to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

By default LLD will generate position independent Thunks when the --pie or
--shared option is used. Reference to absolute addresses is permitted in
other cases. For some embedded systems position independent thunks are
needed for code that executes before the MMU has been set up. The option
--pic-veneer is used by ld.bfd to force position independent thunks.
The patch adds --pic-veneer as the option is needed for the Linux kernel
on Arm.

When the range between the source and target of a V7PILongThunk exceeded an
int32 we would trigger a relocation out of range error for the
R_ARM_MOVT_PREL or R_ARM_THM_MOVT_PREL relocation. This case can happen when
linking the linux kernel as it is loaded above 0xf0000000.
There are two parts to the fix.
- Remove the overflow check for R_ARM_MOVT_PREL or R_ARM_THM_MOVT_PREL. The
ELF for the ARM Architecture document defines these relocations as having no
overflow checking so the check was spurious.
- Use int64_t for the offset calculation, in line with similar thunks so
that PC + (S - P) < 32-bits. This results in less surprising disassembly.

ARM Architecture v6m is used by the smallest microcontrollers such as the
cortex-m0. It is Thumb only (no Thumb 2) which prevents it from using the
existing Thumb 2 range extension thunks as these use the Thumb 2 movt/movw
instructions. Range extension thunks are not usually needed for
microcontrollers due to the small amount of flash and ram on the device,
however if code is copied from flash into ram then a range extension thunk
is required to call that code.
This change adds support for v6m range extension thunks. The procedure call
standard APCS permits a thunk to corrupt the intra-procedural scratch
register r12 (referred to as ip in the APCS). Most Thumb instructions do
not permit access to high registers (r8 - r15) so the thunks must spill
some low registers (r0 - r7) to perform the control transfer.

On PowerPC64, when a function call offset is too large to encode in a call
instruction the address is stored in a table in the data segment. A thunk is
used to load the branch target address from the table relative to the
TOC-pointer and indirectly branch to the callee. When linking position-dependent
code the addresses are stored directly in the table, for position-independent
code the table is allocated and filled in at load time by the dynamic linker.
For position-independent code the branch targets could have gone in the .got.plt
but using the .branch_lt section for both position dependent and position
independent binaries keeps it consitent and helps keep this PPC64 specific logic
seperated from the target-independent code handling the .got.plt.

Older Arm architectures do not support the MOVT and MOVW instructions so we
must use an alternative sequence of instructions to transfer control to the
destination.
Assuming at least Armv5 this patch adds support for Thunks that load or add
to the program counter. Note that there are no Armv5 Thumb Thunks as there
is no Thumb branch instruction in Armv5 that supports Thunks. These thunks
will not work for Armv4t (arm7tdmi) as this architecture cannot change state
from using the LDR or ADD instruction.

On PowerPC calls to functions through the plt must be done through a call stub
that is responsible for:
1) Saving the toc pointer to the stack.
2) Loading the target functions address from the plt into both r12 and the
count register.
3) Indirectly branching to the target function.
Previously we have been emitting these call stubs to the .plt section, however
the .plt section should be reserved for the lazy symbol resolution stubs. This
patch moves the call stubs to the text section by moving the implementation from
writePlt to the thunk framework.

A short thunk uses a direct branch (b or b.w) instruction, and is used
when the target has the same thumbness as the thunk and is within
direct branch range (32MB for ARM, 16MB for Thumb-2). Reduces the

The AArch64 unconditional branch and branch and link instructions have a
maximum range of 128 Mib. This is usually enough for most programs but
there are cases when it isn't enough. This change adds support for range
extension thunks to AArch64. For pc-relative thunks we follow the small
code model and use ADRP, ADD, BR. This has a limit of 4 gigabytes.

This change allows Thunks to be added on multiple passes. To do this we must
merge only the thunks added in each pass, and deal with thunks that have
drifted out of range of their callers.
A thunk may end out of range of its caller if enough thunks are added in
between the caller and the thunk. To handle this we create another thunk.

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.

We were using uint32_t as the type of relocation kind. It has a
readability issue because what Type really means in `uint32_t Type`
is not obvious. It could be a section type, a symbol type or a
relocation type.
Since we do not do any arithemetic operations on relocation types
(e.g. adding one to R_X86_64_PC32 doesn't make sense), it would be
more natural if they are represented as enums. Unfortunately, that
is not doable because relocation type definitions are spread into
multiple header files.
So I decided to use typedef. This still should be better than the
plain uint32_t because the intended type is now obvious.

If symbol has the STO_MIPS_MICROMIPS flag and requires a thunk to perform

For ARM thunks, the `movt` half of the relocation was using an incorrect
offset (it was off by 4 bytes). The original intent seems to have been
for the offset to have been relative to the current instruction, in
which case the difference of 4 makes sense. As the code stands, however,
the offset is always calculated relative to the start of the thunk
(`P`), and so the `movw` and `movt` halves should use the same offset.
This requires a very particular offset between the thunk and its target
to be triggered, and it results in the `movt` half of the relocation
being off-by-one.
The tests here use ARM-Thumb interworking thunks, since those are the
only ARM thunks currently implemented. I actually encountered this with
a range extension thunk (having Peter's patches cherry-picked locally),
but the underlying issue is identical.

On ARM the interworking thunks are only produced for branch instructions
that can't be changed into a blx instruction so only Thumb callers would
call Thumb thunks and only ARM callers would call ARM thunks. With range
extension thunks branch and link instructions may need a Thunk. These
instructions can be rewritten as a blx and can use either ARM or Thumb
thunks.
We introduce an isCompatibleWith() function so that a caller can check if
an existing Thunk is compatible before reusing it.

Thunks are now implemented by redirecting the relocation to the
symbol S, to a symbol TS in a Thunk. The Thunk will transfer control
to S. This has the following implications:
- All the side-effects of Thunks happen within createThunks()
- Thunks are no longer stored in InputSections and Symbols no longer
need to hold a pointer to a Thunk
- The synthetic Thunk sections need to be merged into OutputSections
This implementation is almost a direct conversion of the existing
Thunks with the following exceptions:
- Mips LA25 Thunks are placed before the InputSection that defines
the symbol that needs a Thunk.
- All ARM Thunks are placed at the end of the OutputSection of the
first caller to the Thunk.
Range extension Thunks are not supported yet so it is optimistically
assumed that all Thunks can be reused.
This is a recommit of r293283 with a fixed comparison predicate as
std::merge requires a strict weak ordering.

In a shared library an undefined symbol is implicitly imported. If the
symbol is called as a function a PLT entry is generated for it. When the
caller is a Thumb b.w a thunk to the PLT entry is needed as all PLT
entries are in ARM state.
This change allows undefined symbols to have thunks in the same way that
shared symbols may have thunks.
