Peter Smith 64f65b02d2 [ELF] Implement --[no-]apply-dynamic-relocs option.
When resolving dynamic RELA relocations the addend is taken from the
relocation and not the place being relocated. Accordingly lld does not
write the addend field to the place like it would for a REL relocation.
Unfortunately there is some system software, in particlar dynamic loaders
such as Bionic's linker64 that use the value of the place prior to
relocation to find the offset that they have been loaded at. Both gold
and bfd control this behavior with the --[no-]apply-dynamic-relocs option.
This change implements the option and defaults it to true for compatibility
with gold and bfd.

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.
