Currently there are a few odd things about the warning about symbols
that cannot be ordered. This patch fixes:
* When there is an undefined symbol that resolves to a shared file, we
were printing the location of the undefined reference.
* If there are multiple comdats, we were reporting them all.

It generally does not matter much where we place sections ordered
by --symbol-ordering-file relative to other sections. But if the
ordered sections are hot (which is the case already for some users
of --symbol-ordering-file, and is increasingly more likely to be
the case once profile-guided section layout lands) and the target
has limited-range branches, it is beneficial to place the ordered
sections in the middle of the output section in order to decrease
the likelihood that a range extension thunk will be required to call
a hot function from a cold function or vice versa.
That is what this patch does. After D44966 it reduces the size of

This is the same as 327248 except Arm defining _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ to
be the base of the .got section as some existing code is relying upon it.
For most Targets the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ symbol is expected to be at
the start of the .got.plt section so that _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[0] =
reserved value that is by convention the address of the dynamic section.
Previously we had defined _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ as either the start or end
of the .got section with the intention that the .got.plt section would
follow the .got. However this does not always hold with the current
default section ordering so _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[0] may not be consistent
with the reserved first entry of the .got.plt.

This fixes pr36475.
I think this code can be simplified a bit, but I would like to check
in the more direct fix if we are in agreement on the direction and
then refactor.
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.

There are a number of different situations when symbols are requested
to be ordered in the --symbol-ordering-file that cannot be ordered for
some reason. To assist with identifying these symbols, and either
tidying up the order file, or the inputs, a number of warnings have
been added. As some users may find these warnings unhelpful, due to how
they use the symbol ordering file, a switch has also been added to
disable these warnings.
The cases where we now warn are:
* Entries in the order file that don't correspond to any symbol in the input
* Undefined symbols
* Absolute symbols
* Symbols imported from shared objects
* Symbols that are discarded, due to e.g. --gc-sections or /DISCARD/ linker script sections
* Multiple of the same entry in the order file

Currently LLVM's paralellForEach has a problem with reentracy.
That caused https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35788 (lld somtimes

This patch is to avoid using paralellForEach to call maybeCompress

llvm-svn: 322041
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.

We normally want to ignore SHT_NOBITS sections when computing
offsets. The sh_offset of section itself seems to be irrelevant and
- If the section is in the middle of a PT_LOAD, it will make no
difference on the computed offset of the followup section.
- If it is in the end of a PT_LOAD, we want to avoid its alignment
changing the offset of the followup sections.
The issue is if it is at the start of the PT_LOAD. In that case we do
have to align it so that the following sections have congruent address
and offset module the page size. We were not handling this case.
This should fix freebsd kernel link.

The ARM.exidx section contains a table of 8-byte entries with the first
word of each entry an offset to the function it describes and the second
word instructions for unwinding if an exception is thrown from that
function. The SHF_LINK_ORDER processing will order the table in ascending
order of the functions described by the exception table entries. As the
address range of an exception table entry is terminated by the next table
entry, it is possible to merge consecutive table entries that have
identical unwind instructions.
For this implementation we define a table entry to be identical if:
- Both entries are the special EXIDX_CANTUNWIND.
- Both entries have the same inline unwind instructions.
We do not attempt to establish if table entries that are references to
.ARM.extab sections are identical.
This implementation works at a granularity of a single .ARM.exidx
InputSection. If all entries in the InputSection are identical to the
previous table entry we can remove the InputSection. A more sophisticated
but more complex implementation would rewrite InputSection contents so that
duplicates within a .ARM.exidx InputSection can be merged.

We were creating these symbols after parsing version scripts, so they

One option is to move both addReservedSymbols and

PR35478 https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35478 points out a flaw
in the implementation of r318924 from D40364. The implementation
depends on the Size field being set or the SyntheticSection::empty()
being accurate. These functions are not reliable as some linker script
commands that have yet to be processed may affect the results, causing
some non-zero size sections to be reported as zero size.
I think the first step is to revert r318924 and come up with a better
solution for the underlying problem rather than trying to layer more
heuristics onto the zero sized output section.
Chances are I'll be out of office by the time anyone sees this so feel
free to commit the revert if you agree with me.
Fixes PR35478
Current thoughts on the underlying problem:
Revisiting the motivation for adding the zero size check in the first
place; it was to prevent 0 sized SyntheticSections that a user does
not have full control over from needlessly breaking the PT_GNU_RELRO,
rather than trying to accommodate arbitrarily complex linker
scripts. Looking at the code, it looks like
removeUnusedSyntheticSections() should remove zero sized synthetic
sections. It does, but it doesn't set the Parent to nullptr, this has
the side effect that Sec == InX::BssRelRo->getParent() will make the
parent OutputSection of InX::BssRelRo RelRo even if there is no
InX::BssRelRo.
I tried a quick experiment with setting the Parent to nullptr and this
flushed out a few interesting test failures, it feels like playing
Jenga with every change:
In the isRelroSection() we have to consider the case where there
is no .plt and .plt.got but there is a ifunc plt with accompanying
(ifunc .got or .plt.got)
The PPC64 has PltHeaderSize == 0. Unfortunately HeaderSize == 0 is
used to choose between the ifunc plt or normal plt. We seem to get
away with this at the moment, but tests start to fail when Parent
is set to nullptr for the .got.plt.
The InX::BssRelRo and InX::Bss never get their sizes set and they
are always removed by removeUnusedSyntheticSections(), their
purpose seems to be as some kind of proxy for add .bss or
.bss.relro InputSections into their parent OutputSections, they
therefore don't behave like other SyntheticSections anyway.
My thinking is that some work is needed to make sure that the Sec ==
SyntheticSection->getParent() does a bit more checking before
returning true, particularly for InX::BssRelRo as that has special
behaviour. I'll hope to post something for review as soon as possible.
