The ELF standard defines that the SHT_GROUP section as follows:
- its sh_link has the symbol index, and
- the symbol name is used to uniquify section groups.
Object files created by GNU gold does not seem to comply with the
standard. They have this additional rule:
- if the symbol has no name and a STT_SECTION symbol, a section
name is used instead of a symbol name.
If we don't do anything for this, the linker fails with a mysterious
error message if input files are generated by gas. It is unfortunate
but I think we need to support it.

Introduce symbol table data structures that can be potentially written to

Summary:
When we perform LTO builds with a version of ar that does not
understand LLVM bitcode objects, we end up with undefined references,
because our archive files do not list the bitcode symbols in their
indices. The error messages do not make it clear what the real problem
is. This change adds a note that points out the likely problem and
solution. It is similar in spirit to r282633, but aims to avoid false
positives by only triggering when we see both undefined references and
archives without symbols in their indices.

Thunks are now implemented by redirecting the relocation to the

- All the side-effects of Thunks happen within createThunks()
- Thunks are no longer stored in InputSections and Symbols no longer
need to hold a pointer to a Thunk
- The synthetic Thunk sections need to be merged into OutputSections
This implementation is almost a direct conversion of the existing

the symbol that needs a Thunk.
- All ARM Thunks are placed at the end of the OutputSection of the

You wouldn't intentionally create an object file that contains no

--trace-symbol is a command line option to watch a symbol.
Previosly, we looked up a hash table for a new symbol if the
option is given. Any code that looks up a hash table for each
symbol is expensive because the linker handles a lot of symbols.
In our design, we look up a hash table strictly only once
for a symbol, so --trace-symbol was an exception.
This patch improves efficiency of the option by merging the
hash table into the symbol table.
Instead of looking up a separate hash table with a string,
this patch sets `Traced` flag to symbols specified by --trace-symbol.
So, if you insert a symbol and get a symbol with `Traced` flag on,
you know that you need to print out a log message for the symbol.
This is nearly zero cost.

Previously, each subclass of SymbolBody had a pointer to a source
file from which it was created. So, there was no single way to get
a source file for a symbol. We had getSourceFile<ELFT>(), but the

This patch makes SymbolBody have a pointer to a source file.
If a symbol is not created from a file, the pointer has a nullptr.

We want --reproduce to
* not rewrite scripts and thin archives
* work with absolute paths
Given that, it pretty much has to create a full directory tree. On windows that
is problematic because of the very short maximum path limit. On most cases
users can still work around it with "--repro c:\r", but that is annoying and
not viable for automated testing.
We then need to produce some form of archive with the files. The first option
that comes to mind is .a files since we already have code for writing them.
There are a few problems with them
The format has a dedicated string table, so we cannot start writing it until
all members are known.
Regular implementations don't support creating directories. We could make
llvm-ar support that, but that is probably not a good idea.
The next natural option would be tar. The problem is that to support long path
names (which is how this started) it needs a "pax extended header" making this
an annoying format to write.
The next option I looked at seems a natural fit: cpio files.
They are available on pretty much every unix, support directories and long path
names and are really easy to write. The only slightly annoying part is a
terminator, but at least gnu cpio only prints a warning if it is missing, which
is handy for crashes. This patch still makes an effort to always create it.

This patch implements a new design for the symbol table that stores
SymbolBodies within a memory region of the Symbol object. Symbols are mutated
by constructing SymbolBodies in place over existing SymbolBodies, rather
than by mutating pointers. As mentioned in the initial proposal [1], this
memory layout helps reduce the cache miss rate by improving memory locality.
Performance numbers:
old(s) new(s)
Without debug info:
chrome 7.178 6.432 (-11.5%)
LLVMgold.so 0.505 0.502 (-0.5%)
clang 0.954 0.827 (-15.4%)
llvm-as 0.052 0.045 (-15.5%)
With debug info:
scylla 5.695 5.613 (-1.5%)
clang 14.396 14.143 (-1.8%)
Performance counter results show that the fewer required indirections is
indeed the cause of the improved performance. For example, when linking
chrome, stalled cycles decreases from 14,556,444,002 to 12,959,238,310, and
instructions per cycle increases from 0.78 to 0.83. We are also executing
many fewer instructions (15,516,401,933 down to 15,002,434,310), probably
because we spend less time allocating SymbolBodies.
The new mechanism by which symbols are added to the symbol table is by calling
add* functions on the SymbolTable.
In this patch, I handle local symbols by storing them inside "unparented"
SymbolBodies. This is suboptimal, but if we do want to try to avoid allocating
these SymbolBodies, we can probably do that separately.
I also removed a few members from the SymbolBody class that were only being
used to pass information from the input file to the symbol table.
This patch implements the new design for the ELF linker only. I intend to
prepare a similar patch for the COFF linker.

Using multiple context used to be a really big memory saving because we
could free memory from each file while the linker proceeded with the
symbol resolution. We are getting lazier about reading data from the
bitcode, so I was curious if this was still a good tradeoff.
One thing that is a bit annoying is that we still have to copy the
symbol names. The problem is that the names are stored in the Module and
get freed when we move the module bits during linking.
Long term I think the solution is to add a symbol table to the bitcode.
That way IRObject file will not need to use a Module or a Context and we
can drop it while still keeping a StringRef to the names.
This patch is still be an interesting medium term improvement.

Since there is a copy in every translation unit that uses them, they can
be omitted from the symbol table if the address is not significant.
This still doesn't catch as many cases as the gold plugin. The
difference is that we check canBeOmittedFromSymbolTable in each file and
use lazy loading which limits what it can do. Gold checks it in the merged file.
I think the correct way of getting the same results as gold is just to
cache in the IR the result of canBeOmittedFromSymbolTable.

Previously, Lazy symbols were created for undefined symbols even though

fixes that bug.
llvm-svn: 265847
start-lib and end-lib are options to link object files in the same
semantics as archive files. If an object is in start-lib and end-lib,
the object is linked only when the file is needed to resolve
undefined symbols. That means, if an object is in start-lib and end-lib,
it behaves as if it were in an archive file.
In this patch, I introduced a new notion, LazyObjectFile. That is
analogous to Archive file type, but that works for a single object
file instead of for an archive file.

Our symbol representation was redundant, and some times would get out of
sync. It had an Elf_Sym, but some fields were copied to SymbolBody.
Different parts of the code were checking the bits in SymbolBody and
others were checking Elf_Sym.
There are two general approaches to fix this:
* Copy the required information and don't store and Elf_Sym.
* Don't copy the information and always use the Elf_Smy.
The second way sounds tempting, but has a big problem: we would have to
template SymbolBody. I started doing it, but it requires templeting
*everything* and creates a bit chicken and egg problem at the driver
where we have to find ELFT before we can create an ArchiveFile for
example.
As much as possible I compared the test differences with what gold and
bfd produce to make sure they are still valid. In most cases we are just
adding hidden visibility to a local symbol, which is harmless.
In most tests this is a small speedup. The only slowdown was scylla
(1.006X). The largest speedup was clang with no --build-id, -O3 or
--gc-sections (i.e.: focus on the relocations): 1.019X.

This patch implements the same algorithm as LLD/COFF's ICF. I'm
not going to repeat the same description about how it works, so you
want to read the comment in ICF.cpp in this patch if you want to know
the details. This algorithm should be more powerful than the ICF
algorithm implemented in GNU gold. It can even merge mutually-recursive
functions (which is harder than one might think).
ICF is a fairly effective size optimization. Here are some examples.
LLD: 37.14 MB -> 35.80 MB (-3.6%)
Clang: 59.41 MB -> 57.80 MB (-2.7%)
The lacking feature is "safe" version of ICF. This merges all
identical sections. That is not compatible with a C/C++ language
requirement that two distinct functions must have distinct addresses.
But as long as your program do not rely on the pointer equality
(which is in many cases true), your program should work with the
feature. LLD works fine for example.
GNU gold implements so-called "safe ICF" that identifies functions
that are safe to merge by heuristics -- for example, gold thinks
that constructors are safe to merge because there is no way to
take an address of a constructor in C++. We have a different idea
which David Majnemer suggested that we add NOPs at beginning of
merged functions so that two or more pointers can have distinct
values. We can do whichever we want, but this patch does not
include neither.

"Discarded" section is a marker for discarded sections, and we do not

}
In LLD, during symbol resolution, we discard the section containing the
weak symbol, but this amounts to replacing it with
InputSection<ELFT>::Discarded.
When we later saw the corresponding relocation section, we would then
end up pusing onto InputSection<ELFT>::Discarded.RelocSections, which is

In many situations, we don't want to exit at the first error even in the
process model. For example, it is better to report all undefined symbols
rather than reporting the first one that the linker picked up randomly.
In order to handle such errors, we don't need to wrap everything with
ErrorOr (thanks for David Blaikie for pointing this out!) Instead, we
can set a flag to record the fact that we found an error and keep it
going until it reaches a reasonable checkpoint.
This idea should be applicable to other places. For example, we can
ignore broken relocations and check for errors after visiting all relocs.
In this patch, I rename error to fatal, and introduce another version of
error which doesn't call exit. That function instead sets HasError to true.
Once HasError becomes true, it stays true, so that we know that there
was an error if it is true.
I think introducing a non-noreturn error reporting function is by itself
a good idea, and it looks to me that this also provides a gradual path
towards lld-as-a-library (or at least embed-lld-to-your-program) without
sacrificing code readability with lots of ErrorOr's.

Previously, we handle archive files with --whole-archive this way:
create instances of ArchiveFile, call getMembers to obtain memory

We didn't call anything except getMembers if --whole-archive was

I noticed that we didn't actually have to create ArchiveFile instaces
at all for that case. All we need is to get a list of memory buffers

The R_MIPS_GPREL16 / R_MIPS_GPREL32 relocations use the following

```
local symbol: S + A + GP0 - GP
global symbol: S + A - GP
GP - Represents the final gp value, i.e. _gp symbol
GP0 - Represents the gp value used to create the relocatable object
```
The GP0 value is taken from the .reginfo data section defined by an object
file. To implement that I keep a reference to `MipsReginfoInputSection`
in the `ObjectFile` class. This reference is used by the
`ObjectFile::getMipsGp0` method to return the GP0 value.

There are 3 symbol types that a .bc can provide during lto: defined,

Defined and undefined symbols have already been refactored. I was
working on common and noticed that absolute symbols would become an
oddity: They would be the only symbol type present in a .o but not in
a.bc.
Looking a bit more, other than the special section number they were only
used for special rules for computing values. In that way they are
similar to TLS, and we don't have a DefinedTLS.

for having a symbol kind: It exists if it has special resolution

Starting from GC-root symbols or sections, a new function, markLive(),
visits all reachable sections and sets their Live bits. Writer then
ignores sections whose Live bit is off, so that such sections are
excluded from the output.
This change has small negative impact on performance if you use
the feature because making sections means more work. The time to
link Clang changes from 0.356s to 0.386s, or +8%.
It reduces Clang size from 57,764,984 bytes to 55,296,600 bytes.
That is 4.3% reduction.

BSD's DSO files have undefined symbol "__progname" which is defined
in crt1.o. On that system, both user programs and system shared
libraries depend on each other.
In general, we need to put symbols defined by user programs which are
referenced by shared libraries to user program's .dynsym.

This patch adds AsNeeded and IsUsed bool fields to SharedFile. AsNeeded bit
is set if the DSO is enclosed with --as-needed and --no-as-needed. IsUsed
bit is off by default. When we adds a symbol to the symbol table for dynamic
linking, we set its SharedFile's IsUsed bit.
If AsNeeded is set but IsUsed is not set, we don't want to write that
file's SO name to DT_NEEDED field.

Summary:
If --whole-archive is used, all symbols from the following archives are added to the output. --no-whole-archive restores default behavior. These switches can be used multiple times.
NB. We have to keep an ArchiveFile instance within SymbolTable even if --whole-archive mode is active since it can be a thin archive which contains just names of external files. In that case actual memory buffers for the archive members will be stored within the File member of ArchiveFile class.

If a shared library has a DT_SONAME entry, that is what should be included
in the DT_NEEDED of a program using it.
We don't implement -soname yet, so check in a .so for now.

Opening a file and dispatching to readLinkerScript() or createFile()
is a common operation. We want to use that at least from Driver and
from LinkerScript. In COFF, we had the same problem. This patch
resolves the problem in the same way as we did for COFF.
Now, if you have a path that you want to open, just call
Driver->addFile(StringRef). That function opens the file and handles
that as if that were given by command line. This function is the
only place we call identify_magic().

This linker script parser and evaluator is powerful enough to read
Linux's libc.so, which is (despite its name) a linker script that
contains OUTPUT_FORMAT, GROUP and AS_NEEDED directives.
The parser implemented in this patch is a recursive-descendent one.
It does *not* construct an AST but consumes directives in place and
sets the results to Symtab object, like what Driver is doing.
This should be very fast since less objects are allocated, and
this is also more readable.

This is more consistent with OutputSection. This is also part of removing
the "Chunk" term from the ELF linker, since we just have input/output sections
and program headers.

Symbol table is now populated correctly, but some fields are missing,
they'll be added in the future. This patch also adds --discard-all
flag, which was the default behavior until now.

There were at least two issues with having them together:
* For compatibility checks, we only want to look at the ELF kind.
* Adding support for shared libraries should introduce one InputFile kind,
not 4.
