//
// We only fold __TEXT,__text, so this is really "code" folding, and not
// "COMDAT" folding. String and scalar constant literals are deduplicated
// elsewhere.
//
// Summary of segments & sections:
//
// The __TEXT segment is readonly at the MMU. Some sections are already
// deduplicated elsewhere (__TEXT,__cstring & __TEXT,__literal*) and some are
// synthetic and inherently free of duplicates (__TEXT,__stubs &
// __TEXT,__unwind_info). Note that we don't yet run ICF on __TEXT,__const,
// because doing so induces many test failures.
//
// The __LINKEDIT segment is readonly at the MMU, yet entirely synthetic, and
// thus ineligible for ICF.
//
// The __DATA_CONST segment is read/write at the MMU, but is logically const to
// the application after dyld applies fixups to pointer data. We currently
// fold only the __DATA_CONST,__cfstring section.
//
// The __DATA segment is read/write at the MMU, and as application-writeable
// data, none of its sections are eligible for ICF.
//
// Please see the large block comment in lld/ELF/ICF.cpp for an explanation
// of the segregation algorithm.
