The access sequence for global variables in the medium and large code models use
2 instructions to add an offset to the toc-pointer. If the offset fits whithin
16-bits then the instruction that sets the high 16 bits is redundant.
This patch adds the --toc-optimize option, (on by default) and enables rewriting
of 2 instruction global variable accesses into 1 when the offset from the
TOC-pointer to the variable (or .got entry) fits in 16 signed bits. eg
addis %r3, %r2, 0 --> nop
addi %r3, %r3, -0x8000 --> addi %r3, %r2, -0x8000
This rewriting can be disabled with the --no-toc-optimize flag

We have an issue with -wrap that the option doesn't work well when
renamed symbols get PLT entries. I'll explain what is the issue and
how this patch solves it.
For one -wrap option, we have three symbols: foo, wrap_foo and real_foo.
Currently, we use memcpy to overwrite wrapped symbols so that they get
the same contents. This works in most cases but doesn't when the relocation
processor sets some flags in the symbol. memcpy'ed symbols are just
aliases, so they always have to have the same contents, but the
relocation processor breaks that assumption.
r336609 is an attempt to fix the issue by memcpy'ing again after
processing relocations, so that symbols that are out of sync get the
same contents again. That works in most cases as well, but it breaks
ASan build in a mysterious way.
We could probably fix the issue by choosing symbol attributes that need
to be copied after they are updated. But it feels too complicated to me.
So, in this patch, I fixed it once and for all. With this patch, we no
longer memcpy symbols. All references to renamed symbols point to new
symbols after wrapSymbols() is done.

Assuming at least Armv5 this patch adds support for Thunks that load or add

Patch by PkmX.
This patch makes lld recognize RISC-V target and implements basic
relocation for RV32/RV64 (and RVC). This should be necessary for static
linking ELF applications.
The ABI documentation for RISC-V can be found at:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/master/riscv-elf.md.
Note that the documentation is far from complete so we had to figure out
some details from bfd.
The patch should be pretty straightforward. Some highlights:
- A new relocation Expr R_RISCV_PC_INDIRECT is added. This is needed as
the low part of a PC-relative relocation is linked to the corresponding
high part (auipc), see:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/master/riscv-elf.md#pc-relative-symbol-addresses
- LLVM's MC support for RISC-V is very incomplete (we are working on
this), so tests are given in objectyaml format with the original
assembly included in the comments. Once we have complete support for
RISC-V in MC, we can switch to llvm-as/llvm-objdump.
- We don't support linker relaxation for now as it requires greater
changes to lld that is beyond the scope of this patch. Once this is
accepted we can start to work on adding relaxation to lld.

Adding all libcall symbols to the link can have undesired consequences.
For example, the libgcc implementation of __sync_val_compare_and_swap_8
on 32-bit ARM pulls in an .init_array entry that aborts the program if
the Linux kernel does not support 64-bit atomics, which would prevent
the program from running even if it does not use 64-bit atomics.
This change makes it so that we only add libcall symbols to the
link before LTO if we have to, i.e. if the symbol's definition is in
bitcode. Any other required libcall symbols will be added to the link
after LTO when we add the LTO object file to the link.

GNU ld's manual says that TARGET(foo) is basically an alias for
`--format foo` where foo is a BFD target name such as elf64-x86-64.
Unlike GNU linkers, lld doesn't allow arbitrary BFD target name for
--format. We accept only "default", "elf" or "binary". This makes
situation a bit tricky because we can't simply make TARGET an alias for
--target.
A quick code search revealed that the usage number of TARGET is very
small, and the only meaningful usage is to switch to the binary mode.
Thus, in this patch, we handle only TARGET(elf.*) and TARGET(binary).

Almost all entries inside MIPS GOT are referenced by signed 16-bit
index. Zero entry lies approximately in the middle of the GOT. So the
total number of GOT entries cannot exceed ~16384 for 32-bit architecture
and ~8192 for 64-bit architecture. This limitation makes impossible to
link rather large application like for example LLVM+Clang. There are two
workaround for this problem. The first one is using the -mxgot
compiler's flag. It enables using a 32-bit index to access GOT entries.
But each access requires two assembly instructions two load GOT entry
index to a register. Another workaround is multi-GOT. This patch
implements it.
Here is a brief description of multi-GOT for detailed one see the
following link https://dmz-portal.mips.com/wiki/MIPS_Multi_GOT.
If the sum of local, global and tls entries is less than 64K only single
got is enough. Otherwise, multi-got is created. Series of primary and
multiple secondary GOTs have the following layout:
```
- Primary GOT
Header
Local entries
Global entries
Relocation only entries
TLS entries
- Secondary GOT
Local entries
Global entries
TLS entries
...
```
All GOT entries required by relocations from a single input file
entirely belong to either primary or one of secondary GOTs. To reference
GOT entries each GOT has its own _gp value points to the "middle" of the
GOT. In the code this value loaded to the register which is used for GOT
access.
MIPS 32 function's prologue:
```
lui v0,0x0
0: R_MIPS_HI16 _gp_disp
addiu v0,v0,0
4: R_MIPS_LO16 _gp_disp
```
MIPS 64 function's prologue:
```
lui at,0x0
14: R_MIPS_GPREL16 main
```
Dynamic linker does not know anything about secondary GOTs and cannot
use a regular MIPS mechanism for GOT entries initialization. So we have
to use an approach accepted by other architectures and create dynamic
relocations R_MIPS_REL32 to initialize global entries (and local in case
of PIC code) in secondary GOTs. But ironically MIPS dynamic linker
requires GOT entries and correspondingly ordered dynamic symbol table
entries to deal with dynamic relocations. To handle this problem
relocation-only section in the primary GOT contains entries for all
symbols referenced in global parts of secondary GOTs. Although the sum
of local and normal global entries of the primary got should be less
than 64K, the size of the primary got (including relocation-only entries
can be greater than 64K, because parts of the primary got that overflow
the 64K limit are used only by the dynamic linker at dynamic link-time
and not by 16-bit gp-relative addressing at run-time.
The patch affects common LLD code in the following places:
- Added new hidden -mips-got-size flag. This flag required to set low
maximum size of a single GOT to be able to test the implementation using
small test cases.
- Added InputFile argument to the getRelocTargetVA function. The same
symbol referenced by GOT relocation from different input file might be
allocated in different GOT. So result of relocation depends on the file.
- Added new ctor to the DynamicReloc class. This constructor records
settings of dynamic relocation which used to adjust address of 64kb page
lies inside a specific output section.
With the patch LLD is able to link all LLVM+Clang+LLD applications and
libraries for MIPS 32/64 targets.

--push-state implemented in this patch saves the states of --as-needed,
--whole-archive and --static. It saves less number of flags than GNU linkers.
Since even GNU linkers save different flags, no one seems to care about the

complicate the implementation and the siutation.
I'm not personally happy about adding the --{push,pop}-state flags though.
That options seem too hacky to me. However, gcc started using the options
since GCC 8 when GNU ld is available at the build time. Therefore, lld

I'm proposing a new command line flag, --warn-backrefs in this patch.
The flag and the feature proposed below don't exist in GNU linkers
nor the current lld.
--warn-backrefs is an option to detect reverse or cyclic dependencies
between static archives, and it can be used to keep your program
compatible with GNU linkers after you switch to lld. I'll explain the
feature and why you may find it useful below.
lld's symbol resolution semantics is more relaxed than traditional
Unix linkers. Therefore,
ld.lld foo.a bar.o
succeeds even if bar.o contains an undefined symbol that have to be
resolved by some object file in foo.a. Traditional Unix linkers
don't allow this kind of backward reference, as they visit each
file only once from left to right in the command line while
resolving all undefined symbol at the moment of visiting.
In the above case, since there's no undefined symbol when a linker
visits foo.a, no files are pulled out from foo.a, and because the
linker forgets about foo.a after visiting, it can't resolve
undefined symbols that could have been resolved otherwise.
That lld accepts more relaxed form means (besides it makes more
sense) that you can accidentally write a command line or a build
file that works only with lld, even if you have a plan to
distribute it to wider users who may be using GNU linkers. With
--check-library-dependency, you can detect a library order that
doesn't work with other Unix linkers.
The option is also useful to detect cyclic dependencies between
static archives. Again, lld accepts
ld.lld foo.a bar.a
even if foo.a and bar.a depend on each other. With --warn-backrefs
it is handled as an error.
Here is how the option works. We assign a group ID to each file. A
file with a smaller group ID can pull out object files from an
archive file with an equal or greater group ID. Otherwise, it is a
reverse dependency and an error.
A file outside --{start,end}-group gets a fresh ID when
instantiated. All files within the same --{start,end}-group get the
same group ID. E.g.
ld.lld A B --start-group C D --end-group E
A and B form group 0, C, D and their member object files form group
1, and E forms group 2. I think that you can see how this group
assignment rule simulates the traditional linker's semantics.

This patch provides migitation for CVE-2017-5715, Spectre variant two,

-z hazardplt. Like the Clang part of this patch, I have opted for that
specific option name in case alternative migitation methods are required
in the future.
The mitigation strategy suggested by MIPS for these processors is to use
hazard barrier instructions. 'jalr.hb' and 'jr.hb' are hazard
barrier variants of the 'jalr' and 'jr' instructions respectively.
These instructions impede the execution of instruction stream until
architecturally defined hazards (changes to the instruction stream,
privileged registers which may affect execution) are cleared. These
instructions in MIPS' designs are not speculated past.
These instructions are defined by the MIPS32R2 ISA, so this mitigation
method is not compatible with processors which implement an earlier
revision of the MIPS ISA.
For LLD, this changes PLT stubs to use 'jalr.hb' and 'jr.hb'.

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

When resolving dynamic RELA relocations the addend is taken from the

write the addend field to the place like it would for a REL relocation.
Unfortunately there is some system software, in particlar dynamic loaders
such as Bionic's linker64 that use the value of the place prior to

Summary:
First, we need to explain the core of the vulnerability. Note that this
is a very incomplete description, please see the Project Zero blog post
for details:
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2018/01/reading-privileged-memory-with-side.html
The basis for branch target injection is to direct speculative execution
of the processor to some "gadget" of executable code by poisoning the
prediction of indirect branches with the address of that gadget. The
gadget in turn contains an operation that provides a side channel for
reading data. Most commonly, this will look like a load of secret data
followed by a branch on the loaded value and then a load of some
predictable cache line. The attacker then uses timing of the processors
cache to determine which direction the branch took *in the speculative
execution*, and in turn what one bit of the loaded value was. Due to the
nature of these timing side channels and the branch predictor on Intel
processors, this allows an attacker to leak data only accessible to
a privileged domain (like the kernel) back into an unprivileged domain.
The goal is simple: avoid generating code which contains an indirect
branch that could have its prediction poisoned by an attacker. In many
cases, the compiler can simply use directed conditional branches and
a small search tree. LLVM already has support for lowering switches in
this way and the first step of this patch is to disable jump-table
lowering of switches and introduce a pass to rewrite explicit indirectbr
sequences into a switch over integers.
However, there is no fully general alternative to indirect calls. We
introduce a new construct we call a "retpoline" to implement indirect
calls in a non-speculatable way. It can be thought of loosely as
a trampoline for indirect calls which uses the RET instruction on x86.
Further, we arrange for a specific call->ret sequence which ensures the
processor predicts the return to go to a controlled, known location. The
retpoline then "smashes" the return address pushed onto the stack by the
call with the desired target of the original indirect call. The result
is a predicted return to the next instruction after a call (which can be
used to trap speculative execution within an infinite loop) and an
actual indirect branch to an arbitrary address.
On 64-bit x86 ABIs, this is especially easily done in the compiler by
using a guaranteed scratch register to pass the target into this device.
For 32-bit ABIs there isn't a guaranteed scratch register and so several
different retpoline variants are introduced to use a scratch register if
one is available in the calling convention and to otherwise use direct
stack push/pop sequences to pass the target address.
This "retpoline" mitigation is fully described in the following blog
post: https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/7625886
We also support a target feature that disables emission of the retpoline
thunk by the compiler to allow for custom thunks if users want them.
These are particularly useful in environments like kernels that
routinely do hot-patching on boot and want to hot-patch their thunk to
different code sequences. They can write this custom thunk and use
`-mretpoline-external-thunk` *in addition* to `-mretpoline`. In this
case, on x86-64 thu thunk names must be:
```
__llvm_external_retpoline_r11
```
or on 32-bit:
```
__llvm_external_retpoline_eax
__llvm_external_retpoline_ecx
__llvm_external_retpoline_edx
__llvm_external_retpoline_push
```
And the target of the retpoline is passed in the named register, or in
the case of the `push` suffix on the top of the stack via a `pushl`
instruction.
There is one other important source of indirect branches in x86 ELF
binaries: the PLT. These patches also include support for LLD to
generate PLT entries that perform a retpoline-style indirection.
The only other indirect branches remaining that we are aware of are from
precompiled runtimes (such as crt0.o and similar). The ones we have
found are not really attackable, and so we have not focused on them
here, but eventually these runtimes should also be replicated for
retpoline-ed configurations for completeness.
For kernels or other freestanding or fully static executables, the
compiler switch `-mretpoline` is sufficient to fully mitigate this
particular attack. For dynamic executables, you must compile *all*
libraries with `-mretpoline` and additionally link the dynamic
executable and all shared libraries with LLD and pass `-z retpolineplt`
(or use similar functionality from some other linker). We strongly
recommend also using `-z now` as non-lazy binding allows the
retpoline-mitigated PLT to be substantially smaller.
When manually apply similar transformations to `-mretpoline` to the
Linux kernel we observed very small performance hits to applications
running typical workloads, and relatively minor hits (approximately 2%)
even for extremely syscall-heavy applications. This is largely due to
the small number of indirect branches that occur in performance
sensitive paths of the kernel.
When using these patches on statically linked applications, especially
C++ applications, you should expect to see a much more dramatic
performance hit. For microbenchmarks that are switch, indirect-, or
virtual-call heavy we have seen overheads ranging from 10% to 50%.
However, real-world workloads exhibit substantially lower performance
impact. Notably, techniques such as PGO and ThinLTO dramatically reduce
the impact of hot indirect calls (by speculatively promoting them to
direct calls) and allow optimized search trees to be used to lower
switches. If you need to deploy these techniques in C++ applications, we
*strongly* recommend that you ensure all hot call targets are statically
linked (avoiding PLT indirection) and use both PGO and ThinLTO. Well
tuned servers using all of these techniques saw 5% - 10% overhead from
the use of retpoline.
We will add detailed documentation covering these components in
subsequent patches, but wanted to make the core functionality available
as soon as possible. Happy for more code review, but we'd really like to
get these patches landed and backported ASAP for obvious reasons. We're
planning to backport this to both 6.0 and 5.0 release streams and get
a 5.0 release with just this cherry picked ASAP for distros and vendors.
This patch is the work of a number of people over the past month: Eric, Reid,
Rui, and myself. I'm mailing it out as a single commit due to the time
sensitive nature of landing this and the need to backport it. Huge thanks to
everyone who helped out here, and everyone at Intel who helped out in
discussions about how to craft this. Also, credit goes to Paul Turner (at
Google, but not an LLVM contributor) for much of the underlying retpoline
design.

If using a version script with a `local: *` in it, symbols in shared
libraries will still get default visibility if another shared library on
the link line has an undefined reference to the symbol. This is quite
surprising. Neither bfd nor gold have this behavior when linking a
shared library, and none of LLD's tests fail without this behavior, so
it seems safe to limit scanShlibUndefined to executables.
As far as executables are concerned, gold doesn't do any automatic
default visibility marking, and bfd issues a link error about a shared
library having a reference to a hidden symbol rather than silently
giving that symbol default visibility. I think bfd's behavior here is
preferable to LLD's, but that's something to be considered in a
follow-up.

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

We cannot move the version script parsing later because we need it for

One option is to move both addReservedSymbols and
createSyntheticSections earlier. The disadvantage is that some
sections created by createSyntheticSections replace other input
sections. For example, gdb index replaces .debug_gnu_pubnames, so it
wants to run after gc sections so that it can set S->Live to false.
What this patch does instead is to move just the ElfHeader creation
early.

Summary:
**Problem**
`--exclude-libs` does not work for static libraries affected by the `--whole-archive` option.
**Description**
`--exclude-libs` creates a list of static library paths and does library lookups in this list.
`--whole-archive` splits the static libraries that follow it into separate objects. As a result, lld no longer sees static libraries among linked files and does no `--exclude-libs` lookups.
**Solution**
The proposed solution is to make `--exclude-libs` consider object files too. When lld finds an object file it checks whether this file originates from an archive and, if so, looks the archive up in the `--exclude-libs` list.

ScriptConfiguration was a class to contain parsed results of
linker scripts. LinkerScript is a class to interpret it.
That ditinction was needed because we haven't instantiated
LinkerScript early (because, IIRC, LinkerScript class was a
ELFT template function). So, when we parse linker scripts,
we couldn't directly store the result to a LinkerScript instance.
Now, that limitation is gone. We instantiate LinkerScript

When parsing linker scripts, LLD previously started with a '.' value of 0,
regardless of the internal default image base for the target, and regardless of
switches such as --image-base. It seems reasonable to use a different image base
value when using linker scripts and --image-base is specified, since otherwise the
switch has no effect. This change does this, as well as removing unnecessary
initialisation of Dot where it is not used.
The default image base should not be used when processing linker
scripts, because this will change the behaviour for existing linker script users,
and potentially result in invalid output being produced, as a subsequent assignment
to Dot could move the location counter backwards. Instead, we maintain the existing
behaviour of starting from 0 if --image-base is not specified.

I think it is not defined what would happen to detached threads

that unlinkAsync correctly removes a temporary file. It was also
reported that this unlinkAsync caused a crash on Windows.
This patch adds a few new functions so that the main thread always
waits for non-main threads before exitting.
I don't actually like the new two functions, runBackground and
waitForBackgroundThreads, because it looks like it is a bit
overdesigned. After all, what we are doing with these functions
is to just remove a file.
An alternative would be to do fork(2) and make the child process
remove a file asynchronously. However, it has its own problems.
Correctly forking and reclaiming a resource using waitpid(2) is not
doable unless we know our process-wide settings (such as signal mask),
but we can't make any assumption on it when lld is embedded to other

So if the first file does not contain microMIPS code, LLD will generate
PLT entries with regular (non-microMIPS) code only.
Ideally, if a PLT entry is referenced by microMIPS code only this entry
should contain microMIPS code, if a PLT entry is referenced by regular
code this entry should contain regular code. In a "mixed" case the PLT
entry can be either microMIPS or regular, but each "cross-mode-call" has
additional cost.
It's rather difficult to implement this ideal solution. But we can
assume that if there is an input object file with microMIPS code, the
most part of the code is microMIPS too. So we need to deduce type of PLT
entries based on finally calculated ELF header flags and do not check
only the first input object file.
This change implements this.
- The `getMipsEFlags` renamed to the `calcMipsEFlags`. The function
called from the `LinkerDriver::link`. Result is stored in
the Configuration::MipsEFlags field.
- The `isMicroMips` and `isMipsR6` routines access the `MipsEFlags`
field to get and check calculated ELF flags.
- New types of PLT records created when necessary.

This fixes pr34301.
As the bug points out, we want to keep some relocations with undefined
weak symbols. This means that we cannot always claim that these
symbols are not preemptible as we do now.
Unfortunately, we cannot also just always claim that they are
preemptible. Doing so would, for example, cause us to try to create a
plt entry when we don't even have a dynamic symbol table.
What almost works is to say that weak undefined symbols are
preemptible if and only if we have a dynamic symbol table. Almost
because we don't want to fail the build trying to create a copy
relocation to a weak undefined.

-F name
--filter=name
When creating an ELF shared object, set the internal DT_FILTER field to the specified name. This tells the dynamic linker that the symbol table of the shared object which is being created should be used as a filter on the symbol table of the shared object name.
If you later link a program against this filter object, then, when you run the program, the dynamic linker will see the DT_FILTER field. The dynamic linker will resolve symbols according to the symbol table of the filter object as usual, but it will actually link to the definitions found in the shared object name. Thus the filter object can be used to select a subset of the symbols provided by the object name.

Uncompressing section contents and spliting mergeable section contents
into smaller chunks are heavy tasks. They scan entire section contents
and do CPU-intensive tasks such as uncompressing zlib-compressed data
or computing a hash value for each section piece.
Luckily, these tasks are independent to each other, so we can do that
in parallel_for_each. The number of input sections is large (as opposed
to the number of output sections), so there's a large parallelism here.
Actually the current design to call uncompress() and splitIntoPieces()
in batch was chosen with doing this in mind. Basically what we need to
do here is to replace `for` with `parallel_for_each`.
It seems this patch improves latency significantly if linked programs
contain debug info (which in turn contain lots of mergeable strings.)

extremely large number of errors (like millions) because it would
print out one error per relocation.
This patch makes LLD bail out if it prints out more than 20 errors.
You can configure the limitation using -error-limit argument.
-error-limit=0 means no limit.
I chose the flag name because Clang has the same feature as -ferror-limit.
"f" doesn't make sense to us, so I omitted it.

For now MipsGotSection class is not ready for concurrent access from
multiple threads. The problem is in the getPageEntryOffset method. It
changes state of MipsGotSection object and might be called from
different threads at the same time. So turn Threads off for this target.
It's a temporary solution. The patch fixes MipsGotSection::getPageEntryOffset
is almost ready.

GNU linkers disagree here.
Though both -version and -v are mentioned
in help to print the version information, GNU ld just normally exits,
while gold can continue linking. We are compatible with ld.bfd here.
This fixes PR31057.

LLD supports multi-threading, and it seems to be working well as
you can see in r287140. In short, LLD runs a few percent to 30%
faster with -threads and more than 50% faster if you are using
-build-id (your mileage may vary depending on your computer).
However, I don't think most users even don't know about that because
-threads is not a default option.
This patch enables it by default.

Our build-id is a tree hash anyway, so I'll define this as a synonym
for sha1. GNU gold takes this parameter, so this is for compatibility
with that.

The functions getBitcodeTargetTriple(), isBitcodeContainingObjCCategory(),
getBitcodeProducerString() and hasGlobalValueSummary() now return errors
via their return value rather than via the diagnostic handler.
To make this work, re-implement these functions using non-member functions
so that they can be used without the LLVMContext required by BitcodeReader.

Patch allows to pass a symbols file to linker.
LLD will map symbols to sections and sort sections
in output according to symbol ordering file.
That can help to reduce the startup time and/or
amount of pagefaults during startup.
Also, interesting benchmark result was produced by Rafael Espíndola.
After applying the symbols file for clang he timed compiling
X86MCTargetDesc.ii to an object file.
The page faults went from just
56,988 to 56,946 since most faults are not in the binary.
Running time went from 4.403053515 to 4.178112244.
The speedup seems to be because of better cache
locality.

In short the patch introduces support for linking object file conform
MIPS N32 ABI [1]. This ABI is similar to N64 ABI but uses 32-bit
pointer size.
The most non-trivial requirement of this ABI is one more relocation
packing format. N64 ABI puts multiple relocation type into the single
relocation record. The N32 ABI uses series of successive relocations
with the same offset for this purpose. In this patch, new function
`mergeMipsN32RelTypes` handle this case and "convert" N32 relocation to
the N64 relocation so the rest of the code keep unchanged.
For now, linker does not support series of relocations applied to sections
without SHF_ALLOC bit. Probably later I will add the support or insert
some sort of assert into the `relocateNonAlloc` routine to catch this
case.

Previously, we do this piece of code to iterate over all input sections.
for (elf::ObjectFile<ELFT> *F : Symtab.getObjectFiles())
for (InputSectionBase<ELFT> *S : F->getSections())
It turned out that this mechanisms doesn't work well with synthetic
input sections because synthetic input sections don't belong to any
input file.
This patch defines a vector that contains all input sections including
synthetic ones.

Previously, we have a lot of BumpPtrAllocators, but all these
allocators virtually have the same lifetime because they are
not freed until the linker finishes its job. This patch aggregates
them into a single allocator.

As the state of lld gets more complicated, shutting down gets more
expensive.
In a normal lld run we can just call _exit immediately after renaming
the temporary output file. We still want the ability to run a full
shutdown since that is useful for detecting memory leaks.
This patch adds a --full-shutdown flag and changes lit to use it.
llvm-svn: 285224
We used to have one allocator per file, which reduces the advantage of
using an allocator in the first place.
This is a small speed up is most cases. The largest speedup was in

In this patch partial gdb_index section is created.

-format=<foo>, -format <foo> and -b <foo> are all the same.
Previous code was intended to produce an error message with the
same spelling as given from the command line, but it actually
always printed out this string: "unknown -format= value:".
This is probably more confusing than "unknown -format value:".
So I changed the message.

The R_ARM_TARGET2 relocation is used in ARM exception tables to encode
a data dependency that will only be dereferenced by code in the
run-time support library. In a similar way to R_ARM_TARGET1 the
handling of the relocation is target specific, it maps to one of
R_ARM_ABS32, R_ARM_REL32 or R_ARM_GOT_PREL. The choice depends on the
run-time library. R_ARM_GOT_PREL is used for linux and BSD,
R_ARM_ABS32 and R_ARM_REL32 are used for bare-metal.
The command line option --target2=<target> can be used to select the
relocation used for R_ARM_TARGET2. The default is R_ARM_GOT_PREL.

The array element specifies that a process executing this file may need to be able to map or protect memory regions as simultaneously executable and writable. If the system is unable or unwilling to permit that for this executable then it may fail immediately. This segment type is meaningful only for executable files and is ignored in other objects.

PR30521 was about linking shared library. After r282295 code when linking -shared produced
"entry symbol not found" warning, what in combination with --fatal-errors failed linkage.
Patch fixes logic (and adds testcases) to follow next rules:
1) If entry was specified and not found report warning.
2) If entry was not specified then:
a) Emit warning if not -shared.
b) Do not emit warning if -shared.

This is particularly important when the symbol comes from a linker
script. It is common to use the same linker script for shared
libraries and executables. Without this we would always fail to link
shared libraries with -z,defs and a linker script with an ENTRY

--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.

lld differs from GNU ld in that it does not have a built-in default
target emulation. Emulation is always specified via the -m option, or
obtained from the object file(s) being linked. In most cases at least
one ELF object is included in the link, so the emulation is known.
When using lld's (not yet committed) -b binary support with -r, to
convert a binary file into an ELF object we do not have a known
emulation. The error message previously emitted in this case
"-m or at least a .o file required" is accurate but does not offer
much insight. Add text to the error message to give a hint why -m or an
object file is required.
