For the Local Dynamic case of TLSDESC, _TLS_MODULE_BASE_ is defined as a
special TLS symbol that makes:
1) Without relaxation: it produces a dynamic TLSDESC relocation that
computes 0. Adding @dtpoff to access a TLS symbol.
2) With LD->LE relaxation: _TLS_MODULE_BASE_@tpoff = 0 (lowest address in
the TLS block). Adding @tpoff to access a TLS symbol.
For 1), this saves dynamic relocations and GOT slots as otherwise
(General Dynamic) we would create an R_X86_64_TLSDESC and reserve two
GOT slots for each symbol.
Add ElfSym::TlsModuleBase and change the signature of getTlsTpOffset()

SymbolTable's add-family functions have lots of parameters because
when they have to create a new symbol, they forward given arguments
to Symbol's constructors. Therefore, the functions take at least as
many arguments as their corresponding constructors.
This patch simplifies the add-family functions. Now, the functions
take a symbol instead of arguments to construct a symbol. If there's
no existing symbol, a given symbol is memcpy'ed to the symbol table.
Otherwise, the functions attempt to merge the existing and a given
new symbol.
I also eliminated `CanOmitFromDynSym` parameter, so that the functions
take really one argument.
Symbol classes are trivially constructible, so looks like constructing
them to pass to add-family functions is as cheap as passing a lot of
arguments to the functions. A quick benchmark showed that this patch
seems performance-neutral.

The patch solves two tasks:
1. MIPS ABI allows to mix regular and microMIPS code and perform
cross-mode jumps. Linker needs to detect such cases and replace
jump/branch instructions by their cross-mode equivalents.
2. Other tools like dunamic linkers need to recognize cases when dynamic
table entries, e_entry field of an ELF header etc point to microMIPS
symbol. Linker should provide such information.
The first task is implemented in the `MIPS<ELFT>::relocateOne()` method.
New routine `fixupCrossModeJump` detects ISA mode change, checks and
replaces an instruction.
The main problem is how to recognize that relocation target is microMIPS
symbol. For absolute and section symbols compiler or assembler set the
less-significant bit of the symbol's value or sum of the symbol's value
and addend. And this bit signals to linker about microMIPS code. For
global symbols compiler cannot do the same trick because other tools like,
for example, disassembler wants to know an actual position of the symbol.
So compiler sets STO_MIPS_MICROMIPS flag in the `st_other` field.
In `MIPS<ELFT>::relocateOne()` method we have a symbol's value only and
cannot access any symbol's attributes. To pass type of the symbol
(regular/microMIPS) to that routine as well as other places where we
write a symbol value as-is (.dynamic section, `Elf_Ehdr::e_entry` field
etc) we set when necessary a less-significant bit in the `getSymVA`
function.

Summary:
This fixes PR39711: -static -z retpolineplt does not produce retpoline PLT header.
-z now is not relevant.
Statically linked executable does not have PLT, but may have IPLT with no header. When -z retpolineplt is specified, however, the repoline PLT header should still be emitted.
I've checked that this fixes the FreeBSD reproduce in PR39711 and a Linux program statically linked against glibc. The programm print "Hi" rather than SIGILL/SIGSEGV.
getPltEntryOffset may look dirty after this patch, but it can be cleaned up later.
Another possible improvement is that when there are non-preemptible IFUNC symbols (rare case, e.g. -Bsymbolic), both In.Plt and In.Iplt can be non-empty and we'll emit the retpoline PLT header twice.

On PowerPC64, when a function call offset is too large to encode in a call
instruction the address is stored in a table in the data segment. A thunk is
used to load the branch target address from the table relative to the
TOC-pointer and indirectly branch to the callee. When linking position-dependent
code the addresses are stored directly in the table, for position-independent
code the table is allocated and filled in at load time by the dynamic linker.
For position-independent code the branch targets could have gone in the .got.plt
but using the .branch_lt section for both position dependent and position
independent binaries keeps it consitent and helps keep this PPC64 specific logic
seperated from the target-independent code handling the .got.plt.

1) --symbol-ordering-file=
2) .llvm.call-graph-profile
If --unresolved-symbols=ignore-all is used,
no "undefined symbol" error/warning is emitted. It makes sense to not warn unorderable symbols.
Otherwise,
If an executable is linked, the default policy UnresolvedPolicy::ErrorOrWarn will issue a "undefined symbol" error. The unorderable symbol warning is redundant.
If a shared object is linked, it is possible that only part of object files are used and some symbols are left undefined. The warning is not very necessary.
In particular for .llvm.call-graph-profile, when linking a shared object, a call graph profile may contain undefined symbols. This case generated a warning before but it will be suppressed by this patch.

Summary:
For --pack-dyn-relocs=android, finalizeSections calls
LinkerScript::assignAddresses and
AndroidPackedRelocationSection::updateAllocSize in a loop,
where assignAddresses lays out the ELF image, then updateAllocSize
determines the size of the Android packed relocation table by encoding it.
Encoding the table requires knowing the values of relocation addends.
To get the addend of a TLS relocation, updateAllocSize can call getSymVA
on a TLS symbol before setPhdrs has initialized Out::TlsPhdr, producing an
error:
<file> has an STT_TLS symbol but doesn't have an SHF_TLS section
Fix the problem by initializing Out::TlsPhdr immediately after the program
headers are created. The segment's p_vaddr field isn't initialized until
setPhdrs, so use FirstSec->Addr, which is what setPhdrs would use.
FirstSec will typically refer to the .tdata or .tbss output section, whose
(tentative) address was computed by assignAddresses.
Android currently avoids this problem because it uses emutls and doesn't
support ELF TLS. This problem doesn't apply to --pack-dyn-relocs=relr
because SHR_RELR only handles relative relocations without explicit addends
or info.

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.

Having a SectionBase method check Repl is inconsistent with how we

So it was not obvious to me at first why getVA passes Addend to
getSymVA. In fact, it passes it as a mutable reference.
It turns out that it only matters for SHF_MERGE sections, and in
particular only for STT_SECTION symbols that are used as a hack for
reducing the number of local symbols (e.g. to avoid a local symbol for
each string in the string table).

That function doesn't use any member of SymbolTableSection, so I
couldn't see a reason to make it a member of that class. The function
takes a SymbolBody, so it is more natural to make it a member of
SymbolBody.

With the current design an InputSection is basically anything that
goes directly in a OutputSection. That includes plain input section
but also synthetic sections, so this should probably not be a
template.

LLD is a multi-threaded program. errs() or outs() are not guaranteed
to be thread-safe (they are actually not).
LLD's message(), log() or error() are thread-safe. We should use them.

This patch removes NeedsCopyOrPltAddr and instead add two variables,
NeedsCopy and NeedsPltAddr. This uses one more bit in Symbol class,
but the actual size doesn't increase because we had unused bits.
This should improve code readability.

In the target dependent code we already always return a int64_t. In
the target independent code we carefully use uintX_t, which has the
same result given 2 complement rules.
This just simplifies the code to use int64_t everywhere.

When we need a copy relocation we create a synthetic SHT_NOBITS
section that contains the right amount of ZI and assign it to either
.bss or .rel.ro.bss as appropriate. This allows the dynamic relocation
to be placed on the InputSection, removing the last case where a
dynamic relocation is stored as an offset from the OutputSection. This
has the side effect that we can run assignOffsets() after scanRelocs()
without losing the additional ZI needed for the copy relocations.

With a synthetic merge section we can have, for example, a single
.rodata section with stings, fixed sized constants and non merge
constants.
I can be simplified further by not setting Entsize, but that is
probably better done is a followup patch.
This should allow some cleanup in the linker script code now that
every output section command maps to just one output section.

Thunks are now implemented by redirecting the relocation to the
symbol S, to a symbol TS in a Thunk. The Thunk will transfer control
to S. This has the following implications:
- 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
Thunks with the following exceptions:
- Mips LA25 Thunks are placed before the InputSection that defines
the symbol that needs a Thunk.
- All ARM Thunks are placed at the end of the OutputSection of the
first caller to the Thunk.
Range extension Thunks are not supported yet so it is optimistically
assumed that all Thunks can be reused.
This is a recommit of r293283 with a fixed comparison predicate as
std::merge requires a strict weak ordering.

Currently ld.lld -r allocates space for common symbols, whereas ld.bfd
-r doesn't. As a result the OpenBSD makefile bits for creating libraries
fail as they use ld -X -r to strip local symbols, which results in
duplicate symbol errors because space for the common symbols has been
allocated.
The diff also implements the --define-commons option such that allocation
of commons can be forced even if -r is used.
Patch by Mark Kettenis.

LLD exports symbols that are also present in used shared libraries to
make sure they are preempted at runtime. That is a reasonable default,
but we must allow for it to be overwritten with linker script. If we
don't, libraries that expect to be able to hide a c++ delete operator
will fail.
This should fix the firebird build.

When reserving copy relocation space for a shared symbol, scan the DSO's
program headers to see if the symbol is in a read-only segment. If so,
reserve space for that symbol in a new synthetic section named .bss.rel.ro
which will be covered by the relro program header.

In a shared library an undefined symbol is implicitly imported. If the
symbol is called as a function a PLT entry is generated for it. When the
caller is a Thumb b.w a thunk to the PLT entry is needed as all PLT
entries are in ARM state.
This change allows undefined symbols to have thunks in the same way that
shared symbols may have thunks.

DefinedSynthetic is not created for a real ELF object, so it doesn't
have to be a template function. It has a virtual st_value, which is
either 32 bit or 64 bit, but we can simply use 64 bit.
