To represent the actual symbols, this uses absolute symbols that

ICF previously operated only within a given OutputSection. We would
merge all CFStrings first, then merge all regular code sections in a
second phase. This worked fine since CFStrings would never reference
regular `__text` sections. However, I would like to expand ICF to merge
functions that reference unwind info. Unwind info references the LSDA
section, which can in turn reference the `__text` section, so we cannot
perform ICF in phases.
In order to have ICF operate on InputSections spanning multiple
OutputSections, we need a way to distinguish InputSections that are
destined for different OutputSections, so that we don't fold across
section boundaries. We achieve this by creating OutputSections early,
and setting `InputSection::parent` to point to them. This is what
LLD-ELF does. (This change should also make it easier to implement the
`section$start$` symbols.)
This diff also folds InputSections w/o checking their flags, which I
think is the right behavior -- if they are destined for the same
OutputSection, they will have the same flags in the output (even if
their input flags differ). I.e. the `parent` pointer check subsumes the
`flags` check. In practice this has nearly no effect (ICF did not become
any more effective on chromium_framework).
I've also updated ICF.cpp's block comment to better reflect its current
status.

This is a pretty big refactoring diff, so here are the motivations:
Previously, ICF ran after scanRelocations(), where we emitting
bind/rebase opcodes etc. So we had a bunch of redundant leftovers after
ICF. Having ICF run before Writer seems like a better design, and is
what LLD-ELF does, so this diff refactors it accordingly.
However, ICF had two dependencies on things occurring in Writer: 1) it
needs literals to be deduplicated beforehand and 2) it needs to know
which functions have unwind info, which was being handled by
`UnwindInfoSection::prepareRelocations()`.
In order to do literal deduplication earlier, we need to add literal
input sections to their corresponding output sections. So instead of
putting all input sections into the big `inputSections` vector, and then
filtering them by type later on, I've changed things so that literal
sections get added directly to their output sections during the 'gather'
phase. Likewise for compact unwind sections -- they get added directly
to the UnwindInfoSection now. This latter change is not strictly
necessary, but makes it easier for ICF to determine which functions have
unwind info.
Adding literal sections directly to their output sections means that we
can no longer determine `inputOrder` from iterating over
`inputSections`. Instead, we store that order explicitly on
InputSection. Bloating the size of InputSection for this purpose would
be unfortunate -- but LLD-ELF has already solved this problem: it reuses
`outSecOff` to store this order value.
One downside of this refactor is that we now make an additional pass
over the unwind info relocations to figure out which functions have
unwind info, since want to know that before `processRelocations()`. I've
made sure to run that extra loop only if ICF is enabled, so there should
be no overhead in non-optimizing runs of the linker.
The upside of all this is that the `inputSections` vector now contains
only ConcatInputSections that are destined for ConcatOutputSections, so
we can clean up a bunch of code that just existed to filter out other
elements from that vector.
I will test for the lack of redundant binds/rebases in the upcoming
cfstring deduplication diff. While binds/rebases can also happen in the
regular `.text` section, they're more common in `.data` sections, so it
seems more natural to test it that way.
This change is perf-neutral when linking chromium_framework.

The two different thread_local_regular sections (__thread_data and

1. https://reviews.llvm.org/D102972 changed concatOutputSections

output segments, we would add the two sections to the __DATA
output segment in nondeterministic order.
2. The same change also moved the two stable_sort()s for segments
and sections to sort(). Since sections with assigned priority
(such as TLV data) have the same priority for all sections,
this is incorrect -- we must use stable_sort() so that the
initial (input-order-based) order remains.
As a side effect, we now (deterministically) put the __common
section in front of __bss (while previously we happened to
put it after it). (__common and __bss are both zerofill so
both have order INT_MAX, but common symbols are added to
inputSections before normal sections are collected.)

`outSecFileOff` and the associated `getFileOffset()` accessors were
unnecessary.
For all the cases we care about, `outSecFileOff` is the same as
`outSecOff`. The only time they deviate is if there are zerofill
sections within a given segment. But since zerofill sections are always
at the end of a segment, the only sections where the two values deviate
are zerofill sections themselves. And we never actually query the
outSecFileOff of zerofill sections.
As for `getFileOffset()`, the only place it was being used was to
calculate the offset of the entry symbol. However, we can compute that
value by just taking the difference between the address of the entry
symbol and the address of the Mach-O header. In fact, this appears to be
what ld64 itself does. This difference is the same as the file offset as
long as there are no intervening zerofill sections, but since `__text`
is the first section in `__TEXT`, this never happens, so our previous
use of `getFileOffset()` was not wrong -- just inefficient.

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.

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.

CString deduplication reduces chromium_framework from 250MB to 242MB, or

In some cases, we end up with several distinct DylibFiles that
have the same install name. Only emit a single LC_LOAD_DYLIB in

This happens in 3 cases I know of:
1. Some tbd files are symlinks. libpthread.tbd is a symlink against
libSystem.tbd for example, so `-lSystem -lpthread` loads
libSystem.tbd twice. We could (and maybe should) cache loaded
dylibs by realpath() to catch this.
2. Some tbd files are copies of each other. For example,
CFNetwork.framework/CFNetwork.tbd and
CFNetwork.framework/Versions/A/CFNetwork.tbd are two distinct
copies of the same file. The former is found by
`-framework CFNetwork` and the latter by the reexport in
CoreServices.tbd. We could conceivably catch this by
making `-framework` search look in `Versions/Current` instead
of in the root, and/or by using a content hash to cache
tbd files, but that's starting to sound complicated.
3. Magic $ld$ symbol processing can change the install name of
a dylib based on the target platform_version. Here, two
truly distinct dylibs can have the same install name.
So we need this code to deal with (3) anyways. Might as well use
it for 1 and 2, at least for now :)

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
Things that work based on symbols Just Work:
- map files (change in MapFile.cpp is no-op and not needed; I just
found it a bit more explicit)
- exports
Things that work with inputSections need to explicitly check if
an inputSection is written (e.g. unwind info).
This patch is useful in itself, but it's also likely also a useful foundation
for dead_strip.
I used to have a "canoncialRepresentative" pointer on InputSection instead of
just the bool, which would be handy for ICF too. But I ended up not needing it
for this patch, so I removed that again for now.

codesign/libstuff checks that the `__LLVM` segment is directly
before `__LINKEDIT` by checking that `fileOff + fileSize == next segment
fileOff`. Previously, there would be gaps between the segments due to
the fact that their fileOffs are page-aligned but their fileSizes
aren't. In order to satisfy codesign, we page-align fileOff *before*
calculating fileSize. (I don't think codesign checks for the relative
ordering of other segments, so in theory we could do this just for
`__LLVM`, but ld64 seems to do it for all segments.)
Note that we *don't* round up the fileSize of the `__LINKEDIT` segment.
Since it's the last segment, it doesn't need to worry about contiguity;
in addition, codesign checks that the last (hidden) section in
`__LINKEDIT` covers the last byte of the segment, so if we rounded up
`__LINKEDIT`'s size we would have to do the same for its last section,
which is a bother.
While at it, I also addressed a FIXME in the linkedit-contiguity.s test

Previously, SyntheticSections.cpp did not have a top-level `using namespace
llvm::MachO` because it caused a naming conflict: `llvm::MachO::Symbol` would
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
problems. Cons: lots of files across llvm-project will need to be updated, and
folks who own the TextAPI code need to agree to the name change.
Alternative 2: Rename our Symbol to something like `LldSymbol`. I think this is
ugly.
Personally I think alternative #1 is ideal, but I'm not sure the effort to do it is
worthwhile, this diff's halfway solution seems good enough to me. Thoughts?

Dynamic lookup symbols are symbols that work like dynamic symbols
in ELF: They're not bound to a dylib like normal Mach-O twolevel lookup
symbols, but they live in a global pool and dyld resolves them against
exported symbols from all loaded dylibs.
This adds support for dynamical lookup symbols to lld/mac. They are
represented as DylibSymbols with file set to nullptr.
This also uses this support to implement the -U flag, which makes
a specific symbol that's undefined at the end of the link a
dynamic lookup symbol.
For -U, it'd be sufficient to just to a pass over remaining undefined symbols
at the end of the link and to replace them with dynamic lookup symbols then.
But I'd like to use this code to implement flat_namespace too, and that will
require real support for resolving dynamic lookup symbols in SymbolTable. So
this patch adds this now already.
While writing tests for this, I noticed that we didn't set N_WEAK_DEF in the
symbol table for DylibSymbols, so this fixes that too.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D97521
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.

Note that there is a triple indirection involved with
personalities and compact unwind:
1. Two bits of each CU encoding are used as an offset into the
personality array.
2. Each entry of the personality array is an offset from the image base.
The resulting address (after adding the image base) should point within the
GOT.
3. The corresponding GOT entry contains the actual pointer to the
personality function.
To further complicate things, when the personality function is in the
object file (as opposed to a dylib), its references in
`__compact_unwind` may refer to it via a section + offset relocation
instead of a symbol relocation. Since our GOT implementation can only
create entries for symbols, we have to create a synthetic symbol at the
given section offset.

We were mishandling the case where both `__tbss` and `__thread_data` sections were

TLVP relocations should be encoded as offsets from the start of `__thread_data`,
even if the symbol is actually located in `__thread_bss`. Previously, we were
writing the offset from the start of the containing section, which doesn't
really make sense since there's no way `tlv_get_addr()` can know which section a
given `tlv$init` symbol is in at runtime.
In addition, this patch ensures that we place `__thread_data` immediately before
`__thread_bss`. This is what ld64 does, likely for performance reasons. Zerofill
sections must also be at the end of their segments; we were already doing this,
but now we ensure that `__thread_bss` occurs before `__bss`, so that it's always
possible to have it contiguous with `__thread_data`.
