--section-start=sectionname=org
Locate a section in the output file at the absolute address given by org.
You may use this option as many times as necessary to locate multiple sections in the command line.
org must be a single hexadecimal integer; for compatibility with other linkers,
you may omit the leading `0x' usually associated with hexadecimal values.
Note: there should be no white space between sectionname, the equals sign (“<=>”), and org.
-Tbss=org
-Tdata=org
-Ttext=org
Same as --section-start, with .bss, .data or .text as the sectionname.

Previously, all input files were owned by the symbol table.
Files were created at various places, such as the Driver, the lazy
symbols, or the bitcode compiler, and the ownership of new files
was transferred to the symbol table using std::unique_ptr.
All input files were then free'd when the symbol table is freed
which is on program exit.
I think we don't have to transfer ownership just to free all
instance at once on exit.
In this patch, all instances are automatically collected to a
vector and freed on exit. In this way, we no longer have to
use std::unique_ptr.

Without this flag set, an AArch64 Linux kernel won't try to load the executable
(even if a 32 bit arm kernel will run the binary just fine).

This simplifies error handling as there is now only one place in the
code that needs to consider the possibility that the name is
corrupted. Before we would do it in every access.

On most architectures the linker is required to optimize away any
references to __tls_get_addr in case of static linking. As usual
a special case is MIPS - libc defines __tls_get_addr itself because
there are no TLS optimizations for this architecture.

The primary use of build-id is in debugging, hence omitting debug
sections when computing it significantly reduces its usability as
changes in debug section content wouldn't alter the build-id.

DiscardPolicy is enum replacing several boolean options.
This approach is not only consistent with what we use for
unresolveds (UnresolvedPolicy), but also should help to solve a problem
of options with opposing meanings, mentioned in PR28843

-oformat output-format
`-oformat' option can be used to specify the binary format for the output object file.

The ARM Exception handling ABI requires that all ARM exception index
table sections have a prefix of .ARM.exidx and are combined into a
single contiguous block either in their own output section or as part
of another output section.
In general clang will output a single .ARM.exidx section per object,
but will use .ARM.exidx.<section name> when -ffunction-sections is used.
This change canonicalizes the names of sections with the .ARM.exidx
prefix to just .ARM.exidx, which ensures that there is only a single
output section.

This patch is opposite to D19024, which made this symbols to be hidden by default.
Unfortunately FreeBSD loader wants to see
start_set_modmetadata_set/stop_set_modmetadata_set in the dynamic symbol table.
They were not placed there because had hidden visibility.
Patch makes them to have default visibility again.

The linker will normally set the LMA equal to the VMA.
You can change that by using the AT keyword.
The expression lma that follows the AT keyword specifies
the load address of the section.
Patch implements this keyword.

One reason why we are (ab)using OutputSectionFactory class is
because it owns output sections. Technically there's no need
to have it own sections. So, this patch transfers the ownership
to Out<ELFT>.
llvm-svn: 278452
Even if an output is not a dynamic object, the output may have
.{preinit,init,fini} sections. Therefore, managing these sections
as Out<ELFT>::Dynamic's members is not correct.

The Factory class is too object-oriented-ish and easy to be abused.
This patch reduces dependency to that class. Eventually we want to
remove the dependency to that class from LinkerScript.

Previously, we incrementally updated the reuslting flag as we check
file flags, so it was not very clear who is updating what flags.
This patch makes them pure functions -- that has no side effect and
don't update arguments to improve readability.
Now each function construct a patial result, and all resutls are then
bitwise-OR'ed to construct the final result.
This patch also creates a new file, Mips.cpp, to move all these
MIPS functions to a separate file.

I faced that when tried to link FreeBSD kernel.
It was "duplicate symbol: _edata in (internal) and (internal)" error.
_data was a shared symbol that came from hack.so. At first it was replaced with DefinedRegular by the code
disabled in this patch and later when script tried to define the same symbol - the error was shown.
In the same situation (as given in testcase) ld defines them as UND. gold defines as ABS with zero value.
Patch just disables any operations of creating these symbols if script do layout.

The patch extends the `getMipsEFlags` function. Now in that function
we iterate over all object files, parse ELF header flags and merge them.
If a file is incompatible with previously analyzed ones we show an error
or warning. That can happen if, for example, we try to link files with
incompatible ABI, ISA, NAN encoding etc.
There is an alternative solution. We can check and merge flags and
reject incompatible input modules in the `isCompatible` function which
is called from the `SymbolTable::addFile` method. But in that case we
have to save and keep somewhere a merged ELF flags combination to use it
later in the writer.
