In PGO, a C++ external linkage function `foo` has a private counter
`__profc_foo` and a private `__profd_foo` in a `comdat nodeduplicate`.
A `__attribute__((weak))` function `foo` has a weak hidden counter `__profc_foo`
and a private `__profd_foo` in a `comdat nodeduplicate`.
In `ld.lld a.o b.o`, say a.o defines an external linkage `foo` and b.o
defines a weak `foo`. Currently we treat `comdat nodeduplicate` as `comdat any`,
ld.lld will incorrectly consider `b.o:__profc_foo` non-prevailing. In the worst
case when `b.o:__profd_foo` is retained and `b.o:__profc_foo` isn't, there will
be dangling reference causing an `undefined hidden symbol` error.
Add SelectionKind to `Comdat` in IRSymtab and let linkers ignore nodeduplicate comdat.

C++23 will make these conversions ambiguous - so fix them to make the
codebase forward-compatible with C++23 (& a follow-up change I've made
will make this ambiguous/invalid even in <C++23 so we don't regress
this & it generally improves the code anyway)
LLD on 32-bit Windows would frequently fail on large projects with
an exception "thread constructor failed: Exec format error". The stack
trace pointed to this usage of std::async, and looking at the
implementation in libc++ it seems using std::async with
std::launch::async results in the immediate creation of a new thread
for every call. This could result in a potentially unbounded number
of threads, depending on the number of input files. This seems to
be hitting some limit in 32-bit Windows host.
I took the easy route, and only use threads on 64-bit Windows, not all
Windows as before. I was thinking a more proper solution might
involve using a thread pool rather than blindly spawning any number
of new threads, but that may have other unforeseen consequences.

If linking directly against a DLL without an import library, the
DLL export symbols might not contain stdcall decorations.
If we have an undefined symbol with decoration, and we happen to have
a matching undecorated symbol (which either is lazy and can be loaded,
or already defined), then alias it against that instead.
This matches what's done in reverse, when we have a def file
declaring to export a symbol without decoration, but we only have
a defined decorated symbol. In that case we do a fuzzy match
(SymbolTable::findMangle). This case is more straightforward; if we
have a decorated undefined symbol, just strip the decoration and look
for the corresponding undecorated symbol name.
Add warnings and options for either silencing the warning or disabling
the whole feature, corresponding to how ld.bfd does it.
(This feature works for any symbol decoration mismatch, not only when
linking against a DLL directly; ld.bfd also tolerates it anywhere,
and also fixes up mismatches in the other direction, like
SymbolTable::findMangle, for any symbol, not only exports. But in
practice, at least for lld, it would primarily end up used for linking
against DLLs.)

GNU ld.bfd supports linking directly against DLLs without using an
import library, and some projects have picked up on this habit.
(There's no one single unsurmountable issue with using import
libraries, but this is a regularly surfacing missing feature.)
As long as one is linking by name (instead of by ordinal), the DLL
export table contains most of the information needed. (One can
inspect what section a symbol points at, to see if it's a function
or data symbol. The practical implementation of this loops over all
sections for each symbol, but as long as they're not very many, that
should hopefully be tolerable performance wise.)
One exception where the information in the DLL isn't entirely enough
is on i386 with stdcall functions; depending on how they're done,
the exported function name can be a plain undecorated name, while
the import library would contain the full decorated symbol name. This
issue is addressed separately in a different patch.
This is implemented mimicing the structure of a regular import library,
with one InputFile corresponding to the static archive that just adds
lazy symbols, which then are fetched when they are needed. When such
a symbol is fetched, we synthesize a coff_import_header structure
in memory and create a regular ImportFile out of it.
The implementation could be even smaller by just creating ImportFiles
for every symbol available immediately, but that would have the
drawback of actually ending up importing all symbols unless running
with GC enabled (and mingw mode defaults to having it disabled for
historical reasons).

Commit 728cc0075e made comdat symbols
from LTO objects be treated as any regular comdat symbol. This works
great for symbols that actually are IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ANY, but
if the symbols have a less trivial selection type that require comparing
either the section chunk size or contents, we can't check that before
actually doing the LTO compilation.
Therefore bring back one aspect of handling from before; that comdat
resolution with a leader from an LTO symbol is essentially skipped,
like it was before 728cc0075e.

This reverts commit e1adf90826.
This appears to affect the way that C++ mangled symbols appear in the
import library when using a .def file that names a C++ free function
with no name decoration. I will follow up with a reduced test case
shortly.
This is run every time around in the main linker loop. Once a match
has been found, stop trying to rematch such a symbol.
Not sure if this has any actual measurable performance impact though
(SymbolTable::findMangle() iterates over the whole symbol table for
each call and does fuzzy matching on top of that) but this makes the
code more reassuring to read at least. (This is in practice run for def
files listing undecorated stdcall functions to be exported.)

Before this patch, the maximum size of the GHASH table was 2^31 buckets. However we were storing the bucket index into a TypeIndex which has an input limit of (2^31)-4095 indices, see this link. Any value above that limit will improperly set the TypeIndex's high bit, which is interpreted as DecoratedItemIdMask. This used to cause bad indices on extraction when calling TypeIndex::toArrayIndex().

Ghashing is probably going to be faster in most cases, even without
precomputed ghashes in object files.
Here is my table of results linking clang.pdb:
-------------------------------
| threads | GHASH | NOGHASH |
-------------------------------
| j1 | 51.031s | 25.141s |
| j2 | 31.079s | 22.109s |

| j8 | 11.938s | 21.984s |
| j28 | 8.375s | 18.391s |
-------------------------------
This shows that ghashing is faster if at least four cores are available.
This may make the linker slower if most cores are busy in the middle of
a build, but in that case, the linker probably isn't on the critical
path of the build. Incremental build performance is arguably more
important than highly contended batch build link performance.

factor:

When looking for the "all" symbols that are supposed to be exported,
we can't look at the live flag - the symbols we mark as to be
exported will become GC roots even if they aren't yet marked as live.
With this in place, building an LLVM library with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
produces the same set of symbols exported regardless of whether the
--gc-sections flag is specified, both with and without being built
with -ffunction-sections.

This is a different approach from D98993 that should achieve most of the
same benefit. The two changes are:
1. Sort the list of associated child sections by section name
2. Do not consider associated sections to have children themselves
This fixes the main issue, which was that we sometimes considered an
.xdata section to have a child .pdata section. That lead to slow links
and larger binaries (less xdata folding).
Otherwise, this should be NFC: we go back to ignoring .debug/.gljmp and
other metadata sections rather than only looking at pdata/xdata. We
discovered that we do care about other associated sections, like ASan
global registration metadata.
Problem:
On SystemZ we need to open text files in text mode. On Windows, files opened in text mode adds a CRLF '\r\n' which may not be desirable.
Solution:
This patch adds two new flags
- OF_CRLF which indicates that CRLF translation is used.
- OF_TextWithCRLF = OF_Text | OF_CRLF indicates that the file is text and uses CRLF translation.
Developers should now use either the OF_Text or OF_TextWithCRLF for text files and OF_None for binary files. If the developer doesn't want carriage returns on Windows, they should use OF_Text, if they do want carriage returns on Windows, they should use OF_TextWithCRLF.
So this is the behaviour per platform with my patch:
z/OS:
OF_None: open in binary mode
OF_Text : open in text mode
OF_TextWithCRLF: open in text mode
Windows:
OF_None: open file with no carriage return
OF_Text: open file with no carriage return
OF_TextWithCRLF: open file with carriage return
The Major change is in llvm/lib/Support/Windows/Path.inc to only set text mode if the OF_CRLF is set.
```
if (Flags & OF_CRLF)
CrtOpenFlags |= _O_TEXT;
```
These following files are the ones that still use OF_Text which I left unchanged. I modified all these except raw_ostream.cpp in recent patches so I know these were previously in Binary mode on Windows.

./llvm/lib/TableGen/Main.cpp

The only known reason why ICF should not merge otherwise identical
sections with differing associated sections has to do with exception
handling tables. It's not clear what ICF should do when there are other
kinds of associated sections. In every other case when this has come up,
debug info and CF guard metadata, we have opted to make ICF ignore the
associated sections.
For comparison, ELF doesn't do anything for comdat groups. Instead,
.eh_frame is parsed to figure out if a section has an LSDA, and if so,
ICF is disabled.
Another issue is that the order of associated sections is not defined.
We have had issues in the past (crbug.com/1144476) where changing the
order of the .xdata/.pdata sections in the object file lead to large ICF
slowdowns.
To address these issues, I decided it would be best to explicitly
consider only .pdata and .xdata sections during ICF. This makes it easy
to ignore the object file order, and I think it makes the intention of
the code clearer.
I've also made the children() accessor return an empty list for
associated sections. This mostly only affects ICF and GC. This was the
behavior before I made this a linked list, so the behavior change should
be good. This had positive effects on chrome.dll: more .xdata sections
were merged that previously could not be merged because they were
associated with distinct .pdata sections.

/reproduce: now works correctly with:

- /def:
- /natvis:

I went through all instances of MemoryBuffer::getFile() and made sure

For natvis, that wasn't possible since DebugInfo/PDB wants to take
owernship of the natvis buffer. For that case, I'm manually adding the
tar file entry.
/natvis: and /pdbstream: is slightly awkward, since createResponseFile()
always adds these flags to the response file but createPDB() (which
ultimately adds the files referenced by the flags) is only called if
/debug is also passed. So when using /natvis: without /debug with
/reproduce:, lld won't warn, but when linking using the response
file from the archive, it won't find the natvis file since it's not
