lld assumes some ARM features that are not available in all Arm
processors. In particular:
- The blx instruction present for interworking.
- The movt/movw instructions are used in Thunks.
- The J1=1 J2=1 encoding of branch immediates to improve Thumb wide
branch range are assumed to be present.
This patch reads the ARM Attributes section to check for the
architecture the object file was compiled with. If none of the objects
have an architecture that supports either of these features a warning
will be given. This is most likely to affect armv6 as used in the first
Raspberry Pi.

SymbolBody and Symbol were separated classes due to a historical reason.
Symbol used to be a pointer to a SymbolBody, and the relationship
between Symbol and SymbolBody was n:1.
r2681780 changed that. Since that patch, SymbolBody and Symbol are
allocated next to each other to improve memory locality, and they have
1:1 relationship now. So, the separation of Symbol and SymbolBody no
longer makes sense.
This patch merges them into one class. In order to avoid updating too
many places, I chose SymbolBody as a unified name. I'll rename it Symbol
in a follow-up patch.

The Android relocation packing format is a more compact
format for dynamic relocations in executables and DSOs
that is based on delta encoding and SLEBs. An overview
of the format can be found in the Android source code:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/refs/heads/master/tools/relocation_packer/src/delta_encoder.h
This patch implements relocation packing using that format.
This implementation uses a more intelligent algorithm for compressing
relative relocations than Android's own relocation packer. As a
result it can generally create smaller relocation sections than
that packer. If I link Chromium for Android targeting ARM32 I get a
.rel.dyn of size 174693 bytes, as compared to 371832 bytes with gold
and the Android packer.

Summary:
The COFF linker and the ELF linker have long had similar but separate
Error.h and Error.cpp files to implement error handling. This change
introduces new error handling code in Common/ErrorHandler.h, changes the
COFF and ELF linkers to use it, and removes the old, separate
implementations.

It is PR34946.
Spec (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/ld.1.html) tells about
--orphan-handling=MODE, option where MODE can be one of four:
"place", "discard", "warn", "error".
Currently we already report orphans when -verbose given,
what becomes excessive with option implemented.
Patch stops reporting orphans when -versbose is given,
and support "place", "warn" and "error" modes.
It is not yet clear that "discard" mode is useful so it is not supported.

When parsing linker scripts, LLD previously started with a '.' value of 0,
regardless of the internal default image base for the target, and regardless of
switches such as --image-base. It seems reasonable to use a different image base
value when using linker scripts and --image-base is specified, since otherwise the
switch has no effect. This change does this, as well as removing unnecessary
initialisation of Dot where it is not used.
The default image base should not be used when processing linker
scripts, because this will change the behaviour for existing linker script users,
and potentially result in invalid output being produced, as a subsequent assignment
to Dot could move the location counter backwards. Instead, we maintain the existing
behaviour of starting from 0 if --image-base is not specified.

Currently LLD calls the `isMicroMips` routine to determine type of PLT entries
needs to be generated: regular or microMIPS. This routine checks ELF
header flags in the `FirstObj` to retrieve type of linked object files.
So if the first file does not contain microMIPS code, LLD will generate
PLT entries with regular (non-microMIPS) code only.
Ideally, if a PLT entry is referenced by microMIPS code only this entry
should contain microMIPS code, if a PLT entry is referenced by regular
code this entry should contain regular code. In a "mixed" case the PLT
entry can be either microMIPS or regular, but each "cross-mode-call" has
additional cost.
It's rather difficult to implement this ideal solution. But we can
assume that if there is an input object file with microMIPS code, the
most part of the code is microMIPS too. So we need to deduce type of PLT
entries based on finally calculated ELF header flags and do not check
only the first input object file.
This change implements this.
- The `getMipsEFlags` renamed to the `calcMipsEFlags`. The function
called from the `LinkerDriver::link`. Result is stored in
the Configuration::MipsEFlags field.
- The `isMicroMips` and `isMipsR6` routines access the `MipsEFlags`
field to get and check calculated ELF flags.
- New types of PLT records created when necessary.

This fixes pr34301.
As the bug points out, we want to keep some relocations with undefined
weak symbols. This means that we cannot always claim that these
symbols are not preemptible as we do now.
Unfortunately, we cannot also just always claim that they are
preemptible. Doing so would, for example, cause us to try to create a
plt entry when we don't even have a dynamic symbol table.
What almost works is to say that weak undefined symbols are
preemptible if and only if we have a dynamic symbol table. Almost
because we don't want to fail the build trying to create a copy
relocation to a weak undefined.
llvm-svn: 313372
This allows combining --dynamic-list and version scripts too. The
version script controls which symbols are visible, and
--dynamic-list controls which of those are preemptible.
Unlike previous versions, undefined symbols are still considered
preemptible, which was the issue breaking the cfi tests.
This fixes pr34053.

-F name
--filter=name
When creating an ELF shared object, set the internal DT_FILTER field to the specified name. This tells the dynamic linker that the symbol table of the shared object which is being created should be used as a filter on the symbol table of the shared object name.
If you later link a program against this filter object, then, when you run the program, the dynamic linker will see the DT_FILTER field. The dynamic linker will resolve symbols according to the symbol table of the filter object as usual, but it will actually link to the definitions found in the shared object name. Thus the filter object can be used to select a subset of the symbols provided by the object name.
(https://linux.die.net/man/1/ld).

DF_STATIC_TLS
If set in a shared object or executable, this flag instructs the

It indicates that the shared object or executable contains code
using a static thread-local storage scheme. Implementations need
not support any form of thread-local storage.
Patch checks if IE/LE relocations were used to check if code uses
static model. If so it sets the DF_STATIC_TLS flag.

Summary:
When we perform LTO builds with a version of ar that does not
understand LLVM bitcode objects, we end up with undefined references,
because our archive files do not list the bitcode symbols in their
indices. The error messages do not make it clear what the real problem
is. This change adds a note that points out the likely problem and
solution. It is similar in spirit to r282633, but aims to avoid false
positives by only triggering when we see both undefined references and
archives without symbols in their indices.
