The linker will normally set the LMA equal to the VMA.
You can change that by using the AT keyword.
The expression lma that follows the AT keyword specifies
the load address of the section.
Patch implements this keyword.

This add support for HIDDEN command which can be used to define
a symbol that will be hidden and won't be exported.

Previously we searched output section by name to assign VA. That did not
work in the case when multiple output sections with different constraints were defined in script.
Testcase shows the possible issue scenario, patch fixes the issue.

After 278461 "Create only one section for a name in LinkerScript."
this loop is excessive.
Patch also reorders code slightly to use early return.

Previously filtering that was used worked incorrectly.
For example for next script it would just remove both sections completely:
SECTIONS {
. = 0x1000;
.aaa : ONLY_IF_RW { *(.aaa.*) }
. = 0x2000;
.aaa : ONLY_IF_RO { *(.aaa.*) }
}
Patch fixes above issues and adds testcase showing the issue. Testcase is a subset of
FreeBSD script which has:
.eh_frame : ONLY_IF_RO { KEEP (*(.eh_frame)) }
...
.eh_frame : ONLY_IF_RW { KEEP (*(.eh_frame)) }

Previously, we were setting LayoutInputSection's OutputSection member
in createSections. Because when we create LayoutInputSectinos, we
don't know the output section for them, so we backfilled the member
in the function. This patch moves the code to backfill it to assignOffsets.
llvm-svn: 278464
Previously, we created two or more output sections if there are
input sections with the same name but with different attributes.
That is a wrong behavior. This patch fixes the issue.
One thing we need to do is to merge output section attributes.
Currently, we create an output section based on the first input
section's attributes. This may make a wrong output section
attributes. What we need to do is to bitwise-OR attributes.
We'll do it in a follow-up patch.
llvm-svn: 278461
The reason why we had to assign offsets only to sections that
don't contain layout sections were unclear. It turned out that
we can live without it.

SIZEOF_HEADERS - Return the size in bytes of the output file’s headers.
It is is a feature used in FreeBsd script, for example.
There is a discussion on PR28688 page about it.

Summary:
The comparator function to compare input sections as instructed by
SORT command was a bit too complicated because it needed to handle
four different cases. This patch split it into two function calls.
This patch also simplifies the parser.

ASSERT(exp, message)
Ensure that exp is non-zero. If it is zero, then exit the linker with an error
code, and print message.
ASSERT is useful and was seen in few projects in the wild.

According to spec:
"SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT will sort sections into descending order by
alignment before placing them in the output file"
Previously they were sorted into ascending order.

With the previous change, it is now obvious that readProvide in
this context appended new commands to a wrong command list.
It was mistakenly adding new commands to the top level.
Thus, all commands inside output section descriptions were
interpreted as they were written on top level.
PROVIDE command naturally requires symbol assignment support
in the output section description. We don't have that one yet.
I removed the implementation because there's no way to fix it now.
We can resurrect the test once we support the symbol assignment
(with a modification to detect errors that we failed to find as
described.)
llvm-svn: 277687
Previously, many read* functions created new command objects and
add them directly to the top-level data structure. This is not
work for some commands because some commands, such as the assignment,
can appear inside and outside of the output section description.
This patch is to not append objects to the top-level data structure.
Callers are now responsible to do that.

Previously, a decimal filler expression is interpreted as a byte value.
Gold on the other hand use it as a 32-bit big-endian value.
This patch fixes the compatibility issue.

Previously we supported only sorting by name.
When there are nested section sorting commands in linker script, there can be at most 1
level of nesting for section sorting commands.
SORT_BY_NAME (SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (wildcard section pattern)). It will sort the input
sections by name first, then by alignment if 2 sections have the same name.
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (SORT_BY_NAME (wildcard section pattern)). It will sort the input
sections by alignment first, then by name if 2 sections have the same alignment.
SORT_BY_NAME (SORT_BY_NAME (wildcard section pattern)) is treated the same as SORT_
BY_NAME (wildcard section pattern).
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (wildcard section pattern)) is treated the
same as SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (wildcard section pattern).
All other nested section sorting commands are invalid.
Patch implements that all above.
