The previous implementation of UnwindInfoSection materialized
all the compact unwind entries & applied their relocations, then parsed
the resulting data to generate the final unwind info. This design had
some unfortunate conseqeuences: since relocations can only be applied
after their referents have had addresses assigned, operations that need
to happen before address assignment must contort themselves. (See
{D113582} and observe how this diff greatly simplifies it.)
Moreover, it made synthesizing new compact unwind entries awkward.
Handling PR50956 will require us to do this synthesis, and is the main
motivation behind this diff.
Previously, instead of generating a new CompactUnwindEntry directly, we
would have had to generate a ConcatInputSection with a number of
`Reloc`s that would then get "flattened" into a CompactUnwindEntry.
This diff introduces an internal representation of `CompactUnwindEntry`
(the former `CompactUnwindEntry` has been renamed to
`CompactUnwindLayout`). The new CompactUnwindEntry stores references to
its personality symbol and LSDA section directly, without the use of
`Reloc` structs.
In addition to being easier to work with, this diff also allows us to
handle unwind info whose personality symbols are located in sections
placed after the `__unwind_info`.

Earlier in LLD's evolution, I tried to create the illusion that
subsections were indistinguishable from "top-level" sections. Thus, even
though the subsections shared many common field values, I hid those
common values away in a private Shared struct (see D105305). More
recently, however, @gkm added a public `Section` struct in D113241 that
served as an explicit way to store values that are common to an entire
set of subsections (aka InputSections). Now that we have another "common
value" struct, `Shared` has been rendered redundant. All its fields can
be moved into `Section` instead, and the pointer to `Shared` can be replaced
with a pointer to `Section`.
This `Section` pointer also has the advantage of letting us inspect other
subsections easily, simplifying the implementation of {D118798}.
P.S. I do think that having both `Section` and `InputSection` makes for
a slightly confusing naming scheme. I considered renaming `InputSection`
to `Subsection`, but that would break the symmetry with `OutputSection`.
It would also make us deviate from LLD-ELF's naming scheme.

In ld.lld, when an ObjFile/BitcodeFile is read in --start-lib state, the file is
given archive semantics. --end-lib closes the previous --start-lib. A build
system can use this feature as an alternative to archives. This patch ports
the feature to lld-macho.
--start-lib and --end-lib are positional, unlike usual ld64 options.
I think the slight drawback does not matter as (a) reusing option names
make build systems convenient (b) `--start-lib a.o b.o --end-lib` conveys more
information than an alternative design: `-objlib a.o -objlib b.o` because
--start-lib makes it clear which objects are in the same conceptual archive.
This provides flexibility (c) `-objlib`/`-filelist` interaction may be weird.

Dedup'ing unwind info is tricky because each CUE contains a different
function address, if ICF operated naively and compared the entire
contents of each CUE, entries with identical unwind info but belonging

performing ICF. We rely on `relocateCompactUnwind()` to correctly handle
these truncated input sections.

Unsurprisingly, ICF is now a lot slower, likely due to the much larger

In one of our links lld was reading 760k files, but the unique number of
files was only 1500. This takes that link from 30 seconds to 8.
This seems like a heavy hammer, especially since some things don't need
to be cached, like the filelist arguments and the passed static
archives (the latter is already cached as a one off), but it seems ld64
does something similar here to short circuit these duplicate reads:
82e429e186/src/ld/InputFiles.cpp (L644-L665)
Of the types of files being read for our iOS app, the biggest problem
was constantly re-reading small tbd files:
```
% wc -l /tmp/read.txt
761414 /tmp/read.txt
% cat /tmp/read.txt | sort -u | wc -l
1503
% cat /tmp/read.txt | grep "\.a$" | wc -l
43721
% cat /tmp/read.txt | grep "\.tbd$" | wc -l
717656
```
We could likely hoist this logic up to not cache at this level, but it
would be a more invasive change to make sure all callers that needed it
cached the results.
I could see this being an issue with OOMs, and I'm not a linker expert so
maybe there's another way we should solve this problem? Feedback welcome!

Now that the functions point to the compact unwind entries, instead of
the other way around, we need to perform the "invalid reference" check
in a different place.
This change was originally part of the stacked diff D109946, but should
have been included as part of D109945.
Compact unwind entries (CUEs) contain pointers to their respective
function symbols. However, during the link process, it's far more useful
to have pointers from the function symbol to the CUE than vice versa.
This diff adds that pointer in the form of `Defined::compactUnwind`.
In particular, when doing dead-stripping, we want to mark CUEs live when
their function symbol is live; and when doing ICF, we want to dedup
sections iff the symbols in that section have identical CUEs. In both
cases, we want to be able to locate the symbols within a given section,
as well as locate the CUEs belonging to those symbols. So this diff also
adds `InputSection::symbols`.
The ultimate goal of this refactor is to have ICF support dedup'ing
functions with unwind info, but that will be handled in subsequent
diffs. This diff focuses on simplifying `-dead_strip` --
`findFunctionsWithUnwindInfo` is no longer necessary, and
`Defined::isLive()` is now a lot simpler. Moreover, UnwindInfoSection no
longer has to check for dead CUEs -- we simply avoid adding them in the
first place.
Additionally, we now support stripping of dead LSDAs, which follows
quite naturally since `markLive()` can now reach them via the CUEs.

The previous logic was duplicated between symbol-initiated
archive loads versus flag-initiated loads (i.e. `-force_load` and
`-ObjC`). This resulted in code duplication as well as redundant work --
we would create Archive instances twice whenever we had one of those
flags; once in `getArchiveMembers` and again when we constructed the
ArchiveFile.
This was motivated by an upcoming diff where we load archive members
containing ObjC-related symbols before loading those containing
ObjC-related sections, as well as before performing symbol resolution.
Without this refactor, it would be difficult to do that while avoiding
loading the same archive member twice.
