This patch renames {starts,ends}with to {starts,ends}_with for
consistency with std::{string,string_view}::{starts,ends}_with in
C++20. Since there are only a handful of occurrences, this patch
skips the deprecation phase and simply renames them.
Note that llvm::support::endianness has been renamed to
llvm::endianness while becoming an enum class as opposed to an
enum. This patch replaces support::{big,little,native} with
llvm::endianness::{big,little,native}.
This adds support for generating Chrome-tracing .json profile traces in
the LLD COFF driver.
Also add the necessary time scopes, so that the profile trace shows in
great detail which tasks are executed.
As an example, this is what we see when linking a Unreal Engine
executable:

When running the LLD test suite on a big-endian host, the
COFF/pdb-framedata.yaml test case currently fails.
As it turns out, this is because code in DebugSHandler::finish
intended to relocate RvaStart entries of FDO records does not
work correctly when compiled for a big-endian host.
Fixed by always reading file data in little-endian mode.

We hit this in Chromium builds where the PDB file was just under 4GB,
but the stream directory was actually too large to be correctly
represented.
llvm-pdbutil would error about this in llvm::msf::validateSuperBlock,
but lld should not write such PDB files in the first place.

This reverts commit 7370ff624d.
(and 47fb8ae2f9).
This commit broke the symbol type in import libraries generated
for mingw autoexported symbols, when the source files were built
with LTO. I'll commit a testcase that showcases this issue after
the revert.
CodeView doesn't have the ability to represent variables
in other ways than as in registers or memory values, but
LLVM very often transforms simple values into constants,
consider this program:
int f () { int i = 123; return i; }
LLVM will transform `i` into a constant value and just
leave behind a llvm.dbg.value, this can't be represented
as a S_LOCAL record in CodeView. But we can represent it
as a S_CONSTANT record.
This patch checks if the location of a debug value is null,
then we will insert a S_CONSTANT record instead of a S_LOCAL
value with the flag "OptimizedAway".
In lld we then output the S_CONSTANT in the right scope, before
they where always inserted in the global stream, now we check
the scope before inserting it.
This has shown to improve debugging for our developers
internally.

These are new debug types that ships with the latest
Windows SDK and would warn and finally fail lld-link.
The symbols seems to be related to Microsoft's XFG
which is their version of CFG. We can't handle any of
this yet, so for now we can just ignore these types
so that lld doesn't fail with a new version of Windows
SDK.

Move all variables at file-scope or function-static-scope into a hosting structure (lld::CommonLinkerContext) that lives at lldMain()-scope. Drivers will inherit from this structure and add their own global state, in the same way as for the existing COFFLinkerContext.

It's not used for anything yet, but we now accept `/pdbpagesize:4096`
(the default behavior) and we give arguably more useful diagnostics
for other values.
It's plumbed through to the MSF layer, so just uncommenting out
the bit in DriverUtils.cpp that rejects args other than 4096 is enough
to try other values.

[LLD] Remove global state in lld/COFF
This patch removes globals from the lldCOFF library, by moving globals
into a context class (COFFLinkingContext) and passing it around wherever
it's needed.

C++23 will make these conversions ambiguous - so fix them to make the
codebase forward-compatible with C++23 (& a follow-up change I've made
will make this ambiguous/invalid even in <C++23 so we don't regress
this & it generally improves the code anyway)
These symbols are long, and they tend to cause the PDB file size to
overflow. They are generally not necessary when debugging problems in
user code.
This change reduces the size of chrome.dll.pdb with coverage from
6,937,108,480 bytes to 4,690,210,816 bytes.

Handle PDB writing errors like any other error in LLD: emit an error and
continue. This allows the linker to print timing data and summary data
after linking, which can be helpful for finding PDB size problems. Also
report how large the file would have been.
Example output:
lld-link: error: Output data is larger than 4 GiB. File size would have been 6,937,108,480
lld-link: error: failed to write PDB file ./chrome.dll.pdb

The S_[GL]PROC32_ID symbol records are supposed to point to function ID
records. If they don't, they are corrupt. The warning message here was
very technical, but a user has encountered it in the wild. Add some more
information and some more testing.
This reverts commit bacf9cf2c5 and
reinstates commit 1a9bd5b813.
Reverting this commit did not appear to make the problem go away, so we
can go ahead and reland it.
/reproduce: now works correctly with:
- /call-graph-ordering-file:
- /def:
- /natvis:
- /order:
- /pdbstream:
I went through all instances of MemoryBuffer::getFile() and made sure
everything that didn't already do so called takeBuffer().
For natvis, that wasn't possible since DebugInfo/PDB wants to take
owernship of the natvis buffer. For that case, I'm manually adding the
tar file entry.
/natvis: and /pdbstream: is slightly awkward, since createResponseFile()
always adds these flags to the response file but createPDB() (which
ultimately adds the files referenced by the flags) is only called if
/debug is also passed. So when using /natvis: without /debug with
/reproduce:, lld won't warn, but when linking using the response
file from the archive, it won't find the natvis file since it's not
in the tar. This isn't a new issue though, and after this patch things
at least work with using /natvis: _with_ debug with /reproduce:.
(Same for /pdbstream:)

This reverts commit 5b7aef6eb4 and relands
6529d7c5a4.
The ASan error was debugged and determined to be the fault of an invalid
object file input in our test suite, which was fixed by my last change.
LLD's project policy is that it assumes input objects are valid, so I
have added a comment about this assumption to the relocation bounds
check.
This is a pretty classic optimization. Instead of processing symbol
records and copying them to temporary storage, do a first pass to
measure how large the module symbol stream will be, and then copy the
data into place in the PDB file. This requires defering relocation until
much later, which accounts for most of the complexity in this patch.
This patch avoids copying the contents of all live .debug$S sections
into heap memory, which is worth about 20% of private memory usage when
making PDBs. However, this is not an unmitigated performance win,
because it can be faster to read dense, temporary, heap data than it is
to iterate symbol records in object file backed memory a second time.
Results on release chrome.dll:
peak mem: 5164.89MB -> 4072.19MB (-1,092.7MB, -21.2%)
wall-j1: 0m30.844s -> 0m32.094s (slightly slower)
wall-j3: 0m20.968s -> 0m20.312s (slightly faster)
wall-j8: 0m19.062s -> 0m17.672s (meaningfully faster)
I gathered similar numbers for a debug, component build of content.dll
in Chrome, and the performance impact of this change was in the noise.
The memory usage reduction was visible and similar.
Because of the new parallelism in the PDB commit phase, more cores makes
the new approach faster. I'm assuming that most C++ developer machines
these days are at least quad core, so I think this is a win.

In https://reviews.llvm.org/D89072 I added static const data members

didn't have a value, which meant the subsection could be empty.

written, the timers are nested, and we are notionally adding types from
