Relocations are the last thing that we wore storing a raw section
pointer to and parsing on demand.
With this patch we parse it only once and store a pointer to the
actual data.
The patch also changes where we store it. It is now in
InputSectionBase. Not all sections have relocations, but most do and
this simplifies the logic. It also means that we now only support one
relocation section per section. Given that that constraint is
maintained even with -r with gold bfd and lld, I think it is OK.

Patch allows to pass a symbols file to linker.
LLD will map symbols to sections and sort sections
in output according to symbol ordering file.
That can help to reduce the startup time and/or
amount of pagefaults during startup.
Also, interesting benchmark result was produced by Rafael Espíndola.
After applying the symbols file for clang he timed compiling
X86MCTargetDesc.ii to an object file.
The page faults went from just
56,988 to 56,946 since most faults are not in the binary.
Running time went from 4.403053515 to 4.178112244.
The speedup seems to be because of better cache
locality.

Previously, we have both input and output sections for .reginfo and
.MIPS.options. Now for each such sections we have one synthetic input
sections: MipsReginfoSection and MipsOptionsSection respectively.
Both sections are handled as regular sections until the control reaches
Writer. Writer then aggregates all sections whose type is SHT_MIPS_REGINFO
or SHT_MIPS_OPTIONS to create a single synthesized input section. In that
moment Writer also save GP0 value to the MipsGp0 field of the corresponding
ObjectFile. This value required for R_MIPS_GPREL16 and R_MIPS_GPREL32
relocations calculation.

In short the patch introduces support for linking object file conform
MIPS N32 ABI [1]. This ABI is similar to N64 ABI but uses 32-bit
pointer size.
The most non-trivial requirement of this ABI is one more relocation
packing format. N64 ABI puts multiple relocation type into the single
relocation record. The N32 ABI uses series of successive relocations
with the same offset for this purpose. In this patch, new function
`mergeMipsN32RelTypes` handle this case and "convert" N32 relocation to
the N64 relocation so the rest of the code keep unchanged.
For now, linker does not support series of relocations applied to sections
without SHF_ALLOC bit. Probably later I will add the support or insert
some sort of assert into the `relocateNonAlloc` routine to catch this
case.

We were fairly inconsistent as to what information should be accessed
with getSectionHdr and what information (like alignment) was stored
elsewhere.
Now all section info has a dedicated getter. The code is also a bit

Some MIPS relocations used to access GOT entries are able to manipulate
16-bit index. The other ones like R_MIPS_CALL_HI16/LO16 can handle
32-bit indexes. 16-bit relocations are generated by default. The 32-bit
relocations are generated by -mxgot flag passed to compiler. Usually
these relocation are not mixed in the same code but files like crt*.o
contain 16-bit relocations so even if all "user's" code compiled with
-mxgot flag a few 16-bit relocations might come to the linking phase.
Now LLD does not differentiate local GOT entries accessed via a 16-bit
and 32-bit indexes. That might lead to relocation's overflow if 16-bit
entries are allocated to far from the beginning of the GOT.
The patch introduces new "part" of MIPS GOT dedicated to the local GOT
entries accessed by 32-bit relocations. That allows to put local GOT
entries accessed via a 16-bit index first and escape relocation's overflow.

The R_ARM_PREL31 and R_ARM_NONE relocations should not be faulted in
shared libraries. In the case of R_ARM_NONE, we have moved the TLS
relaxation hint instruction to R_TLSDESC_CALL so that R_HINT can be used
without side-effects. In the case of R_ARM_PREL31 we permit it to be used
against PLT entries as the personality routines are imported when used in
shared libraries.

The ARM TLS relocations are placed on literal data and not the
code-sequence, it is therefore not possible to implement the relaxTls*
functions. This change updates handleMipsTlsRelocation() to
handleNoRelaxTlsRelocation() and incorporates ARM as well as Mips.
The ARM support in handleNoRelaxTlsRelocation() currently needs to ouput
the module index dynamic relocation in all cases as it is relying on the
dynamic linker to set the module index in the got.

This patch allows static linking of TLS code. To do that it fixes
GOT entries initialization.
If TLS-related GOT entry created for a preemptible symbol i.e. has
a corresponding dynamic relocation, leave the entry initialized by zero.
Write down adjusted TLS symbol's values otherwise. For the adjustments
calculation use offsets for thread-local storage.

We should always include symbol name when reporting relocations
error to simplify debugging of these issues. Without symbol names
users have to manually investigate which of the libraries contain
invalid relocations which can be cumbersome when linking multiple

Had 3 testcases failtures:
ELF/eh-frame-merge.s
ELF/gc-sections-eh.s
ELF/gc-sections-lsda.s
Problem was that OutputOff is size_t, which is 32
for this configuration and next
condition never was checked correctly:
if (PieceI->OutputOff == (uintX_t)-1)
continue;
llvm-svn: 276296
We no longer need it for relocations in .eh_frame.
The only relocations that point to .eh_frame are the ones trying to
find the output .eh_frame.
This actually fixes a bug in the symbol value code. It was not
handling -1 as an indicator for a piece not being included in the
output.
llvm-svn: 276175
We will need to do something like this to support range extension
thunks since that process is iterative.
Doing this also has the advantage that when doing the regular
relocation scan the offset in the output section is known and we can
just store that. This reduces the number of times we have to run
getOffset and I think will allow a more specialized .eh_frame
representation.
By itself this is already a performance win.

Previously, each subclass of SymbolBody had a pointer to a source
file from which it was created. So, there was no single way to get
a source file for a symbol. We had getSourceFile<ELFT>(), but the
function was a bit inconvenient as it's a template.
This patch makes SymbolBody have a pointer to a source file.
If a symbol is not created from a file, the pointer has a nullptr.

Generalise the Mips LA25 Thunk code and implement ARM and Thumb
interworking Thunks.
- Introduce a new module Thunks.cpp to store the Target Specific Thunk
implementations.
- DefinedRegular and Shared have a ThunkData field to record Thunk.
- A Target can have more than one type of Thunk.
- Support PC-relative calls to Thunks.
- Support Thunks to PLT entries.
- Existing Mips LA25 Thunk code integrated.
- Support for ARMv7A interworking Thunks.
Limitations:
- Only one Thunk per SymbolBody, this is sufficient for all currently
implemented Thunks.
- ARM thunks assume presence of V6T2 MOVT and MOVW instructions.

The patch adds one more partition to the MIPS GOT. This time it is for
TLS related GOT entries. Such entries are located after 'local' and 'global'
ones. We cannot get a final offset for these entries at the time of
creation because we do not know size of 'local' and 'global' partitions.
So we have to adjust the offset later using `getMipsTlsOffset()` method.
All MIPS TLS relocations which need GOT entries operates MIPS style GOT
offset - 'offset from the GOT's beginning' - MipsGPOffset constant. That
is why I add new types of relocation expressions.
One more difference from othe ABIs is that the MIPS ABI does not support
any TLS relocation relaxations. I decided to make a separate function
`handleMipsTlsRelocation` and put MIPS TLS relocation handling code
there. It is similar to `handleTlsRelocation` routine and duplicates its
code. But it allows to make the code cleaner and prevent pollution of
the `handleTlsRelocation` by MIPS 'if' statements.

Peter Smith found while trying to support thunk creation for ARM that
LLD sometimes creates broken thunks for MIPS. The cause of the bug is
that we assign file offsets to input sections too early. We need to
create all sections and then assign section offsets because appending
thunks changes file offsets for all following sections.
This patch separates the pass to assign file offsets from thunk
creation pass. This effectively reverts r265673.
