch, some scripts that were handled smoothly in GNU ld
caused an "error: no memory region specified for section" in lld.

This reverts commit 5cbec88cbf.
Vitaly said that 2faac77f26 actually works.
Sanitizer's armv7-linux-androideabi24 configuration has other issues which haven't been identified yet, but that's unrelated to the empty symbol name issue.
The "symbol 'foo' has no type" diagnostic tries to inform that copy
relocation/canonical PLT entry cannot be used, but the diagnostic is often
incorrect and confusing.
The hint does not pull its weight:
* adding -Wl,-z,notext often won't work (relocation types other than `symbolRel`, e.g. `R_AARCH64_LDST32_ABS_LO12_NC`)
* for pure (no assembly) C/C++ projects, the "-fPIC" hint is sufficient
