We have been creating many ConcatInputSections with identical values due

into a Shared struct, to reduce memory consumption and make copying

I also changed `callSiteCount` from a uint32_t to a 31-bit field to save an

`__cfstring` is a special literal section, so instead of breaking it up
at symbol boundaries, we break it up at fixed-width boundaries (since
each literal is the same size). Symbols can only occur at one of those
boundaries, so this is strictly more powerful than
`.subsections_via_symbols`.
With that in place, we then run the section through ICF.

SymtabSection::emitStabs() writes the symbol table in the order
of externalSymbols, which has the order of symtab->getSymbols(),
which is just the order symbols are added to the symbol table.
In practice, symbols in the symbol files of input .o files are
sorted, but since that's not guaranteed we sort them in
ObjFile::parseSymbols(). To make sure several symbols with the same
address keep the order they're in the input file, we have to use
stable_sort().
In practice, std::sort() on already-sorted inputs won't change the order
of just adjacent elements, and while in theory std::sort() could use a
random pivot, in practice the code should be deterministic as it was

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.

explicit `-rpath` in Foo1. I don't understand why or how. But this
change is a step forward and fixes an immediate problem I'm having,
so let's start with this :)
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D103990
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.
**Performance Numbers**
CString deduplication reduces chromium_framework from 250MB to 242MB, or
about a 3.2% reduction.

When a library "host"'s reexports change their installName with
`$ld$os10.11$install_name$host`, we used to write a load command for "host" but
write the version numbers of the reexport instead of "host". This fixes that.
I first thought that the rule is to take the version numbers from the library
that originally had that install name (implemented in D103819), but that's not
what ld64 seems to be doing: It takes the version number from the first dylib
with that install name it loads, and it loads the reexporting library before
the reexports. We already did most of that, we just added reexports before the
reexporter. After this change, we add the reexporter before the reexports.

(ld64 seems to add reexports after processing _all_ files on the command line,
while we add them right after the reexporter. For the common case of reexport +
$ld$ symbol changing back to the exporter name, this doesn't make a difference,
but you can construct a case where it does. I expect this to not make a

Implementation-wise, when merging two weak symbols, this sets a
"canOmitFromOutput" on the InputSection belonging to the weak symbol not put in
the symbol table. We then don't write InputSections that have this set, as long
as they are not referenced from other symbols. (This happens e.g. for object
files that don't set .subsections_via_symbols or that use .alt_entry.)
Some restrictions:
- not yet done for bitcode inputs
- no "comdat" handling (`kindNoneGroupSubordinate*` in ld64) --
Frame Descriptor Entries (FDEs), Language Specific Data Areas (LSDAs)
(that is, catch block unwind information) and Personality Routines
associated with weak functions still not stripped. This is wasteful,
but harmless.
- However, this does strip weaks from __unwind_info (which is needed for
correctness and not just for size)
- This nopes out on InputSections that are referenced form more than
one symbol (eg from .alt_entry) for now

- map files (change in MapFile.cpp is no-op and not needed; I just
found it a bit more explicit)

This patch is useful in itself, but it's also likely also a useful foundation

new for our target platform (10.0). This commit changes the inputs to
target 10.0, which was the simpler thing to do, but we should really
just have our lit.local.cfg default to targeting 10.15... we're not
likely to ever have proper support for the older versions anyway. I will

Previously, SyntheticSections.cpp did not have a top-level `using namespace

collide with `lld::macho::Symbol`.
`MachO::Symbol` represents the symbols defined in InterfaceFiles (TBDs). By
moving the inclusion of InterfaceFile.h into our .cpp files, we can avoid this
name collision in other files where we are only dealing with LLD's own symbols.
Along the way, I removed all unnecessary "MachO::" prefixes in our code.
Cons of this approach: If TextAPI/MachO/Symbol.h gets included via some other
header file in the future, we could run into this collision again.
Alternative 1: Have either TextAPI/MachO or BinaryFormat/MachO.h use a different
namespace. Most of the benefit of `using namespace llvm::MachO` comes from being
able to use things in BinaryFormat/MachO.h conveniently; if TextAPI was under a
different (and fully-qualified) namespace like `llvm::tapi` that would solve our

folks who own the TextAPI code need to agree to the name change.

This is a problem because if the top-level is set to Cocoa, then when we get to UIFoundation, it will try to find UIFoundation in the current top level, which is Cocoa and will not find it.

-flat_namespace makes lld emit binaries that use name lookup that's more in

-flat_namespace has three effects:
1. MH_TWOLEVEL and MH_NNOUNDEFS are no longer set in the Mach-O header
2. All symbols use BIND_SPECIAL_DYLIB_FLAT_LOOKUP as ordinal
3. When a dylib is added to the link, its dependent dylibs are also added,
so that lld can verify that no undefined symbols remain at the end of
a link with -flat_namespace. These transitive dylibs are added for symbol
resolution, but they are not emitted in LC_LOAD_COMMANDs.

When parsing bitcode, convert LTO Symbols to LLD Symbols in order to perform

This change allows us to handle `linkonce` symbols correctly, and to deal with

While at it, I also added basic logic around visibility. We don't do anything

I've adjusted the RelocAttrBits to better fit the semantics of
the relocations. In particular:
1. *_UNSIGNED relocations are no longer marked with the `TLV` bit, even
though they can occur within TLV sections. Instead the `TLV` bit is
reserved for relocations that can reference thread-local symbols, and
*_UNSIGNED relocations have their own `UNSIGNED` bit. The previous
implementation caused TLV and regular UNSIGNED semantics to be
conflated, resulting in rebase opcodes being incorrectly emitted for TLV
relocations.
2. I've added a new `POINTER` bit to denote non-relaxable GOT
relocations. This distinction isn't important on x86 -- the GOT
relocations there are either relaxable or non-relaxable loads -- but
arm64 has `GOT_LOAD_PAGE21` which loads the page that the referent
symbol is in (regardless of whether the symbol ends up in the GOT). This
relocation must reference a GOT symbol (so must have the `GOT` bit set)
but isn't itself relaxable (so must not have the `LOAD` bit). The
`POINTER` bit is used for relocations that *must* reference a GOT
slot.
3. A similar situation occurs for TLV relocations.
4. ld64 supports both a pcrel and an absolute version of
ARM64_RELOC_POINTER_TO_GOT. But the semantics of the absolute version
are pretty weird -- it results in the value of the GOT slot being
written, rather than the address. (That means a reference to a
dynamically-bound slot will result in zeroes being written.) The
programs I've tried linking don't use this form of the relocation, so
I've dropped our partial support for it by removing the relevant
RelocAttrBits.

Private extern symbols are used for things scoped to the linkage unit.
They cause duplicate symbol errors (so they're in the symbol table,
unlike TU-scoped truly local symbols), but they don't make it into the
export trie. They are created e.g. by compiling with
-fvisibility=hidden.
If two weak symbols have differing privateness, the combined symbol is
non-private external. (Example: inline functions and some TUs that
include the header defining it were built with
-fvisibility-inlines-hidden and some weren't).
A weak private external symbol implicitly has its "weak" dropped and
behaves like a regular strong private external symbol: Weak is an export
trie concept, and private symbols are not in the export trie.
If a weak and a strong symbol have different privateness, the strong
symbol wins.
If two common symbols have differing privateness, the larger symbol
wins. If they have the same size, the privateness of the symbol seen
later during the link wins (!) -- this is a bit lame, but it matches
ld64 and this behavior takes 2 lines less to implement than the less
surprising "result is non-private external), so match ld64.
(Example: `int a` in two .c files, both built with -fcommon,
one built with -fvisibility=hidden and one without.)
This also makes `__dyld_private` a true TU-local symbol, matching ld64.
To make this work, make the `const char*` StringRefZ ctor to correctly
set `size` (without this, writing the string table crashed when calling
getName() on the __dyld_private symbol).
Mention in CommonSymbol's comment that common symbols are now disabled
by default in clang.
Mention in -keep_private_externs's HelpText that the flag only has an
effect with `-r` (which we don't implement yet -- so this patch here
doesn't regress any behavior around -r + -keep_private_externs)). ld64

http://reviews.llvm.org/rL216146 does, and ld64's

* N_GSYM and N_STSYM, the STABS for global and static symbols
* Has the STABS reflect the section IDs of their referent symbols
* Ensures we don't fail when encountering absolute symbols or files with
no debug info
* Sorts STABS symbols by file to minimize the number of N_OSO entries

Debug sections contain a large amount of data. In order not to bloat the size
of the final binary, we remove them and instead emit STABS symbols for
`dsymutil` and the debugger to locate their contents in the object files.
With this diff, `dsymutil` is able to locate the debug info. However, we need
a few more features before `lldb` is able to work well with our binaries --
e.g. having `LC_DYSYMTAB` accurately reflect the number of local symbols,
emitting `LC_UUID`, and more. Those will be handled in follow-up diffs.
Note also that the STABS we emit differ slightly from what ld64 does. First, we
emit the path to the source file as one `N_SO` symbol instead of two. (`ld64`
emits one `N_SO` for the dirname and one of the basename.) Second, we do not
emit `N_BNSYM` and `N_ENSYM` STABS to mark the start and end of functions,
because the `N_FUN` STABS already serve that purpose. @clayborg recommended
these changes based on his knowledge of what the debugging tools look for.
Additionally, this current implementation doesn't accurately reflect the size
of function symbols. It uses the size of their containing sectioins as a proxy,
but that is only accurate if `.subsections_with_symbols` is set, and if there
isn't an `N_ALT_ENTRY` in that particular subsection. I think we have two
options to solve this:
1. We can split up subsections by symbol even if `.subsections_with_symbols`
is not set, but include constraints to ensure those subsections retain
their order in the final output. This is `ld64`'s approach.
2. We could just add a `size` field to our `Symbol` class. This seems simpler,
and I'm more inclined toward it, but I'm not sure if there are use cases
that it doesn't handle well. As such I'm punting on the decision for now.

This adds support for ld.lld's --reproduce / lld-link's /reproduce:
flag to the MachO port. This flag can be added to a link command
to make the link write a tar file containing all inputs to the link
and a response file containing the link command. This can be used
to reproduce the link on another machine, which is useful for sharing
bug report inputs or performance test loads.
Since the linker is usually called through the clang driver and
adding linker flags can be a bit cumbersome, setting the env var
`LLD_REPRODUCE=foo.tar` triggers the feature as well.
The file response.txt in the archive can be used with
`ld64.lld.darwinnew $(cat response.txt)` as long as the contents are
smaller than the command-line limit, or with `ld64.lld.darwinnew
@response.txt` once D92149 is in.
The support in this patch is sufficient to create a tar file for
Chromium's base_unittests that can link after unpacking on a different
machine.

On Unix, it is traditionally allowed to write variable definitions without
initialization expressions (such as "int foo;") to header files. These are
called tentative definitions.
The compiler creates common symbols when it sees tentative definitions. When
linking the final binary, if there are remaining common symbols after name
resolution is complete, the linker converts them to regular defined symbols in
a `__common` section.
This diff implements most of that functionality, though we do not yet handle
the case where there are both common and non-common definitions of the same
symbol.

The word "target" is overloaded, so lighten its load by using another word to denote the symbol or section to which a reloc points. While more stilted than "target", "referent" is rather less pompous than "designatum" or "denotatum". :P
Along the way, make a few neighboring variable names more descriptive.

Previously, we were only emitting regular bindings to weak
dynamic symbols; this diff adds support for the weak bindings too, which
can overwrite the regular bindings at runtime. We also treat weak
defined global symbols similarly -- since they can also be interposed at
runtime, they need to be treated as potentially dynamic symbols.
Note that weak bindings differ from regular bindings in that they do not
specify the dylib to do the lookup in (i.e. weak symbol lookup happens
in a flat namespace.)

The re-exports list in a TAPI document can either refer to other inlined

References to symbols in dylibs work very similarly regardless of
whether the symbol is a TLV. The main difference is that we have a
separate `__thread_ptrs` section that acts as the GOT for these
thread-locals.
We can identify thread-locals in dylibs by a flag in their export trie
entries, and we cross-check it with the relocations that refer to them
to ensure that we are not using a GOT relocation to reference a
thread-local (or vice versa).

This diff adds support for weak definitions, though it doesn't handle weak
symbols in dylibs quite correctly -- we need to emit binding opcodes for them
in the weak binding section rather than the lazy binding section.
What *is* covered in this diff:
1. Reading the weak flag from symbol table / export trie, and writing it to the
export trie
2. Refining the symbol table's rules for choosing one symbol definition over
another. Wrote a few dozen test cases to make sure we were matching ld64's
behavior.
We can now link basic C++ programs.

Summary:
llvm-mc emits `__bss` sections with an offset of zero, but we weren't expecting
that in our input, so we were copying non-zero data from the start of the file and
putting it in `__bss`, with obviously undesirable runtime results. (It appears that
the kernel will copy those nonzero bytes as long as the offset is nonzero, regardless
of whether S_ZERO_FILL is set.)
I debated on whether to make a special ZeroFillSection -- separate from a
regular InputSection -- but it seemed like too much work for now. But I'm happy
to refactor if anyone feels strongly about having it as a separate class.
Depends on D80857.

Summary:
We should be reading / writing our addends / relocated addresses based on
r_length, and not just based on the type of the relocation. But since only
some r_length values are valid for a given reloc type, I've also added some

ld64 has code to allow for r_length = 0 in X86_64_RELOC_BRANCH relocs, but I'm
not sure how to create such a relocation...

Add support to lld to use Text Based API stubs for linking. This is
support is incomplete not filtering out platforms. It also does not
account for architecture specific API handling and potentially does not
correctly handle trees of re-exports with inlined libraries being
treated as direct children of the top level library.
My test refactoring in D80217 seems to have caused yaml2obj to emit
unaligned nlist_64 structs, causing ASAN'd lld to be unhappy. I don't
think this is an issue with yaml2obj though -- llvm-mc also seems to
emit unaligned nlist_64s. This diff makes lld able to safely do aligned
reads under ASAN builds while hopefully creating no overhead for regular
builds on architectures that support unaligned reads.

I considered making a `Target::validate()` method, but I wasn't sure how
I felt about the overhead of doing yet another switch-dispatch on the
relocation type, so I put the validation in `relocateOne` instead...
might be a bit of a micro-optimization, but `relocateOne` does assume
certain things about the relocations it gets, and this error handling
makes that explicit, so it's not a totally unreasonable code
organization.
