When an OutputSection is larger than the branch range for a Target we
need to place thunks such that they are always in range of their caller,
and sufficiently spaced to maximise the number of callers that can use
the thunk. We use the simple heuristic of placing the
ThunkSection at intervals corresponding to a target specific branch range.
If the OutputSection is small we put the thunks at the end of the executable
sections.

Instead of maintaining a map of the std::vector to ThunkSections, record the
ThunkSections directly in InputSectionDescription.

Previously, EhFrameSection pushes data to EhFrameHdr by calling addFde
function. By making EhFrameHdr pull data from EhFrameSection, we can
eliminate a member from EhFrameHdr.

When LLD do ICF for 2 identical sections it leaves 2 duplicate entries in .eh_frame
pointing to the same address. After that it fixes .eh_frame_header's header,
so that it says it contains single FDE, though section itself contains 2
(it contains garbage data at tail).
As a result excessive entries in .eh_frame and excessive dummy data in .eh_frame_header
emited to output. Patch fixes that. This is PR34518.

Summary:
The COFF linker and the ELF linker have long had similar but separate
Error.h and Error.cpp files to implement error handling. This change
introduces new error handling code in Common/ErrorHandler.h, changes the
COFF and ELF linkers to use it, and removes the old, separate
implementations.

"/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.

This is PR34886.
SUBALIGN command currently triggers failture if result expression
is zero. Patch fixes the issue, treating zero as 1, what is consistent with
other places and ELF spec it seems.
Patch also adds "is power of 2" check for this and other expressions
returning alignment.

This is "Bug 34836 - --gc-sections remove relocations from --emit-relocs",
When --emit-relocs is used, LLD currently always drops SHT_REL[A] sections from
output if --gc-sections is present. Patch fixes the issue.

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.

r315292 introduced a change that's supposed to consistently ignore
"dead" output sections when placing orphans. Unfortunately, that
change doesn't handle the special case when the orphan section is
second to last section and the last section is dead (e.g. because
it's being discarded) introducing a regression in some cases.
This change handles this case by using the same predicate when
checking the last section.

The support of R_PPC_ADDR16_HI improves ld compatibility and makes
things on par with RuntimeDyldELF that already implements this
relocation.

We used to have a map from section piece offsets to section pieces
as a cache for binary search. But I found that the map took quite a
large amount of memory and didn't make linking faster. So, in this
patch, I removed the map.
This patch saves 566 MiB of RAM (2.019 GiB -> 1.453 GiB) when linking
clang with debug info, and the link time is 4% faster in that test case.
Thanks for Sean Silva for pointing this out.

By assuming that mergeable input sections are smaller than 4 GiB,
lld's memory usage when linking clang with debug info drops from
2.788 GiB to 2.019 GiB (measured by valgrind, and that does not include
memory space for mmap'ed files). I think that's a reasonable assumption
given such a large RAM savings, so this patch.
According to valgrind, gold needs 3.54 GiB of RAM to do the same thing.
NB: This patch does not introduce a limitation on the size of
output sections. You can still create sections larger than 4 GiB.

The original patch was reported to break a libcxx bot. Unfortunately I
could not reproduce the issue and the bot log is not available anymore.
This patch changes the handling of shared symbols. I will watch the
bot and see it breaks.
Original message:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Handle shared and lazy symbol in the gnu hash construction.
We were not considering those symbols undefined and they could end up
in the end of the dynamic symbol table.
