This is a part of InputGraph cleanup to represent input files as a flat
list of Files (and some meta-nodes for group etc.)
We cannot achieve that goal in one gigantic patch, so I split the task
into small steps as shown below.
(Recap the progress so far: Currently InputGraph contains a list of
InputElements. Each InputElement contain one File (that used to have
multiple Files, but I eliminated that use case in r223867). Files are
currently instantiated in Driver::link(), but I already made a change
to separate file parsing from object instantiation (r224102), so we
can safely instantiate Files when we need them, instead of wrapping
a file with the wrapper class (FileNode class). InputGraph used to
act like a generator class by interpreting groups by itself, but it's
now just a container of a list of InputElements (r223867).)
1. Instantiate Files in the driver and wrap them with WrapperNode.
WrapperNode is a temporary class that allows us to instantiate Files
in the driver while keep using the current InputGraph data structure.
This patch demonstrates how this step 1 looks like, using Core driver
as an example.
2. Do the same thing for the other drivers.
When step 2 is done, an InputGraph consists of GroupEnd objects or
WrapperNodes each of which contains one File. Other types of
FileNode subclasses are removed.
3. Replace InputGraph with std::vector<std::unique_ptr<InputElement>>.
InputGraph is already just a container of list of InputElements,
so this step removes that needless class.
4. Remove WrapperNode.
We need some code cleanup between each step, because many classes
do a bit odd things (e.g. InputGraph::getGroupSize()). I'll straight
things up as I need to.

ReaderErrorCategory was used only at one place. We now have a
DynamicErrorCategory for this kind of one-time error, so use it.
The calling function doesn't really care the type of an error, so
ReaderErrorCategory was actually dead code.
llvm-svn: 224245
These member functions returns either no_more_files error or a File object.
We could simply return a nullptr instead of a no_more_files.
This function will be removed soon as a part of InputGraph cleanup.
I had to do that step by step.

The documentation of parseFile() said that "the resulting File
object may take ownership of the MemoryBuffer." So, whether or not
the ownership of a MemoryBuffer would be taken was not clear.
A FileNode (a subclass of InputElement, which is being deprecated)
keeps the ownership if a File doesn't take it.
This patch makes File always take the ownership of a buffer.
Buffers lifespan is not always the same as File instances.
Files are able to deallocate buffers after parsing the contents.

This reverts commit r223330 because it broke Darwin and ELF
linkers in a way that we couldn't have caught with the existing
test cases.

The aim of this patch is to reduce the excessive abstraction from
the InputGraph. We found that even a simple thing, such as sorting
input files (Mach-O) or adding a new file to the input file list
(PE/COFF), is nearly impossible with the InputGraph abstraction,
because it hides too much information behind it. As a result,
we invented complex interactions between components (e.g.
notifyProgress() mechanism) and tricky code to work around that
limitation. There were many occasions that we needed to write
awkward code.
This patch is a first step to make it cleaner. As a first step,
this removes Group class from the InputGraph. The grouping feature
is now directly handled by the Resolver. notifyProgress is removed
since we no longer need that. I could have cleaned it up even more,
but in order to keep the patch minimum, I focused on Group.
SimpleFileNode class, a container of File objects, is now limited
to have only one File. We shold have done this earlier.
We used to allow putting multiple File objects to FileNode.
Although SimpleFileNode usually has only one file, the Driver class
actually used that capability. I modified the Driver class a bit,
so that one FileNode is created for each input File.
We should now probably remove SimpleFileNode and directly store
File objects to the InputGraph in some way, because a container
that can contain only one object is useless. This is a TODO.
Mach-O input files are now sorted before they are passe to the
Resolver. DarwinInputGraph class is no longer needed, so removed.
PECOFF still has hacky code to add a new file to the input file list.
This will be cleaned up in another patch.

RoundTripPasses should always be called in DEBUG mode if the environment
variable "LLD_RUN_ROUNDTRIP_TEST" is set.
Flavors should not be able to override this behavior.
llvm-svn: 223073
This would allow other flavor specific contexts to override the default value,
if they want to optionally run the round trip passes.
There is some information lost like the original file owner of the atom with
RoundTripPasses. The Gnu flavor needs this information inorder to implement
LinkerScript matching and for other diagnostic outputs such as Map files.
The flag also can be used to record information in the Atom if the information
to the Writer needs to be conveyed through References too.

On darwin in final linked images, the __TEXT segment covers that start of the
file. That means in memory a process can see the mach_header (and load commands)
for every loaded image in a process. There are APIs that take and return the
mach_header addresses as a way to specify a particular loaded image.
For completeness, any code can get the address of the mach_header of the image
it is in by using &__dso_handle. In addition there are mach-o type specific
symbols like __mh_execute_header.
The linker needs to supply a definition for any of these symbols if used. But
the address the symbol it resolves to is not in any section. Instead it is the
address of the start of the __TEXT segment.
I needed to make a small change to SimpleFileNode to not override
resetNextIndex() because the Driver creates a SimpleFileNode to hold the
internal/implicit files that the context/writer can create. For some reason
SimpleFileNode overrode resetNextIndex() to do nothing instead of reseting
the index (which mach-o needs if the internal file is an archive).

Darwin uses two-level-namespace lookup for symbols which means the static
linker records where each symbol must be found at runtime. Thus defining a
symbol in a dylib loaded earlier will not effect where symbols needed by
later dylibs will be found. Instead overriding is done through a section
of type S_INTERPOSING which contains tuples of <interposer, interposee>.

The job of the CompactUnwind pass is to turn __compact_unwind data (and
__eh_frame) into the compressed final form in __unwind_info. After it's done,
the original atoms are no longer relevant and should be deleted (they cause
problems during actual execution, quite apart from the fact that they're not
needed).

The darwin linker operates differently than the gnu linker with respect to
libraries. The darwin linker first links in all object files from the command
line, then to resolve any remaining undefines, it repeatedly iterates over
libraries on the command line until either all undefines are resolved or no
undefines were resolved in the last pass.
When Shankar made the InputGraph model, the plan for darwin was for the darwin
driver to place all libraries in a group at the end of the InputGraph. Thus
making the darwin model a subset of the gnu model. But it turns out that does
not work because the driver cannot tell if a file is an object or library until
it has been loaded, which happens later.
This solution is to subclass InputGraph for darwin and just iterate the graph
the way darwin linker needs.

Previously, we would not check the target machine type and the module (object)
machine type. Add a check to ensure that we do not attempt to use an object
file with a different target architecture.
This change identified a couple of tests which were incorrectly mixing up
architecture types, using x86 input for a x64 target. Adjust the tests
appropriately. The renaming of the input and the architectures covers the
changes to the existing tests.
One significant change to the existing tests is that the newly added test input
for x64 uses the correct user label prefix for X64.

Rather than a series of cascading ifs, use a switch statement to convert the
error code to a string. This has the benefit of allowing the compiler to inform
us if we ever add a new error code but fail to update the string representation.
Add in stringified versions for a couple of missing InputGraphErrors.

The mergeByContent attribute on DefinedAtoms triggers the symbol table to
coalesce atoms with the exact same content. The problem is that atoms can also
have a required custom section. The coalescing should never change the custom
section of an atom.
The fix is to only consider to atoms to have the same content if their
sectionChoice() and customSectionName() attributes match.
llvm-svn: 218893
No functionality change. This removes a down-cast from LinkingContext to
MachOLinkingContext.
Also, remove const from LinkingContext::createImplicitFiles() to remove
the need for another const cast. Seems reasonable for createImplicitFiles()
to need to modify the context (MachOLinkingContext does).
llvm-svn: 218796
The darwin linker has the -demangle option which directs it to demangle C++
(and soon Swift) mangled symbol names. Long term we need some Diagnostics object
for formatting errors and warnings. But for now we have the Core linker just
writing messages to llvm::errs(). So, to enable demangling, I changed the
Resolver to call a LinkingContext method on the symbol name.
To make this more interesting, the demangling code is done via __cxa_demangle()
which is part of the C++ ABI, which is only supported on some platforms, so I
had to conditionalize the code with the config generated HAVE_CXXABI_H.

This is a minimally useful pass to construct the __unwind_info section in a
final object from the various __compact_unwind inputs. Currently it doesn't
produce any compressed pages, only works for x86_64 and will fail if any
function ends up without __compact_unwind.

defined in a shared library.
Now LLD does not export a strong defined symbol if it coalesces away a
weak symbol defined in a shared library. This bug affects all ELF
architectures and leads to segfault:
% cat foo.c
extern int __attribute__((weak)) flag;
int foo() { return flag; }
% cat main.c
int flag = 1;
int foo();
int main() { return foo() == 1 ? 0 : -1; }
% clang -c -fPIC foo.c main.c
% lld -flavor gnu -target x86_64 -shared -o libfoo.so ... foo.o
% lld -flavor gnu -target x86_64 -o a.out ... main.o libfoo.so
% ./a.out
Segmentation fault
The problem is caused by the fact that we lose all information about
coalesced symbols after the `Resolver::resolve()` method is finished.
The patch solves the problem by overriding the
`LinkingContext::notifySymbolTableCoalesce()` method and saving names
of coalesced symbols. Later in the `buildDynamicSymbolTable()` routine
we use this information to export these symbols.
llvm-svn: 217363
This is the one interesting aspect from:
http://reviews.llvm.org/D4965
These hooks are useful for flavor specific processing, such as recording that
a DefinedAtom replaced a weak SharedLibraryAtom.

insertElementAt(x, END) does the identical thing as addInputElement(x),
so the only reasonable use of insertElementAt is to call it with the
other possible argument, BEGIN. That means the second parameter of the
function is just redundant. This patch is to remove the second
parameter and rename the function accordingly.
llvm-svn: 213821
COFF supports a feature similar to ELF's section groups. This
patch implements it.
In ELF, section groups are identified by their names, and they are
treated somewhat differently from regular symbols. In COFF, the
feature is realized in a more straightforward way. A section can
have an annotation saying "if Nth section is linked, link this
section too."
I added a new reference type, kindAssociate. If a target atom is
coalesced away, the referring atom is removed by Resolver, so that
they are treated as a group.

This code was never being used and any use of it would look fairly strange.
For example, it would try to map a NativeReaderError::file_malformed to
std::errc::invalid_argument.

isCoalescedAway(x) is faster than replacement(x) != x as the former
does not follow the replacement atom chain. Also it's easier to use.
