Summary:
COMDAT_SELECT_SAME_SIZE is a COMDAT type that I presume exist only in COFF.
The semantics of the type is that linker should merge such COMDAT sections if
their sizes are the same. Otherwise it's an error.

Just like x86 exception handler table, the table for x64 needs to be sorted
so that runtime can binary search on it. Unlike x86, the table entry for x64
has multiple fields, and they need to be sorted according to its BeginAddress
field. This patch also fixes a bug in relocations.
llvm-svn: 202874
It looks like the contents of the table need to be sorted according to its
value, so that the runtime can find the entry by binary search. I'm not 100%
sure if we really have to do that, but at least I can say it's safe to do
because the contents of .sxdata is just a list of exception handlers' RVAs.

If all input files are compatible with Structured Exception Handling, linker
is supposed to create an exectuable with a table for SEH handlers. The table
consists of exception handlers entry point addresses.
The basic idea of SEH in x86 Microsoft ABI is to list all valid entry points
of exception handlers in an read-only memory, so that an attacker cannot
override the addresses in it. In x86 ABI, data for exception handling is mostly
on stack, so it's volnerable to stack overflow attack. In order to protect
against it, Windows runtime uses the table to check a return address, to
ensure that the address is really an valid entry point for an exception handler.
Compiler emits a list of exception handler functions to .sxdata section. It
also emits a marker symbol "@feat.00" to indicate that the object is compatible
with SEH. SEH is a relatively new feature for COFF, and mixing SEH-compatible
and SEH-incompatible objects will result in an invalid executable, so is the
marker.
If all input files are compatible with SEH, LLD emits a SEH table. SEH table
needs to be pointed by Load Configuration strucutre, so when emitting a SEH
table LLD emits it too. The address of a Load Configuration will be stored to
the file header.

target_link_libraries(INTERFACE) doesn't bring inter-target dependencies in add_library,
although final targets have dependencies to whole dependent libraries.
It makes most libraries can be built in parallel.
target_link_libraries(PRIVATE) is used to shaared library.
Each dependent library is linked to the target.so, and its user will not see its grandchildren.
For example,
- libclang.so has sufficient libclang*.a(s).
- c-index-test requires just only libclang.so.
FIXME: lld is tweaked minimally. Adding INTERFACE in each library would be better thing.

This restores the debug output to how it was before r197727 broke it. This
went undetected because the corresponding test was never run due to broken
feature detection.

The sections .rela/.rel.(*) have a alignment of 2 in the final image created by
the linker. This needs to be properly set to the right alignment depending on
the architecture(32/64bits).

The comments in the files that described the file name as part of each file
header ran over 80 columns, which clang-format split over multiple lines.
This commit fixes to make them appear properly.

ELFFile would be a class that rest of the targets would derive from.
To keep the implementation clean, separate the implementation from
rest of the Header file.

Add new virtual virtual function `isRelaOutputFormat` to the
`ELFLinkingContext` class. Call this function everywhere we need to
select a relocation table format.

method returns the DefaultLayout::_segments field. The type of this field is
a vector of Segment<ELFT>* pointers. This type cannot be implicitly casted to
the range<ChunkIter>.

The main goal of this patch is to allow "mach-o encoded as yaml" and "native
encoded as yaml" documents to be intermixed. They are distinguished via
yaml tags at the start of the document. This will enable all mach-o test cases
to be written using yaml instead of checking in object files.
The Registry was extend to allow yaml tag handlers to be registered. The
mach-o Reader adds a yaml tag handler for the tag "!mach-o".
Additionally, this patch fixes some buffer ownership issues. When parsing
mach-o binaries, the mach-o atoms can have pointers back into the memory
mapped .o file. But with yaml encoded mach-o, name and content are ephemeral,
so a copyRefs parameter was added to cause the mach-o atoms to make their
own copy.

Currently LLD always print a warning message if the same symbol is specified
more than once for /export option. It's a bit annoying because specifying the
same symbol with compatible options is actually safe and considered as a
normal use case. This patch makes LLD to warn only when incompatible export
options are given.
llvm-svn: 198104
Each export symbol descriptor has unique name attribute, so std::set is
better container than std::vector for it. No functionality change.
llvm-svn: 198102
Currently .drectve section contents are parsed after other sections are parsed.
That order may result in wrong results if other sections depend on command line
options in the directive section.
For example, if a weak symbol is defined using /alternatename option in the
directive section, we have to read it first and then read the text section
contents. Otherwise the weak symbol won't be defined.
This patch changes the order to fix the issue.

There are many object files in the standard library who have empty .drective
sections. Parsing the empty string is not wrong but a waste.

Subsystem field in the PE/COFF file header has no meanining for the DLL.
It looks like MSVC link.exe sets the default subsystem (Windows GUI) to
the field if no /subsystem option is specified.

It will configure resonable defaults for other settings in the
MachOLinkingContext object based on the parameters.

If a symbol in an import library is marked as "data", the linker will not
create a jump table entry for the symbol, since jump table makes sense only
for a symbol pointing to a function.
I don't think NONAME attribute has a meaning when creating an import library.
The attribute is emitted for debugging purpose.
llvm-svn: 197803
If the linker is instructed to create a DLL, it will also create an import
library (.lib file) to describe the symbols exported by the DLL. This patch is
to create the import library file.
There is a convenient command "lib.exe" which can create an import library
from a module definition file (.def file). The command is used in this patch.
llvm-svn: 197801
Default ordinals were assigned in EdataPass, and the assigned values were
then discarded in the pass. No code other than EdataPass would not be able
to get all of the information about ordinals. That's not ideal since I'm
writing code to emit an Import Library file, which also needs ordinals.
This is a patch to move the code to assign default ordinals from EdataPass
to LinkingContext::verify(), so that assigned ordinals will be available
anywhere.
No functionality change.

The main changes are in:
include/lld/Core/Reference.h
include/lld/ReaderWriter/Reader.h
Everything else is details to support the main change.
1) Registration based Readers
Previously, lld had a tangled interdependency with all the Readers. It would
have been impossible to make a streamlined linker (say for a JIT) which
just supported one file format and one architecture (no yaml, no archives, etc).
The old model also required a LinkingContext to read an object file, which
would have made .o inspection tools awkward.
The new model is that there is a global Registry object. You programmatically
register the Readers you want with the registry object. Whenever you need to
read/parse a file, you ask the registry to do it, and the registry tries each
registered reader.
For ease of use with the existing lld code base, there is one Registry
object inside the LinkingContext object.
2) Changing kind value to be a tuple
Beside Readers, the registry also keeps track of the mapping for Reference
Kind values to and from strings. Along with that, this patch also fixes
an ambiguity with the previous Reference::Kind values. The problem was that
we wanted to reuse existing relocation type values as Reference::Kind values.
But then how can the YAML write know how to convert a value to a string? The
fix is to change the 32-bit Reference::Kind into a tuple with an 8-bit namespace
(e.g. ELF, COFFF, etc), an 8-bit architecture (e.g. x86_64, PowerPC, etc), and
a 16-bit value. This tuple system allows conversion to and from strings with
no ambiguities.
