If section size is not multiple of 512, the writer added NULL bytes at the end
of it to make it so. That is not required by the PE/COFF spec, and the MSVC's
linker does not do that too. So we don't need to do that, too.

Code to create COFF section header was scattered across many member functions
of SectionChunk. Consolidate it to a member function of SectionHeaderTableChunk.

/ALTERNATENAME is a rarely-used, undocumented command line option that is
needed to link LLD for release build. It seems that the option is for defining
an weak alias; /alternatename:foo=bar defines weak symbol "foo" for "bar".
If "foo" is defined in an input file, it'll be linked normally and the command
line option will have no effect. If it's not defined, "foo" will be handled
as an alias for "bar".
This patch implements the parser for the option. The actual weak alias handling
will be implemented in a separate patch.

GroupedSectionsPass was a complicated pass. That pass's job was to reorder
atoms by section name, so that the atoms with the same section prefix will be
emitted consecutively to the executable. The pass added layout edges to atoms,
and let the layout pass to actually reorder them.
This patch simplifies the design by making GroupedSectionPass to directly
reorder atoms, rather than adding layout edges. This resembles ELF's
ArrayOrderPass.
This patch improves the performance of LLD; it used to take 7.1 seconds to
link LLD with LLD on my Macbook Pro, but it now takes 6.1 seconds.

Emitting idata atoms to their own section would make debugging easier.
The Windows loader do not really care about whether the DLL import table is
in .rdata or its own .idata section, so there is no change in functionality.
llvm-svn: 196458
This is a patch to let the PECOFF writer to use the information passed
by the parser for /section option. The implementation of /section should
now be complete.
llvm-svn: 195893
/MERGE option is a bit complicated for many reasons. Firstly, it takes both
positive and negative arguments. That means we have to have one of three
distinctive values (set, clear or unchange) for each permission bit. In this
patch we represent the three values using two bitmasks.
Secondly, the permissions specified by the parameter is bitwise or-ed with the
default permissions of a section. There is an exception for that rule; if one
of READ, WRITE or EXECUTE bit is specified, unspecified bits need to be
cleared. (So if you specify only WRITE for example, the resulting section will
not have WRITE nor EXECUTE bits.)
Lastly, multiple /merge options are allowed.
llvm-svn: 195882
Atom ordinals are the indeces in a file. Currently the PECOFF reader assigns
ordinals for each section, so it's (incorrectly) assigning duplicate ordinals.
llvm-svn: 195852
Instead of having multiple SectionChunks for each section (.text, .data,
.rdata and .bss), we could have one chunk writer that can emit any sections.
This patch does that -- removing all section-sepcific chunk writers and
replace them with one "generic" writer.
This change should simplify the code because it eliminates similar-but-
slightly-different classes.
It also fixes an issue in the previous design. Before this patch, we could
emit only limited set of sections (i.e. .text, .data, .rdata and .bss). With
this patch, we can emit any sections.
llvm-svn: 195797
According to the PE/COFF spec, a section with IMAGE_SCN_LNK_INFO should only
appear in an object file, and not allowed in an executable. So I believe
treating it as the same way as IMAGE_SCN_LNK_INFO is the right thing.
llvm-svn: 195692
This patch won't change the output because the layout of linker internal
atoms is forced by layout-{before,after} references. Ordinals of the linker
internal atoms are not currently used. (That's why it's working even if there
are atoms having the same ordinals.)
llvm-svn: 195610
Change the attribute from sectionBasedOnContent to sectionCustomRequired
because its the right attribute for atoms read from COFF files to have.
COFF atoms should basically be emitted to the section having the same name
as input. Permissions/attributes should not affect that.
There's no functionality change because the writer doesn't yet use the
section name. The writer will be modified in a following patch, so that atoms
are written to its customSectionName()'s section.
llvm-svn: 195595
Looks like -L paths are not positional. They need to be added to a list of
search paths and those needs to be searched when lld looks for a library.
llvm-svn: 195594
If /subsystem option is not specified, the linker needs to infer it from the
entry point function. If "main" or "wmain" is defined, it's a console
application. If "WinMain" or "wWinMain" is defined, it's a GUI application.
llvm-svn: 195592
This adds LinkerScript support by creating a type Script which is of type
FileNode in the InputGraph. Once the LinkerScript Parser converts the
LinkerScript into a sequence of command, the commands are handled by the
equivalent LinkerScript node for the current Flavor/Target. For ELF, a
ELFGNULdScript gets created which converts the commands to ELF nodes and ELF
control nodes(ELFGroup for handling Group nodes).
Since the Inputfile type has to be determined in the Driver, the Driver needs
to determine the complete path of the file that needs to be processed by the
Linker. Due to this, few tests have been removed since the Driver uses paths
that doesnot exist.
llvm-svn: 195583
NativeReferenceIvarsV1 cannot handle more than 65535 relocation targets
because its field to point to the target table is of type uint16_t. Because
of that limitation, the LLD couldn't link a file containing more than 65535
relocations. 65535 is not a big number - the LLD couldn't even link itself
with V1.
This patch solves the issue by adding NativeReferenceIvarsV2 support. The
new structure has more bits for the target table, so it can handle a large
number of relocatinos.
V2 structure is larger than V1. In order to prevent file bloating, V2 format
is used only when the resulting file cannot be represented in V1 format. The
writer and the reader support both V1 and V2 formats.

The maximum number of references the file with NativeReferenceIvarsV1 can
contain is 65534. If a file larger than that is converted to Native format,
the conversion will fail without any error message. This caused a subtle bug
that the LLD would produce a broken executable only when input files contain
too many references.
This issue exists since the RoundTripNativeTest is introduced in r193585. Since
then, it seems that nobody have linked any program having more than 65534
relocations with the LLD. Otherwise we would have found it earlier.
llvm-svn: 194987
This patch does not change the meaning of the program, but if something's wrong
in the linker or the compiler and the control reaches to the gap of imported
function table, it will stop immediately because of the presence of INT3. If
NOP, it'd fall through to the next call instruction, which is usually a
completely foreign function call.
llvm-svn: 194860
The result of sizeof(SymbolTable<ELFT>::SymbolEntry) in DynamicSymbolTable
<ELFT>::write() was different from the same expression in RelocationTable
<ELFT>::write(), although the same template parameters were passed. They were
40 and 32, respectively. As a result, the same vector was treated as a
vector of 40 byte values in some places and a vector of 32 values in other
places. That caused an weird issue, resulting in collapse of the rela.dyn
section.
I suspect that this is a padding size calculation bug in MSVC 2012, but I
may be wrong. Reordering the fields to eliminate padding seems to fix the
issue.
llvm-svn: 194349
This patch adds support for converting normalized mach-o to and from binary
mach-o. It also changes WriterMachO (which previously directly wrote a
mach-o binary given a set of Atoms) to instead do it in two steps. The first
step uses normalizedFromAtoms() to convert Atoms to normalized mach-o, and the
second step uses writeBinary() which to generate the mach-o binary file.

These fields are for /align option. Section alignment can be set per-section
basis with /section option too. In order to avoid name conflicts, rename the
existing identifiers to become more specific. No functionality change.
llvm-svn: 194160
We wrapped the linker internal file with a virtual archive file, so that the
linker internal file was linked only when it's actually used. This was to avoid
__ImageBase being included to the resulting executable. __ImageBase used to
occupy four bytes when emitted to executable.
And then it turned out that the implementation of __ImageBase was wrong -- it
shouldn't have been a regular atom but an absolute atom. Absolute atoms point
to some memory location, but they don't occupy disk space themselves. So it
wouldn't increase executable size (except the symbol table.) That means that
it's OK to link the linker internal file unconditionally.
So this patch does that, removing the wrapper archive file. Doing this
simplifies the code.
llvm-svn: 194127
n_desc field in MachO string table was not initialized. On Unix,
test/darwin/hello-world.objtxt did not fail because I think an nlist object
is always allocated to a fresh heap initialized with zeros. On Windows,
uninitialized fields are filled with 0xCC when compiled with /GZ. Because
of that the test was failing on Windows.

Bugs that would be caught by this assertion would also be caught by
RoundTripYAMLPass test. We've enabled the pass for PECOFF, so we can remove
this.
llvm-svn: 193886
The data directory in the PE/COFF header consisted of list of data directory
atoms. This patch changes it -- now there's only one data directory entry that
contains former data directories. That's easier to handle in the writer as well
as to write to/read from YAML/Native files. The main purpose of this refactoring
is to enable RoundTrip tests for PE/COFF.
There's no functionality change.
llvm-svn: 193854
This reverts commit r193479.
The atoms are already added to the file, so re-adding them caused the YAML
writer to write the same atoms twice. That made the YAML reader to fail with
"duplicate atom name" error.
This is not the only error we've got for RoundTripYAMLPass for PECOFF, so we
cannot enable the test yet. More fixes will come.

Enable this for the following flavors
a) core
b) gnu
c) darwin
Its disabled for the flavor PECOFF. Convenient markers are added with FIXME
comments in the Driver that would be removed and code removed from each flavor.

__ImageBase is an absolute symbol whose address is the same as the image base
address. What we did before this patch was to create __ImageBase symbol as a
symbol whose *contents* (not location) is the image base address, which is
clearly wrong.
llvm-svn: 193565
On discussing this with Nick, it looks like the StubAtoms
that contain a lazyImmediate reference kind should be null
and the location needs to be fixed up later with some value
that is an offset into the __LINKEDIT segment.
The drawback is that it allows yaml files with references
that expect a target to be considered without one.
This results in bad yaml files that would need to be handled
in the YAML Reader.
Inorder to fix this, the Stub Atoms use a dummy target such
as itself.

This patch won't change LLD's behavior because it's a temporary file and
LLD does not use the file extension to determine file type. But using the
correct file extension is a good thing.

We should dead-strip atoms only if they are created for COMDAT symbols. If we
remove non-COMDAT atoms from a binary, it will no longer be guaranteed that
the binary will work correctly.
In COFF, you can manipulate the order of section contents in the resulting
binary by section name. For example, if you have four sections
.data$unique_prefix_{a,b,c,d}, it's guaranteed that the contents of A, B, C,
and D will be consecutive in the resulting .data section in that order.
Thus, you can access B's and C's contents by incrementing a pointer pointing
to A until it reached to D. That's why we cannot dead-strip B or C even if
no one is directly referencing to them.
Some object files in the standard library actually use that technique.
llvm-svn: 193017
INT 3 (machine code 0xCC) will raise an interrupt when executed. That is better
for filling the gap than NOP because we want to stop the execution immediately
when the control reached to non-code address.
