For arm64, llvm-mc emits relocations for the target function
address like so:
ltmp:
<CIE start>
...
<CIE end>
... multiple FDEs ...
<FDE start>
<target function address - (ltmp + pcrel offset)>
...
If any of the FDEs in `multiple FDEs` get dead-stripped, then `FDE start`
will move to an earlier address, and `ltmp + pcrel offset` will no longer
reflect an accurate pcrel value. To avoid this problem, we "canonicalize"
our relocation by adding an `EH_Frame` symbol at `FDE start`, and updating
the reloc to be `target function address - (EH_Frame + new pcrel offset)`.

== Background ==
`llvm-mc` generates unwind info in both compact unwind and DWARF
formats. LLD already handles the compact unwind format; this diff gets
us close to handling the DWARF format properly.
== Caveats ==
It's not quite done yet, but I figure it's worth getting this reviewed
and landed first as it's shaping up to be a fairly large code change.
**Known limitations of the current code:**
* Only works for x86_64, for which `llvm-mc` emits "abs-ified"
relocations as described in 618def651b.
`llvm-mc` emits regular relocations for ARM EH frames, which we do not
yet handle correctly.
Since the feature is not ready for real use yet, I've gated it behind a
flag that only gets toggled on during test suite runs. With most of the
new code disabled, we see just a hint of perf regression, so I don't
think it'd be remiss to land this as-is:
base diff difference (95% CI)
sys_time 1.926 ± 0.168 1.979 ± 0.117 [ -1.2% .. +6.6%]
user_time 3.590 ± 0.033 3.606 ± 0.028 [ +0.0% .. +0.9%]
wall_time 7.104 ± 0.184 7.179 ± 0.151 [ -0.2% .. +2.3%]
samples 30 31
== Design ==
Like compact unwind entries, EH frames are also represented as regular
ConcatInputSections that get pointed to via `Defined::unwindEntry`. This
allows them to be handled generically by e.g. the MarkLive and ICF
code. (But note that unlike compact unwind subsections, EH frame
subsections do end up in the final binary.)
In order to make EH frames "look like" a regular ConcatInputSection,
some processing is required. First, we need to split the `__eh_frame`
section along EH frame boundaries rather than along symbol boundaries.
We do this by decoding the length field of each EH frame. Second, the
abs-ified relocations need to be turned into regular Relocs.
== Next Steps ==
In order to support EH frames on ARM targets, we will either have to
teach LLD how to handle EH frames with explicit relocs, or we can try to
make `llvm-mc` emit abs-ified relocs for ARM as well. I'm hoping to do
the latter as I think it will make the LLD implementation both simpler
and faster to execute.
== Misc ==
The `obj-file-with-stabs.s` test had to be updated as the previous
version would trip assertion errors in the code. It appears that in our
attempt to produce a minimal YAML test input, we created a file with
invalid EH frame data. I've fixed this by re-generating the YAML and not
doing any hand-pruning of it.

This reverts commit dcf3368e33c3a01bd21b692d3be5dc1ecee587f4.
It breaks -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=on builds. In addition, the description is
incorrect about ld.lld behavior. For wasm, there should be justification to add
the new mode.
As well as ELF linker does, retain all data segments named X referenced
through `__start_X` or `__stop_X`.
For example, `FOO_MD` should not be stripped in the below case, but it's currently mis-stripped
```llvm
@FOO_MD = global [4 x i8] c"bar\00", section "foo_md", align 1
@__start_foo_md = external constant i8*
@__stop_foo_md = external constant i8*
@llvm.used = appending global [1 x i8*] [i8* bitcast (i32 ()* @foo_md_size to i8*)], section "llvm.metadata"
define i32 @foo_md_size() {
entry:
ret i32 sub (
i32 ptrtoint (i8** @__stop_foo_md to i32),
i32 ptrtoint (i8** @__start_foo_md to i32)

Remove .zdebug support to (a) simplify code and (b) allow removal of llvm-mc's

LTO code may end up mixing bitcode files from various sources varying in
their use of opaque pointer types. The current strategy to decide
between opaque / typed pointers upon the first bitcode file loaded does
not work here, since we could be loading a non-opaque bitcode file first
and would then be unable to load any files with opaque pointer types
later.
So for LTO this:
- Adds an `lto::Config::OpaquePointer` option and enforces an upfront
decision between the two modes.
- Adds `-opaque-pointers`/`-no-opaque-pointers` options to the gold
plugin; disabled by default.
- `--opaque-pointers`/`--no-opaque-pointers` options with
`-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers`/`-plugin-opt=-no-opaque-pointers`
aliases to lld; disabled by default.
- Adds an `-lto-opaque-pointers` option to the `llvm-lto2` tool.
- Changes the clang driver to pass `-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers` to
the linker in LTO modes when clang was configured with opaque
pointers enabled by default.

Symbols from LTO objects don't contain Wasm signatures, but we need a
signature when we create undefined/stub functions for missing weakly
undefined symbols.
Luckily, after LTO, we know that symbols that are not referenced by a
regular object file must not be needed in the final output so there
is no need to generate undefined/stub function for them.

It turns out we were already allocating static address space for TLS
data along with the non-TLS static data, but this space was going
unused/ignored.
With this change, we include the TLS segment in `__wasm_init_memory`
(which does the work of loading the passive segments into memory when a
module is first loaded). We also set the `__tls_base` global to point
to the start of this segment.
This means that the runtime can use this static copy of the TLS data for
the first/primary thread if it chooses, rather than doing a runtime
allocation prior to calling `__wasm_init_tls`.
Practically speaking, this will allow emscripten to avoid dynamic
allocation of TLS region on the main thread.

The test was incorrectly expecting the error messages for the export symbols to have a particular order.
It shouldn't because the export symbol list is processed concurrently.
GNU ld does not allow `.foo : { (*foo) }`, but we may recognize it as three

Placing a non-SHT_NOBITS input section in an output section specified with

SHT_PROGBITS, but using the specified type seems to make more sense and improve
GNU ld compatibility: `(NOLOAD)` seems to change the output section type
regardless of input.
I think we should keep the current type mismatch warning as it does indicate an

With -platform_version flags for two distinct platforms,
this writes a LC_BUILD_VERSION header for each.
The motivation is that this is needed for self-hosting with lld as linker
after D124059.
To create a zippered output at the clang driver level, pass
-target arm64-apple-macos -darwin-target-variant arm64-apple-ios-macabi
to create a zippered dylib.
(In Xcode's clang, `-darwin-target-variant` is spelled just `-target-variant`.)
(If you pass `-target arm64-apple-ios-macabi -target-variant arm64-apple-macos`
instead, ld64 crashes!)
This results in two -platform_version flags being passed to the linker.
ld64 also verifies that the iOS SDK version is at least 13.1. We don't do that
yet. But ld64 also does that for other platforms and we don't. So we need to
do that at some point, but not in this patch.
Only dylib and bundle outputs can be zippered.
I verified that a Catalyst app linked against a dylib created with
clang -shared foo.cc -o libfoo.dylib \
-target arm64-apple-macos \
-target-variant arm64-apple-ios-macabi \
-Wl,-install_name,@rpath/libfoo.dylib \
-fuse-ld=$PWD/out/gn/bin/ld64.lld
runs successfully. (The app calls a function `f()` in libfoo.dylib
that returns a const char* "foo", and NSLog(@"%s")s it.)
ld64 is a bit more permissive when writing zippered outputs,
see references to "unzippered twins". That's not implemented yet.
(If anybody wants to implement that, D124275 is a good start.)

We currently hard code RELRO sections. When a custom section is between

glibc recently switched to default --with-default-link=no. This configuration

Similar to D117734. Take AArch64 as an example when the branch range is +-0x8000000.
getISDThunkSec returns `ts` when `src-0x8000000-r_addend <= tsBase < src-0x8000000`
and the new thunk will be placed in `ts` (`ts->addThunk(t)`). However, the new
thunk (at the end of ts) may be unreachable from src. In the next pass,
`normalizeExistingThunk` reverts the relocation back to the original target.
Then a new thunk is created and the same `ts` is picked as before. The `ts` is
still unreachable.
I have observed it in one test with a sufficiently large r_addend (47664): there
are initially 245 Thunk's, then in each pass 14 new Thunk's are created and get
appended to the unreachable ThunkSection. After 15 passes lld fails with
`thunk creation not converged`.
The new test aarch64-thunk-reuse2.s checks the case.
Without `- pcBias`, arm-thumb-thunk-empty-pass.s and arm-thunk-multipass-plt.s
will fail.
