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

af744f0b84e2b6410be65277068b9033124c73b2, the toolchain/clang

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

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.

https://reviews.llvm.org/D48929 updated addends for non-SHF_ALLOC sections
relocated by REL for -r links, but the patch did not update the addends when
--compress-debug-sections={zlib,zstd} is used (#66738).
https://reviews.llvm.org/D116946 handled tombstone values in debug
sections in relocatable links. As a side effect, both
relocateNonAllocForRelocatable (using `sec->relocations`) and
relocatenonNonAlloc (using raw REL/RELA) may run.
Actually, we can adjust the condition in relocatenonAlloc to completely replace
relocateNonAllocForRelocatable. This patch implements this idea and fixes#66738.
As relocateNonAlloc processes the raw relocations like copyRelocations() does,
the condition `if (config->relocatable && type != target.noneRel)` in `copyRelocations`
(commit 08d6a3f1337238a480225d4caf71b8fec10dc8c6, modified by https://reviews.llvm.org/D62052)
can be made specific to SHF_ALLOC sections.
As a side effect, we can now report diagnostics for PC-relative relocations for
-r. This is a less useful diagnostic that is not worth too much code. As
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1937 has violations, just
suppress the warning for -r. Tested by commit 561b98f9e025363b416f4e89af750d01d1e8c4cc.
The size of .ARM.exidx may shrink across `assignAddress` calls. It is

that the initial iteration has a larger location counter, causing
`__code_size =

the error would
have been suppressed for subsequent `assignAddress` iterations.
Other sections like .relr.dyn may change sizes across `assignAddress`
calls as
well. However, their initial size is zero, so it is difficiult to
trigger a
similar error.
Similar to https://reviews.llvm.org/D152170, postpone the error

When enabling WPD in an environment where native binaries are present, types we want to optimize can be derived from inside these native files and devirtualizing them can lead to correctness issues. RTTI can be used as a way to determine all such types in native files and exclude them from WPD providing a safe checked way to enable WPD.
The approach is:
1. In the linker, identify if RTTI is available for all native types. If not, under `--lto-validate-all-vtables-have-type-infos` `--lto-whole-program-visibility` is automatically disabled. This is done by examining all .symtab symbols in object files and .dynsym symbols in DSOs for vtable (_ZTV) and typeinfo (_ZTI) symbols and ensuring there's always a match for every vtable symbol.
2. During thinlink, if `--lto-validate-all-vtables-have-type-infos` is set and RTTI is available for all native types, identify all typename (_ZTS) symbols via their corresponding typeinfo (_ZTI) symbols that are used natively or outside of our summary and exclude them from WPD.
Testing:
ninja check-all
large Meta service that uses boost, glog and libstdc++.so runs successfully with WPD via --lto-whole-program-visibility. Previously, native types in boost caused incorrect devirtualization that led to crashes.

.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.
The import library thunk name suffix uses the stem of the file. We
currently would attempt to trim the suffix by dropping the trailing 4
characters (under the assumption that the output name was `.lib`). This
now uses the `llvm::sys::path` API for computing the stem. This avoids
an assertion failure when the name is less the 4 characters and
assertions are enabled.
Close#57618: currently we align the end of PT_GNU_RELRO to a
common-page-size
boundary, but do not align the end of the associated PT_LOAD. This is
benign
when runtime_page_size >= common-page-size.
However, when runtime_page_size < common-page-size, it is possible that
`alignUp(end(PT_LOAD), page_size) < alignDown(end(PT_GNU_RELRO),
page_size)`.
In this case, rtld's mprotect call for PT_GNU_RELRO will apply to
unmapped
regions and lead to an error, e.g.
```
error while loading shared libraries: cannot apply additional memory protection after relocation: Cannot allocate memory
```
To fix the issue, add a padding section .relro_padding like mold, which
is contained in the PT_GNU_RELRO segment and the associated PT_LOAD
segment. The section also prevents strip from corrupting PT_LOAD program
headers.
.relro_padding has the largest `sortRank` among RELRO sections.
Therefore, it is naturally placed at the end of `PT_GNU_RELRO` segment
in the absence of `PHDRS`/`SECTIONS` commands.
In the presence of `SECTIONS` commands, we place .relro_padding
immediately before a symbol assignment using DATA_SEGMENT_RELRO_END (see
also https://reviews.llvm.org/D124656), if present.
DATA_SEGMENT_RELRO_END is changed to align to max-page-size instead of
common-page-size.
Some edge cases worth mentioning:
* ppc64-toc-addis-nop.s: when PHDRS is present, do not append
.relro_padding
* avoid-empty-program-headers.s: when the only RELRO section is .tbss,
it is not part of PT_LOAD segment, therefore we do not append
.relro_padding.

Close#65002: GNU ld from 2.39 onwards aligns the end of PT_GNU_RELRO to
a
max-page-size boundary (https://sourceware.org/PR28824) so that the last
page is
protected even if runtime_page_size > common-page-size.
In my opinion, losing protection for the last page when the runtime page
size is
larger than common-page-size is not really an issue. Double mapping a
page of up
to max-common-page for the protection could cause undesired VM waste.
Internally
we had users complaining about 2MiB max-page-size applying to shared
objects.
Therefore, the end of .relro_padding is padded to a common-page-size
boundary. Users who are really anxious can set common-page-size to match
their runtime page size.

17 tests need updating as there are lots of change detectors.
Fix#64600: the currently implementation is minimal (see

`__TEXT_REGION_ORIGIN__ = DEFINED(__TEXT_REGION_ORIGIN__) ? __TEXT_REGION_ORIGIN__ : 0;`
(used by avr-ld[1]) leads to a value of zero (default value in `declareSymbol`),
which is unexpected.
Assign orders to symbol assignments and references so that
for a script-defined symbol, the `DEFINED` results match users'
expectation. I am unclear about GNU ld's exact behavior, but this hopefully
matches its behavior in the majority of cases.

When there are multiple catch-all patterns (i.e. a single `*`), GNU ld and gold

This change was inspired by a correction made by Michael Kerrisk to a blog post

following the current lld rules.
Note: GNU ld prefers global: patterns to local: patterns, which might seem
awkward (https://www.airs.com/blog/archives/300). gold doesn't follow this
behavior, and we do not either.
Linker relaxation may change relocations (offsets and types). However,
when --emit-relocs is used, relocations are simply copied from the input
section causing a mismatch with the corresponding (relaxed) code
section.
This patch fixes this as follows: for non-relocatable RISC-V binaries,
`InputSection::copyRelocations` reads relocations from the relocated
section's `relocations` array (since this gets updated by the relaxation
code). For all other cases, relocations are read from the input section
directly as before.
In order to reuse as much code as possible, and to keep the diff small,
the original `InputSection::copyRelocations` is changed to accept the
relocations as a range of `Relocation` objects. This means that, in the
general case when reading from the input section, raw relocations need
to be converted to `Relocation`s first, which introduces quite a bit of
boiler plate. It also means there's a slight code size increase due to
the extra instantiations of `copyRelocations` (for both range types).

The module paths string table mapped to both an id sequentially assigned
during LTO linking, and the module hash. The former is leftover from
before the module hash was added for caching and subsequently replaced
use of the module id when renaming promoted symbols (to avoid affects
due to link order changes). The sequentially assigned module id was not
removed, however, as it was still a convenience when serializing to/from
bitcode and assembly.
This patch removes the module id from this table, since it isn't
strictly needed and can lead to confusion on when it is appropriate to
use (e.g. see fix in D156525). It also takes a (likely not significant)
amount of overhead. Where an integer module id is needed (e.g. bitcode
writing), one is assigned on the fly.
There are a couple of test changes since the paths are now sorted
alphanumerically when assigning ids on the fly during assembly writing,
in order to ensure deterministic behavior.

The ELF linker has even more LTO options available, but not
all of these are currently settable via the lld-link option

LLD resolves symbols before performing LTO compilation, assuming that the symbols in question are resolved by the resulting object files from LTO. However, there is a scenario where the prevailing symbols might be resolved incorrectly due to specific assembly symbols not appearing in the symbol table of the bitcode.

This patch adds support to lld for --fat-lto-objects. We add a new
--fat-lto-objects option to LLD, and slightly change how it chooses input
files in the driver when the option is set.
Fat LTO objects contain both LTO compatible IR, as well as generated object
code. This allows users to defer the choice of whether to use LTO or not to
link-time. This is a feature available in GCC for some time, and makes the
existing -ffat-lto-objects option functional in the same way as GCC's.
If the --fat-lto-objects option is passed to LLD and the input files are fat
object files, then the linker will chose the LTO compatible bitcode sections
embedded within the fat object and link them together using LTO. Otherwise,
standard object file linking is done using the assembly section in the object
files.
The previous version of this patch had a missing `REQUIRES: x86` line in
`fatlto.invalid.s`. Additionally, it was reported that this patch caused
a test failure in `export-dynamic-symbols.s`, however,

LLD resolves symbols regardless of LTO modes early when reading and parsing input files in order. The object files built from LTO passes are appended later.
Because LLD eagerly resolves the LC linker options while parsing a new object file (and its chain of dependent libraries), the prior decision on pending prevailing symbols (belonging to some bitcode files) can change to ones in those native libraries that are just loaded.
This patch delays processing LC linker options until all the native object files are added after LTO is done, similar to LD64. This way we preserve the decision on prevailing symbols LLD made, regardless of LTO modes.
- When parsing a new object file in `parseLinkerOptions()`, it just parses LC linker options in the header, and saves those contents to `unprocessedLCLinkerOptions`.
- After LTO is finished, `resolveLCLinkerOptions()` is called to recursively load dependent libraries, starting with initial linker options collected in `unprocessedLCLinkerOptions` (which also updates during recursions)
