That is a size optimization to // identify and merge two or more read-only sections (typically functions) // that happened to have the same contents. It usually reduces output size // by a few percent. // // In ICF, two sections are considered identical if they have the same // section flags, section data, and relocations. Relocations are tricky, // because two relocations are considered the same if they have the same // relocation types, values, and if they point to the same sections *in // terms of ICF*. // // Here is an example. If foo and bar defined below are compiled to the // same machine instructions, ICF can and should merge the two, although // their relocations point to each other. // // void foo() { bar(); } // void bar() { foo(); } // // If you merge the two, their relocations point to the same section and // thus you know they are mergeable, but how do we know they are mergeable // in the first place? This is not an easy problem to solve. // // What we are doing in LLD is some sort of coloring algorithm. // // We color non-identical sections in different colors repeatedly. // Sections in the same color when the algorithm terminates are considered // identical. Here are the details: // // 1. First, we color all sections using their hash values of section // types, section contents, and numbers of relocations. At this moment, // relocation targets are not taken into account. We just color // sections that apparently differ in different colors. // // 2. Next, for each color C, we visit sections in color C to compare // relocation target colors. We recolor sections A and B in different // colors if A's and B's relocations are different in terms of target // colors. // // 3. If we recolor some section in step 2, relocations that were // previously pointing to the same color targets may now be pointing to // different colors. Therefore, repeat 2 until a convergence is // obtained. // // 4. For each color C, pick an arbitrary section in color C, and merges // other sections in color C with it. // // For small programs, this algorithm needs 3-5 iterations. For large // programs such as Chromium, it takes more than 20 iterations. // // We parallelize each step so that multiple threads can work on different // colors concurrently. That gave us a large performance boost when // applying ICF on large programs. For example, MSVC link.exe or GNU gold // takes 10-20 seconds to apply ICF on Chromium, whose output size is // about 1.5 GB, but LLD can finish it in less than 2 seconds on a 2.8 GHz // 40 core machine. Even without threading, LLD's ICF is still faster than // MSVC or gold though. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #include "ICF.h" #include "Config.h" #include "SymbolTable.h" #include "Threads.h" #include "llvm/ADT/Hashing.h" #include "llvm/Object/ELF.h" #include "llvm/Support/ELF.h" #include #include using namespace lld; using namespace lld::elf; using namespace llvm; using namespace llvm::ELF; using namespace llvm::object; namespace { template class ICF { public: void run(); private: void segregate(size_t Begin, size_t End, bool Constant); template bool constantEq(ArrayRef RelsA, ArrayRef RelsB); template bool variableEq(const InputSection *A, ArrayRef RelsA, const InputSection *B, ArrayRef RelsB); bool equalsConstant(const InputSection *A, const InputSection *B); bool equalsVariable(const InputSection *A, const InputSection *B); size_t findBoundary(size_t Begin, size_t End); void forEachColorRange(size_t Begin, size_t End, std::function Fn); void forEachColor(std::function Fn); std::vector *> Sections; // We repeat the main loop while `Repeat` is true. std::atomic Repeat; // The main loop counter. int Cnt = 0; // We have two locations for colors.

Recall that other threads may be working on // other colors in parallel.
