Currenlty PseudoProbeInserter is a pass conditioned on a target switch. It works well with a single clang invocation. It doesn't work so well when the backend is called separately (i.e, through the linker or llc), where user has always to pass -pseudo-probe-for-profiling explictly. I'm making the pass a default pass that requires no command line arg to trigger, but will be actually run depending on whether the CU comes with `llvm.pseudo_probe_desc` metadata.

```

-M is mainly for input section/symbol assignment <-> output section mapping

--why-extract= gives the user the full data (which is much shorter than GNU ld
-Map). It is easy to track a chain of references to one archive member with a
one-liner, e.g.
```
% ld.lld main.o a_b.a b_c.a c.a -o /dev/null --why-extract=- | tee stdout
reference extracted symbol
main.o a_b.a(a_b.o) a

b_c.a(b_c.o) extracts c.a(c.o) to resolve c()
a_b.a(a_b.o) extracts b_c.a(b_c.o) to resolve b()
main.o extracts a_b.a(a_b.o) to resolve a

Archive member extraction happens before --gc-sections, so this may not be a live path
under --gc-sections, but I think it is a good approximation in practice.

The address of a vague linkage function (STB_WEAK STT_FUNC, e.g. an inline
function, a template instantiation) seen by a -Bsymbolic-functions linked
shared object may be different from the address seen from outside the shared

`-fvisibility-inlines-hidden` to break such pointer equality. On Windows,
correct dllexport and dllimport are needed to make pointer equality work.
Windows link.exe enables /OPT:ICF by default so different inline functions may
have the same address.)

-Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions is a safer (C++ conforming) subset of
-Bsymbolic-functions, which can make such programs work.
Implementations usually emit a vague linkage definition in a COMDAT group. We
could detect the group (with more code) but I feel that we should just check
STB_WEAK for simplicity. A weak definition will thus serve as an escape hatch

When they are invoked on object file before the final linking step with this new approach the symbol indices correctness is preserved.
The GNU binutils tools change the REL section to RELA section, unlike llvm tools. For example when strip -S is run on the ELF object files, as an intermediate step before linking.

There used to be many cases where addends for Elf_Rel were not emitted in
the final object file (mostly when building for MIPS64 since the input .o
files use RELA but the output uses REL). These cases have been fixed since,
but this patch adds a check to ensure that the written values are correct.
It is based on a previous patch that I added to the CHERI fork of LLD since
we were using MIPS64 as a baseline. The work has now almost entirely
shifted to RISC-V and Arm Morello (which use Elf_Rela), but I thought
it would be useful to upstream our local changes anyway.
This patch adds a (hidden) command line flag --check-dynamic-relocations
that can be used to enable these checks. It is also on by default in
assertions builds for targets that handle all dynamic relocations kinds
that LLD can emit in Target::getImplicitAddend(). Currently this is

... even on targets preferring RELA. The section is only consumed by ld.lld

Follow-up to D104080 as I explained in the review. There are two advantages:
* The D104080 code only handles RELA, so arm/i386/mips32 etc may warn for -fprofile-use=/-fprofile-sample-use= usage.
* Decrease object file size for RELA targets
While here, change the relocation to relocate weights, instead of 0,1,2,3,..
I failed to catch the issue during review.
Currently when .llvm.call-graph-profile is created by llvm it explicitly encodes the symbol indices. This section is basically a black box for post processing tools. For example, if we run strip -s on the object files the symbol table changes, but indices in that section do not. In non-visible behavior indices point to wrong symbols. The visible behavior indices point outside of Symbol table: "invalid symbol index".
This patch changes the format by using R_*_NONE relocations to indicate the from/to symbols. The Frequency (Weight) will still be in the .llvm.call-graph-profile, but symbol information will be in relocation section. In LLD information from both sections is used to reconstruct call graph profile. Relocations themselves will never be applied.
With this approach post processing tools that handle relocations correctly work for this section also. Tools can add/remove symbols and as long as they handle relocation sections with this approach information stays correct.
Doing a quick experiment with clang-13.
The size went up from 107KB to 322KB, aggregate of all the input sections. Size of clang-13 binary is ~118MB. For users of -fprofile-use/-fprofile-sample-use the size of object files will go up slightly, it will not impact final binary size.

Fix PR49897: if `__real_foo` has the isUsedInRegularObj bit set, we need to
retain `foo` in .symtab, even if `foo` is undefined. The new behavior will match
GNU ld.
Before the patch, we produced an R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT relocation referencing the
index 0 undefined symbol, which would be erroed by glibc
(see f96ff3c0f8).
While here, fix another bug: if `__wrap_foo` does not exist, its initial binding
should be `foo`'s.
Change the default to facilitate GC for metadata section usage, so that they
don't need SHF_LINK_ORDER or SHF_GROUP just to drop the unhelpful rule (if they
want to be unconditionally retained, use SHF_GNU_RETAIN
(`__attribute__((retain))`) or linker script `KEEP`).
The dropped SHF_GROUP special case makes the behavior of -z start-stop-gc and -z
nostart-stop-gc closer to GNU ld>=2.37 (https://sourceware.org/PR27451).
However, we default to -z start-stop-gc (which actually matches more closely to
GNU ld before 2015-10 https://sourceware.org/PR19167), which is different from
modern GNU ld (which has the unhelpful rule to work around glibc). As a
compensation, we special case `__libc_` sections as a workaround for glibc<2.34
(https://sourceware.org/PR27492).
Since -z start-stop-gc as the default actually matches the traditional GNU ld
behavior, there isn't much to be aware of. There was a systemd usage which has

For one metadata section usage, each text section references a metadata section.
The metadata sections have a C identifier name to allow the runtime to collect them via `__start_/__stop_` symbols.
Since `__start_`/`__stop_` references are always present from live sections, the
C identifier name sections appear like GC roots, which means they cannot be
discarded by `ld --gc-sections`.
To make such sections GCable, either SHF_LINK_ORDER or a section group is needed.
SHF_LINK_ORDER is not suitable for the references can be inlined into other functions
(See D97430:
Function A (in the section .text.A) references its `__sancov_guard` section.
Function B inlines A (so now .text.B references `__sancov_guard` - this is invalid with the semantics of SHF_LINK_ORDER).
In the linking stage,
if `.text.A` gets discarded, and `__sancov_guard` is retained via the reference from `.text.B`,
the output will be invalid because `__sancov_guard` references the discarded `.text.A`.
LLD errors "sh_link points to discarded section".
)
A section group have size overhead, and is cumbersome when there is just one metadata section.
Add `-z start-stop-gc` to drop the "__start_/__stop_ references retain
non-SHF_LINK_ORDER non-SHF_GROUP C identifier name sections" rule.
We reserve the rights to switch the default in the future.

If foo is referenced in any object file, bitcode file or shared object,

If the object file defining foo has foo references, we cannot easily distinguish

* foo@v1 (non-default version) resolves undefined foo@v1
Note, foo@@v1 must be defined (the assembler errors if attempting to
create an undefined foo@@v1).
For defined foo@@v1 in a shared object, we call `SymbolTable::addSymbol` twice,
one for foo and the other for foo@v1. We don't do the same for object files, so
foo@@v1 defined in one object file incorrectly does not resolve a foo@v1
reference in another object file.
This patch fixes the issue by reusing the --wrap code to redirect symbols in
object files. This has to be done after processing input files because
foo and foo@v1 are two separate symbols if we haven't seen foo@@v1.

as the GOT relocation for the associated R_PPC64_GOT_PCREL34 relocation.
On Power10 targets with PC-Relative addressing, the linker can relax
GOT-relative accesses to PC-Relative under some conditions. Since the sequence
consists of a prefixed load, followed by a non-prefixed access (load or store),
the linker needs to replace the first instruction (as the replacement
instruction will be prefixed). The compiler communicates to the linker that
this optimization is safe by placing the two aforementioned relocations on the
GOT load (of the address).
The linker then does two things:
- Convert the load from the got into a PC-Relative add to compute the address
relative to the PC
- Find the instruction referred to by the second relocation (R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT)
and replace the first with the PC-Relative version of it
It is important to synchronize the mapping from legacy memory instructions to
their PC-Relative form. Hence, this patch adds a file to be included by both
the compiler and the linker so they're always in agreement.

To get GNU ld (as of binutils 2.35)'s behavior:
```

-z dead-reloc-in-nonalloc=.debug_ranges=1

This option has other use cases. For example, if we want to check

With this patch, we can run a regular LLD and run another with a special

This change introduces an LLD switch --thinlto-single-module to allow compiling only a part of the input modules. This is specifically enables:
1. Fast investigating/debugging modules of interest without spending time on compiling unrelated modules.
2. Compiler debug dump with -mllvm -debug-only= for specific modules.
It will be useful for large applications which has 1K+ input modules for thinLTO.
The switch can be combined with `--lto-obj-path=` or `--lto-emit-asm` to obtain intermediate object files or assembly files. So far the module name matching is implemented as a fuzzy name lookup where the modules with name containing the switch value are compiled.
E.g,

ld.lld main.o thin.a --thinlto-single-module=thin.a --lto-obj-path=single.o
log:

LLD supports both REL and RELA for static relocations, but emits either
of REL and RELA for dynamic relocations. The relocation entry format is
specified by each psABI.
musl ld.so supports both REL and RELA. For such ld.so implementations,
REL (.rel.dyn .rel.plt) has size benefits even if the psABI chooses RELA:
sizeof(Elf64_Rel)=16 < sizeof(Elf64_Rela)=24.
* COPY, GLOB_DAT and J[U]MP_SLOT always have 0 addend. A ld.so
implementation does not need to read the implicit addend.
REL is strictly better.
* A RELATIVE has a non-zero addend. Such relocations can be packed
compactly with the RELR relocation entry format, which is out of scope
of this patch.
* For other dynamic relocation types (e.g. symbolic relocation R_X86_64_64),
a ld.so implementation needs to read the implicit addend. REL may have
minor performance impact, because reading implicit addends forces
random access reads instead of being able to blast out a bunch of
writes while chasing the relocation array.
This patch adds -z rel and -z rela to change the relocation entry format
for dynamic relocations. I have tested that a -z rel produced x86-64
executable works with musl ld.so
-z rela may be useful for debugging purposes on processors whose psABIs
specify REL as the canonical format: addends can be easily read by a tool.

I'm hooking it up with lld. With that switch, lld emits assembly code into the output file (specified by -o) and if there are multiple input files, each of their assembly code will be emitted into a separate file named by suffixing the output file name with a unique number, respectively. The linking then stops after generating those assembly files.

D77522 changed --warn-backrefs to not warn for linking sandwich
problems (-ldef1 -lref -ldef2). This removed lots of false positives.
However, glibc still has some problems. libc.a defines some symbols
which are normally in libm.a and libpthread.a, e.g. __isnanl/raise.
For a linking order `-lm -lpthread -lc`, I have seen:
```
// different resolutions: GNU ld/gold select libc.a(s_isnan.o) as the definition
backward reference detected: __isnanl in libc.a(printf_fp.o) refers to libm.a(m_isnanl.o)
// different resolutions: GNU ld/gold select libc.a(raise.o) as the definition
backward reference detected: raise in libc.a(abort.o) refers to libpthread.a(pt-raise.o)
```
To facilitate deployment of --warn-backrefs, add --warn-backrefs-exclude= so that
certain known issues (which may be impractical to fix) can be whitelisted.
Deliberate choices:
* Not a comma-separated list (`--warn-backrefs-exclude=liba.a,libb.a`).
-Wl, splits the argument at commas, so we cannot use commas.
--export-dynamic-symbol is similar.
* Not in the style of `--warn-backrefs='*' --warn-backrefs=-liba.a`.
We just need exclusion, not inclusion. For easier build system
integration, we should avoid order dependency. With the current

--warn-backrefs-exclude=<glob> to their LDFLAGS.

This is an alternative design to D77512.
D45195 added --warn-backrefs to detect

or has different resolution semantics
* B. (byproduct) some latent multiple definition problems (-ldef1 -lref -ldef2) which I
call "linking sandwich problems". def2 may or may not be the same as def1.
When an archive appears more than once (-ldef -lref -ldef), lld and GNU
ld may have the same resolution but --warn-backrefs may warn. This is
not uncommon. For example, currently lld itself has such a problem:
```
liblldCommon.a liblldCOFF.a ... liblldCommon.a
_ZN3lld10DWARFCache13getDILineInfoEmm in liblldCOFF.a refers to liblldCommon.a(DWARF.cpp.o)
libLLVMSupport.a also appears twice and has a similar warning
```
glibc has such problems. It is somewhat destined because of its separate
libc/libpthread/... and arbitrary grouping. The situation is getting
improved over time but I have seen:
```
-lc __isnanl references -lm
-lc _IO_funlockfile references -lpthread
```
There are also various issues in interaction with other runtime
libraries such as libgcc_eh and libunwind:
```
-lc __gcc_personality_v0 references -lgcc_eh
-lpthread __gcc_personality_v0 references -lgcc_eh
-lpthread _Unwind_GetCFA references -lunwind
```
These problems are actually benign. We want --warn-backrefs to focus on
its main task A and defer task B (which is also useful) to a more
specific future feature (see gold --detect-odr-violations and
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43110).
Instead of warning immediately, we store the message and only report it

This patch adds lld support for basic block sections and performs relaxations
after the basic blocks have been reordered.
After the linker has reordered the basic block sections according to the
desired sequence, it runs a relaxation pass to optimize jump instructions.
Currently, the compiler emits the long form of all jump instructions. AMD64 ISA
supports variants of jump instructions with one byte offset or a four byte
offset. The compiler generates jump instructions with R_X86_64 32-bit PC
relative relocations. We would like to use a new relocation type for these jump
instructions as it makes it easy and accurate while relaxing these instructions.
The relaxation pass does two things:
First, it deletes all explicit fall-through direct jump instructions between
adjacent basic blocks. This is done by discarding the tail of the basic block
section.
Second, If there are consecutive jump instructions, it checks if the first
conditional jump can be inverted to convert the second into a fall through and
delete the second.
The jump instructions are relaxed by using jump instruction mods, something
like relocations. These are used to modify the opcode of the jump instruction.
Jump instruction mods contain three values, instruction offset, jump type and
size. While writing this jump instruction out to the final binary, the linker
uses the jump instruction mod to determine the opcode and the size of the
modified jump instruction. These mods are required because the input object
files are memory-mapped without write permissions and directly modifying the
object files requires copying these sections. Copying a large number of basic
block sections significantly bloats memory.

Before this patch, it wasn't possible to extend the ThinLTO threads to all SMT/CMT threads in the system. Only one thread per core was allowed, instructed by usage of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() in the ThinLTO code. Any number passed to the LLD flag /opt:lldltojobs=..., or any other ThinLTO-specific flag, was previously interpreted in the context of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency(), which means SMT disabled.
One can now say in LLD:
/opt:lldltojobs=0 -- Use one std::thread / hardware core in the system (no SMT). Default value if flag not specified.
/opt:lldltojobs=N -- Limit usage to N threads, regardless of usage of heavyweight_hardware_concurrency().
/opt:lldltojobs=all -- Use all hardware threads in the system. Equivalent to /opt:lldltojobs=$(nproc) on Linux and /opt:lldltojobs=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% on Windows. When an affinity mask is set for the process, threads will be created only for the cores selected by the mask.
When N > number-of-hardware-threads-in-the-system, the threads in the thread pool will be dispatched equally on all CPU sockets (tested only on Windows).
When N <= number-of-hardware-threads-on-a-CPU-socket, the threads will remain on the CPU socket where the process started (only on Windows).

Doing this in lld is particularly convenient as the --reproduce option

to add --shuffle-sections=0 to the response file and relink before each

Third part in series to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization
Enablement, see RFC here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
This patch adds type test metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
even for classes without hidden visibility. It then changes WPD to skip
devirtualization for a virtual function call when any of the compatible
vtables has public vcall visibility.
Additionally, internal LLVM options as well as lld and gold-plugin
options are added which enable upgrading all public vcall visibility
to linkage unit (hidden) visibility during LTO. This enables the more
aggressive WPD to kick in based on LTO time knowledge of the visibility
guarantees.
Support was added to all flavors of LTO WPD (regular, hybrid and
index-only), and to both the new and old LTO APIs.
Unfortunately it was not simple to split the first and second parts of
this part of the change (the unconditional emission of type tests and
the upgrading of the vcall visiblity) as I needed a way to upgrade the
public visibility on legacy WPD llvm assembly tests that don't include
linkage unit vcall visibility specifiers, to avoid a lot of test churn.
I also added a mechanism to LowerTypeTests that allows dropping type
test assume sequences we now aggressively insert when we invoke
distributed ThinLTO backends with null indexes, which is used in testing
mode, and which doesn't invoke the normal ThinLTO backend pipeline.
Depends on D71907 and D71911.

The code doesn't apply the fix correctly to relocatable links. I could
try to fix the code that applies the fix, but it's pointless: we don't
actually know what the offset will be in the final executable. So just
ignore the flag for relocatable links.

This patch is a joint work by Rui Ueyama and me based on D58102 by Xiang Zhang.
It adds Intel CET (Control-flow Enforcement Technology) support to lld.
The implementation follows the draft version of psABI which you can
download from https://github.com/hjl-tools/x86-psABI/wiki/X86-psABI.
CET introduces a new restriction on indirect jump instructions so that
you can limit the places to which you can jump to using indirect jumps.
In order to use the feature, you need to compile source files with
-fcf-protection=full.
* IBT is enabled if all input files are compiled with the flag. To force enabling ibt, pass -z force-ibt.
* SHSTK is enabled if all input files are compiled with the flag, or if -z shstk is specified.
IBT-enabled executables/shared objects have two PLT sections, ".plt" and
".plt.sec". For the details as to why we have two sections, please read
the comments.

In GNU ld, -Ttext sets the address of the .text section and -Ttext-segment sets the address of the text segment (RX).
gold only supports the -Ttext-segment semantic and treats -Ttext as an alias for -Ttext-segment.
lld only supports the -Ttext semantic and treats -Ttext-segment as an
alias for -Ttext. The text segment will be assigned to an address less
than the specified -Ttext-segment value.
This patch drops the -Ttext-segment alias.
The text segment is traditionally the first segment. Users who specify
-Ttext-segment may actually want to specify --image-base, the lld way to
express this. Unfortunately currently this is supported by GNU ld's
COFF port but not by its ELF port. gold does not support this option.
With -z separate-code, the behavior of GNU ld -Ttext-segment is weird (see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25207)
rL289827 introduced the alias for linking qemu's non-pie user mode

This change is for those who use lld as a library. Context:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D70287
This patch adds a new parmeter to lld::*::link() so that we can pass
an raw_ostream object representing stdout. Previously, lld::*::link()
took only an stderr object.
Justification for making stdoutOS and stderrOS mandatory: I wanted to
make link() functions to take stdout and stderr in that order.
However, if we change the function signature from
bool link(ArrayRef<const char *> args, bool canExitEarly,
raw_ostream &stderrOS = llvm::errs());
to
bool link(ArrayRef<const char *> args, bool canExitEarly,
raw_ostream &stdoutOS = llvm::outs(),
raw_ostream &stderrOS = llvm::errs());
, then the meaning of existing code that passes stderrOS silently
changes (stderrOS would be interpreted as stdoutOS). So, I chose to
make existing code not to compile, so that developers can fix their
code.

Summary:
Add a flag `F_no_mmap` to `FileOutputBuffer` to support
`--[no-]mmap-output-file` in ELF LLD. LLD currently explicitly ignores
this flag for compatibility with GNU ld and gold.
We need this flag to speed up link time for large binaries in certain
scenarios. When we link some of our larger binaries we find that LLD
takes 50+ GB of memory, which causes memory pressure. The memory
pressure causes the VM to flush dirty pages of the output file to disk.
This is normally okay, since we should be flushing cold pages. However,
when using BtrFS with compression we need to write 128KB at a time when
we flush a page. If any page in that 128KB block is written again, then
it must be flushed a second time, and so on. Since LLD doesn't write
sequentially this causes write amplification. The same 128KB block will
end up being flushed multiple times, causing the linker to many times
more IO than necessary. We've observed 3-5x faster builds with
-no-mmap-output-file when we hit this scenario.
The bad scenario only applies to compressed filesystems, which group
together multiple pages into a single compressed block. I've tested
BtrFS, but the problem will be present for any compressed filesystem
on Linux, since it is caused by the VM.
Silently ignoring --no-mmap-output-file caused a silent regression when
we switched from gold to lld. We pass --no-mmap-output-file to fix this
edge case, but since lld silently ignored the flag we didn't realize it
wasn't being respected.
Benchmark building a 9 GB binary that exposes this edge case. I linked 3
times with --mmap-output-file and 3 times with --no-mmap-output-file and
took the average. The machine has 24 cores @ 2.4 GHz, 112 GB of RAM,
BtrFS mounted with -compress-force=zstd, and an 80% full disk.
| Mode | Time |
|---------|-------|
| mmap | 894 s |
| no mmap | 126 s |
When compression is disabled, BtrFS performs just as well with and
without mmap on this benchmark.
I was unable to reproduce the regression with any binaries in
lld-speed-test.

D64906 allows PT_LOAD to have overlapping p_offset ranges. In the
default R RX RW RW layout + -z noseparate-code case, we do not tail pad
segments when transiting to another segment. This can save at most
3*maxPageSize bytes.
a) Before D64906, we tail pad R, RX and the first RW.
b) With -z separate-code, we tail pad R and RX, but not the first RW (RELRO).
In some cases, b) saves one file page. In some cases, b) wastes one
virtual memory page. The waste is a concern on Fuchsia. Because it uses
compressed binaries, it doesn't benefit from the saved file page.
This patch adds -z separate-loadable-segments to restore the behavior before
D64906. It can affect section addresses and can thus be used as a
debugging mechanism (see PR43214 and ld.so partition bug in

finalizeInputSections() merges MergeInputSections and migrates
`sectionBases` to `sections`.
For the -r case, we drop an optimization that tries keeping sh_entsize

The --fix-cortex-a8 option implements a linker workaround for the
coretex-a8 erratum 657417. A summary of the erratum conditions is:
- A 32-bit Thumb-2 branch instruction B.w, Bcc.w, BL, BLX spans two
4KiB regions.
- The destination of the branch is to the first 4KiB region.
- The instruction before the branch is a 32-bit Thumb-2 non-branch
instruction.
The linker fix is to redirect the branch to a patch not in the first
4KiB region. The patch forwards the branch on to its target.
The cortex-a8, is an old CPU, with the first implementation of this
workaround in ld.bfd appearing in 2009. The cortex-a8 has been used in
early Android Phones and there are some critical applications that still
need to run on a cortex-a8 that have the erratum. The patch is applied
roughly 10 times on LLD and 20 on Clang when they are built with
--fix-cortex-a8 on an Arm system.
The formal erratum description is avaliable in the ARM Core Cortex-A8
(AT400/AT401) Errata Notice document. This is available from Arm on
request but it seems to be findable via a web search.

Recommit r370635 (reverted by r371202), with one change: move addOrphanSections() before ICF.
Before, orphan sections in two different partitions may be folded and
moved to the main partition.
Now, InputSection->OutputSection assignment for orphans happens before
ICF. ICF does not fold input sections with different output sections.
With the PR43241 reproduce,
`llvm-objcopy --extract-partition libvr.so libchrome__combined.so libvr.so` => no error
Updated description:
Fixes PR39418. Complements D47241 (the non-linker-script case).
processSectionCommands() assigns input sections to output sections.
ICF is called before it, so .text.foo and .text.bar may be folded even if
their output sections are made different by SECTIONS commands.
```
markLive<ELFT>()
doIcf<ELFT>() // During ICF, we don't know the output sections
writeResult()
combineEhSections<ELFT>()
script->processSectionCommands() // InputSection -> OutputSection assignment
```
This patch splits processSectionCommands() into processSectionCommands()
and processSymbolAssignments(), and moves
processSectionCommands()/addOrphanSections() before ICF:
```
markLive<ELFT>()
combineEhSections<ELFT>()
script->processSectionCommands()
script->addOrphanSections();
doIcf<ELFT>() // should remove folded input sections
writeResult()
script->processSymbolAssignments()
```
An alternative approach is to unfold a section `sec` in
processSectionCommands() when we find `sec` and `sec->repl` belong to
different output sections. I feel this patch is superior because this
can fold more sections and the decouple of
SectionCommand/SymbolAssignment gives flexibility:
* An ExprValue can't be evaluated before its section is assigned to an
output section -> we can delete getOutputSectionVA and simplify
another place where we had to check if the output section is null.
Moreover, a case in linkerscript/early-assign-symbol.s can be handled
now.
* processSectionCommands/processSymbolAssignments can be freely moved
around.

We prioritize non-* wildcards overs VER_NDX_LOCAL/VER_NDX_GLOBAL "*".
This patch generalizes the rule to "*" of other versions and thus fixes PR40176.
I don't feel strongly about this GNU linkers' behavior but the
generalization simplifies code.
Delete `config->defaultSymbolVersion` which was used to special case
VER_NDX_LOCAL/VER_NDX_GLOBAL "*".
In `SymbolTable::scanVersionScript`, custom versions are handled the same
way as VER_NDX_LOCAL/VER_NDX_GLOBAL. So merge
`config->versionScript{Locals,Globals}` into `config->versionDefinitions`.
Overall this seems to simplify the code.
In `SymbolTable::assign{Exact,Wildcard}Versions`,
`sym->verdefIndex == config->defaultSymbolVersion` is changed to
`verdefIndex == UINT32_C(-1)`.
This allows us to give duplicate assignment diagnostics for
`{ global: foo; };` `V1 { global: foo; };`
In test/linkerscript/version-script.s:
vs_index of an undefined symbol changes from 0 to 1. This doesn't matter (arguably 1 is better because the binding is STB_GLOBAL) because vs_index of an undefined symbol is ignored.
