The few options are niche. They solved a problem which was traditionally solved
with more shell commands (`llvm-readelf -n` fetches the Build ID. Then
`ln` is used to hard link the file to a directory derived from the Build ID.)
Due to limitation, they are no longer used by Fuchsia and they don't appear to
be used elsewhere (checked with Google Search and Debian Code Search). So delete
them without a transition period.

We already set the `sh_entsize` field in a single place
for all non-implicit sections.
This patch reorders the logic slightly and with it
we finally have the only one place where the `sh_entsize` is set.
obj2yaml will not dump the `EntSize` key for `SHT_DYNSYM/SHT_SYMTAB` sections anymore,
when the value of `sh_entsize` is equal to `sizeof(Elf_Sym)`
Note that this also seems revealed an issue in llvm-objcopy:
Previously yaml2obj set the `sh_entsize` for the `.symtab` section to 0x18,
now we it sets it for `SHT_SYMTAB` sections, i.e. by type.
But the `llvm-objcopy/ELF/only-keep-debug.test` has a `.symtab` section of type `SHT_STRTAB`,
and now yaml2obj sets the `sh_entsize` to 0 for it.
I had to update the corresponding check lines for `ES`, but the behavior of
`llvm-objcopy` should be fixed instead I think.
I've added a TODO and a comment.

Alternative to D74755. sectionWithinSegment() treats an empty section as having
a size of 1. Due to the rule, an empty .tdata will not be attributed to an
empty PT_TLS. (The empty p_align=64 PT_TLS is for Android Bionic's TCB
compatibility (ELF-TLS). See https://reviews.llvm.org/D62055#1507426)
Currently --only-keep-debug will not layout a segment with no section
(layoutSegmentsForOnlyKeepDebug()), thus p_offset of PT_TLS can go past the end
of the file. The strange p_offset can trigger validation errors for subsequent
tools, e.g. llvm-objcopy errors when reading back the separate debug file
(readProgramHeaders()).
This patch places such an empty segment according to its parent segment. This
special cases works for the empty PT_TLS used in Android. For a non-empty
segment, it should have at least one non-empty section and will be handled by
the normal code. Note, p_memsz PT_LOAD is rejected by both Linux and FreeBSD.

Imagine we have a YAML declaration of few sections: `foo1`, `<unnamed 2>`, `foo3`, `foo4`.
To put them into segment we can do (1*):
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
- Section: foo4
```
or we can use (2*):
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
- Section: foo3
- Section: foo4
```
or (3*) :
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
## "(index 2)" here is a name that we automatically created for a unnamed section.
- Section: (index 2)
- Section: foo3
- Section: foo4
```
It looks really confusing that we don't have to list all of sections.
At first I've tried to make this rule stricter and report an error when there is a gap
(i.e. when a section is included into segment, but not listed explicitly).
This did not work perfect, because such approach conflicts with unnamed sections/fills (see (3*)).
This patch drops "Sections" key and introduces 2 keys instead: `FirstSec` and `LastSec`.
Both are optional.

Currently `--relocations` ignores section symbol names and always prints

We have a code in `getFullSymbolName` (which is used for `--symbols`) which can be

"[llvm-dev] Multiple documents in one test file" for some discussions.
`extract part filename` splits the input file into multiple parts separated by
regex `^(.|//)--- ` and extract the specified part to stdout or the
output file (if specified).
Use case A (organizing input of different formats (e.g. linker
script+assembly) in one file).
```
// RUN: extract lds %s -o %t.lds
// RUN: extract asm %s -o %t.s
// RUN: llvm-mc %t.s -o %t.o
// RUN: ld.lld -T %t.lds %t.o -o %t
This is sometimes better than the %S/Inputs/ approach because the user
can see the auxiliary files immediately and don't have to open another file.
```
Use case B (for utilities which don't have built-in input splitting
feature):
```
// RUN: extract case1 %s | llc | FileCheck %s --check-prefix=CASE1
// RUN: extract case2 %s | llc | FileCheck %s --check-prefix=CASE2
Combing tests prudently can improve readability.
This is sometimes better than having multiple test files.
```
Since this is a new utility, there is no git history concerns for
UpperCase variable names. I use lowerCase variable names like mlir/lld.

For describing section/symbol names we can use unique suffixes,

```
- Name: '.foo [1]`

After SHF_ALLOC sections are ordered by LMA:
* If initial sections are empty, GNU objcopy skips their contents while we
emit leading zeros. (binary-paddr.test %t4)
* If trailing sections are empty, GNU objcopy skips their contents while we
emit trailing zeros. (binary-paddr.test %t5)
This patch matches GNU objcopy's behavior. Linkers don't keep p_memsz
PT_LOAD segments. Such empty sections would not have a containing
PT_LOAD and `Section::ParentSegment` might be null if linkers fail to
optimize the file offsets (lld D79254).
In particular, without D79254, the arm Linux kernel's multi_v5_defconfig
depends on this behavior: in `vmlinux`, an empty .text_itcm is mapped at
a very high address (0xfffe0000) but the kernel does not expect
`objcopy -O binary` to create a very large `arch/arm/boot/Image`
(0xfffe0000-0xc0000000 ~= 1GiB). See https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45632

```

to:

And similarly, adds a `Name:` field to the `llvm-readobj -n` output for notes.
This change not only increases GNU compatibility, it also makes it much easier to read notes. Note that we still fall back to printing the file offset/length in cases where we don't have a section name, such as when printing notes in program headers or printing notes in a partially stripped file (GNU readelf does the same).

I've noticed that it is not convenient to create YAMLs from
binaries (using obj2yaml) that have to be test cases for obj2yaml
later (after applying yaml2obj).
The problem, for example is that obj2yaml emits "DynamicSymbols:"
key instead of .dynsym. It also does not create .dynstr.
And when a YAML document without explicitly defined .dynsym/.dynstr
is given to yaml2obj, we have issues:
1) These sections are placed after non-allocatable sections (I've fixed it in D74756).
2) They have VA == 0. User needs create descriptions for such sections explicitly manually
to set a VA.
This patch addresses (2). I suggest to let yaml2obj assign virtual addresses by itself.
It makes an output binary to be much closer to "normal" ELF.
(It is still possible to use "Address: 0x0" for a section to get the original behavior
if it is needed)
