This is PR33596. Previously LLD would crash
because BYTE command synthesized output section,
but it was not assigned to Sec member of OutputSectionCommand.
Behaviour of -script and -r combination is not well defined,
but it seems after this change LLD naturally inherits behavior of
GNU linkers - creates output section requested in script and does not
crash anymore.

When -ffunction-sections and ARM C++ exceptions are used each .text.suffix
section will have at least one .ARM.exidx.suffix section and may have an
additional .ARM.extab.suffix section if the unwinding instructions are too
large to inline into the .ARM.exidx table entry. For a large program without
a linker script this can lead to a large number of section header table
entries that can increase the size of the ELF file.
This change introduces a default rule for .ARM.extab.* to be placed in
a single output section called .ARM.extab . This follows the behavior of
ld.gold and ld.bfd.

Most "reserved" symbols are in ElfSym and it looks like there's no
reason to not do the same thing for _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. This should
help https://reviews.llvm.org/D34618 too.
llvm-svn: 306292
On many architectures gcc and clang will recognize _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ - .
and produce a relocation that can be processed without needing to know the
value of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. This is not always the case; for example ARM
gcc produces R_ARM_BASE_PREL but clang produces the more general
R_ARM_REL32 to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. To evaluate this relocation
correctly _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ must be defined to be the either the base of
the GOT or end of the GOT dependent on architecture..
If/when llvm-mc is changed to recognize _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ - . this
change will not be necessary for new objects. However there may still be
old objects and versions of clang.

I found this while trying to build u-boot. It uses -Ttext in
combination with linker scripts.
My first reaction was to change the linker scripts to have the correct
value, but I found that it is actually quite convenient to have -Ttext
take precedence.
By having just
.text : { *(.text) }
In the script, they can define the text address in a single Makefile
and pass it to ld with -Ttext and for the C code with
-DFoo=value. Doing the same with linker scripts would require them to
be generated during the build.

In preparation for supporting range extension thunks we now continually
call createThunks() until no more thunks are added. This requires us to
record the thunks we add on each pass and only merge the new ones into the
OutputSection. We also need to check if a Relocation is targeting a thunk
to prevent us from infinitely creating more thunks.

This is probably the main patch left in unifying our intermediary
representation.
It moves the creation of default commands before section sorting. This
has the nice effect that we now have one location where we decide
where an orphan section should be placed.
Before this patch sortSections would decide the relative location of
orphan sections to other sections, but it was up to placeOrphanSection
to decide on the exact location.
We now only sort sections we created since the linker script is
already in the correct order.

Thunks are now generated per InputSectionDescription instead of per
OutputSection. This allows created ThunkSections to be inserted directly
into InputSectionDescription.
Changes in this patch:
- Loop over InputSectionDescriptions to find relocations to Thunks
- Generate a ThunkSection per InputSectionDescription
- Remove synchronize() as we no longer need it
- Move fabricateDefaultCommands() before createThunks

Previously we would merge relocation sections by name.
That did not work in some cases, like testcase shows.
Patch implements logic to merge relocation sections if their target
sections were merged into the same output section.

Before this patch in -r we compute the OutputSection sizes early in
the various calls to assignOffsets. With this change we can remove
most of those calls.

Traditionally, it has been defined in crtbegin.o, which is typically
provided by libgcc or as part of the C library on some systems. However,
but there's no principled reason for it to be there. We optionaly
define this symbol, which can be used on platforms that don't provide
__dso_handle in crtbegin.o or which don't use crtbegin.o at all.

This is PR33289.
Previously LLD leaved section naming as is and that lead to wrong result,
because we decompress sections when using -r,
and hence should remove ".z" prefix.

This change alters the sorting for OutputSections with the SHF_LINK_ORDER
flag in OutputSection::finalize() to use the InputSectionDescription
representation and not the OutputSection::Sections representation.

This is probably the correct location for it: next to
fabricateDefaultCommands. If we don't have a linker script, we
fabricate one. If we have one, we patch it.

Before InputSectionBase had an OutputSection pointer, but that was not
always valid. For example, if it was a merge section one actually had
to look at MergeSec->OutSec.
This was brittle and caused bugs like the one fixed by r304260.
We now have a single Parent pointer that points to an OutputSection
for InputSection, but to a SyntheticSection for merge sections and
.eh_frame. This makes it impossible to accidentally access an invalid
OutSec.

When there is a linker script with .ARM.exidx in the SECTIONS
command we must add the .ARM.exidx sentinel section to the
InputSectionDescriptions as well as to OutputSection::Sections.

Now that we are trying to use the linker script representation as the
canonycal one, there are a few loops looking for just OutputSectionCommands.
Create a vector with just the OutputSectionCommands once that is
stable to simplify the rest of the code.

On SPARC, .plt is both writeable and executable. The current way
sections are sorted means that lld puts it after .data/.bss. but it
really needs to be close to .test to make sure branches into .plt
don't overflow. I'd argue that because .bss is supposed to come last
on all architectures, we should change the default sort order such
that writable and executable sections come before sections that are
just writeable. read-only executable sections should still come after
sections that are just read-only of course. This diff makes this
change.
llvm-svn: 304008
In this way, the content and the flag is always consistent, which I
think better than removing the bit when input sections reaches the Writer.
