BSD linker scripts contain special cases to add NOP

It is said that:
_etext - The address of _etext is the first
location after the last read-only loadable segment.
_edata - The address of _edata is the first
location after the last read-write loadable segment.
_end - If the address of _edata is greater than the address
of _etext, the address of _end is same as the address of _edata.
In real life _end and _edata has different values for that case.
Both gold/bfd set _edata to the end of the last non SHT_NOBITS section.
This patch do the same for consistency.
It should fix the https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26729.

For shared libraries we allow any weak undefined symbol to eventually be
resolved, even if we never see a definition in another .so. This matches
the behavior when handling other undefined symbols in a shared library.
For executables, we require seeing a definition in a .so or resolve it
to zero. This is also similar to how non weak symbols are handled.

When this code was first added it was compensating for the code deciding

R_MIPS_GOT16 relocation against local symbol requires index of a local
GOT entry which contains page address corresponds to sum of the symbol
address and addend. The addend in that case is calculated using addends
from the R_MIPS_GOT16 and paired R_MIPS_LO16 relocations.

This patch implements the same algorithm as LLD/COFF's ICF. I'm
not going to repeat the same description about how it works, so you
want to read the comment in ICF.cpp in this patch if you want to know
the details. This algorithm should be more powerful than the ICF
algorithm implemented in GNU gold. It can even merge mutually-recursive
functions (which is harder than one might think).
ICF is a fairly effective size optimization. Here are some examples.
LLD: 37.14 MB -> 35.80 MB (-3.6%)
Clang: 59.41 MB -> 57.80 MB (-2.7%)
The lacking feature is "safe" version of ICF. This merges all
identical sections. That is not compatible with a C/C++ language
requirement that two distinct functions must have distinct addresses.
But as long as your program do not rely on the pointer equality
(which is in many cases true), your program should work with the
feature. LLD works fine for example.
GNU gold implements so-called "safe ICF" that identifies functions
that are safe to merge by heuristics -- for example, gold thinks
that constructors are safe to merge because there is no way to
take an address of a constructor in C++. We have a different idea
which David Majnemer suggested that we add NOPs at beginning of
merged functions so that two or more pointers can have distinct
values. We can do whichever we want, but this patch does not
include neither.

This commit does two related thing. At first, it enumerates supported
absolute MIPS relocations in the `MipsTargetInfo<ELFT>::isRelRelative`
method. In that case the code is shorter and the case switch does not
tend to grow. At second, it prevents R_MIPS_COPY and PLT creation for
relative relocations. For almost all relative MIPS relocations like
R_MIPS_PC19_S2, R_MIPS_PCHI16 etc it does not have a sence. The only
exception is R_MIPS_PC32. GNU linker creates a copy relocation or PLT
entry for it. But I could not find any real test case uses R_MIPS_PC32
with DSO defined symbol as a target. So for now I prefer to skip this
case to simplify the LLD code.
llvm-svn: 261822
"Discarded" section is a marker for discarded sections, and we do not
use the instance except for checking its identity. In that sense, it
is just another type of a "null" pointer for InputSectionBase. So,
it doesn't have to be a real instance of InputSectionBase class.
In this patch, we no longer instantiate Discarded section but instead
use -1 as a pointer value. This eliminates a global variable which
needed initialization at startup.
llvm-svn: 261761
This is a preparation for ICF. If we merge two sections, we want to
align the merged section at the largest alignment requirement.
That means we want to update the alignment value, which was

There is nothing aarch64 specific in here. If a symbol can be preempted,
we need to copy the full relocation to the dynamic linker.
If a symbol cannot be preempted, we can make the dynamic linker life

This patch fixes the R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocation when used in shared mode,

the addend on the dynamic relocation (since it will be used by the dynamic

to get the correct addend based on relocation type.
The patch fixes the issues when creating shared library code against
{init,fini}_array, where it issues R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocation against
local symbols.

Each rule in SECTIONS commands is something like ".foo *(.baz.*)",
which instructs the linker to collect all sections whose name matches
".baz.*" from all files and put them into .foo section.
Previously, we didn't recognize the wildcard character. This patch
adds that feature.
Performance impact is a bit concerning because a linker script can
contain hundreds of SECTIONS rules, and doing pattern matching against
each rule would be too expensive. We could merge all patterns into
single DFA so that it takes O(n) to the input size. However, it is
probably too much at this moment -- we don't know whether the
performance of pattern matching matters or not. So I chose to
implement the simplest algorithm in this patch. I hope this simple
pattern matcher is sufficient.

This patch adds some TLS relocations and relaxations for AArch64.
Some Global-Dynamic relocation are handled by optimizing them to
Local-Exec (Initial-Exec is not yet supported). They are:
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_ADR_PAGE21
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_LD64_LO12_NC
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_ADD_LO12_NC
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_CALL
Also some Init-Exec is optimized to Local-Exec if possible. They are:
- R_AARCH64_TLSIE_ADR_GOTTPREL_PAGE21
- R_AARCH64_TLSIE_LD64_GOTTPREL_LO12_NC
Finally some Local-Exec relocation are handled in relocateOne:
- R_AARCH64_TLSLE_ADD_TPREL_HI12
- R_AARCH64_TLSLE_ADD_TPREL_LO12_NC
This work is mainly for compiler bootstrap, where static binaries is
showing good progress (although shared object still lacking support
from both TLS aarch64 backend and some other issues).

IMHO this makes the code easier to read and should help with linker
scripts.
This is strongly based on D16575. The main differences are:
We record a range of sections, not every section in a program header.
scanHeaders takes case of deciding what goes in every program header,
including PT_GNU_RELRO
We create dummy sections for the start of the file
With this, program header creation has 3 isolated stages:
Map sections to program headers.
Assign addresses to *sections*
Looking at sections find the address and size of each program header.

The patch adds lazy relocation support for MIPS and R_MIPS_26 relocation
handing.
R_MIPS_26 relocation might require PLT entry creation. In that case it
is fully supported by the patch. But if the relocation target is a local
symbol we need to use a different expression to calculate the relocation
result. This case is not implemented yet because there is no method to
get know the kind of relocation target in the `relocateOne` routine.

This is the function equivalent of a copy relocation.
Since functions are expected to change sizes, we cannot use copy
relocations. In situations where one would be needed, what is done
instead is:
* Create a plt entry
* Output an undefined symbol whose addr is the plt entry.
The dynamic linker makes sure any shared library uses the plt entry as
the function address.
llvm-svn: 260224
I found that the handling of 'L' character in an augmentation string is
wrong because 'L' means that the next byte is the length field. I could
have fixed that by just skipping the next byte, but I decided to take a
different approach.
Teaching the linker about all the types of CIE internal records just to
skip them is silly. And the code doing that is not actually executed now
(that's why the bug did not cause any issue.) It is because the 'R' field,
which we want to read, is always at beginning of the CIE. So I reduced
the code dramatically by assuming that that's always the case. I want to
see how it works in the wild. If it doesn't work, we can roll this back
(with a fix for 'L').

Summary:
LLVM3.3 (and earlier) would fail to include a relocation section in
the group that the section it was relocating is in. Object files
affected by this issue have been encountered in the wild when using LLD.
This would result in a siutation like:
Section {
Index: 5
Name: .text._Z3fooIiEvv (6)
Type: SHT_PROGBITS (0x1)
Flags [ (0x206)
SHF_ALLOC (0x2)
SHF_EXECINSTR (0x4)
SHF_GROUP (0x200)
]
Address: 0x0
Offset: 0x48
Size: 5
Link: 0
Info: 0
AddressAlignment: 1
EntrySize: 0
}
Section {
Index: 6
Name: .rela.text._Z3fooIiEvv (1)
Type: SHT_RELA (0x4)
Flags [ (0x0)
]
Address: 0x0
Offset: 0x3F0
Size: 24
Link: 8
Info: 5
AddressAlignment: 8
EntrySize: 24
}
In LLD, during symbol resolution, we discard the section containing the
weak symbol, but this amounts to replacing it with
InputSection<ELFT>::Discarded.
When we later saw the corresponding relocation section, we would then
end up pusing onto InputSection<ELFT>::Discarded.RelocSections, which is
bogus.

Another case where we currently have almost duplicated code is the
creation of dynamic relocations. First to decide if we need one, then to
decide what to write.
This patch fixes it by passing more information from the relocation scan
to the section writing code. This is the same idea used for r258723.
I actually think it should be possible to simplify this further by
reordering things a bit in the writer. For example, we should be able to
represent almost every position in the file with an OutputSeciton and
offset. When writing it out we then just need to add the offset to the
OutputSection VA.

If relocation against symbol requires GOT entry creation and this symbol

This avoids the need to have reserve and addString in sync.
We avoid hashing the global symbols again. This means that we don't

In many situations, we don't want to exit at the first error even in the
process model. For example, it is better to report all undefined symbols
rather than reporting the first one that the linker picked up randomly.
In order to handle such errors, we don't need to wrap everything with
ErrorOr (thanks for David Blaikie for pointing this out!) Instead, we
can set a flag to record the fact that we found an error and keep it
going until it reaches a reasonable checkpoint.
This idea should be applicable to other places. For example, we can
ignore broken relocations and check for errors after visiting all relocs.
In this patch, I rename error to fatal, and introduce another version of
error which doesn't call exit. That function instead sets HasError to true.
Once HasError becomes true, it stays true, so that we know that there
was an error if it is true.
I think introducing a non-noreturn error reporting function is by itself
a good idea, and it looks to me that this also provides a gradual path
towards lld-as-a-library (or at least embed-lld-to-your-program) without
sacrificing code readability with lots of ErrorOr's.
