Summary:
Implement --version for objcopy and strip.
I think there are LLVM utilities that automatically handle this, but that doesn't seem to work with custom parsing since this binary handles both objcopy and strip, so it uses custom parsing.

Submitted on behalf of Armando Montanez (amontanez@google.com).
Objects with unused program headers copied by objcopy would always have
nonzero values for program header offset and program header entry size.
While technically valid, this atypical behavior triggers warnings in some
tools. This change sets the two fields to zero when the program header is
unused, better fitting the general expectations for unused program header
data.
Section headers behaved somewhat similarly (though only with the entry size),
and are fixed in this revision as well.

Third Attempt:
- Alignment issues resolved.
- zlib::isAvailable() detected.
- ArrayRef misuse fixed.
Usage:
llvm-objcopy --compress-debug-sections=zlib foo.o
llvm-objcopy --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu foo.o
In both cases the debug section contents is compressed with zlib. In the GNU
style case the header is the "ZLIB" magic string followed by the uint64 big-
endian decompressed size. In the non-GNU mode the header is the
Elf(32|64)_Chdr.

Summary:
Allow strip to be called on multiple input files, which is interpreted as stripping N files in place. Using multiple input files is incompatible with -o.
To allow this, create a `DriverConfig` struct which just wraps a list of `CopyConfigs`. objcopy will only ever have a single `CopyConfig`, but strip will have N (where N >= 1) CopyConfigs.

The restoreDateOnFile() method used to preserve dates uses sys::fs::openFileForWrite(). That method defaults to opening files with CD_CreateAlways, which truncates the output file if it exists. Use CD_OpenExisting instead to open it and *not* truncate it, which also has the side benefit of erroring if the file does not exist (it should always exist, because we just wrote it out).
Also, fix the test case to make sure the output is a valid output file, and not empty. The extra test assertions are enough to catch this regression.

Summary:
Port GNU Objcopy -G/--keep-global-symbol(s).
This is slightly different than the already-implemented --globalize-symbol, which marks a symbol as global when copying. When --keep-global-symbol (alias -G) is used, *only* those symbols marked will stay global, and all other globals are demoted to local. (Also note that it doesn't *promote* a symbol to global). Additionally, there is a pluralized version of the flag --keep-global-symbols, which effectively applies --keep-global-symbol for every non-comment in a file.

This is done by implementing an additional subclass of Reader, BinaryReader, which works by interpreting the input file as contents for .data field, sets up a synthetic header, and adds additional sections/symbols (e.g. _binary__tmp_data_txt_start).

Per discussion on the generic-abi mailing list:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/generic-abi/MPr8TVtnVn4
An object file manipulation tool must either write out a symbol
table with the same number of entries as the original symbol table
and in the same order, or if this is impossible, refuse to operate
on the object file if it has unrecognized sections that are linked
to the symtab section. However, existing tools (namely GNU strip,
GNU objcopy and ld.{bfd,gold,lld} -r) do not comply with this at
present: they change symbol table indexes and set sh_link to 0 on
the unrecognized symtab-linked sections.
We intend to use the latter as a (temporary) signal that a tool has
operated on a proposed new symtab-linked section and invalidated the
symbol table indexes. However, llvm-objcopy currently keeps sh_link
pointing to the new symtab section. This patch changes llvm-objcopy
to set sh_link to 0 to match the behaviour of the other tools.

This option just keeps being a problem and really needs to be implemented
in some fashion. Implementing it properly requires some kind of
"replaceSectionReference" method because all the existing links need to be
maintained. The desired behavior is just for allocated sections to become
NOBITS but actually implementing that is rather tricky due to the current
design of llvm-objcopy. However converting allocated sections to NOBITS is
just an optimization and not something debuggers need. Debuggers can debug
a stripped executable and take an unstripped executable for that stripped
executable as input. Additionally allocated sections account for a very
small part of debug binaries so this optimization is quite small. I propose
that for the time being we implement this as a NOP so that people can use
llvm-objcopy where they need to, just in a sub-optimal way.
This option has already blocked a lot of people and its currently blocking me.

While writing code for input and output formats in llvm-objcopy it became
apparent that there was a code health problem. This change attempts to solve
that problem by refactoring the code to use Reader and Writer objects that can
read in different objects in different formats, convert them to a single shared
internal representation, and then write them to any other representation.
New classes:
Reader: the base class used to construct instances of the internal
representation
Writer: the base class used to write out instances of the internal
representation
ELFBuilder: a helper class for ELFWriter that takes an ELFFile and converts it
to a Object
SectionVisitor: it became necessary to remove writeSection from SectionBase
because, under the new Reader/Writer scheme, it's possible to convert between
ELF Types such as ELF32LE and ELF32BE. This isn't possible with writeSection
because it (dynamically) depends on the underlying section type *and*
(statically) depends on the ELF type. Bad things would happen if the underlying
sections for ELF32LE were used for writing to ELF64BE. To avoid this code smell
(which would have compiled, run, and output some nonsesnse) I decoupled writing
of sections from a class.
SectionWriter: This is just the ELFT templated implementation of
SectionVisitor. Many classes now have this class as a friend so that the
writing methods in this class can write out private data.
ELFWriter: This is the Writer that outputs to ELF
BinaryWriter: This is the Writer that outputs to Binary
ElfType: Because the ELF Type is not a part of the Object anymore we need a way
to construct the correct default Writer based on properties of the Reader. This
enum just keeps track of the ELF type of the input so it can be used as the
default output type as well.
Object has correspondingly undergone some serious changes as well. It now has
more generic methods for building and manipulating ELF binaries. This interface
makes ELFBuilder easy enough to use and will make the BinaryReader/Builder easy
to create as well. Most changes in this diff are cosmetic and deal with the
fact that a method has been moved from one class to another or a change from a
pointer to a reference. Almost no changes should result in a functional
difference (this is after all a refactor). One minor functional change was made
and the result can be seen in remove-shstrtab-error.test. The fact that it
fails hasn't changed but the error message has changed because that failure is
detected at a later point in the code now (because WriteSectionHeaders is a
property of the ElfWriter *not* a property of the Object). I'd say roughly
80-90% of this code is cosmetically different, 10-19% is different but
functionally the same, and 1-5% is functionally different despite not causing a
change in tests.

For sections with different virtual and physical addresses, alignment and

Without this when lld failed to replace the output file it would leave
the temporary behind. The problem is that the existing logic is
- cancel the delete flag

We have to cancel first to avoid renaming and then crashing and
deleting the old version. What is missing then is deleting the
temporary file if the rename fails.
This can be an issue on both unix and windows, but I am not sure how
to cause the rename to fail reliably on unix. I think it can be done
on ZFS since it has an ACL system similar to what windows uses, but
adding support for checking that in llvm-lit is probably not worth it.

A common use case for these being used together is to dump a specific section's

Currently llvm-objcopy copies the exact behavoir of GNU's --strip-all.
eu-strip is used as a drop in replacement for GNU strip/objcopy in many many
places without issue. eu-strip removes non-allocated sections and keeps
.gnu.warning* sections. Because --strip-all will likely be the most widely
used stripping option we should make --strip-all as aggressive as it can safely
be. Since we have evidence from eu-strip that this is a safe option we should
allow it. For those that might still have an issue afterwards I've added
--strip-all-gnu as an exact drop in replacement for GNU's --strip-all as well.

Many projects use this option. There are two ways to use it. You can
either a) Just use --strip-debug and keep the old file with debug

--add-gnu-debuglink all in conjunction to create two separate files, the
stripped file and the debug file. --only-keep-debug is more complicated
than --strip-debug because it keeps the section headers without keeping
section contents. That's not really supported by llvm-objcopy at the

Just aligning segment offsets to segment alignment is incorrect and also
wastes more space than is needed. The requirement is that p_offset ==
p_addr modulo p_align *not* that p_offset == 0 modulo p_align. Generally
speaking we've been using p_addr == 0 modulo p_align. In fact yaml2obj
can't even produce a valid situation which causes llvm-objcopy to
