Some parts of the code changed are a bit old. I found traces in 2016.
Initiall commits has test cases and perhaps reasonable comments.
For example, we had segfaults earlier and had the code to fix them.
Now, in 2018, I think it is excessive to have these parts, because
we do not have segfaults and our code was changed a lot (softly saying).
I reviewed the current sources and I think that at this point of the
execution flow, we should never face with
the conditions checked and so I removing them in this patch.

This change adds experimental support for SHT_RELR sections, proposed

Pass '--pack-dyn-relocs=relr' to enable generation of SHT_RELR section
and DT_RELR, DT_RELRSZ, and DT_RELRENT dynamic tags.
Definitions for the new ELF section type and dynamic array tags, as well
as the encoding used in the new section are all under discussion and are
subject to change. Use with caution!
Pass '--use-android-relr-tags' with '--pack-dyn-relocs=relr' to use
SHT_ANDROID_RELR section type instead of SHT_RELR, as well as
DT_ANDROID_RELR* dynamic tags instead of DT_RELR*. The generated
section contents are identical.
'--pack-dyn-relocs=android+relr --use-android-relr-tags' enables both
'--pack-dyn-relocs=android' and '--pack-dyn-relocs=relr': lld will
encode the relative relocations in a SHT_ANDROID_RELR section, and pack
the rest of the dynamic relocations in a SHT_ANDROID_REL(A) section.

LLD removes empty output sections otherwise specified in the linker
script. Prior to this change however, if section descriptions included
ANY kind of symbol assignment, then the consequent output section would
not be removed, even if the assignment was marked with PROVIDE and not
actually triggered (i.e. the symbol was never referenced). This change
modifies the isDiscarable function to ignore such directives when
determining whether a section should be discarded, in keeping with
bfd's behaviour. Symbol assignments that do result in a symbol
definition will continue to result in a kept section (this is not
actually the same as bfd's behaviour, but it is simpler, and probably
makes more sense).

Currently, LLD supports ASSERT as a separate command.
We support two forms now.
Assign expression-form: . = ASSERT(0x100)
(old GNU ld required it and some scripts in the wild are still using
something like . = ASSERT((_end - _text <= (512 * 1024 * 1024)), "kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE");
Nowadays above is not a mandatory form and command-like form is commonly used:
ASSERT(<expr>, "text);
The return value of the ASSERT is Dot. That was implemented in D30171.
It looks like (2) is just a short version of (1) then.
GNU ld does *not* list ASSERT as a SECTIONS command:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/SECTIONS.html#SECTIONS
Given above we probably can change ASSERT to be an assignment to Dot.
That makes the rest of the code much simpler. Patch do that.

Currently LLD sets OutSecOff in addSection for input sections.
That is a fake offset (just a rude approximation to remember the order),
used for sorting SHF_LINK_ORDER sections
(see resolveShfLinkOrder, compareByFilePosition).
There are 2 problems with such approach:
1. We currently change and reuse Size field as a value assigned. Changing size is
not good because leads to bugs. Currently, SIZEOF(.bss) for empty .bss returns 2
because we add two empty synthetic sections and increase size twice by 1.
(See PR37011: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37011)

I think this code can be simplified a bit, but I would like to check

This is not something that bfd does. The issue is not noticed in bfd
because it keeps fewer sections from the linkerscript in the output.
The reasons why it seems reasonable to do this:
- As George noticed, we would still keep the flags if the output
section had both an empty synthetic section and a regular section
- We need an heuristic to find the flags of output sections. Using the
flags of a synthetic section that would have been there seems a
reasonable heuristic.

If two sections are in the same PT_LOAD, their relatives offsets,
virtual address and physical addresses are all the same.
I initially wanted to have a single global LMAOffset, on the
assumption that every ELF file was in practiced loaded contiguously in
both physical and virtual memory.
Unfortunately that is not the case. The linux kernel has:
LOAD 0x200000 0xffffffff81000000 0x0000000001000000 0xced000 0xced000 R E 0x200000
LOAD 0x1000000 0xffffffff81e00000 0x0000000001e00000 0x15f000 0x15f000 RW 0x200000
LOAD 0x1200000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000001f5f000 0x01b198 0x01b198 RW 0x200000
LOAD 0x137b000 0xffffffff81f7b000 0x0000000001f7b000 0x116000 0x1ec000 RWE 0x200000
The delta for all but the third PT_LOAD is the same:
0xffffffff80000000. I think the 3rd one is a hack for implementing per
cpu data, but we can't break that.
llvm-svn: 323456
This fixes the crash reported at PR36083.
The issue is that we were trying to put all the sections in the same
PT_LOAD and crashing trying to write past the end of the file.
This also adds accounting for used space in LMARegion, without it all
3 PT_LOADs would have the same physical address.
llvm-svn: 323449
When a section placement (AT) command references the section itself,

Previously, in r320472, I moved the calculation of section offsets and sizes
for compressed debug sections into maybeCompress, which happens before
assignAddresses, so that the compression had the required information. However,
I failed to take account of relocations that patch such sections. This had two
effects:
1. A race condition existed when a debug section referred to a different debug
section (see PR35788).
2. References to symbols in non-debug sections would be patched incorrectly.
This is because the addresses of such symbols are not calculated until after
assignAddresses (this was a partial regression caused by r320472, but they
could still have been broken before, in the event that a custom layout was used
in a linker script).
assignAddresses does not need to know about the output section size of
non-allocatable sections, because they do not affect the value of Dot. This
means that there is no longer a reason not to support custom layout of
compressed debug sections, as far as I'm aware. These two points allow for
delaying when maybeCompress can be called, removing the need for the loop I
previously added to calculate the section size, and therefore the race
condition. Furthermore, by delaying, we fix the issues of relocations getting
incorrect symbol values, because they have now all been finalized.

Patch by Owen Shaw!
llvm-svn: 321418
The size of an OutputSection is calculated early, to aid handling of compressed
debug sections. However, subsequent to this point, unused synthetic sections are
removed. In the event that an OutputSection, from which such an InputSection is
removed, is still required (e.g. because it has a symbol assignment), and no longer
has any InputSections, dot assignments, or BYTE()-family directives, the size
member is never updated when processing the commands. If the removed InputSection
had a non-zero size (such as a .got.plt section), the section ends up with the
wrong size in the output.
The fix is to reset the OutputSection size prior to processing the linker script
commands relating to that OutputSection. This ensures that the size is correct even
in the above situation.
Additionally, to reduce the risk of developers misusing OutputSection Size and
InputSection OutSecOff, they are set to simply the number of InputSections in an
OutputSection, and the corresponding index respectively. We cannot completely
stop using them, due to SHF_LINK_ORDER sections requiring them.
Compressed debug sections also require the full size. This is now calculated in
maybeCompress for these kinds of sections.

When an output section has no byte commands and has no input sections then it

changes (which double as tests for this new behavior) but extend-pt-load.s had
