This supersedes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/87818 and fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/52767 When calculating arm64 thunks, we make a few assumptions that may not hold when considering code sections outside of `__text`: 1. That a section needs thunks only if its size is larger than the branch range. 2. That any calls into `__stubs` are necessarily forward jumps (that is, the section with the jump is ordered before `__stubs`) Sections like this exist in the wild, most prominently the `__lcxx_overrides` section introduced in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/69498 This change: - Ensures that if one section in `__TEXT` gets thunks, all of them do. - Makes all code sections in `__TEXT` contiguous (and guaranteed to be placed before `__stubs`)
