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.

... 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.

When parsing an object file, LLD interleaves undefined symbol resolution (which
may recursively fetch other lazy objects) with defined symbol resolution.
This may lead to surprising results, e.g. if an object file defines currently
undefined symbols and references another lazy symbol, we may interleave defined
symbols with the lazy fetch, potentially leading to the defined symbols
resolving to different files.
As an example, if both `a.a(a.o)` and `a.a(b.o)` define `foo` (not in COMDAT
group, or in different COMDAT groups) and `__profd_foo` (in COMDAT group
`__profd_foo`). LLD may resolve `foo` to `a.a(a.o)` and `__profd_foo` to
`b.a(b.o)`, i.e. different files.
```
parse ArchiveFile a.a
entry fetches a.a(a.o)
parse ObjectFile a.o
define entry
define foo
reference b
b fetches a.a(b.o)
parse ObjectFile b.o
define prevailing __profd_foo
define (ignored) non-prevailing __profd_foo
```
Assuming a set of interconnected symbols are defined all or none in several lazy
objects. Arguably making them resolve to the same file is preferable than making
them resolve to different files (some are lazy objects).
The main argument favoring the new behavior is the stability. The relative order
between a defined symbol and an undefined symbol does not change the symbol
resolution behavior. Only the relative order between two undefined symbols can
affect fetching behaviors.
---
The real world case is reduced from a Fuchsia PGO usage: `a.a(a.o)` has a
constructor within COMDAT group C5 while `a.a(b.o)` has a constructor within
COMDAT group C2. Because they use different group signatures, they are not
de-duplicated. It is not entirely whether Clang behavior is entirely conforming.
LLD selects the PGO counter section (`__profd_*`) from `a.a(b.o)` and the
constructor section from `a.a(a.o)`. The `__profd_*` is a SHF_LINK_ORDER section
linking to its own non-prevailing constructor section, so LLD errors
`sh_link points to discarded section`. This patch fixes the error.

Any OUTPUT_FORMAT in a linker script overrides the emulation passed on

This prevents confusing error messages. For example, if you explicitly
pass `-m elf_x86_64` to LLD but accidentally include a linker script
which sets `OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)`, LLD would previously complain
about your input files being compatible with elf_x86_64, which isn't the
actual issue, and is confusing because the input files are in fact
x86-64 ELF files.
Interestingly enough, this also prevents a segfault! When we don't pass
`-m` and we have an object file which is incompatible with the
`OUTPUT_FORMAT` set by a linker script, the object file is checked for
compatibility before it's added to the objectFiles vector.

The ELF spec says:
> Furthermore, there may be internal references among these sections that would not make sense if one of the sections were removed or replaced by a duplicate from another object. Therefore, such groups must be included or omitted from the linked object as a unit. A section cannot be a member of more than one group.
GNU ld has 2 behaviors that we don't have:
- Group members (nextInSectionGroup != nullptr) are subject to garbage collection.
This includes non-SHF_ALLOC SHT_NOTE sections.
In particular, discarding non-SHF_ALLOC SHT_NOTE sections is an expected behavior by the Annobin
project. See

- Groups members are retained or discarded as a unit.
Members may have internal references that are not expressed as
SHF_LINK_ORDER, relocations, etc. It seems that we should be more conservative here:
if a section is marked live, mark all the other member within the
group.
Both behaviors are reasonable. This patch implements them.
A new field InputSectionBase::nextInSectionGroup tracks the next member
within a group. on ELF64, this increases sizeof(InputSectionBase) froms
144 to 152.
InputSectionBase::dependentSections tracks section dependencies, which
is used by both --gc-sections and /DISCARD/. We can't overload it for
the "next member" semantic, because we should allow /DISCARD/ to discard
sections independent of --gc-sections (GNU ld behavior). This behavior
may be reasonably used by `/DISCARD/ : { *(.ARM.exidx*) }` or `/DISCARD/

LTO:
If %tundef.o has an undefined reference on f,
and %tweakundef.o has a weak undefined reference on f,
%tdef.o has a definition of f
```
ld.lld %tundef.o %tweakundef.o --start-lib %tdef.o --end-lib
```
1) `%tundef.o` doesn't set the `referenced` bit.
2) `%weakundef.o` changes the binding from STB_GLOBAL to STB_WEAK
3) `%tdef.o` is not fetched because the binding is weak.
Step (1) is incorrect. This patch sets the `referenced` bit of Undefined
created by bitcode files.

This is a case missed by D64136. If %t1.o has a weak reference on foo,
and %t2.so has a non-weak reference on foo:
```
0. ld.lld %t1.o %t2.so # ok; STB_WEAK; accepted since D64136
1. ld.lld %t2.so %t1.o # undefined symbol: foo; STB_GLOBAL
2. gold %t1.o %t2.so # ok; STB_WEAK
3. gold %t2.so %t1.o # undefined reference to 'foo'; STB_GLOBAL
4. ld.bfd %t1.o %t2.so # undefined reference to `foo'; STB_WEAK
5. ld.bfd %t2.so %t1.o # undefined reference to `foo'; STB_WEAK
```
It can be argued that in both cases, the binding of the undefined foo
should be set to STB_WEAK, because the binding should not be affected by
referenced from shared objects.
--allow-shlib-undefined doesn't suppress errors (3,4,5), but -shared or
--noinhibit-exec allows ld.bfd/gold to produce a binary:
```
3. gold -shared %t2.so %t1.o # ok; STB_GLOBAL
4. ld.bfd -shared %t2.so %t1.o # ok; STB_WEAK
5. ld.bfd -shared %t1.o %t1.o # ok; STB_WEAK
```
If %t2.so has DT_NEEDED entries, ld.bfd will load them (lld/gold don't
have the behavior). If one of the DSO defines foo and it is in the
link-time search path (e.g. DT_NEEDED entry is an absolute path, via
-rpath=, via -rpath-link=, etc),
`ld.bfd %t1.o %t2.so` and `ld.bfd %t1.o %t2.so` will not error.
In this patch, we make Undefined and SharedSymbol share the same binding
computing logic. Case 1 will be allowed:
```
0. ld.lld %t1.o %t2.so # ok; STB_WEAK; accepted since D64136
1. ld.lld %t2.so %t1.o # ok; STB_WEAK; changed by this patch
```
In the future, we can explore the option that turns both (0,1) into
errors if --no-allow-shlib-undefined (default when linking an
executable) is in action.

This ports r366573 from COFF to ELF.
There are now to toString(Archive::Symbol), one doing MSVC demangling
in COFF and one doing Itanium demangling in ELF, so rename these two
to toCOFFString() and to toELFString() to not get a duplicate symbol.
Nothing ever passes a raw Archive::Symbol to CHECK(), so these not
being part of the normal toString() machinery seems ok.
There are two code paths in the ELF linker that emits this type of
diagnostic:
1. The "normal" one in InputFiles.cpp. This is covered by the tweaked test.
2. An additional one that's only used for libcalls if there's at least
one bitcode in the link, and if the libcall symbol is lazy, and
lazily loaded from an archive (i.e. not from a lazy .o file).
(This code path was added in r339301.) Since all libcall names so far
are C symbols and never mangled, the change there is not observable
and hence not covered by tests.

It's possible to create IR that uses !associated to refer to a global that
appears later in the module, which can result in these types of forward
references being generated. Unfortunately our assembler does not currently
accept the resulting .s so I needed to use yaml2obj to test this.

In LLDB, when parsing type units, we don't need to parse the whole line
table. Instead, we only need to parse the "support files" from the line
table prologue.
To make that possible, this patch moves the respective functions from
the LineTable into the Prologue. Because I don't think users of the
LineTable should have to know that these files come from the Prologue,
I've left the original methods in place, and made them redirect to the
LineTable.

This removes a call to `object::getSymbol<ELFT>`.
We used this function in a next way: it was given an
array of symbols and index and returned either a symbol
at the index given or a error.
This function was removed in D64631.
(rL366052, but was reverted because of LLD compilation error
that I didn't know about).
It does not make much sense to keep this function on LLVM side
only for LLD, because having only a list of symbols and the index it
is not able to produce a valueable error message about context anyways.

This patch is mechanically generated by clang-llvm-rename tool that I wrote
using Clang Refactoring Engine just for creating this patch. You can see the
source code of the tool at https://reviews.llvm.org/D64123. There's no manual
post-processing; you can generate the same patch by re-running the tool against
lld's code base.
Here is the main discussion thread to change the LLVM coding style:
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-February/130083.html
In the discussion thread, I proposed we use lld as a testbed for variable
naming scheme change, and this patch does that.
I chose to rename variables so that they are in camelCase, just because that
is a minimal change to make variables to start with a lowercase letter.
Note to downstream patch maintainers: if you are maintaining a downstream lld
repo, just rebasing ahead of this commit would cause massive merge conflicts
because this patch essentially changes every line in the lld subdirectory. But
there's a remedy.
clang-llvm-rename tool is a batch tool, so you can rename variables in your
downstream repo with the tool. Given that, here is how to rebase your repo to
a commit after the mass renaming:
1. rebase to the commit just before the mass variable renaming,
2. apply the tool to your downstream repo to mass-rename variables locally, and
3. rebase again to the head.
Most changes made by the tool should be identical for a downstream repo and
for the head, so at the step 3, almost all changes should be merged and
disappear. I'd expect that there would be some lines that you need to merge by
hand, but that shouldn't be too many.

This restores r361830 "[ELF] Error on relocations to STT_SECTION symbols if the sections were discarded"
and dependent commits (r362218, r362497) which were reverted by r364321, with a fix of a --gdb-index issue.
.rela.debug_ranges contains relocations of range list entries:
// start address of a range list entry
// old: 0; after r361830: 0
00000000000033a0 R_X86_64_64 .text._ZN2v88internal7Isolate7factoryEv + 0
// end address of a range list entry
// old: 0xe; after r361830: 0
00000000000033a8 R_X86_64_64 .text._ZN2v88internal7Isolate7factoryEv + e
If both start and end addresses of a range list entry resolve to 0,
DWARFDebugRangeList::isEndOfListEntry() will return true, then the
.debug_range decoding loop will terminate prematurely:
while (true) {
decode StartAddress
decode EndAddress
if (Entry.isEndOfListEntry()) // prematurely
break;
Entries.push_back(Entry);
}
In lld/ELF/SyntheticSections.cpp, readAddressAreas() will read
incomplete address ranges and the resulting .gdb_index will be
incomplete. For files that gdb hasn't loaded their debug info, gdb uses
.gdb_index to map addresses to CUs. The absent entries make gdb fail to
symbolize some addresses.
To address this issue, we simply allow relocations to undefined symbols
in DWARF.cpp:findAux() and let RelocationResolver resolve them.
This patch should fix:

Branch Target Identification (BTI) and Pointer Authentication (PAC) are
architecture features introduced in v8.5a and 8.3a respectively. The new
instructions have been added in the hint space so that binaries take
advantage of support where it exists yet still run on older hardware. The
impact of each feature is:
BTI: For executable pages that have been guarded, all indirect branches
must have a destination that is a BTI instruction of the appropriate type.
For the static linker, this means that PLT entries must have a "BTI c" as
the first instruction in the sequence. BTI is an all or nothing
property for a link unit, any indirect branch not landing on a valid
destination will cause a Branch Target Exception.
PAC: The dynamic loader encodes with PACIA the address of the destination
that the PLT entry will load from the .plt.got, placing the result in a
subset of the top-bits that are not valid virtual addresses. The PLT entry
may authenticate these top-bits using the AUTIA instruction before
branching to the destination. Use of PAC in PLT sequences is a contract
between the dynamic loader and the static linker, it is independent of
whether the relocatable objects use PAC.
BTI and PAC are independent features that can be combined. So we can have
several combinations of PLT:
- Standard with no BTI or PAC
- BTI PLT with "BTI c" as first instruction.
- PAC PLT with "AUTIA1716" before the indirect branch to X17.
- BTIPAC PLT with "BTI c" as first instruction and "AUTIA1716" before the
first indirect branch to X17.
The use of BTI and PAC in relocatable object files are encoded by feature
bits in the .note.gnu.property section in a similar way to Intel CET. There
is one AArch64 specific program property GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_AND
and two target feature bits defined:
- GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI
-- All executable sections are compatible with BTI.
- GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC
-- All executable sections have return address signing enabled.
Due to the properties of FEATURE_1_AND the static linker can tell when all
input relocatable objects have the BTI and PAC feature bits set. The static
linker uses this to enable the appropriate PLT sequence.
Neither -> standard PLT
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI -> BTI PLT
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC -> PAC PLT
Both properties -> BTIPAC PLT
In addition to the .note.gnu.properties there are two new command line
options:
--force-bti : Act as if all relocatable inputs had
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI and warn for every relocatable object
that does not.
--pac-plt : Act as if all relocatable inputs had
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC. As PAC is a contract between the loader
and static linker no warning is given if it is not present in an input.
Two processor specific dynamic tags are used to communicate that a non
standard PLT sequence is being used.
DTI_AARCH64_BTI_PLT and DTI_AARCH64_BTI_PAC.

Although many relocatable objects will have a single
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_AND in the .note.gnu.property section it is
permissible to have more than one, and there are tests in ld.bfd that use
it. The behavior that ld.bfd follows is to set the feature bit for a
relocatable object if any of the GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_AND
have the feature bit set.

This is implemented by creating Undefined (instead of Defined) for such
local STT_SECTION symbols. It allows us to catch errors when there are
relocations to such discarded sections (e.g. in PR41693, ld.bfd and gold
error but we don't). Updated comdat-discarded-error.s checks we emit
friendly error message.
For relocatable-eh-frame.s, ld.lld -r a.o a.o will now error
"STT_SECTION symbol should be defined" because the section .eh_frame
refers to is now an Undefined instead of a Defined.
So I have to change `error()` to `warn()` to retain the output.
rLLD361144 inadvertently enabled the error for --gdb-index

Relocations from .debug_info (not in comdat) to .text.* (in comdat) for
