Previously, in r320472, I moved the calculation of section offsets and sizes
for compressed debug sections into maybeCompress, which happens before
assignAddresses, so that the compression had the required information. However,
I failed to take account of relocations that patch such sections. This had two
effects:
1. A race condition existed when a debug section referred to a different debug
section (see PR35788).
2. References to symbols in non-debug sections would be patched incorrectly.
This is because the addresses of such symbols are not calculated until after
assignAddresses (this was a partial regression caused by r320472, but they
could still have been broken before, in the event that a custom layout was used
in a linker script).
assignAddresses does not need to know about the output section size of
non-allocatable sections, because they do not affect the value of Dot. This
means that there is no longer a reason not to support custom layout of
compressed debug sections, as far as I'm aware. These two points allow for
delaying when maybeCompress can be called, removing the need for the loop I
previously added to calculate the section size, and therefore the race
condition. Furthermore, by delaying, we fix the issues of relocations getting
incorrect symbol values, because they have now all been finalized.

Advance the memory region offset when handling a linker script data
command such as BYTE or LONG. Failure to advance the offset results
in corrupted output with overlapping sections.
Update tests to check for this combination of both a) memory regions
and b) data commands.

The size of an OutputSection is calculated early, to aid handling of compressed
debug sections. However, subsequent to this point, unused synthetic sections are
removed. In the event that an OutputSection, from which such an InputSection is
removed, is still required (e.g. because it has a symbol assignment), and no longer
has any InputSections, dot assignments, or BYTE()-family directives, the size
member is never updated when processing the commands. If the removed InputSection
had a non-zero size (such as a .got.plt section), the section ends up with the
wrong size in the output.
The fix is to reset the OutputSection size prior to processing the linker script
commands relating to that OutputSection. This ensures that the size is correct even
in the above situation.
Additionally, to reduce the risk of developers misusing OutputSection Size and
InputSection OutSecOff, they are set to simply the number of InputSections in an
OutputSection, and the corresponding index respectively. We cannot completely
stop using them, due to SHF_LINK_ORDER sections requiring them.
Compressed debug sections also require the full size. This is now calculated in
maybeCompress for these kinds of sections.

When an output section has no byte commands and has no input sections then it
would be ideal if the type of the section is SHT_NOBITS so that the file can
take up less space. This change sets the default type of of output sections to
SHT_NOBITS instead of SHT_PROGBITS to allow this. This required some minor test
changes (which double as tests for this new behavior) but extend-pt-load.s had
be changed in a non-trivial way. Since it seems to me that the point of the
test is to point out the consequences of how flags are assigned to output
sections that don't have input sections I changed the test to work and still
show how the memsize of the executable segment was changed.

This is for "Bug 35474 - --emit-relocs produces wrongly-named reloc sections".
LLD currently for scripts like:
.text.boot : { *(.text.boot) }
emits relocation section with name .rela.text because does not take
redefined name of output section into account and builds section name
using rules for non-scripted case. Patch fixes this oddness.

When a linker script has "foo = bar" and bar is the result of a copy
relocation foo should point to the same location in .bss.
This is part of a growing evidence that copy relocations should be
implemented by using replaceSymbol to replace the SharedSymbol with a
Defined.

That class is used only by LinkerScript.cpp, so we should move it to

Now that we have only SymbolBody as the symbol class. So, "SymbolBody"

The way we handle ONLY_IF_RO/ONLY_IF_RW constraints in
processSectionCommands is a bit tricky. If input sections
does no satisfy given constraint we remove command from
commands list. It seems too complex, what we can do instead
is to make the OutputCommand empty. So that at later steps
LLD will remove it just like it deal with other empty output commands.
That allows to simplify the loop a bit.

SymbolBody and Symbol were separated classes due to a historical reason.
Symbol used to be a pointer to a SymbolBody, and the relationship
between Symbol and SymbolBody was n:1.
r2681780 changed that. Since that patch, SymbolBody and Symbol are
allocated next to each other to improve memory locality, and they have
1:1 relationship now. So, the separation of Symbol and SymbolBody no
longer makes sense.
This patch merges them into one class. In order to avoid updating too
many places, I chose SymbolBody as a unified name. I'll rename it Symbol
in a follow-up patch.

When there is no SECTION commands given, all sections are

"/DISCARD/" is a special section name in the linker script to discard
input sections. Previously, we handled it as if it were a real section,
so an input section can be assigned but dead. However, allowing sections
to be
- assigned and alive (will be emitted),
- not assigned and dead (removed), or
- assigned but dead (???)
feels logically wrong and practically error-prone. This patch removes
the last combination of the states.

It is PR34946.
Spec (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/ld.1.html) tells about
--orphan-handling=MODE, option where MODE can be one of four:
"place", "discard", "warn", "error".
Currently we already report orphans when -verbose given,
what becomes excessive with option implemented.
Patch stops reporting orphans when -versbose is given,
and support "place", "warn" and "error" modes.
It is not yet clear that "discard" mode is useful so it is not supported.

If a struct has a std::unique_ptr member, the logical interpretation
is that that member will be destroyed with the struct.
That is not the case for Ctx. It is has to be deleted earlier and its
lifetime is defined by the functions where the AddressState is
created.

This will allow using the functionality from other linkers. It is also

This is PR34546.
Currently LLD creates output sections even if it has no input sections,
but its command contains an assignment.
Committed code just assigns the same flag that was used in previous
live section.
That does not work sometimes. For example if we have following script:
.ARM.exidx : { *(.ARM.exidx*) }
.foo : { _foo = 0; } }
Then first section has SHF_LINK_ORDER flag. But section foo should not.
That was a reason of crash in OutputSection::finalize(). LLD tried to calculate
Link value, calling front() on empty input sections list.
We should only keep access flags and omit all others when creating such sections.
Patch fixes the crash observed.

Usually, a function that does symbol lookup takes symbol name as
its first argument. Also, if a function takes a source location hint,
it is usually the last parameter. So the previous parameter order
was counter-intuitive.

Because of r314495, DefinedCommon symbols cannot reach to

We used CurAddressState to capture a dynamic context just like
we use lambdas to capture static contexts. So, CurAddressState
is used everywhere in LinkerScript.cpp. It is worth a shorter
name.

"Commands" was ambiguous because in the linker script, everything is
a command. We used to handle only SECTIONS commands, and at the time,
it might make sense to call them the commands, but it is no longer
the case. We handle not only SECTIONS but also MEMORY, PHDRS, VERSION,
etc., and they are all commands.
llvm-svn: 315409
HasSections is true if there is at least one SECTIONS linker
script command, and it is not directly related to whether we have
section objects or not. So I think the new name is better.
llvm-svn: 315405
ScriptConfiguration was a class to contain parsed results of
linker scripts. LinkerScript is a class to interpret it.
That ditinction was needed because we haven't instantiated
LinkerScript early (because, IIRC, LinkerScript class was a
ELFT template function). So, when we parse linker scripts,
we couldn't directly store the result to a LinkerScript instance.
Now, that limitation is gone. We instantiate LinkerScript
at the very beginning of our main function. We can directly
store parse results to a LinkerScript instance.

Because addRegular's functionality is tightly coupled with
addSymbol, and the former is called only once, it makes sense
to merge the two functions. This patch also adds comments.
llvm-svn: 315401
When parsing linker scripts, LLD previously started with a '.' value of 0,
regardless of the internal default image base for the target, and regardless of
switches such as --image-base. It seems reasonable to use a different image base
value when using linker scripts and --image-base is specified, since otherwise the
switch has no effect. This change does this, as well as removing unnecessary
initialisation of Dot where it is not used.
The default image base should not be used when processing linker
scripts, because this will change the behaviour for existing linker script users,
and potentially result in invalid output being produced, as a subsequent assignment
to Dot could move the location counter backwards. Instead, we maintain the existing
behaviour of starting from 0 if --image-base is not specified.
