This is equivalent to the existing `import_name` and `import_module`

This maps the existing
This attribute currently requires a string rather than using the
symbol name for a couple of reasons:
1. Avoid confusion with static and dynamic linking which is
based on symbol name. Exporting a function from a wasm module using
this directive is orthogonal to both static and dynamic linking.
2. Avoids name mangling.

D64906 allows PT_LOAD to have overlapping p_offset ranges. In the
default R RX RW RW layout + -z noseparate-code case, we do not tail pad
segments when transiting to another segment. This can save at most
3*maxPageSize bytes.
a) Before D64906, we tail pad R, RX and the first RW.
b) With -z separate-code, we tail pad R and RX, but not the first RW (RELRO).
In some cases, b) saves one file page. In some cases, b) wastes one
virtual memory page. The waste is a concern on Fuchsia. Because it uses
compressed binaries, it doesn't benefit from the saved file page.
This patch adds -z separate-loadable-segments to restore the behavior before
D64906. It can affect section addresses and can thus be used as a
debugging mechanism (see PR43214 and ld.so partition bug in
crbug.com/998712).

This is useful for enforcing that builds are independent of the
environment; it can be used when all system library paths are added
via /libpath: already. It's similar ot cl.exe's /X flag.
Since it should also affect %LINK% (the other caller of
`Process::GetEnv` in lld/COFF), the early-option-parsing needs
to move around a bit. The options are:
- Add a manual loop over the argv ArrayRef and look for "/lldignoreenv".
This repeats the name of the flag in both Options.td and in
DriverUtils.cpp.
- Add yet another table.ParseArgs() call just for /lldignoreenv before
adding %LINK%.
- Use the existing early ParseArgs() that's there for --rsp-quoting and use
it for /lldignoreenv for %LINK% as well. This means --rsp-quoting
and /lldignoreenv can't be passed via %LINK%.
I went with the third approach.

This patch adds new command line option `--undefined-glob` to lld.
That option is a variant of `--undefined` but accepts wildcard
patterns so that all symbols that match with a given pattern are
handled as if they were given by `-u`.
`-u foo` is to force resolve symbol foo if foo is not a defined symbol
and there's a static archive that contains a definition of symbol foo.
Now, you can specify a wildcard pattern as an argument for `--undefined-glob`.
So, if you want to include all JNI symbols (which start with "Java_"), you
can do that by passing `--undefined-glob "Java_*"` to the linker, for example.
In this patch, I use the same glob pattern matcher as the version script
processor is using, so it does not only support `*` but also `?` and `[...]`.

Branch Target Identification (BTI) and Pointer Authentication (PAC) are
architecture features introduced in v8.5a and 8.3a respectively. The new
instructions have been added in the hint space so that binaries take
advantage of support where it exists yet still run on older hardware. The
impact of each feature is:
BTI: For executable pages that have been guarded, all indirect branches
must have a destination that is a BTI instruction of the appropriate type.
For the static linker, this means that PLT entries must have a "BTI c" as
the first instruction in the sequence. BTI is an all or nothing
property for a link unit, any indirect branch not landing on a valid
destination will cause a Branch Target Exception.
PAC: The dynamic loader encodes with PACIA the address of the destination
that the PLT entry will load from the .plt.got, placing the result in a
subset of the top-bits that are not valid virtual addresses. The PLT entry
may authenticate these top-bits using the AUTIA instruction before
branching to the destination. Use of PAC in PLT sequences is a contract
between the dynamic loader and the static linker, it is independent of
whether the relocatable objects use PAC.
BTI and PAC are independent features that can be combined. So we can have
several combinations of PLT:
- Standard with no BTI or PAC
- BTI PLT with "BTI c" as first instruction.
- PAC PLT with "AUTIA1716" before the indirect branch to X17.
- BTIPAC PLT with "BTI c" as first instruction and "AUTIA1716" before the
first indirect branch to X17.
The use of BTI and PAC in relocatable object files are encoded by feature
bits in the .note.gnu.property section in a similar way to Intel CET. There
is one AArch64 specific program property GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_AND
and two target feature bits defined:
- GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI
-- All executable sections are compatible with BTI.
- GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC
-- All executable sections have return address signing enabled.
Due to the properties of FEATURE_1_AND the static linker can tell when all
input relocatable objects have the BTI and PAC feature bits set. The static
linker uses this to enable the appropriate PLT sequence.
Neither -> standard PLT
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI -> BTI PLT
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC -> PAC PLT
Both properties -> BTIPAC PLT
In addition to the .note.gnu.properties there are two new command line
options:
--force-bti : Act as if all relocatable inputs had
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI and warn for every relocatable object
that does not.
--pac-plt : Act as if all relocatable inputs had
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC. As PAC is a contract between the loader
and static linker no warning is given if it is not present in an input.
Two processor specific dynamic tags are used to communicate that a non
standard PLT sequence is being used.
DTI_AARCH64_BTI_PLT and DTI_AARCH64_BTI_PAC.

Patch by Mark Johnston!
Summary:
When the option is configured, ifunc calls do not go through the PLT;
rather, they appear as regular function calls with relocations
referencing the ifunc symbol, and the resolver is invoked when
applying the relocation. This is intended for use in freestanding
environments where text relocations are permissible and is incompatible
with the -z text option. The option is motivated by ifunc usage in the
FreeBSD kernel, where ifuncs are used to elide CPU feature flag bit
checks in hot paths. Instead of replacing the cost of a branch with that
of an indirect function call, the -z ifunc-noplt option is used to ensure
that ifunc calls carry no hidden overhead relative to normal function
calls.
Test Plan:
I added a couple of regression tests and tested the FreeBSD kernel
build using the latest lld sources.
To demonstrate the effects of the change, I used a micro-benchmark
which results in frequent invocations of a FreeBSD kernel ifunc. The
benchmark was run with and without IBRS enabled, and with and without
-zifunc-noplt configured. The observed speedup is small and consistent,
and is significantly larger with IBRS enabled:

The -n (--nmagic) disables page alignment, and acts as a -Bstatic
The -N (--omagic) does what -n does but also marks the executable segment as
writeable. As page alignment is disabled headers are not allocated unless
explicit in the linker script.
To disable page alignment in LLD we choose to set the page sizes to 1 so
that any alignment based on the page size does nothing. To set the
Target->PageSize to 1 we implement -z common-page-size, which has the side
effect of allowing the user to set the value as well.
Setting the page alignments to 1 does mean that any use of
CONSTANT(MAXPAGESIZE) or CONSTANT(COMMONPAGESIZE) in a linker script will
return 1, unlike in ld.bfd. However given that -n and -N disable paging
these probably shouldn't be used in a linker script where -n or -N is in
use.

When faced with command line options such as "crtbegin.o appmain.o
-lsomelib crtend.o", GNU ld pulls in all necessary object files from
somelib before proceeding to crtend.o.
LLD operates differently, only loading object files from any
referenced static libraries after processing all input object files.
This uses a similar hack as in the ELF linker. Here, it moves crtend.o
to the end of the vector of object files. This makes sure that
terminator chunks for sections such as .eh_frame gets ordered last,
fixing DWARF exception handling for libgcc and gcc's crtend.o.

Summary:
This patch adds a new flag, --warn-ifunc-textrel, to work around a glibc bug. When a code with ifunc symbols is used to produce an object file with text relocations, lld always succeeds. However, if that object file is linked using an old version of glibc, the resultant binary just crashes with segmentation fault when it is run (The bug is going to be corrected as of glibc 2.19).
Since there is no way to tell beforehand what library the object file will be linked against in the future, there does not seem to be a fool-proof way for lld to give an error only in cases where the binary will crash. So, with this change (dated 2018-09-25), lld starts to give a warning, contingent on a new command line flag that does not have a gnu counter part. The default value for --warn-ifunc-textrel is false, so lld behaviour will not change unless the user explicitly asks lld to give a warning. Users that link with a glibc library with version 2.19 or newer, or does not use ifunc symbols, or does not generate object files with text relocations do not need to take any action. Other users may consider to start passing warn-ifunc-textrel to lld to get early warnings.

--push-state implemented in this patch saves the states of --as-needed,

Since even GNU linkers save different flags, no one seems to care about the

complicate the implementation and the siutation.
I'm not personally happy about adding the --{push,pop}-state flags though.
That options seem too hacky to me. However, gcc started using the options
since GCC 8 when GNU ld is available at the build time. Therefore, lld
