LLD can not catch a memory area overflow when using a data command.
If we have the script below:
.foo :
{
*(.foo)
BYTE(0x1)
} > ram
where BYTE overflows the ram region, we do not report it currently.
Patch fixes that.

With the current code if the script has a PHDRS we always obey and try

This is PR36515.
Currenly if we have a script like .debug_info 0 : { *(.debug_info) },
we would not remove this section and keep it in the output.
That does not work, because it is common case for
debug sections to have a zero address expression.
Patch changes behavior so that we remove only sections
that do not use symbols in its expressions.

This fixes pr36475.
I think this code can be simplified a bit, but I would like to check
in the more direct fix if we are in agreement on the direction and
then refactor.
This is not something that bfd does. The issue is not noticed in bfd
because it keeps fewer sections from the linkerscript in the output.
The reasons why it seems reasonable to do this:
- As George noticed, we would still keep the flags if the output
section had both an empty synthetic section and a regular section
- We need an heuristic to find the flags of output sections. Using the
flags of a synthetic section that would have been there seems a
reasonable heuristic.
llvm-svn: 326137
This continues direction started in D43069.
We can keep sections that are explicitly assigned to segment in script.
It helps to simplify code.

This responds to PR36475,
r325763 led to unexprected layout change, though
new behavior seems to be more correct.
Previously we could have following script:
.foo : { *(.foo) }
.bar : { *(.synthetic_empty) BYTE(0x11) }}
where synthetic_empty is a synthetic section which is empty and
hence removed by linker.
Before r325763 .bar would receive section flags from .synthetic_empty,
but after this revision it receives flags the same as .foo section has.
It is the same as if there would not be any synthetic_empty section in a script,
so looks reasonable and consistent behavior:
.foo : { *(.foo) }
.bar : { BYTE(0x11) }}
Patch adds testcase to document it.

Summary:
While trying to make a linker script behave the same way with lld as it did
with bfd, I discovered that lld currently doesn't diagnose overlapping
output sections. I was getting very strange runtime failures which I
tracked down to overlapping sections in the resulting binary. When linking
with ld.bfd overlapping output sections are an error unless
--noinhibit-exec is passed and I believe lld should behave the same way
here to avoid surprising crashes at runtime.
The patch also uncovered an errors in the tests: arm-thumb-interwork-thunk
was creating a binary where .got.plt was placed at an address overlapping
with .got.

This should fix PR36017.
The root problem is that we were creating a PT_LOAD just for the
header. That was technically valid, but inconvenient: we should not be
making the ELF discontinuous.
The solution is to allow a section with LMAExpr to be added to a
PT_LOAD if that PT_LOAD doesn't already have a LMAExpr.
llvm-svn: 323625
This fixes the crash reported at PR36083.
The issue is that we were trying to put all the sections in the same
PT_LOAD and crashing trying to write past the end of the file.
This also adds accounting for used space in LMARegion, without it all
3 PT_LOADs would have the same physical address.

The problem we had with it is that anything inside an AT is an

Previously we always handled -defsym after other commands in command line.
That made impossible to overload values set by -defsym from linker script:
test.script:
foo = 0x22;
-defsym=foo=0x11 -script t.script
would always set foo to 0x11.
That is inconstent with common logic which allows to override command line
options. it is inconsistent with bfd behavior and seems breaks assumption that
-defsym is the same as linker script assignment, as -defsyms always handled out of
command line order.
Patch fixes the handling order.

Previously, in r320472, I moved the calculation of section offsets and sizes
for compressed debug sections into maybeCompress, which happens before
assignAddresses, so that the compression had the required information. However,
I failed to take account of relocations that patch such sections. This had two
effects:
1. A race condition existed when a debug section referred to a different debug
section (see PR35788).
2. References to symbols in non-debug sections would be patched incorrectly.
This is because the addresses of such symbols are not calculated until after
assignAddresses (this was a partial regression caused by r320472, but they
could still have been broken before, in the event that a custom layout was used
in a linker script).
assignAddresses does not need to know about the output section size of
non-allocatable sections, because they do not affect the value of Dot. This
means that there is no longer a reason not to support custom layout of
compressed debug sections, as far as I'm aware. These two points allow for
delaying when maybeCompress can be called, removing the need for the loop I
previously added to calculate the section size, and therefore the race
condition. Furthermore, by delaying, we fix the issues of relocations getting
incorrect symbol values, because they have now all been finalized.
llvm-svn: 321986
We normally want to ignore SHT_NOBITS sections when computing
offsets. The sh_offset of section itself seems to be irrelevant and
- If the section is in the middle of a PT_LOAD, it will make no
difference on the computed offset of the followup section.
- If it is in the end of a PT_LOAD, we want to avoid its alignment
changing the offset of the followup sections.
The issue is if it is at the start of the PT_LOAD. In that case we do
have to align it so that the following sections have congruent address
and offset module the page size. We were not handling this case.
This should fix freebsd kernel link.

The ARM.exidx section contains a table of 8-byte entries with the first
word of each entry an offset to the function it describes and the second
word instructions for unwinding if an exception is thrown from that
function. The SHF_LINK_ORDER processing will order the table in ascending
order of the functions described by the exception table entries. As the
address range of an exception table entry is terminated by the next table
entry, it is possible to merge consecutive table entries that have
identical unwind instructions.
For this implementation we define a table entry to be identical if:
- Both entries are the special EXIDX_CANTUNWIND.
- Both entries have the same inline unwind instructions.
We do not attempt to establish if table entries that are references to
.ARM.extab sections are identical.
This implementation works at a granularity of a single .ARM.exidx
InputSection. If all entries in the InputSection are identical to the
previous table entry we can remove the InputSection. A more sophisticated
but more complex implementation would rewrite InputSection contents so that
duplicates within a .ARM.exidx InputSection can be merged.

We might crash in 'ARMExidxSentinelSection::writeTo()' because it expected
the sentinel entry to be put in the same 'InputSectionDescription' as
the last real entry. This assumption fails if the last output section command
for .ARM.exidx is anything but an input section description, because in this
case 'OutputSection::addSection()' creates a new 'InputSectionDescription'.

The size of an OutputSection is calculated early, to aid handling of compressed
debug sections. However, subsequent to this point, unused synthetic sections are
removed. In the event that an OutputSection, from which such an InputSection is
removed, is still required (e.g. because it has a symbol assignment), and no longer
has any InputSections, dot assignments, or BYTE()-family directives, the size
member is never updated when processing the commands. If the removed InputSection
had a non-zero size (such as a .got.plt section), the section ends up with the
wrong size in the output.
The fix is to reset the OutputSection size prior to processing the linker script
commands relating to that OutputSection. This ensures that the size is correct even
in the above situation.
Additionally, to reduce the risk of developers misusing OutputSection Size and
InputSection OutSecOff, they are set to simply the number of InputSections in an
OutputSection, and the corresponding index respectively. We cannot completely
stop using them, due to SHF_LINK_ORDER sections requiring them.
Compressed debug sections also require the full size. This is now calculated in
maybeCompress for these kinds of sections.

When an output section has no byte commands and has no input sections then it
would be ideal if the type of the section is SHT_NOBITS so that the file can
take up less space. This change sets the default type of of output sections to
SHT_NOBITS instead of SHT_PROGBITS to allow this. This required some minor test
changes (which double as tests for this new behavior) but extend-pt-load.s had
be changed in a non-trivial way. Since it seems to me that the point of the
test is to point out the consequences of how flags are assigned to output
sections that don't have input sections I changed the test to work and still
show how the memsize of the executable segment was changed.

This fixes pr35570.
We were creating these symbols after parsing version scripts, so they
could not be versioned.
We cannot move the version script parsing later because we need it for
lto.
One option is to move both addReservedSymbols and
createSyntheticSections earlier. The disadvantage is that some
sections created by createSyntheticSections replace other input
sections. For example, gdb index replaces .debug_gnu_pubnames, so it
wants to run after gc sections so that it can set S->Live to false.
What this patch does instead is to move just the ElfHeader creation
early.
