GNU ld's manual says that TARGET(foo) is basically an alias for
`--format foo` where foo is a BFD target name such as elf64-x86-64.
Unlike GNU linkers, lld doesn't allow arbitrary BFD target name for
--format. We accept only "default", "elf" or "binary". This makes
situation a bit tricky because we can't simply make TARGET an alias for
--target.
A quick code search revealed that the usage number of TARGET is very
small, and the only meaningful usage is to switch to the binary mode.
Thus, in this patch, we handle only TARGET(elf.*) and TARGET(binary).

Some lit tests that call llvm-ar use the 'r' flag. If the target archive
already exists and is in a corrupt state, this can cause the test to fail. We
have added 'rm -f' calls before the llvm-ar calls to increase the
robustness of the tests.

If more than a single output section is added to a PT_LOAD header,
only the first section should set the LMAOffset of the segment.
Otherwise, we get a load-address overlap error

If both the MemRegion and LMARegion are set for an output section in
a linker script, we should only increase the LMARegion if it is
different from the MemRegion. Otherwise, we reserve the memory twice.

Previously LLD could assign to Dot or set the address
for the section with address expression but did not advance
the position in a memory region.
Patch fixes the issue.

LLD removes empty output sections otherwise specified in the linker
script. Prior to this change however, if section descriptions included
ANY kind of symbol assignment, then the consequent output section would
not be removed, even if the assignment was marked with PROVIDE and not
actually triggered (i.e. the symbol was never referenced). This change
modifies the isDiscarable function to ignore such directives when
determining whether a section should be discarded, in keeping with
bfd's behaviour. Symbol assignments that do result in a symbol
definition will continue to result in a kept section (this is not
actually the same as bfd's behaviour, but it is simpler, and probably
makes more sense).

Comment in the test case says that:
## This inputs previously created a 4gb temporarily file under 32 bit
## configuration. Issue was fixed. There is no clean way to check that from here.
## This testcase added for documentation purposes.
The intention of the test was to create such huge file
in case if our code will be broken again.
And currently it documents we do not create huge outputs.
r336129 changed -o to /dev/null and broke the intentions of the test case.

This is PR36768.
Linker script OVERLAYs are described in 4.6.9. Overlay Description of the spec:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/4/html/Using_ld_the_GNU_Linker/sections.html
They are used to allow output sections which have different LMAs but the same VAs
and used for embedded programming.
Currently, LLD restricts overlapping of sections and that seems to be the most desired
behaviour for defaults. My thoughts about possible approaches for PR36768 are on the bug page,
this patch implements OVERLAY keyword and allows VAs overlapping for sections that within the overlay.

Summary:
Currently when --no-rosegment is specified or a linker script with SECTIONS command is used,
.rodata (A) .text (AX) are assigned the same rank and .rodata may be placed after .text .
This increases the gap between .text and .bss and can cause pc-relative relocation overflow (e.g. gcc crtbegin.o crtbegin.S have R_X86_64_PC32 relocation from .text to .bss).
This patch makes SingleRoRx affect only segment layout, not section layout. As a consequence, .rodata will be placed before .text regardless of SingleRoRx.

This CL places .dynsym and .dynstr at the beginning of SHF_ALLOC
sections. We do this to mitigate the possibility that huge .dynsym and
.dynstr sections placed between ro-data and text sections cause
relocation overflow.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D45788
llvm-svn: 332374
This CL is to mitigate R_X86_64_PC32 relocation overflow problems for huge binaries that has near 4G allocated sections.
By examining those binaries, there're 2 issues contributes to the problem:
1). huge ".dynsym" and ".dynstr" stands in the way between .rodata and .text
2). _init_array_start/end are placed at 0 if no ".init_array" presents, this causes .text relocation against them become more prone to overflow.
This CL addresses 1st problem (the 2nd will be addressed in another CL.) by assigning a smaller sortrank to .dynsym and .dynstr thus they no longer stand in between.

Currently, LLD supports ASSERT as a separate command.
We support two forms now.
Assign expression-form: . = ASSERT(0x100)
(old GNU ld required it and some scripts in the wild are still using
something like . = ASSERT((_end - _text <= (512 * 1024 * 1024)), "kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE");
Nowadays above is not a mandatory form and command-like form is commonly used:
ASSERT(<expr>, "text);
The return value of the ASSERT is Dot. That was implemented in D30171.
It looks like (2) is just a short version of (1) then.
GNU ld does *not* list ASSERT as a SECTIONS command:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/SECTIONS.html#SECTIONS
Given above we probably can change ASSERT to be an assignment to Dot.
That makes the rest of the code much simpler. Patch do that.

Currently LLD sets OutSecOff in addSection for input sections.
That is a fake offset (just a rude approximation to remember the order),
used for sorting SHF_LINK_ORDER sections
(see resolveShfLinkOrder, compareByFilePosition).
There are 2 problems with such approach:
1. We currently change and reuse Size field as a value assigned. Changing size is
not good because leads to bugs. Currently, SIZEOF(.bss) for empty .bss returns 2
because we add two empty synthetic sections and increase size twice by 1.
(See PR37011: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37011)
2. Such approach simply does not work when --symbol-ordering-file is involved,
because processing of the ordering file might break the initial section order.
This fixes PR37011.

Currently, LLD print symbol assignment commands to the map file,
but it does not do that for assignments that are outside of the section
descriptions. Such assignments can affect the layout though.

* Teaches LLD to print symbol assignments outside of section declaration.
* Teaches LLD to print PROVIDE/HIDDEN/PROVIDE hidden commands.

Currently when we build input sections list in linker script
we ignore all rel[a] sections. That was done to support
scripts like .rela.dyn : { *(.rela.data) } for emit relocs.
Though as a result following scripts were also silently ignored:
/DISCARD/ : { *(.rela.plt)
/DISCARD/ : { *(.rela.dyn)
and we produced output with this sections. That is not ideal.
The solution this patch suggests is simple: do not ignore synthetic
rel[a] sections. That way we can enable common discarding logic
for them and report a proper error.
