Placeholders (-y and redirectSymbols removed versioned symbols) are very rare and
the check just makes symbol table iteration slower. Most iterations filter out
placeholders anyway, so this change just drops the filter behavior.
For "Add symbols to symtabs", we need to ensure that redirectSymbols sets
isUsedInRegularObj to false when making a symbol placeholder, to avoid an
assertion failure in SymbolTableSection<ELFT>::writeTo.
My .text is 2KiB smaller. The speed-up linking chrome is 0.x%.
"Process symbol versions" may take 2+% time.
"Redirect symbols" may take 0.6% time.
This change speeds up the two passes and makes `*sym.getVersionSuffix()
== '@'` in the `undefined reference` diagnostic cleaner.
Linking chrome (no debug info) and another large program is 1.5% faster.
For empty-ver2.s: the behavior now matches GNU ld, though I'd consider the input
invalid and the exact behavior does not matter.
This temporarily increases sizeof(SymbolUnion), but allows us to mov GOT/PLT/etc
index members outside Symbol in the future.
Then, we can make TLSDESC and TLSGD use different indexes and support mixed
TLSDESC and TLSGD (tested by x86-64-tlsdesc-gd-mixed.s).
Note: needsTlsGd and needsTlsGdToIe may optionally be combined.
Test updates are due to reordered GOT entries.
It is fairly easy to forget SectionBase::repl after ICF.
Let ICF rewrite a Defined symbol's `section` field to avoid references to
SectionBase::repl in subsequent passes. This slightly improves the --icf=none
performance due to less indirection (maybe for --icf={safe,all} as well if most
symbols are Defined).
With this change, there is only one reference to `repl` (--gdb-index D89751).
We can undo f4fb5fd752 (`Move Repl to SectionBase.`)
but move `repl` to `InputSection` instead.

Try to revert D113741 once again.
This also reverts 0ac75e82ff (D114705)
as it causes LLDB's lldb-api.lang/cpp/nsimport.TestCppNsImport.py test
failure w/o D113741.
This reverts commit f9607d45f3.

I added `PPC32Got2Section` D62464 to support .got2 but did not implement .got2
in another output section.
PR52799 has a linker script placing .got2 in .rodata, which causes a null
pointer dereference because a MergeSyntheticSection's file is nullptr.
Add the support.
The new `lazy` state is the inverse of the previous `LazyObjFile::extracted`.
There are many advantages:
* previously when a LazyObjFile was extracted, a new ObjFile/BitcodeFile was created; now the file is reused, just with `lazy` cleared
* avoid the confusing transfer of `symbols` from LazyObjFile to the new file
* the `incompatible file:` diagnostic is unified with `is incompatible with`
* simpler code, smaller executable (6200+ bytes smaller on x86-64)
* make eager parsing feasible (for parallel section/symbol table initialization)
Currently the singleton `config` is assigned by `config = make<Configuration>()`
and (if `canExitEarly` is false) destroyed by `lld::freeArena`.
`make<Configuration>` allocates a stab with `malloc(4096)`. This both wastes
memory and bloats the executable (every type instantiates `BumpPtrAllocator`
which costs more than 1KiB code on x86-64).
(No need to worry about `clang::no_destroy`. Regular invocations (`canExitEarly`
is true) call `_Exit` via llvm::sys::Process::ExitNoCleanup.)

Older Go cmd/link used SHT_PROGBITS for .init_array .
Work around the lack of https://golang.org/cl/373734 for a while.
It does not generate .fini_array or .preinit_array
When linking a 1.2G output (nearly no debug info, 2846621 dynamic relocations) using `--threads=8`, I measured
```
9.131462 Total ExecuteLinker
1.449913 Total Write output file
1.445784 Total Write sections
0.657152 Write sections {"detail":".rela.dyn"}
```
This change decreases the .rela.dyn time to 0.25, leading to 4% speed up in the total time.
* The parallelSort is slow because of expensive r_sym/r_offset computation. Cache the values.
* The iteration is slow. Move r_sym/r_addend computation ahead of time and parallelize it.
With the change, the new encodeDynamicReloc is cheap (0.05s). So no need to parallelize it.

In 20a895c4be, we introduce `finalizeOptimizationRemarks()` to make sure we flush the diagnostic remarks file in case the linker doesn't call the global destructors before exiting.
In https://reviews.llvm.org/D73597, we add optimization remarks for removed functions for debugging or for detecting dead code.
But there is a case, if PreOptModuleHook or PostInternalizeModuleHook is defined (e.g. `--plugin-opt=emit-llvm` is passed to linker), we do not call `finalizeOptimizationRemarks()`, therefore we will get an incomplete optimization remarks file.
This patch make sure we flush the diagnostic remarks file when PreOptModuleHook or PostInternalizeModuleHook is defined.
