ICF previously operated only within a given OutputSection. We would
merge all CFStrings first, then merge all regular code sections in a
second phase. This worked fine since CFStrings would never reference
regular `__text` sections. However, I would like to expand ICF to merge
functions that reference unwind info. Unwind info references the LSDA
section, which can in turn reference the `__text` section, so we cannot
perform ICF in phases.
In order to have ICF operate on InputSections spanning multiple
OutputSections, we need a way to distinguish InputSections that are
destined for different OutputSections, so that we don't fold across
section boundaries. We achieve this by creating OutputSections early,
and setting `InputSection::parent` to point to them. This is what
LLD-ELF does. (This change should also make it easier to implement the
`section$start$` symbols.)
This diff also folds InputSections w/o checking their flags, which I
think is the right behavior -- if they are destined for the same
OutputSection, they will have the same flags in the output (even if
their input flags differ). I.e. the `parent` pointer check subsumes the
`flags` check. In practice this has nearly no effect (ICF did not become
any more effective on chromium_framework).
I've also updated ICF.cpp's block comment to better reflect its current
status.

This is a pretty big refactoring diff, so here are the motivations:
Previously, ICF ran after scanRelocations(), where we emitting
bind/rebase opcodes etc. So we had a bunch of redundant leftovers after
ICF. Having ICF run before Writer seems like a better design, and is
what LLD-ELF does, so this diff refactors it accordingly.
However, ICF had two dependencies on things occurring in Writer: 1) it
needs literals to be deduplicated beforehand and 2) it needs to know
which functions have unwind info, which was being handled by
`UnwindInfoSection::prepareRelocations()`.
In order to do literal deduplication earlier, we need to add literal
input sections to their corresponding output sections. So instead of
putting all input sections into the big `inputSections` vector, and then
filtering them by type later on, I've changed things so that literal
sections get added directly to their output sections during the 'gather'
phase. Likewise for compact unwind sections -- they get added directly
to the UnwindInfoSection now. This latter change is not strictly
necessary, but makes it easier for ICF to determine which functions have
unwind info.
Adding literal sections directly to their output sections means that we
can no longer determine `inputOrder` from iterating over
`inputSections`. Instead, we store that order explicitly on
InputSection. Bloating the size of InputSection for this purpose would
be unfortunate -- but LLD-ELF has already solved this problem: it reuses
`outSecOff` to store this order value.
One downside of this refactor is that we now make an additional pass
over the unwind info relocations to figure out which functions have
unwind info, since want to know that before `processRelocations()`. I've
made sure to run that extra loop only if ICF is enabled, so there should
be no overhead in non-optimizing runs of the linker.
The upside of all this is that the `inputSections` vector now contains
only ConcatInputSections that are destined for ConcatOutputSections, so
we can clean up a bunch of code that just existed to filter out other
elements from that vector.
I will test for the lack of redundant binds/rebases in the upcoming
cfstring deduplication diff. While binds/rebases can also happen in the
regular `.text` section, they're more common in `.data` sections, so it
seems more natural to test it that way.

Conceptually, the implementation is pretty straightforward: we put each
literal value into a hashtable, and then write out the keys of that
hashtable at the end.
In contrast with ELF, the Mach-O format does not support variable-length
literals that aren't strings. Its literals are either 4, 8, or 16 bytes
in length. LLD-ELF dedups its literals via sorting + uniq'ing, but since
we don't need to worry about overly-long values, we should be able to do
a faster job by just hashing.
That said, the implementation right now is far from optimal, because we
add to those hashtables serially. To parallelize this, we'll need a
basic concurrent hashtable (only needs to support concurrent writes w/o
interleave reads), which shouldn't be to hard to implement, but I'd like
to punt on it for now.

Be less clever when writing the indirect symbols in LC_DYSYMTAB:
lld used to make point __stubs and __la_symbol_ptr point at the
same bytes in the indirect symbol table in the __LINKEDIT segment.
That confused strip, so write the same bytes twice and make
__stubs and __la_symbol_ptr point at one copy each, so that they
don't share data. This unconfuses strip, and seems to be what ld64
does too, so hopefully tools are generally more used to this.
This makes the output binaries a bit larger, but not much: 4 bytes
for roughly each called function from a dylib and each weak function.

Our implementation draws heavily from LLD-ELF's, which in turn delegates
its string deduplication to llvm-mc's StringTableBuilder. The messiness of
this diff is largely due to the fact that we've previously assumed that
all InputSections get concatenated together to form the output. This is
no longer true with CStringInputSections, which split their contents into
StringPieces. StringPieces are much more lightweight than InputSections,
which is important as we create a lot of them. They may also overlap in
the output, which makes it possible for strings to be tail-merged. In
fact, the initial version of this diff implemented tail merging, but
I've dropped it for reasons I'll explain later.
**Alignment Issues**
Mergeable cstring literals are found under the `__TEXT,__cstring`
section. In contrast to ELF, which puts strings that need different
alignments into different sections, clang's Mach-O backend puts them all
in one section. Strings that need to be aligned have the `.p2align`
directive emitted before them, which simply translates into zero padding
in the object file.
I *think* ld64 extracts the desired per-string alignment from this data
by preserving each string's offset from the last section-aligned
address. I'm not entirely certain since it doesn't seem consistent about
doing this; but perhaps this can be chalked up to cases where ld64 has
to deduplicate strings with different offset/alignment combos -- it
seems to pick one of their alignments to preserve. This doesn't seem
correct in general; we can in fact can induce ld64 to produce a crashing
binary just by linking in an additional object file that only contains
cstrings and no code. See PR50563 for details.
Moreover, this scheme seems rather inefficient: since unaligned and
aligned strings are all put in the same section, which has a single
alignment value, it doesn't seem possible to tell whether a given string
doesn't have any alignment requirements. Preserving offset+alignments
for strings that don't need it is wasteful.
In practice, the crashes seen so far seem to stem from x86_64 SIMD
operations on cstrings. X86_64 requires SIMD accesses to be
16-byte-aligned. So for now, I'm thinking of just aligning all strings
to 16 bytes on x86_64. This is indeed wasteful, but implementation-wise
it's simpler than preserving per-string alignment+offsets. It also
avoids the aforementioned crash after deduplication of
differently-aligned strings. Finally, the overhead is not huge: using
16-byte alignment (vs no alignment) is only a 0.5% size overhead when
linking chromium_framework.
With these alignment requirements, it doesn't make sense to attempt tail
merging -- most strings will not be eligible since their overlaps aren't
likely to start at a 16-byte boundary. Tail-merging (with alignment) for
chromium_framework only improves size by 0.3%.
It's worth noting that LLD-ELF only does tail merging at `-O2`. By
default (at `-O1`), it just deduplicates w/o tail merging. @thakis has
also mentioned that they saw it regress compressed size in some cases
and therefore turned it off. `ld64` does not seem to do tail merging at
all.

No behavior change.
Eventually we should apply these lists at symbol parse time instead of
every time shouldExportSymbol() though :)

Has the effect that `__mh_execute_header` stays in the symbol table of
outputs even after running `strip` on the output. I don't know if that's
important for anything -- my motivation for the patch is just is to make
the output more similar to ld64.
(Corresponds to symbolTableInAndNeverStrip in ld64.)

Extend the range of calls beyond an architecture's limited branch range by first calling a thunk, which loads the far address into a scratch register (x16 on ARM64) and branches through it.
Other ports (COFF, ELF) use multiple passes with successively-refined guesses regarding the expansion of text-space imposed by thunk-space overhead. This MachO algorithm places thunks during MergedOutputSection::finalize() in a single pass using exact thunk-space overheads. Thunks are kept in a separate vector to avoid the overhead of inserting into the `inputs` vector of `MergedOutputSection`.
FIXME:
* arm64-stubs.s test is broken
* add thunk tests
* Handle thunks to DylibSymbol in MergedOutputSection::finalize()

@thakis pointed out that `mach_header` and `mach_header_64`
actually have the same set of (used) fields, with the 64-bit version
having extra padding. So we can access the fields we need using the
single `mach_header` type instead of using templates to switch between
the two.
I also spotted a potential issue where hasObjCSection tries to parse a
file w/o checking if it does indeed match the target arch... As such,
I've added a quick magic number check to ensure we don't access invalid
memory during `findCommand()`.
Addresses PR50180.

As preparation for a subsequent diff that implements builtin section renaming, define more `constexpr` strings in namespaces `lld::macho::segment_names` and `lld::macho::section_names`, and use them to replace string literals.

When I added this assert in D93609, it asserted that a symbol that
is privateExtern is also isExternal().
In D98381 the privateExtern check moved into shouldExportSymbol()
but the assert didn't -- now it checked that _every_ non-exported
symbol is isExternal(), which isn't true. Move the assert into the
privateExtern check where it used to be.
Fixes PR50098.

I was a bit confused by the comment because I thought that "Tests
that..." was describing the tests contained within the same file.

This load command records a range spanning from the end of the load
commands to the end of the `__TEXT` segment. Presumably the kernel will encrypt
all this data.
