Without these explicit includes, removing other headers, who implicitly
include llvm-config.h, may have non-trivial side effects. For example,
`clangd` may report even `llvm-config.h` as "no used" in case it defines
a macro, that is explicitly used with #ifdef. It is actually amplified
with different build configs which use different set of macros.
Ctx was introduced in March 2022 as a more suitable place for such
singletons.
llvm/Support/thread.h includes <thread>, which transitively includes
sstream in libc++ and uses ios_base::in, so we cannot use `#define in ctx.sec`.
`symtab, config, ctx` are now the only variables using
LLVM_LIBRARY_VISIBILITY.
Ctx was introduced in March 2022 as a more suitable place for such

bufferStart and tlsPhdr, which are not OutputSection, can now be moved
outside of `Out`.
... using the temporary section type code 0x40000020
(`clang -c -Wa,--crel,--allow-experimental-crel`). LLVM will change the
code and break compatibility (Clang and lld of different versions are
not guaranteed to cooperate, unlike other features). CREL with implicit
addends are not supported.

Introduce `RelsOrRelas::crels` to iterate over SHT_CREL sections and
update users to check `crels`.
(The decoding performance is critical and error checking is difficult.
Follow `skipLeb` and `R_*LEB128` handling, do not use
`llvm::decodeULEB128`, whichs compiles to a lot of code.)
A few users (e.g. .eh_frame, LLDDwarfObj, s390x) require random access. Pass
`/*supportsCrel=*/false` to `relsOrRelas` to allocate a buffer and
convert CREL to RELA (`relas` instead of `crels` will be used). Since
allocating a buffer increases, the conversion is only performed when
absolutely necessary.
---
Non-alloc SHT_CREL sections may be created in -r and --emit-relocs
links. SHT_CREL and SHT_RELA components need reencoding since
r_offset/r_symidx/r_type/r_addend may change. (r_type may change because
relocations referencing a symbol in a discarded section are converted to
`R_*_NONE`).
* SHT_CREL components: decode with `RelsOrRelas` and re-encode (`OutputSection::finalizeNonAllocCrel`)
* SHT_RELA components: convert to CREL (`relToCrel`). An output section can only have one relocation section.
* SHT_REL components: print an error for now.
SHT_REL to SHT_CREL conversion for -r/--emit-relocs is complex and
unsupported yet.

--compress-debug-sections in GNU ld, gas, and LLVM integrated assembler
retain the uncompressed content if the compressed content is larger.
This patch also updates the manpage (-O2 does not enable zlib level 6)
and fixes a crash of --compress-sections when the uncompressed section
is empty.
When enabled, input sections that would otherwise overflow a memory
region are instead spilled to the next matching output section.
This feature parallels the one in GNU LD, but there are some differences
from its documented behavior:
- /DISCARD/ only matches previously-unmatched sections (i.e., the flag
does not affect it).
- If a section fails to fit at any of its matches, the link fails
instead of discarding the section.
- The flag --enable-non-contiguous-regions-warnings is not implemented,
as it exists to warn about such occurrences.
The implementation places stubs at possible spill locations, and
replaces them with the original input section when effecting spills.
Spilling decisions occur after address assignment. Sections are spilled
in reverse order of assignment, with each spill naively decreasing the
size of the affected memory regions. This continues until the memory
regions are brought back under size. Spilling anything causes another
pass of address assignment, and this continues to fixed point.
Spilling after rather than during assignment allows the algorithm to
consider the size effects of unspillable input sections that appear
later in the assignment. Otherwise, such sections (e.g. thunks) may
force an overflow, even if spilling something earlier could have avoided
it.
A few notable feature interactions occur:
- Stubs affect alignment, ONLY_IF_RO, etc, broadly as if a copy of the
input section were actually placed there.
- SHF_MERGE synthetic sections use the spill list of their first
contained input section (the one that gives the section its name).
- ICF occurs oblivious to spill sections; spill lists for merged-away
sections become inert and are removed after assignment.
- SHF_LINK_ORDER and .ARM.exidx are ordered according to the final
section ordering, after all spilling has completed.
- INSERT BEFORE/AFTER and OVERWRITE_SECTIONS are explicitly disallowed.

zstd excels at scaling from low-ratio-very-fast to
high-ratio-pretty-slow. Some users prioritize speed and prefer disk read
speed, while others focus on achieving the highest compression ratio
possible, similar to traditional high-ratio codecs like LZMA.
Add an optional `level` to `--compress-sections` (#84855) to cater to
these diverse needs. While we initially aimed for a one-size-fits-all
approach, this no longer seems to work.

When --compress-debug-sections is used together, make
--compress-sections take precedence since --compress-sections is usually
more specific.
Remove the level distinction between -O/-O1 and -O2 for
--compress-debug-sections=zlib for a more consistent user experience.

The function may return Z_MEM_ERROR or Z_STREAM_ERR. The former does not
have a good way of testing. The latter will be possible with a pending
change that allows setting the compression level, which will come with a
test.
https://reviews.llvm.org/D133679 utilizes zstd's multithread API to
create one single frame. This provides a higher compression ratio but is
significantly slower than concatenating multiple frames.
With manual parallelism, it is easier to parallelize memcpy in
OutputSection::writeTo for parallel memcpy.
In addition, as the individual allocated decompression buffers are much
smaller, we can make a wild guess (compressed_size/4) without worrying
about a resize (due to wrong guess) would waste memory.
--compress-sections <section-glib>=[none|zlib|zstd] is similar to
--compress-debug-sections but applies to broader sections without the
SHF_ALLOC flag. lld will report an error if a SHF_ALLOC section is
matched. An interesting use case is to compress `.strtab`/`.symtab`,
which consume a significant portion of the file size (15.1% for a
release build of Clang).
An older revision is available at https://reviews.llvm.org/D154641 .
This patch focuses on non-allocated sections for safety. Moving
`maybeCompress` as D154641 does not handle STT_SECTION symbols for
`-r --compress-debug-sections=zlib` (see `relocatable-section-symbol.s`
from #66804).
Since different output sections may use different compression
algorithms, we need CompressedData::type to generalize
config->compressDebugSections.

On Windows when zlib is enabled, zlib header introduced some Windows
headers which defines max as a macro. Since OutputSections.cpp uses
std::max with template argument, this causes compilation error.
Define macro NOMINMAX to avoid this.
.plt and .branch_lt have the type of SHT_NOBITS and may be relocated by dynamic
relocations with non-zero addends. They should be skipped for the
--check-dynamic-relocations check, as --apply-dynamic-relocs does not apply.
A side effect is that -z rel does not work for the two sections.
Added two --apply-dynamic-relocs --check-dynamic-relocations tests. Also checked
linking a PPC64 clang.
Arm has BE8 big endian configuration called a byte-invariant(every byte has the same address on little and big-endian systems).
When in BE8 mode:
1. Instructions are big-endian in relocatable objects but
little-endian in executables and shared objects.
2. Data is big-endian.
3. The data encoding of the ELF file is ELFDATA2MSB.
To support BE8 without an ABI break for relocatable objects,the linker takes on the responsibility of changing the endianness of instructions. At a high level the only difference between BE32 and BE8 in the linker is that for BE8:
1. The linker sets the flag EF_ARM_BE8 in the ELF header.
2. The linker endian reverses the instructions, but not data.
This patch adds BE8 big endian support for Arm. To endian reverse the instructions we'll need access to the mapping symbols. Code sections can contain a mix of Arm, Thumb and literal data. We need to endian reverse Arm instructions as words, Thumb instructions
as half-words and ignore literal data.The only way to find these transitions precisely is by using mapping symbols. The instruction reversal will need to take place after relocation. For Arm BE8 code sections (Section has SHF_EXECINSTR flag ) we inserted a step after relocation to endian reverse the instructions. The implementation strategy i have used here is to write all sections BE32 including SyntheticSections then endian reverse all code in InputSections via mapping symbols.

Much of NOLOAD's intended use is to explicitly change the type of an
output section, so we shouldn't flag these as warnings.

In a link map, the input section name gives more information. See the updated
merge-entsize.s for an example. The output file is unchanged.
Compiler generated input sections with the SHF_MERGE flag have names such as
.rodata.str1.1 and .rodata.cstN, and are not affected by -fdata-sections.

This patch allows to specify that some part of tasks should be
done in sequential order. It makes it possible to not use
condition operator for separating sequential tasks:
TaskGroup tg;
for () {
if(condition) ==> tg.spawn([](){fn();}, condition)
fn();
else
tg.spawn([](){fn();});
}
It also prevents execution on main thread. Which allows adding
checks for getThreadIndex() function discussed in D142318.
The patch also replaces std::stack with std::deque in the
ThreadPoolExecutor to have natural execution order in case
(parallel::strategy.ThreadsRequested == 1).
