In case of MIPS ABI relocation has R_GOTREL expression's type iif the
relocation type is either R_MIPS_GPREL16 or R_MIPS_GPREL32. So it is
enough to check expression's type only.

We were creating the copy relocations just fine, but then thinking that
the .bss position could be preempted and creating a dynamic relocation
to it, which would crash at runtime since that memory is read only.

This allows the combined LTO object to provide a definition with the same
name as a symbol that was internalized without causing a duplicate symbol
error. This normally happens during parallel codegen which externalizes
originally-internal symbols, for example.
In order to make this work, I needed to relax the undefined symbol error to
only report an error for symbols that are used in regular objects.

We were previously using an output offset of -1 for both GC'd and tail
merged pieces. We need to distinguish these two cases in order to filter
GC'd symbols from the symbol table -- we were previously asserting when we
asked for the VA of a symbol pointing into a dead piece, which would end
up asking the tail merging string table for an offset even though we hadn't
initialized it properly.
This patch fixes the bug by using an offset of -1 to exclusively mean GC'd
pieces, using 0 for tail merges, and distinguishing the tail merge case from
an offset of 0 by asking the output section whether it is tail merge.

It is insanely hard to write a test that works both on Windows and Unix.
I tried to workaround it with cpio's minor options, but the behaviors of
the options were myterious. It just doesn't worth to spend time on it.
And probably minor options could break buildbots that doesn't have the
GNU version of cpio command.
In this patch, I simply added a separate test file that runs only on
Windows.

MIPS N64 ABI packs multiple relocations into the single relocation
record. Particularly it requires to represent dynamic relative
relocation as a combination of R_MIPS_REL32 and R_MIPS_64 relocations.
llvm-svn: 268565
We were already checking for non relative relocations.
If we ever decide to add support for rw text segments this means we will

Currently we don't check when creating relative relocations if the

These relocations introduced by MIPS N64 ABI. R_MIPS_GOT_DISP references
GOT entry with full symbol's address, R_MIPS_GOT_PAGE creates GOT entry
with address of memory page which includes symbol's address,
R_MIPS_GOT_OFST used together with R_MIPS_GOT_PAGE. This relocation
calculates offset from beginning of memory page to the symbol address.

MIPS N64 ABI introduces .MIPS.options section which specifies miscellaneous

We want --reproduce to
* not rewrite scripts and thin archives
* work with absolute paths
Given that, it pretty much has to create a full directory tree. On windows that
is problematic because of the very short maximum path limit. On most cases
users can still work around it with "--repro c:\r", but that is annoying and
not viable for automated testing.
We then need to produce some form of archive with the files. The first option
that comes to mind is .a files since we already have code for writing them.
There are a few problems with them
The format has a dedicated string table, so we cannot start writing it until
all members are known.
Regular implementations don't support creating directories. We could make
llvm-ar support that, but that is probably not a good idea.
The next natural option would be tar. The problem is that to support long path
names (which is how this started) it needs a "pax extended header" making this
an annoying format to write.
The next option I looked at seems a natural fit: cpio files.
They are available on pretty much every unix, support directories and long path
names and are really easy to write. The only slightly annoying part is a
terminator, but at least gnu cpio only prints a warning if it is missing, which
is handy for crashes. This patch still makes an effort to always create it.

The test is now unexpectedly passing on

us to turn this test back on.
Unfortunately, we don't have a way to temporarily XFAIL this test just

Weak undefined symbols resolve to the image base. This is a little strange,
but it allows us to link function calls to such symbols. Normally such a
call will be guarded with a comparison, which will load a zero from the GOT.
There's one example of such a function call in crti.o in Linux's CRT.
As part of this change, I also needed to make the synthetic start and end
symbols image base relative in the case where their sections were empty,
so that PC-relative references to those symbols would continue to work.

`REQUIRES: shell` is not appropriate because that would mean that there
are no windows bots testing this, and that is precisely where it needs
the most testing.
Rafael or Rui are working on generating an archive directly, which
should avoid this issue.
We can try to move the bot to a shorter build directory path.

This change simplifies the BuildId classes by removing a few member

This patch increases the size of Undefined by the size of a pointer,

This patch implements a new design for the symbol table that stores
SymbolBodies within a memory region of the Symbol object. Symbols are mutated
by constructing SymbolBodies in place over existing SymbolBodies, rather
than by mutating pointers. As mentioned in the initial proposal [1], this
memory layout helps reduce the cache miss rate by improving memory locality.
Performance numbers:
old(s) new(s)
Without debug info:
chrome 7.178 6.432 (-11.5%)
LLVMgold.so 0.505 0.502 (-0.5%)
clang 0.954 0.827 (-15.4%)
llvm-as 0.052 0.045 (-15.5%)
With debug info:
scylla 5.695 5.613 (-1.5%)
clang 14.396 14.143 (-1.8%)
Performance counter results show that the fewer required indirections is
indeed the cause of the improved performance. For example, when linking
chrome, stalled cycles decreases from 14,556,444,002 to 12,959,238,310, and
instructions per cycle increases from 0.78 to 0.83. We are also executing
many fewer instructions (15,516,401,933 down to 15,002,434,310), probably
because we spend less time allocating SymbolBodies.
The new mechanism by which symbols are added to the symbol table is by calling
add* functions on the SymbolTable.
In this patch, I handle local symbols by storing them inside "unparented"
SymbolBodies. This is suboptimal, but if we do want to try to avoid allocating
these SymbolBodies, we can probably do that separately.
I also removed a few members from the SymbolBody class that were only being
used to pass information from the input file to the symbol table.
This patch implements the new design for the ELF linker only. I intend to
prepare a similar patch for the COFF linker.

The aim of this patch is to make it easy to re-run the command without
updating paths in the command line. Here is a use case.
Assume that Alice is having an issue with lld and is reporting the issue
to developer Bob. Alice's current directly is /home/alice/work and her
command line is "ld.lld -o foo foo.o ../bar.o". She adds "--reproduce repro"
to the command line and re-run. Then the following text will be produced as
response.txt (notice that the paths are rewritten so that they are
relative to /home/alice/work/repro.)
-o home/alice/work/foo home/alice/work/foo.o home/alice/bar.o
The command also produces the following files by copying inputs.
/home/alice/repro/home/alice/work/foo.o
/home/alice/repro/home/alice/bar.o
Alice zips the directory and send it to Bob. Bob get an archive from Alice
and extract it to his home directory as /home/bob/repro. Now his directory
have the following files.
/home/bob/repro/response.txt
/home/bob/repro/home/alice/work/foo.o
/home/bob/repro/home/alice/bar.o
Bob then re-run the command with these files by the following commands.
cd /home/bob/repro
ld.lld @response.txt
This command will run the linker with the same command line options and
the same input files as Alice's, so it is very likely that Bob will see
the same issue as Alice saw.

We currently don't do a good job of diagnosing inputs that would require
dynamic relocations to be applied to read only segments.
I am about to improve lld in that area, but unfortunately we developed
tests that depend on the current behavior.
To make clear what is actually changing, this first patch just updates
tests to not depend on the current behavior. In most cases this just
means using a rw section instead of a ro one, but that unfortunately
changes many addresses.

This patch redefines the default optimization level as 1 and adds
new level 0. In the command line, it is -O0. The flag disables
costly but optional features so that the linker produces semantically
correct but larger output quickly. Currently it only disables
section merging.
This flag is not intended to be used for final production linking.
It is intended to be used in compile-link-test cycle.
Time to link clang with debug info is about 2x faster with the flag.

Using multiple context used to be a really big memory saving because we
could free memory from each file while the linker proceeded with the
symbol resolution. We are getting lazier about reading data from the
bitcode, so I was curious if this was still a good tradeoff.
One thing that is a bit annoying is that we still have to copy the
symbol names. The problem is that the names are stored in the Module and
get freed when we move the module bits during linking.
Long term I think the solution is to add a symbol table to the bitcode.
That way IRObject file will not need to use a Module or a Context and we
can drop it while still keeping a StringRef to the names.
This patch is still be an interesting medium term improvement.

The semantics of the -u flag are to load the lazy symbol named by the flag. We
were previously relying on this behavior falling out of symbol resolution
against a synthetic undefined symbol, but that didn't quite give us the
correct behavior, so we needed a flag to mark symbols created with -u so
we could treat them specially in the writer. However, it's simpler and less
error prone to implement the required behavior directly and remove the flag.
This fixes an issue where symbols loaded with -u would receive hidden
visibility even when the definition in an object file had wider visibility.

When --reproduce <path> is given, then we need to concatenate input
file paths to the given path to save input files to the directory.
Previously, path concatenation didn't handle Windows drive letters
so it could generate invalid paths such as "C:\D:\foo". It also didn't
handle ".." path components, so it could produce some bad paths
such as "foo/../../etc/passwd".
In this patch, Windows drive letters and ".." are removed before
concatenating paths.
