When we report an error for symbols defined in the linker script,
we do not report the location properly.
For example:
ld.lld: error: relocation R_AARCH64_CALL26 cannot refer to absolute symbol: aliasto__text
>>> defined in <internal>
>>> referenced by rtoabs.o:(.text+0x4)
This patch fixes that.

Previously, this code printed out an error message like this
ld.lld: error: --reproduce: failed to open /foo: cannot open /foo
Apparently "failed to open /foo:" part is redundant.
llvm-svn: 349571
Previously, if you pass -static to lld, lld searches for only foo.a
and skips foo.so for -lfoo option. However, it didn't reject .so files
if you directly pass their pathnames via the command line, which is a bug.

Summary:
Other large sections (e.g. .rela.dyn .dynstr) may push .note.* off the
first page. They won't be available in core files if RLIMIT_CORE is
limited.
This patch gives priority to alloctable SHT_NOTE sections so that they
are assuredly in the first page and will be available in core files.
They are small and contain important information (e.g. .note.gnu.build-id
identifies the origin of the core, .note.tag stores NT_FREEBSD_ABI_TAG).
Note: gold Output_section_order has a similar rule:
// Loadable read-only note sections come next so that the PT_NOTE
// segment is on the first page of the executable.

The code here wants the output section offset of the instruction
requiring the errata patch, not the virtual address. Without this
change we can end up placing a patch out of range if the virtual

ARM Architecture v6m is used by the smallest microcontrollers such as the
cortex-m0. It is Thumb only (no Thumb 2) which prevents it from using the
existing Thumb 2 range extension thunks as these use the Thumb 2 movt/movw
instructions. Range extension thunks are not usually needed for
microcontrollers due to the small amount of flash and ram on the device,
however if code is copied from flash into ram then a range extension thunk
is required to call that code.
This change adds support for v6m range extension thunks. The procedure call
standard APCS permits a thunk to corrupt the intra-procedural scratch
register r12 (referred to as ip in the APCS). Most Thumb instructions do
not permit access to high registers (r8 - r15) so the thunks must spill
some low registers (r0 - r7) to perform the control transfer.

Previously we considered R_ARM_V4BX to be an absolute relocation,
which meant that we rejected it in read-only sections in PIC output

`--plugin-opt=emit-llvm` is an option for LTO. It makes the linker to
combine all bitcode files and write the result to an output file without
doing codegen. Gold LTO plugin has this option.
This option is being used for some post-link code analysis tools that
have to see a whole program but don't need to see them in the native

In the ABI for the 64-bit Arm architecture the section on weak references
states:
During linking, the symbol value of an undefined weak reference is:
- Zero if the relocation type is absolute
- The address of the place if the relocation type is pc-relative.
The relocations associated with an ADRP are relative so we should resolve
the undefined weak reference to the place instead of 0. This matches GNU
ld.bfd behaviour.

Previously, we have a hash table containing strings and their offsets
to manage mergeable strings. Technically we can live without that, because
we can do binary search on a vector of mergeable strings to find a mergeable
strings.
We did have both the hash table and the binary search because we thought
that that is faster.
We recently observed that lld tend to consume more memory than gold when
building an output with debug info. A few percent of memory is consumed by
the hash table. So, we needed to reevaluate whether or not having the extra
hash table is a good CPU/memory tradeoff. I run a few benchmarks with and
without the hash table.
I got a mixed result for the benchmark. We observed a regression for some
programs by removing the hash table (that's what we expected), but we also
observed that performance imrpovements for some programs. This is perhaps
due to reduced memory usage.

The _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is a linker defined symbol that is placed at
some location relative to the .got, .got.plt or .toc section. On some
targets such as Arm the correctness of some code sequences using a
relocation to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ depend on the value of the symbol
being in the linker defined place. Follow the ld.gold example and give
a multiple symbol definition error. The ld.bfd behaviour is to ignore the
definition in the input object and redefine it, which seems like it could
be more surprising.

This reinstates what I originally intended to do in D54361.
It removes the assumption that .debug_gnu_pubnames has increasing CuOffset.
Now we do better than gold here: when .debug_gnu_pubnames contains
multiple sets, gold would think every set has the same CU index as the
first set (incorrect).

The DT_PLTRELSZ dynamic tag is calculated using the size of the
OutputSection containing the In.RelaPlt InputSection. This will work for the
default no linker script case and the majority of linker scripts.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for some 'almost' sensible linker scripts. It
is permitted by ELF to have a single OutputSection containing both
In.RelaDyn, In.RelaPlt and In.RelaIPlt. It is also permissible for the range
of memory [DT_RELA, DT_RELA + DT_RELASZ) and the range
[DT_JMPREL, DT_JMPREL + DT_JMPRELSZ) to overlap as long as the the latter
range is at the end.
To support this type of linker script use the specific InputSection sizes.

The issue is that when calling a function, LLD generates a

The changes to the instructions performed by TLS relaxation and the errata
patching are performed with relocations. As these are applied so late the
errata scanning won't see the changes in the section data made by the TLS
relaxation. This can lead to a TLS relaxed sequence being patched when it
doesn't need to be.
The fix checks to see if there is a R_RELAX_TLS_IE_TO_LE instruction at the
same address as the ADRP as this indicates the presence of a relaxation
of a sequence that might get recognised as a patch.

Spec says that:
"Objects may be built with the -z nodefaultlib option to

Use of this option implies that all the dependencies of an

Without this option, which is the most common case, no
matter how you augment the runtime linker's library
search path, its last element is always /usr/lib for 32-bit
objects and /usr/lib/64 for 64-bit objects."

When we are in a error state, script parser will not parse the -defsym
expression and hence will not tokenize it. Then ScriptLexer::Pos will be 0
and LLD will assert and crash here:
MemoryBufferRef ScriptLexer::getCurrentMB() {
assert(!MBs.empty() && Pos > 0); // Bang !
Solution - stop parsing the defsym in a error state. That is consistent
with the regular case (when we parse the linker script).

Summary:
This fixes PR39711: -static -z retpolineplt does not produce retpoline PLT header.
-z now is not relevant.
Statically linked executable does not have PLT, but may have IPLT with no header. When -z retpolineplt is specified, however, the repoline PLT header should still be emitted.
I've checked that this fixes the FreeBSD reproduce in PR39711 and a Linux program statically linked against glibc. The programm print "Hi" rather than SIGILL/SIGSEGV.
getPltEntryOffset may look dirty after this patch, but it can be cleaned up later.
Another possible improvement is that when there are non-preemptible IFUNC symbols (rare case, e.g. -Bsymbolic), both In.Plt and In.Iplt can be non-empty and we'll emit the retpoline PLT header twice.
