Previously, each subclass of SymbolBody had a pointer to a source
file from which it was created. So, there was no single way to get
a source file for a symbol. We had getSourceFile<ELFT>(), but the
function was a bit inconvenient as it's a template.
This patch makes SymbolBody have a pointer to a source file.
If a symbol is not created from a file, the pointer has a nullptr.

Previously, it checked for the EC parameter and set HasError
only when there was an error. But in most places we called
error only when error had occurred, so this behavior was confusing.

Minor cleanup.
Currently it looks wierd that having method addPredefinedSections()
we still add 2 sections outside it without real reasons.
Patch fixes that.

Creating sections on linkerscript side requires some methods
that can be reused if are exported from writer.
Patch implements that change.

Since linkerscript should create sections by itself
(if SECTIONS command is present),
then we might want to reuse the OutputSectionFactory (D19976 already do that now),
so this patch moves it out from writer cpp file for that purpose.

Option has next description (http://linux.die.net/man/1/ld):
"--unresolved-symbols=method
Determine how to handle unresolved symbols. There are four possible values for method
according to documentation:
ignore-all: Do not report any unresolved symbols.
report-all: Report all unresolved symbols. This is the default.
ignore-in-object-files: Report unresolved symbols that are contained in shared libraries, but ignore them if they come from regular object files.
ignore-in-shared-libs: Report unresolved symbols that come from regular object files, but ignore them if they come from shared libraries."
Since report-all is default and we traditionally do not report about undefined symbols in lld,
report-all does not report about undefines from DSO.
ignore-in-object-files also does not do that. Handling of that option differs from what gnu linkers do.
Option works in next way in lld:
ignore-all: Do not report any unresolved symbols.
report-all: Report all unresolved symbols except symbols from DSOs. This is the default.
ignore-in-object-files: The same as ignore-all.
gnore-in-shared-libs: The same as report-all.
This is PR24524.

Previously, we initialized Config->EKind and Config->EMachine when
we instantiate ELF objects. That was not an ideal location to do that
because the logic was buried too deep inside a concrete logic.
This patch moves the code to the driver so that the initialization
becomes explicit.

Peter Smith found while trying to support thunk creation for ARM that
LLD sometimes creates broken thunks for MIPS. The cause of the bug is
that we assign file offsets to input sections too early. We need to
create all sections and then assign section offsets because appending
thunks changes file offsets for all following sections.
This patch separates the pass to assign file offsets from thunk
creation pass. This effectively reverts r265673.

With fix:
-soname flag was not set in testcase. Hash calculated for base def was different on local

Initial commit message:
Patch implements basic support of versioned symbols.
There is no wildcards patterns matching except local: *;
There is no support for hierarchies.
There is no support for symbols overrides (@ vs @@ not handled).
This patch allows programs that using simple scripts to link and run.

I think it is me who named these variables, but I always find that
they are slightly confusing because align is a verb.
Adding four letters is worth it.

We can now use this to decide whether to emit a verneed during the final
pass over the symbols. We were previously wrongly creating a verneed entry
in the case where all references to a DSO's symbols were weak.
In a future change we may also want to use the used bit to control whether
shared symbols are preemptible and appear in the dynsym. This seems a little
tricky to do at the moment because isNeeded() is templated.
The only other functional change here is that we emit a DT_NEEDED for DSOs
whose symbols are all preempted by objects that appear later in the link. But
that doesn't seem too important to me.

MergedInputSection::getOffset is the busiest function in LLD if string
merging is enabled and input files have lots of mergeable sections.
It is usually the case when creating executable with debug info,
so it is pretty common.
The reason why it is slow is because it has to do faily complex
computations. For non-mergeable sections, section contents are
contiguous in output, so in order to compute an output offset,
we only have to add the output section's base address to an input
offset. But for mergeable strings, section contents are split for
merging, so they are not contigous. We've got to do some lookups.
We used to do binary search on the list of section pieces.
It is slow because I think it's hostile to branch prediction.
This patch replaces it with hash table lookup. Seems it's working
pretty well. Below is "perf stat -r10" output when linking clang
with debug info. In this case this patch speeds up about 4%.

Previously, we created a .bss section when needed. We had a function
ensureBss() for that purpose. Turned out that was error-prone
because it was easy to forget to call that function before accessing
the .bss section.
This patch always make the BSS section. The section is added to the
output when it's not empty.

Copy relocations are relocations to copy data from DSOs to
executable's .bss segment at runtime. It doesn't make sense to
create such relocations for zero-sized symbols.
GNU linkers don't agree with each other. ld rejects such
relocation/symbol pair. gold don't reject that but do not create
copy relocations as well. I took the former approach because
I don't think the latter is what user wants.

We were using std::pair to represents pieces of splittable section
contents. It hurt readability because "first" and "second" are not
meaningful. This patch give them names.
One more thing is that piecewise liveness information is stored to
the second element of the pair as a special value of output section
offset. It was confusing, so I defiend a new bit, "Live", in the
new struct.

This makes it explicit that each R_RELAX_TLS_* is equivalent to some
other expression.
With this I think we are at a sweet spot for how much is done in
Target.cpp. I did experiment with moving *all* the value math out of it.
It has the advantage that we know the final value in target independent
code, but it gets quite verbose.

Lazy binding is quite important for use case like a shared build of
llvm. Also, if someone wants to disable it, it is better done in the
compiler (disable plt generation).
The only reason to keep it is to make it easier to add a new
architecture. But it doesn't really help much as it is possible to start
with non lazy relocation and plt code but still let the generic part
create a dedicated .got.plt and .rela.plt.
