Now that getSectionPiece is fast (uses a hash) it is probably OK to
split merge sections early.
The reason I want to do this is to split eh_frame sections in the same
place.
This does mean that we have to decompress early. Given that the only
compressed sections are debug info, I don't think we are missing much.
It is a small improvement: 0.5% on the geometric mean.

PPC64 V2 ABI describes two entry points to a function. The global entry point
sets up the TOC base pointer. When calling a local function, the call should
branch to the local entry point rather than the global entry point.
Section 3.4.1 describes using the 3 most significant bits of the st_other
field to find out how many instructions there are between the local and global
entry point. This patch adds the correct offset required to branch to the local
entry point of a function.

The input file for this option should contain a list of symbols, not a
list of sections, so explicitly refer to ordering symbols (but keep the
reference to laying out sections, since that's how the option must
operate). Referring to the file itself as the "symbol ordering file" is
consistent with --warn-symbol-ordering and less ambiguous than "symbol
file" (albeit slightly redundant).

This is slightly simpler to read IMHO. Now if a symbol has a position
in the file, it is Defined.
The main motivation is that with this a SharedSymbol doesn't need a
section, which reduces the size of SymbolUnion.
With this the peak allocation when linking chromium goes from 568.1 to
564.2 MB.

It returns a different Expr only in the case of creating a function
symbol pointing to its plt entry. We can just add a call to
addPltEntry to avoid that and return void.
With this patch further simplifications of how we handle copy
relocations are possible.

It was always an offset of PltIndex.
This doesn't reduce the size of the structures, but makes it easier to
do so in a followup patch.

Before this patch:
Symbol 56
Defined 80
Undefined 56
SharedSymbol 88
LazyArchive 72
LazyObject 56
With this patch
Symbol 48
Defined 72
Undefined 48
SharedSymbol 80
LazyArchive 64
LazyObject 48
The result is that peak allocation when linking chromium (according to
heaptrack) goes from 578 to 568 MB.

Currently, LLD supports ASSERT as a separate command.
We support two forms now.
Assign expression-form: . = ASSERT(0x100)
(old GNU ld required it and some scripts in the wild are still using
something like . = ASSERT((_end - _text <= (512 * 1024 * 1024)), "kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE");
Nowadays above is not a mandatory form and command-like form is commonly used:
ASSERT(<expr>, "text);
The return value of the ASSERT is Dot. That was implemented in D30171.
It looks like (2) is just a short version of (1) then.
GNU ld does *not* list ASSERT as a SECTIONS command:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/SECTIONS.html#SECTIONS
Given above we probably can change ASSERT to be an assignment to Dot.
That makes the rest of the code much simpler. Patch do that.

The fix is to copy Used when replacing the symbol.
Original message:
Do not keep shared symbols created from garbage-collected eliminated DSOs.
If all references to a DSO happen to be weak, and if the DSO is
specified with --as-needed, the DSO is not added to DT_NEEDED.
If that happens, we also need to eliminate shared symbols created
from the DSO. Otherwise, they become dangling references that point
to non-exsitent DSO.

It turns out we should not use the std::sort anymore.
r327219 added a new wrapper llvm::sort (D39245).
When EXPENSIVE_CHECKS is defined, it shuffles the
input container and that helps to find non-deterministic
ordering.

instead of std::sort

Now that we don't ICF synthetic sections, we can go back to the old
logic on whose responsibility it is to check Repl.
The idea is that Sec->something() will not check Repl. It is the
responsibility of the caller to find the correct Sec.

We had a single symbol using -1 with a synthetic section. It is
simpler to just update its value.
This is not a big will by itself, but will allow having a simple
getOffset for InputSeciton.
llvm-svn: 330340
Using getOffset is here was a bit of an overkill. This is being
written and has relocations. This implies it is a .eh_frame or regular
section.

This is causing large numbers of Chromium test executables to crash on

MIPS ABI requires creation of the MIPS_RLD_MAP dynamic tag for non-PIE
executables only and MIPS_RLD_MAP_REL tag for both PIE and non-PIE
executables. The patch skips definition of the MIPS_RLD_MAP for PIE
files and defines MIPS_RLD_MAP_REL.
The MIPS_RLD_MAP_REL tag stores the offset to the .rld_map section
relative to the address of the tag itself.

I'm proposing a new command line flag, --warn-backrefs in this patch.
The flag and the feature proposed below don't exist in GNU linkers
nor the current lld.
--warn-backrefs is an option to detect reverse or cyclic dependencies
between static archives, and it can be used to keep your program
compatible with GNU linkers after you switch to lld. I'll explain the
feature and why you may find it useful below.
lld's symbol resolution semantics is more relaxed than traditional
Unix linkers. Therefore,
ld.lld foo.a bar.o
succeeds even if bar.o contains an undefined symbol that have to be
resolved by some object file in foo.a. Traditional Unix linkers
don't allow this kind of backward reference, as they visit each
file only once from left to right in the command line while
resolving all undefined symbol at the moment of visiting.
In the above case, since there's no undefined symbol when a linker
visits foo.a, no files are pulled out from foo.a, and because the
linker forgets about foo.a after visiting, it can't resolve
undefined symbols that could have been resolved otherwise.
That lld accepts more relaxed form means (besides it makes more
sense) that you can accidentally write a command line or a build
file that works only with lld, even if you have a plan to
distribute it to wider users who may be using GNU linkers. With
--check-library-dependency, you can detect a library order that
doesn't work with other Unix linkers.
The option is also useful to detect cyclic dependencies between
static archives. Again, lld accepts
ld.lld foo.a bar.a
even if foo.a and bar.a depend on each other. With --warn-backrefs
it is handled as an error.
Here is how the option works. We assign a group ID to each file. A
file with a smaller group ID can pull out object files from an
archive file with an equal or greater group ID. Otherwise, it is a
reverse dependency and an error.
A file outside --{start,end}-group gets a fresh ID when
instantiated. All files within the same --{start,end}-group get the
same group ID. E.g.
ld.lld A B --start-group C D --end-group E
A and B form group 0, C, D and their member object files form group
1, and E forms group 2. I think that you can see how this group
assignment rule simulates the traditional linker's semantics.

Currently LLD sets OutSecOff in addSection for input sections.
That is a fake offset (just a rude approximation to remember the order),
used for sorting SHF_LINK_ORDER sections
(see resolveShfLinkOrder, compareByFilePosition).
There are 2 problems with such approach:
1. We currently change and reuse Size field as a value assigned. Changing size is
not good because leads to bugs. Currently, SIZEOF(.bss) for empty .bss returns 2
because we add two empty synthetic sections and increase size twice by 1.
(See PR37011: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37011)
2. Such approach simply does not work when --symbol-ordering-file is involved,
because processing of the ordering file might break the initial section order.
This fixes PR37011.
