Follow-up to #69295: In `Writer<ELFT>::run`, the symbol passes are
flexible:
they can be placed almost everywhere before `scanRelocations`, with a
constraint
that the `computeIsPreemptible` pass must be invoked for linker-defined
non-local symbols.
Merge copyLocalSymbols and demoteLocalSymbolsInDiscardedSections to
simplify
code:
* Demoting local symbols can be made unconditional, not constrainted to
/DISCARD/ uses due to performance concerns
* `includeInSymtab` can be made faster
* Make symbol passes close to each other
* Decrease data cache misses due to saving an iteration over local
symbols
There is no speedup, likely due to the unconditional `dr->section`
access in `demoteAndCopyLocalSymbols`.
`gc-sections-tls.s` no longer reports an error because the TLS symbol is
converted to an Undefined.
One use of setSymbolAndType (related to https://reviews.llvm.org/D53864
"Do not crash when -r output uses linker script with `/DISCARD/`")
is no longer needed after commit 1981b1b6b92f7579a30c9ed32dbdf3bc749c1b40
demotes symbols in discarded sections to Undefined.
When an input section is matched by /DISCARD/ in a linker script, GNU ld
reports errors for relocations referencing symbols defined in the section:
`.aaa' referenced in section `.bbb' of a.o: defined in discarded section `.aaa' of a.o
Implement the error by demoting eligible symbols to `Undefined` and changing
STB_WEAK to STB_GLOBAL. As a side benefit, in relocatable links, relocations
referencing symbols defined relative to /DISCARD/ discarded sections no longer
set symbol/type to zeros.
It's arguable whether a weak reference to a discarded symbol should lead to
errors. GNU ld reports an error and our demoting approach reports an error as
well.

The pass is placed after markLive just to be clear that it needs `isNeeded`

CDSort function reordering outperforms the existing default heuristic (
hfsort/C^3) in terms of the performance of generated binaries while
being (almost) as fast. Thus, the suggestion is to change the default.
The speedup is up to 1.5% perf for large front-end binaries, and can be
moderate/neutral for "small" benchmarks.
High-level **perf impact** on two selected binaries:
clang-10 binary (built with LTO+AutoFDO/CSSPGO): wins on top of C^3 in
[0.3%..0.8%]
rocksDB-8 binary (built with LTO+CSSPGO): wins on top of C^3 in
[0.8%..1.5%]

Integrating MTE globals on Android revealed a lot of cases where
libraries are built as both archives and DSOs, and they're linked into
fully static and dynamic executables respectively.
MTE globals doesn't work for fully static executables. They need a
dynamic loader to process the special R_AARCH64_RELATIVE relocation
semantics with the encoded offset. Fully static executables that had
out-of-bounds derived symbols (like 'int* foo_end = foo[16]') crash
under MTE globals w/ static executables. So, LLD in its current form
simply errors out when you try and compile a fully static executable
that has a single MTE global variable in it.
It seems like a much better idea to simply have LLD not do the special
work for MTE globals in fully static contexts, and to drop any
unnecessary metadata. This means that you can build archives with MTE
globals and link them into both fully-static and dynamic executables.
Treat this as an alias for the --shared option.
In practice in GNU ld, they aren't exact aliases but there are small
subtle differences in what happens and what doesn't, when they are set,
but those differences are probably not intended by users who might be
using the --dll option (which gets passed by -mdll in the compiler
driver), and the differences are within the area where small details
differ between LLD and GNU ld anyway.
Now that llvm::support::endianness has been renamed to
llvm::endianness, we can use the shorter form. This patch replaces
llvm::support::endianness with llvm::endianness.
Some large AVR programs (for devices without long jump) may exceed
128KiB, and lld should give explicit errors other than generate wrong
executables silently.
This adds support for generating Chrome-tracing .json profile traces in
the LLD COFF driver.
Also add the necessary time scopes, so that the profile trace shows in
great detail which tasks are executed.
As an example, this is what we see when linking a Unreal Engine
executable:
For each R_X86_64_(REX_)GOTPCRELX relocation, check that the offset to the symbol is representable with 2^32 signed offset. If not, add a GOT entry for it and set its expr to R_GOT_PC so that we emit the GOT load instead of the relaxed lea. Do this in finalizeAddressDependentContent() where we iteratively attempt this (e.g. RISCV uses this for relaxation, ARM uses this to insert thunks).
Decided not to do the opposite of inserting GOT entries initially and removing them when relaxable because removing GOT entries isn't simple.
One drawback of this approach is that if we see any GOTPCRELX relocation, we'll create an empty .got even if it's not required in the end.

C++20 will automatically generate an operator== with reversed operand
order, which is ambiguous with the written operator== when one argument
is marked const and the other isn't.
This can happen when manually emitting strings into .drectve sections
with `__attribute__((section(".drectve")))`, which is a way to emulate
`#pragma comment(linker, "...")` for mingw compilers, without requiring
building with -fms-extensions.
Normally, this doesn't generate any comdat, but if compiled with
-fsanitize=address, this section does get turned into a comdat section.
This fixes#67261. This issue can be seen as a regression; a change in
the "lli" tool in 17.x triggers this case, if compiled with ASAN
enabled, triggering this unsupported corner case in LLD. With this
change, LLD can handle it.
Fixes a crash in `-Wl,-emit-relocs` where the linker was not able to
write linker-synthetic absolute symbols to the symbol table.
This change adds a new symbol flag (`WASM_SYMBOL_ABS`), which means that
the symbol's offset is absolute and not relative to a given segment.
Such symbols include `__stack_low` and `__stack_low`.
Note that wasm object files never contains such symbols, only binaries
linked with `-Wl,-emit-relocs`.
Fixes: #67111
Before this patch, with MSVC I was seeing:

This patch removes `redirectCmseSymbols` which is not defined. And it
imports `importCmseSymbols` in InputFiles.cpp, because it is already
explicitly instantiated in ARM.cpp.
When the .eh_frame section is placed at a non-zero
offset within its output section, the relocation
value within .eh_frame are computed incorrectly.
We had similar issue in .ARM.exidx section and it has been
fixed already in https://reviews.llvm.org/D148033.
While applying the relocation using S+A-P, the value
of P (the location of the relocation) is getting wrong.
P is:
P = SecAddr + rel.offset, But SecAddr points to the
starting address of the outputsection rather than the
starting address of the eh frame section within that
output section.
This issue affects all targets which generates .eh_frame
section. Hence fixing in all the corresponding targets it affecting.
Before af744f0b84e2b6410be65277068b9033124c73b2, the first entry
among the search paths was the empty string, indicating searching
in (or starting from) the current directory. After
af744f0b84e2b6410be65277068b9033124c73b2, the toolchain/clang
specific lib directories were added at the head of the search path.
This would cause lookups of literal file names or relative paths
to match paths in the toolchain, if there are coincidental files
with similar names there, even if they would be find in the current
directory as well.
Change addClangLibSearchPaths to append to the list like all other
operations on searchPaths - but move the invocation of the
function to the right place in the sequence.
This fixes#67779.

Flang-rt is the new library target for the flang runtime libraries. It builds the Flang-rt library (which contains the sources of FortranRuntime and FortranDecimal) and the Fortran_main library. See documentation in this patch for detailed description (flang-rt/docs/GettingStarted.md).
This patch aims to:
- integrate Flang's runtime into existing llvm infrasturcture so that Flang's runtime can be built similarly to other runtimes via the runtimes target or via the llvm target as an enabled runtime
- decouple the FortranDecimal library sources that were used by both compiler and runtime so that different build configurations can be applied for compiler vs runtime
- add support for running flang-rt testsuites, which were created by migrating relevant tests from `flang/test` and `flang/unittest` to `flang-rt/test` and `flang-rt/unittest`, using a new `check-flang-rt` target.
- provide documentation on how to build and use the new FlangRT runtime

We are brining a new algorithm for function layout (reordering) based on the
call graph (extracted from a profile data). The algorithm is an improvement of
top of a known heuristic, C^3. It tries to co-locate hot and frequently executed
together functions in the resulting ordering. Unlike C^3, it explores a larger
search space and have an objective closely tied to the performance of
instruction and i-TLB caches. Hence, the name CDS = Cache-Directed Sort.
The algorithm can be used at the linking or post-linking (e.g., BOLT) stage.
Refer to https://reviews.llvm.org/D152834 for the actual implementation of the
reordering algorithm.
This diff adds a linker option to replace the existing C^3 heuristic with CDS.
The new behavior can be turned on by passing "--use-cache-directed-sort".
(the plan is to make it default in a next diff)
**Perf-impact**
clang-10 binary (built with LTO+AutoFDO/CSSPGO): wins on top of C^3 in [0.3%..0.8%]
rocksDB-8 binary (built with LTO+CSSPGO): wins on top of C^3 in [0.8%..1.5%]
Note that function layout affects the perf the most on older machines (with
smaller instruction/iTLB caches) and when huge pages are not enabled. The impact
on newer processors with huge pages enabled is likely neutral/minor.
