The ARM architecture uses the LSB bit for ARM/Thumb mode switch
flagging. This is true for alignments of 2 and 4 but in data
relocations the alignment is 1 allowing the LSB bit to be set.
Now only `ELF::STT_FUNC` typed symbols are used in the
TargetFlag mechanism.
The test is a minimal example of the issue mentioned below.
Fixes#95911 "Orc global constructor order test fails on 32
bit ARM".
This stub type loads an absolute address directly into the PC register.
It's the simplest and most compatible way to implement a branch
indirection across the entire address space (and probably the slowest as
well). It's the ideal fallback for all targets for which we did not
(yet) implement a more performant solution.
`R_ARM_PREL31` is a 31-bits relative data relocation where the
most-significant bit is preserved. It's used primarily in `.ARM.exidx`
sections, which we skipped processing until now, because we didn't
support the relocation type. This was implemented in RuntimeDyld with
https://reviews.llvm.org/D25069 and I implemented it in a similar way in
JITLink in order to reach feature parity.
Reading implicit addend from a relocation site doesn't require a complete
`LinkGraph` edge. The operation is independent from `TargetSymbol`,
but constructing an `Edge` instance required one. This patch fixes the
inconsistency and simplifies some setup code from the error unittests.
Furthermore this patch prepares for the `Arm`/`Thumb`/`Data` helper
functions to be turned into implementation details. Exposing them in the
API causes unfortunate inconsistencies that we don't want to error-check
all the time, e.g. passing `Thumb_Call` to `readAddendArm()`.
Support for ELF::R_ARM_THM_MOVW_PREL_NC and ELF::R_ARM_THM_MOVT_PREL
is added. Move instructions with PC-relative immediates can be handled
in Thumb mode with this addition.
Note that llvm::support::endianness has been renamed to
llvm::endianness while becoming an enum class as opposed to an
enum. This patch replaces support::{big,little,native} with
llvm::endianness::{big,little,native}.
Now that llvm::support::endianness has been renamed to
llvm::endianness, we can use the shorter form. This patch replaces
support::endianness with llvm::endianness.
Add support for static Arm relocations of R_ARM_MOVT_ABS and R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC
which are emitted by movt and movw instructions. The implementation contains
relocation fixup and its testing as well as its encode/decode functions for
reading and writing immediate values together with its unittests.
D149522 introduced target features to LinkGraph. However, to avoid a
public dependency on MC, the features were stored in a std::vector
instead of using SubtargetFeatures directly.
Since SubtargetFeatures was moved from MC to TargetParser (D150549), we
can now use it directly to store the features. This patch implements
that and removes the (private) dependency on MC.

This patch adds SubtargetFeatures to LinkGraph. Similar to Triple, some
targets might use this information while linking.
One example, and the reason this patch was written, is linker relaxation
on RISC-V: different relaxations are possible depending on if the C
extension is enabled.
Note that the features are stored as `std::vector<std::string>` to prevent a
public dependency on MC. There is still a private dependency to be able to
convert SubtargetFeatures to a vector.

We create LinkGraph sections with NoAlloc lifetime now since f05ac803ffe76c7f4299a4e1288cc6bb8b098410
This means we do process debug info sections now with all their relocations. That's ok for the moment.
This first version lays the foundations for AArch32 support in JITLink. ELFLinkGraphBuilder_aarch32 processes REL-type relocations and populates LinkGraphs from ELF object files for both big- and little-endian systems. The ArmCfg member controls subarchitecture-specific details throughout the linking process (i.e. it's passed to ELFJITLinker_aarch32).
Relocation types follow the ABI documentation's division into classes: Data (endian-sensitive), Arm (32-bit little-endian) and Thumb (2x 16-bit little-endian, "Thumb32" in the docs). The implementation of instruction encoding/decoding for relocation resolution is implemented symmetrically and is testable in isolation (see AArch32 category in JITLinkTests).
Callable Thumb functions are marked with a ThumbSymbol target-flag and stored in the LinkGraph with their real addresses. The thumb-bit is added back in when the owning JITDylib requests the address for such a symbol.
The StubsManager can generate (absolute) Thumb-state stubs for branch range extensions on v7+ targets. Proper GOT/PLT handling is not yet implemented.
This patch is based on the backend implementation in ez-clang and has just enough functionality to model the infrastructure and link a Thumb function `main()` that calls `printf()` to dump "Hello Arm!" on Armv7a. It was tested on Raspberry Pi with 32-bit Raspbian OS.
