--no-threads is a name copied from gold.
gold has --no-thread, --thread-count and several other --thread-count-*.
There are needs to customize the number of threads (running several lld
processes concurrently or customizing the number of LTO threads).
Having a single --threads=N is a straightforward replacement of gold's
--no-threads + --thread-count.
--no-threads is used rarely. So just delete --no-threads instead of
keeping it for compatibility for a while.
If --threads= is specified (ELF,wasm; COFF /threads: is similar),
--thinlto-jobs= defaults to --threads=,
otherwise all available hardware threads are used.
There is currently no way to override a --threads={1,2,...}. It is still
a debate whether we should use --threads=all.

Summary:
- `__wasm_init_memory` is now the WebAssembly start function instead
of being called from `__wasm_call_ctors` or called directly by the
runtime.
- Adds a new synthetic data symbol `__wasm_init_memory_flag` that is
atomically incremented from zero to one by the thread responsible
for initializing memory.
- All threads now unconditionally perform data.drop on all passive
segments.
- Removes --passive-segments and --active-segments flags and controls
segment type based on --shared-memory instead. The deleted flags
were only present to ameliorate the upgrade path in Emscripten.

Adds --growable-table flag to handle building wasm modules with tables
that can grow.
Wasm tables that we use to store function pointers. In order to add functions
to that table at runtime, we need to either preallocate space, or grow the table.
In order to specify a table with no maximum size, we need some flag to handle
that case, separately from a potential --max-table-size= flag.
Note that the number of elements in the table isn't knowable until link-time,
so it's unclear if we will want a --max-table-size= flag in the future.
llvm-svn: 370127
Summary:
This change makes it so that passing --shared-memory is all a user
needs to do to get proper multithreaded code. This default can still
be explicitly overridden for any reason using --passive-segments and
--active-segments.

Summary:
Adds `--passive-segments` and `--active-segments` flags to control
what kind of segments are emitted. For now the default is always
to emit active segments so this is not a breaking change, but in
the future the default will be changed to passive segments when
shared memory is requested and active segments otherwise. When
passive segments are emitted, corresponding memory.init and
data.drop instructions are emitted in a `__wasm_init_memory`
function that is automatically called at the beginning of
`__wasm_call_ctors`.

--reproduce is a convenient option for debugging. If you invoke lld
with `--reproduce=repro.tar`, it creates `repro.tar` with all input
files and the command line options given to the linker, so that it is
very easy to run lld with the exact same inputs.
ELF and Windows lld have this option.
This patch add that option to lld/wasm.

In a very recent change I introduced a --no-export-default flag
but after conferring with others it seems that this feature already
exists in gnu GNU ld and lld in the form the --export-dynamic flag
which is off by default.
This change replaces export-default with export-dynamic and also
changes the default to match the traditional linker behaviour.
Now, by default, only the entry point is exported. If other symbols
are required by the embedder then --export-dynamic or --export can
be used to export all visibility hidden symbols or individual
symbols respectively.
This change touches a lot of tests that were relying on symbols
being exported by default. I imagine it will also effect many
users but do think the change is worth it match of the traditional
behaviour and flag names.

These option control weather or not symbols marked as visibility
default are exported in the output binary.
By default this is true, but emscripten prefers to control the
exported symbol list explicitly at link time and ignore the

This causes all symbols to be exported in the final wasm binary
even if they were not compiled with default visibility.
This feature is useful for the emscripten toolchain that has a
corresponding EXPORT_ALL feature which allows the JS code to
interact with all C function.

This change adds the ability for lld to remove LEB padding from
code section. This effectively shrinks the size of the resulting
binary in proportion to the number of code relocations.
Since there will be a performance cost this is currently only active for
-O1 and above. Some toolchains may instead want to perform this
compression as a post linker step (for example running a binary through
binaryen will automatically compress these values).
I imagine we might want to make this the default in the future.

Merging data segments produces smaller code sizes because each segment
has some boilerplate. Therefore, merging data segments is generally the
right approach, especially with wasm where binaries are typically
delivered over the network.
However, when analyzing wasm binaries, it can be helpful to get a
conservative picture of which functions are using which data
segments[0]. Perhaps there is a large data segment that you didn't
expect to be included in the wasm, introduced by some library you're
using, and you'd like to know which library it was. In this scenario,
merging data segments only makes the analysis worse.
Alternatively, perhaps you will remove some dead functions by-hand[1]
that can't be statically proven dead by the compiler or lld, and
removing these functions might make some data garbage collect-able, and
you'd like to run `--gc-sections` again so that this now-unused data can
be collected. If the segments were originally merged, then a single use
of the merged data segment will entrench all of the data.

This is most useful when using lld-link on a non-Win host (but it might become
useful on Windows too if lld also grows a fansi-escape-codes flag).
Also make the help for --color-diagnostic mention the valid values in ELF and
wasm, and print the flag name with two dashes in diags, since the one-dash form
is seen as a list of many one-letter flags in some contexts.

In this initial version we only GC symbols with `hidden` visibility since
other symbols we export to the embedder.
We could potentially modify this the future and only use symbols
explicitly passed via `--export` as GC roots.
This version of the code only does GC of data and code. GC for the
types section is coming soon.
