Previously applying 1 million relocations took about 2 seconds on my
Xeon 2.4GHz 8 core workstation. After this patch, it takes about 300
milliseconds. As a result, time to link chrome.dll becomes 23 seconds
to 21 seconds.

The last use of layout-after edge for PE/COFF was removed in r231290.
Now layout-after edges do nothing. We can stop adding them to the graph.
No functionality change intended.

Merge::mergeByLargestSection is half-baked since it's defined
in terms of section size, there's no way to get the section size
of an atom.
Currently we work around the issue by traversing the layout edges
to both directions and calculate the sum of all atoms reachable.
I wrote that code but I knew it's hacky. It's even not guaranteed
to work. If you add layout edges before the core linking, it
miscalculates a size.
Also it's of course slow. It's basically a linked list traversal.
In this patch I added DefinedAtom::sectionSize so that we can use
that for mergeByLargestSection. I'm not very happy to add a new
field to DefinedAtom base class, but I think it's legitimate since
mergeByLargestSection is defined for section size, and the section
size is currently just missing.

File objects are not really const in the resolver. We set ordinals to
them and call beforeLink hooks. Also, File's member functions marked
as const are not really const. ArchiveFile never returns the same
member file twice, so it remembers files returned before. find() has
side effects.
In order to deal with the inconsistencies, we sprinkled const_casts
and marked member varaibles as mutable.
This patch removes const from there to reflect the reality.

std::promise and std::future in old version of libstdc++ are buggy.
I think that's the reason why LLD tests were flaky on Ubuntu 13
buildbots until we disabled file preloading.
In this patch, I implemented very simple future and used that in
FileArchive. Compared to std::promise and std::future, it lacks
many features, but should serve our purpose.

Yet another chapter in the story. We're getting there, finally.
Note for the future: the tests for relocation have a lot of duplication
and probably can be unified in a single file. Let's reevaluate this once
the support will be complete (hopefully, soon).

"virtual" was present at a wrong place. FileArchive is a subclass of
ArchiveLibraryFile, and a FileArchive can be deleted through a
pointer of ArchiveLibraryFile. We want to make the destructor of the
base class virtual.

This reverts commit r230086. I added a lock to guard FileCOFF::doParse(),
which killed parallel file parsing. Now the buildbots got back to green,
I believe the threading issue was resolved, so it's time to remove the
guard to see if it works with the buildbots.
llvm-svn: 230886
In doParse, we shouldn't do anything that has side effects. That function may be
called speculatively and possibly in parallel.
We called WinLinkDriver::parse from doParse to parse a command line in a .drectve
section. The parse function updates a linking context object, so it has many side
effects. It was not safe to call that function from doParse. beforeLink is a
function for a File object to do something that has side effects. Moving a call
of WinLinkDriver::parse to there.

If no initial live symbols are set up, and deadStrip() == true,
the Resolver ends up reclaiming all the symbols that aren't absolute. This is wrong.
This patch fixes the issue by setting entrySymbolName() as live, and this allows
us to self-host lld when --gc-sections is enabled. There are still quite a few problems
with --gc-sections (test failures), so the option can't be enabled by default.

This reverts commit r230732.
sectionSize() in lib/Core/SymbolTable.cpp still depends on the layout-
after edges, so we couldn't remove them yet.
llvm-svn: 230734
Previously we needed to create atoms as a doubly-linked link, but it's
no longer needed. Also we don't use layout-after edges in PE/COFF.
Creating such edges is just waste.
llvm-svn: 230732
Nothing wrong with reinterpret_cast<llvm::support::ulittle32_t *>(loc),
but that's redundant and not great from readability point of view.
The new functions are wrappers for that kind of reinterpet_casts.
Surprisingly or unsurprisingly, there was no use of big endian read
and write. {read,write}{16,32,64}be have no user. But I think they
still worth to be there in the header for completeness.

Previously we have a string -> string map to keep the weak alias
symbol mapping. Naturally we can't define more than one weak alias
with that data structure.
This patch is to allow multiple aliases for the same symbol by
changing the map type to string -> set of string map.
llvm-svn: 230702
In LLD's model, symbol is a property of the node (atom) and not a property of
edge (reference). Prior to this patch, we stored the symbol in the reference.
From post-commit comments, it seemed better to create a map from the reference
to the symbol instead and use this mapping wherever desired.
Address comments from Ruiu/Simon Atanasyan.

SHF_GROUP: Group Member Sections
----------------------------------
A section which is part of a group, and is to be retained or discarded with the
group as a whole, is identified by a new section header attribute: SHF_GROUP
This section is a member (perhaps the only one) of a group of sections, and the
linker should retain or discard all or none of the members. This section must be
referenced in a SHT_GROUP section. This attribute flag may be set in any section
header, and no other modification or indication is made in the grouped sections.
All additional information is contained in the associated SHT_GROUP section.
SHT_GROUP: Section Group Definition
-------------------------------------
Represents a group section.
The section group's sh_link field identifies a symbol table section, and its
sh_info field the index of a symbol in that section. The name of that symbol is
treated as the identifier of the section group.

Added a lot of extensive tests, that tests functionality.
llvm-svn: 230195
When the GNU linker sees two input sections with the same name, and the name
starts with ".gnu.linkonce.", the linker will only keep one copy and discard the
other. Any section whose name starts with “.gnu.linkonce.” is a COMDAT section.
Some architectures like Hexagon use this section to store floating point constants,
that need be deduped.
This patch adds gnu.linkonce functionality to the ELFReader.

There is code(added by me) in the YAMLReader which isn't correct when it handles references
for section groups. The test case was also checking for wrong outputs.
This fixes the bug and the testcase so that they check for proper outputs.
