Code for handling TLS relocations was moved out scanRelocs() to new function handleTlsRelocations().
That is because scanRelocs already too large to put more TLS code into it.

Some MIPS relocation (for now R_MIPS_GOT16) requires creation of GOT
entries for symbol not included in the dynamic symbol table. They are
local symbols and non-local symbols with 'local' visibility. Local GOT
entries occupy continuous block between GOT header and regular GOT
entries.
The patch adds initial support for handling local GOT entries. The main
problem is allocating local GOT entries for local symbols. Such entries
should be initialized by high 16-bit of the symbol value. In ideal world
there should be no duplicated entries with the same values. But at the
moment of the `Writer::scanRelocs` call we do not know a value of the
symbol. In this patch we create new local GOT entry for each relocation
against local symbol, though we can exhaust GOT quickly. That needs to
be optimized later. When we calculate relocation we know a final symbol
value and request local GOT entry index. To do that we maintain map
between addresses and local GOT entry indexes. If we start to calculate
relocations in parallel we will have to serialize access to this map.

Added check for terminator CIE/FDE which has zero data size.
void EHOutputSection<ELFT>::addSectionAux(
...
// If CIE/FDE data length is zero then Length is 4, this
// shall be considered a terminator and processing shall end.
if (Length == 4)
break;

After this "Bug 25923 - lld/ELF2 linked application crashes if exceptions were used." is fixed for me. Self link of clang also works.
Initial commit message:
[ELF] - implemented --eh-frame-hdr command line option.
--eh-frame-hdr
Request creation of ".eh_frame_hdr" section and ELF "PT_GNU_EH_FRAME" segment header.
Both gold and the GNU linker support an option --eh-frame-hdr which tell them to construct a header for all the .eh_frame sections. This header is placed in a section named .eh_frame_hdr and also in a PT_GNU_EH_FRAME segment. At runtime the unwinder can find all the PT_GNU_EH_FRAME segments by calling dl_iterate_phdr.
This section contains a lookup table for quick binary search of FDEs.

MIPS ABI has relocations like R_MIPS_JALR which is just a hint for
linker to make some code optimization. Such relocations should not be
handled as a regular ones and lead to say dynamic relocation creation.
The patch introduces new virtual `Target::isHintReloc` method, overrides
it in the `MipsTargetInfo` class and calls it in the `Writer<ELFT>::scanRelocs`
method.

MIPS _gp_disp designates offset between start of function and gp pointer
into GOT therefore any relocations against it do not require dynamic
relocation.
llvm-svn: 257492
On MIPS O32 ABI, _gp_disp is a magic symbol designates offset between
start of function and gp pointer into GOT. To make seal with such symbol
we add new method addIgnoredStrong(). It adds ignored symbol with global
binding to prevent the symbol substitution. The addIgnored call is not
enough here because this call adds a weak symbol which might be
substituted by symbol from shared library.

String tables in unstripped executable files are fairly large in size.
For example, lld's executable file is about 34.4 MB in my environment,
and of which 3.5 MB is the string table. Efficiency of string table
construction matters.
Previously, the string table was built in an inefficient way. We used
StringTableBuilder to build that and enabled string tail merging,
although tail merging is not effective for the symbol table (you can
only make the string table 0.3% smaller for lld.) Tail merging is
computation intensive task and slow.
This patch eliminates string tail merging.
I changed the way of adding strings to the string table in this patch
too. Previously, strings were added using add() and the same strings
were then passed to getOffset() to get their offsets in the string table.
In this way, getOffset() needs to look up a hash table to get offsets
for given strings. This is a violation of "we look up the symbol table
(or a hash table) only once for each symbol" dogma of the new LLD's
design. Hash table lookup for long C++ mangled names is slow.
I eliminated that lookup in this patch.
In total, this patch improves link time of lld itself about 12%
(3.50 seconds -> 3.08 seconds.)

The linker has to create __tls_get_addr, end and _end symbols.
Previously, these symbols were created in createSections().
But they are not actually related to creating output sections.
This patch moves code out of the function.
llvm-svn: 256441
Previously, this code was directly written in createSections()
function. This patch moves some code out of that function to a
new class.
llvm-svn: 256438
The number of output sections is usually limited, so the cost
of allocating them is not a bottleneck. This patch simplifies
the code by removing the allocators.
llvm-svn: 256437
OutputSectionBase already has virtual member functions.
This patch makes addSection() a virtual function to remove code
from Writer::createSections().
llvm-svn: 256436
This function was longer than 250 lines, which is way too long
in my own standard. This patch reduces the size. It is still
too long, but this patch should be toward the right direction.

There are 3 symbol types that a .bc can provide during lto: defined,
undefined, common.
Defined and undefined symbols have already been refactored. I was
working on common and noticed that absolute symbols would become an
oddity: They would be the only symbol type present in a .o but not in
a.bc.
Looking a bit more, other than the special section number they were only
used for special rules for computing values. In that way they are
similar to TLS, and we don't have a DefinedTLS.
This patch deletes it. With it we have a reasonable rule of the thumb
for having a symbol kind: It exists if it has special resolution
semantics.
