The implementation of AMD64 relocations was imcomplete
and wrong. On AMD64, we of course have to use AMD64
relocations instead of i386 ones. This patch fixes the
issue.
LLD is now able to link hello64.obj (created from
hello64.asm) against user32.lib and kernel32.lib to
create a Win64 binary.

On Windows there are four "main" functions -- main, wmain, WinMain,
or wWinMain. Their parameter types are diffferent. The standard
library provides four different entry functions (i.e.
{w,}{WinMain,main}CRTStartup) for them. You need to use the right
entry routine for your "main" function.
If you give an /entry option, the specified name is used
unconditionally.
Otherwise, the linker needs to select the right one based on
user-supplied entry point function. This can be done after the
linker reads all the input files.
This patch moves the code to determine the entry point function
from the driver to a virtual input file. It also implements the
correct logic for the entry point function selection.

The code to manage resolvable symbols is now separated from
ExportedSymbolRenameFile so that other class can reuse it.
I'm planning to use it to find the entry function symbol
based on resolvable symbols.
llvm-svn: 213322
addResolvableSymbols() queues input files, and readAllSymbols() reads
from them. In practice it's currently safe because they are called from
a single thread. But it's not guaranteed.
Also, acquiring the same mutex is needed not to see inconsistent memory
contents that is allowed in the C++ memory model.
llvm-svn: 209254
ExportedSymbolRenameFile is not always used. In most cases we don't
need to read given files at all. So lazy load would help. This doesn't
change the meaining of the program.

As written in the comment in this patch, symbol names specified with
/export option is resolved in a special way; for /export:foo, linker
finds a foo@<number> symbol if such symbols exists.
On Windows, a function in stdcall calling convention is mangled with
a leading underscore and following "@" and numbers. This name
mangling is kind of automatic, so you can sometimes omit _ and @number
when specifying a symbol. /export option is that case.
Previously, if a file in an archive file foo.lib provides a symbol
_fn@8, and /export:fn is specified, LLD failed to resolve the symbol.
It only tried to find _fn, and failed to find _fn@8. With this patch,
_fn@8 will be searched on the second iteration.

Implicit symbol for local use implemented in r207141 was not fully
compatible with MSVC link.exe. In r207141, I implemented the feature
in such way that implicit symbols are defined only when they are
exported with /EXPORT option.
After that I found that implicit symbols are defined not only for
dllexported symbols but for all defined symbols. Actually _imp_
implicit symbols have no relationship with the dllexport feature. You
could add _imp_ to any symbol to get a pointer to the symbol, whether
the symbol is dllexported or not. It looks pretty weird to me but
that's what we want if link.exe behaves that way.
Here is a bit about the implementation: Creating all implicit symbols
beforehand is going to be a huge waste of resource. This feature is
rarely used, and MSVC link.exe even prints out a warning message when
it finds this feature is being used. So we create implicit symbols
on demand. There is an archive file that creates implicit symbols when
they are needed.
llvm-svn: 207476
This patch is to fix a compatibility issue with MSVC link.exe as to
use of dllexported symbols inside DLL.
A DLL exports two symbols for a function. One is non-decorated one,
and the other is with __imp_ prefix. The former is a function that
you can directly call, and the latter is a pointer to the function.
These dllexported symbols are created by linker for programs that
link against the DLL. So, I naturally believed that __imp_ symbols
become available when you once create a DLL and link against it, but
they don't exist until then. And that's not true.
MSVC link.exe is smart enough to allow users to use __imp_ symbols
locally. That is, if a symbol is specified with /export option, it
implicitly creates a new symbol with __imp_ prefix as a pointer to
the exported symbol. This feature allows the following program to
be linked and run, although _imp__hello is not defined in this code.
#include <stdio.h>
__declspec(dllexport)
void hello(void) { printf("Hello\n"); }
extern void (*_imp__hello)(void);
int main() {
_imp__hello();
return 0;
}
MSVC link.exe prints out the following warning when linking it.
LNK4217: locally defined symbol _hello imported in function _main
Using __imp_ symbols locally is I think not a good coding style. One
should just take an address using "&" operator rather than appending
__imp_ prefix. However, there are programs in the wild that depends
on this link.exe's behavior, so we need this feature.

The main changes are in:
include/lld/Core/Reference.h
include/lld/ReaderWriter/Reader.h
Everything else is details to support the main change.
1) Registration based Readers
Previously, lld had a tangled interdependency with all the Readers. It would
have been impossible to make a streamlined linker (say for a JIT) which
just supported one file format and one architecture (no yaml, no archives, etc).
The old model also required a LinkingContext to read an object file, which
would have made .o inspection tools awkward.
The new model is that there is a global Registry object. You programmatically
register the Readers you want with the registry object. Whenever you need to
read/parse a file, you ask the registry to do it, and the registry tries each
registered reader.
For ease of use with the existing lld code base, there is one Registry
object inside the LinkingContext object.
2) Changing kind value to be a tuple
Beside Readers, the registry also keeps track of the mapping for Reference
Kind values to and from strings. Along with that, this patch also fixes
an ambiguity with the previous Reference::Kind values. The problem was that
we wanted to reuse existing relocation type values as Reference::Kind values.
But then how can the YAML write know how to convert a value to a string? The
fix is to change the 32-bit Reference::Kind into a tuple with an 8-bit namespace
(e.g. ELF, COFFF, etc), an 8-bit architecture (e.g. x86_64, PowerPC, etc), and
a 16-bit value. This tuple system allows conversion to and from strings with
no ambiguities.

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
__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

Mangling scheme varies on platform, and prepending an underscore is valid only
on 32-bit x86. Added a method to mangle name to PECOFFLinkingContext and use
it to avoid hard coding mangled names.
llvm-svn: 190585
This adds an API to the LinkingContext for flavors to add Internal files
containing atoms that need to appear in the YAML output as well, when -emit-yaml
switch is used.
Flavors can add more internal files for other options that are needed.
llvm-svn: 189718
__ImageBase is a symbol having 4 byte integer equal to the image base address
of the resultant executable. The linker is expected to create the symbol as if
it were read from a file.
In order to emit the symbol contents only when the symbol is actually
referenced, we created a pseudo library file to wrap the linker generated
symbol. The library file member is emitted to the output only when the member
is actually referenced, which is suitable for our purpose.
