We were using uint32_t as the type of relocation kind. It has a
readability issue because what Type really means in `uint32_t Type`
is not obvious. It could be a section type, a symbol type or a
relocation type.
Since we do not do any arithemetic operations on relocation types
(e.g. adding one to R_X86_64_PC32 doesn't make sense), it would be
more natural if they are represented as enums. Unfortunately, that
is not doable because relocation type definitions are spread into
multiple header files.
So I decided to use typedef. This still should be better than the
plain uint32_t because the intended type is now obvious.

In preparation for supporting range extension thunks we now continually
call createThunks() until no more thunks are added. This requires us to

to prevent us from infinitely creating more thunks.

This change adds support for the R_ARM_SBREL32 relocation. The relocation
is a base relative relocation that is produced by clang/llvm when -frwpi
is used. The use case for the -frwpi option is position independent data
for embedded systems that do not have a GOT. With -frwpi all data is
accessed via an offset from a base register (usually r9), where r9 is set
at run time to where the data has been loaded. The base of the data is
known as the static base.
The ARM ABI defines the static base as:
B(S) is the addressing origin of the output segment defining the symbol S.
The origin is not required to be the base address of the segment. For
simplicity we choose to use the base address of the segment.
The ARM procedure call standard only defines a read write variant using
R_ARM_SBREL32 relocations. The read-only data is accessed via pc-relative
offsets from the code, this is implemented in clang as -fropi.

The patch introduces two new relocations expressions R_MIPS_GOT_GP and
R_MIPS_GOT_GP_PC. The first one represents a current value of `_gp`
pointer and used to calculate relocations against the `__gnu_local_gp`
symbol. The second one represents the offset between the beginning of
the function and the `_gp` pointer's value.
There are two motivations for introducing new expressions:
- It's better to keep all non-trivial relocation calculations in the
single place - `getRelocTargetVA` function.
- Relocations against both `_gp_disp` and `__gnu_local_gp` symbols
depend on the `_gp` value. It's a magical value points to the "middle"
of GOT. Now all relocations use a common `_gp` value. But in fact,
under some conditions each input file might require its own `_gp`
value. I'm going to implement it in the future patches. So it's
better to make `MipsGotSection` responsible for calculation of
the `_gp` value.

This change moves the calls to finalizeContent() for each synthetic section
before createThunks(). This will allow us to assign addresses prior to

couple of additional member functions to update these values.

Thunks are now implemented by redirecting the relocation to the
symbol S, to a symbol TS in a Thunk. The Thunk will transfer control
to S. This has the following implications:
- All the side-effects of Thunks happen within createThunks()
- Thunks are no longer stored in InputSections and Symbols no longer
need to hold a pointer to a Thunk
- The synthetic Thunk sections need to be merged into OutputSections
This implementation is almost a direct conversion of the existing
Thunks with the following exceptions:
- Mips LA25 Thunks are placed before the InputSection that defines
the symbol that needs a Thunk.
- All ARM Thunks are placed at the end of the OutputSection of the
first caller to the Thunk.
Range extension Thunks are not supported yet so it is optimistically
assumed that all Thunks can be reused.
This is a recommit of r293283 with a fixed comparison predicate as
std::merge requires a strict weak ordering.

A necessary first step towards range extension thunks is to delay
the creation of thunks until the layout of InputSections within
OutputSections has been done.
The change scans the relocations directly from InputSections rather
than looking in the ELF File the InputSection came from. This will
allow a future change to redirect the relocations to symbols defined
by Thunks rather than indirect when resolving relocations.
A side-effect of moving ThunkCreation is that the OutSecOff of
InputSections may change in an OutputSection that contains Thunks.
In well behaved programs thunks are not in OutputSections with
dynamic relocations.

In various places in LLD's hot loops, we have expressions of the form
"E == R_FOO || E == R_BAR || ..." (E is a RelExpr).
Some of these expressions are quite long, and even though they usually go just
a very small number of ways and so should be well predicted, they can still
occupy branch predictor resources harming other parts of the code, or they
won't be predicted well if they overflow branch predictor resources or if the
branches are too dense and the branch predictor can't track them all (the
compiler can in theory avoid this, at a cost in text size). And some of these
expressions are so large and executed so frequently that even when
well-predicted they probably still have a nontrivial cost.
This speedup should be pretty portable. The cost of these simple bit tests is
independent of:
- the target we are linking for
- the distribution of RelExpr's for a given link (which can depend on how the
input files were compiled)
- what compiler was used to compile LLD (it is just a simple bit test;
hopefully the compiler gets it right!)
- adding new target-dependent relocations (e.g. needsPlt doesn't pay any extra
cost checking R_PPC_PLT_OPD on x86-64 builds)
I did some rough measurements on clang-fsds and this patch gives over about 4%
speedup for a regular -O1 link, about 2.5% for -O3 --gc-sections and over 5%
for -O0. Sorry, I don't have my current machine set up for doing really
accurate measurements right now.
This also is just a bit cleaner. Thanks for Joerg for suggesting for
this approach.

Relocations are the last thing that we wore storing a raw section
pointer to and parsing on demand.
With this patch we parse it only once and store a pointer to the
actual data.
The patch also changes where we store it. It is now in
InputSectionBase. Not all sections have relocations, but most do and
this simplifies the logic. It also means that we now only support one
relocation section per section. Given that that constraint is
maintained even with -r with gold bfd and lld, I think it is OK.

Some MIPS relocations used to access GOT entries are able to manipulate
16-bit index. The other ones like R_MIPS_CALL_HI16/LO16 can handle
32-bit indexes. 16-bit relocations are generated by default. The 32-bit
relocations are generated by -mxgot flag passed to compiler. Usually
these relocation are not mixed in the same code but files like crt*.o
contain 16-bit relocations so even if all "user's" code compiled with
-mxgot flag a few 16-bit relocations might come to the linking phase.
Now LLD does not differentiate local GOT entries accessed via a 16-bit
and 32-bit indexes. That might lead to relocation's overflow if 16-bit
entries are allocated to far from the beginning of the GOT.
The patch introduces new "part" of MIPS GOT dedicated to the local GOT
entries accessed by 32-bit relocations. That allows to put local GOT
entries accessed via a 16-bit index first and escape relocation's overflow.

without side-effects. In the case of R_ARM_PREL31 we permit it to be used
against PLT entries as the personality routines are imported when used in

We will need to do something like this to support range extension
thunks since that process is iterative.
Doing this also has the advantage that when doing the regular
relocation scan the offset in the output section is known and we can
just store that. This reduces the number of times we have to run
getOffset and I think will allow a more specialized .eh_frame
representation.
By itself this is already a performance win.

The patch adds one more partition to the MIPS GOT. This time it is for
TLS related GOT entries. Such entries are located after 'local' and 'global'
ones. We cannot get a final offset for these entries at the time of
creation because we do not know size of 'local' and 'global' partitions.
So we have to adjust the offset later using `getMipsTlsOffset()` method.
All MIPS TLS relocations which need GOT entries operates MIPS style GOT
offset - 'offset from the GOT's beginning' - MipsGPOffset constant. That
is why I add new types of relocation expressions.
One more difference from othe ABIs is that the MIPS ABI does not support
any TLS relocation relaxations. I decided to make a separate function
`handleMipsTlsRelocation` and put MIPS TLS relocation handling code
there. It is similar to `handleTlsRelocation` routine and duplicates its
code. But it allows to make the code cleaner and prevent pollution of
the `handleTlsRelocation` by MIPS 'if' statements.

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.

There are two motivations for this patch. The first one is a preparation
for support MIPS TLS relocations. It might sound like a joke but for GOT
entries related to TLS relocations MIPS ABI uses almost regular approach
with creation of dynamic relocations for each GOT enty etc. But we need
to separate these 'regular' TLS related entries from MIPS specific local
and global parts of GOT. ABI declare simple solution - all TLS related
entries allocated at the end of GOT after local/global parts. The second
motivation it to support GOT relocations for non-preemptible symbols
with addends. If we have more than one GOT relocations against symbol S
with different addends we need to create GOT entries for each unique
Symbol/Addend pairs.
So we store all MIPS GOT entries in separate containers. For non-preemptible
symbols we have to maintain two data structures. The first one is MipsLocal
vector. Each entry corresponds to the GOT entry from the 'local' part
of the GOT contains the symbol's address plus addend. The second one
is MipsLocalMap. It is a map from Symbol/Addend pair to the GOT index.
