Fangrui Song e05ca38101 [ELF] Don't emit dynamic relocations with weak undef in writable sections
In processRelocAux(), our handling of 1) link-time constant and 2) weak
undef is the same, so put them together to simplify the logic.

This moves the weak undef code around. The result is that: in a writable
section (or -z notext), we will no longer emit dynamic relocations for
weak undefined symbols.

The new behavior seems to match GNU linkers, and improves consistency
with the case of a readonly section.

The condition `!Config->Shared` was there probably because it is common
for a -shared link not to specify full dependencies. Keep it now but we
may revisit the decision in the future.

gABI says:

> The behavior of weak symbols in areas not specified by this document is
> implementation defined. Weak symbols are intended primarily for use in
> system software. Applications using weak symbols are unreliable since
> changes in the runtime environment might cause the execution to fail.

LLVM Linker (lld)

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for the LLVM Linker, a modular cross platform linker which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.

lld is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.

Benchmarking

In order to make sure various developers can evaluate patches over the same tests, we create a collection of self contained programs.
