Previously, linker was unnecessarily including a PROVIDE symbol which
was referenced by another unused PROVIDE symbol. For example, if a
linker script contained the below code and 'not_used_sym' provide symbol
is not included, then linker was still unnecessarily including 'foo' PROVIDE
symbol because it was referenced by 'not_used_sym'. This commit fixes
this behavior.
PROVIDE(not_used_sym = foo)
PROVIDE(foo = 0x1000)
This commit fixes this behavior by using dfs-like algorithm to find
all the symbols referenced in provide expressions of included provide
symbols.
This commit also fixes the issue of unused section not being garbage-collected
if a symbol of the section is referenced by an unused PROVIDE symbol.

This commit provides linker support for Cortex-M Security Extensions (CMSE).
The specification for this feature can be found in ARM v8-M Security Extensions:
Requirements on Development Tools.
The linker synthesizes a security gateway veneer in a special section;
`.gnu.sgstubs`, when it finds non-local symbols `__acle_se_<entry>` and `<entry>`,
defined relative to the same text section and having the same address. The
address of `<entry>` is retargeted to the starting address of the
linker-synthesized security gateway veneer in section `.gnu.sgstubs`.
In summary, the linker translates input:
```
.text
entry:
__acle_se_entry:
[entry_code]
```
into:
```
.section .gnu.sgstubs
entry:
SG
B.W __acle_se_entry
.text
__acle_se_entry:
[entry_code]
```
If addresses of `__acle_se_<entry>` and `<entry>` are not equal, the linker
considers that `<entry>` already defines a secure gateway veneer so does not
synthesize one.
If `--out-implib=<out.lib>` is specified, the linker writes the list of secure
gateway veneers into a CMSE import library `<out.lib>`. The CMSE import library
will have 3 sections: `.symtab`, `.strtab`, `.shstrtab`. For every secure gateway
veneer <entry> at address `<addr>`, `.symtab` contains a `SHN_ABS` symbol `<entry>` with
value `<addr>`.
If `--in-implib=<in.lib>` is specified, the linker reads the existing CMSE import
library `<in.lib>` and preserves the entry function addresses in the resulting
executable and new import library.

To decouple symbol initialization and section initialization, `Defined::section`
assignment should be postponed after input file parsing. To avoid spurious
duplicate definition error due to two definitions in COMDAT groups of the same
signature, we should postpone the duplicate symbol check.
The function is called postScan instead of a more specific name like
checkDuplicateSymbols, because we may merge Symbol::mergeProperties into
postScan. It is placed after compileBitcodeFiles to apply to ET_REL files
produced by LTO. This causes minor diagnostic regression
for skipLinkedOutput configurations: ld.lld --thinlto-index-only a.bc b.o
(bitcode definition prevails) won't detect duplicate symbol error. I think this
is an acceptable compromise. The important cases where (a) both files are
bitcode or (b) --thinlto-index-only is unused are still detected.

Placeholders (-y and redirectSymbols removed versioned symbols) are very rare and
the check just makes symbol table iteration slower. Most iterations filter out
placeholders anyway, so this change just drops the filter behavior.
For "Add symbols to symtabs", we need to ensure that redirectSymbols sets
isUsedInRegularObj to false when making a symbol placeholder, to avoid an
assertion failure in SymbolTableSection<ELFT>::writeTo.
My .text is 2KiB smaller. The speed-up linking chrome is 0.x%.
Currently the singleton `config` is assigned by `config = make<Configuration>()`
and (if `canExitEarly` is false) destroyed by `lld::freeArena`.
`make<Configuration>` allocates a stab with `malloc(4096)`. This both wastes
memory and bloats the executable (every type instantiates `BumpPtrAllocator`
which costs more than 1KiB code on x86-64).
(No need to worry about `clang::no_destroy`. Regular invocations (`canExitEarly`
is true) call `_Exit` via llvm::sys::Process::ExitNoCleanup.)

This fixes PR38549, which is silently accepted by ld.bfd.
This seems correct because it makes sense to let non-glob patterns take
precedence over glob patterns.
lld issues an error because
`assignWildcardVersion(ver, VER_NDX_LOCAL);` is processed before `assignExactVersion(ver, v.id, v.name);`.
Move all assignWildcardVersion() calls after assignExactVersion() calls
to fix this.
Also, move handleDynamicList() to the bottom. computeBinding() called by
includeInDynsym() has this cryptic rule:
if (versionId == VER_NDX_LOCAL && isDefined() && !isPreemptible)
return STB_LOCAL;
Before the change:
* foo's version is set to VER_NDX_LOCAL due to `local: *`
* handleDynamicList() is called
- foo.computeBinding() is STB_LOCAL
- foo.includeInDynsym() is false
- foo.isPreemptible is not set (wrong)
* foo's version is set to V1

This patch is mechanically generated by clang-llvm-rename tool that I wrote
using Clang Refactoring Engine just for creating this patch. You can see the
source code of the tool at https://reviews.llvm.org/D64123. There's no manual
post-processing; you can generate the same patch by re-running the tool against
lld's code base.
Here is the main discussion thread to change the LLVM coding style:
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-February/130083.html
In the discussion thread, I proposed we use lld as a testbed for variable
naming scheme change, and this patch does that.
I chose to rename variables so that they are in camelCase, just because that
is a minimal change to make variables to start with a lowercase letter.
Note to downstream patch maintainers: if you are maintaining a downstream lld
repo, just rebasing ahead of this commit would cause massive merge conflicts
because this patch essentially changes every line in the lld subdirectory. But
there's a remedy.
clang-llvm-rename tool is a batch tool, so you can rename variables in your
downstream repo with the tool. Given that, here is how to rebase your repo to
a commit after the mass renaming:
1. rebase to the commit just before the mass variable renaming,
2. apply the tool to your downstream repo to mass-rename variables locally, and
3. rebase again to the head.
Most changes made by the tool should be identical for a downstream repo and
for the head, so at the step 3, almost all changes should be merged and
disappear. I'd expect that there would be some lines that you need to merge by
hand, but that shouldn't be too many.

This is the last patch of the series of patches to make it possible to
resolve symbols without asking SymbolTable to do so.
The main point of this patch is the introduction of
`elf::resolveSymbol(Symbol *Old, Symbol *New)`. That function resolves
or merges given symbols by examining symbol types and call
replaceSymbol (which memcpy's New to Old) if necessary.
With the new function, we have now separated symbol resolution from
symbol lookup. If you already have a Symbol pointer, you can directly
resolve the symbol without asking SymbolTable to do that.
Now that the nice abstraction become available, I can start working on
performance improvement of the linker. As a starter, I'm thinking of
making --{start,end}-lib faster.
--{start,end}-lib is currently unnecessarily slow because it looks up
the symbol table twice for each symbol.
- The first hash table lookup/insertion occurs when we instantiate a
LazyObject file to insert LazyObject symbols.
- The second hash table lookup/insertion occurs when we create an
ObjFile from LazyObject file. That overwrites LazyObject symbols
with Defined symbols.
I think it is not too hard to see how we can now eliminate the second
hash table lookup. We can keep LazyObject symbols in Step 1, and then
call elf::resolveSymbol() to do Step 2.

Common symbol and defined symbol are probably as different as shared

After symbols are resolved, they are converted to Defined symbols

SymbolTable's add-family functions have lots of parameters because
when they have to create a new symbol, they forward given arguments
to Symbol's constructors. Therefore, the functions take at least as
many arguments as their corresponding constructors.
This patch simplifies the add-family functions. Now, the functions
take a symbol instead of arguments to construct a symbol. If there's
no existing symbol, a given symbol is memcpy'ed to the symbol table.
Otherwise, the functions attempt to merge the existing and a given
new symbol.
I also eliminated `CanOmitFromDynSym` parameter, so that the functions
take really one argument.
Symbol classes are trivially constructible, so looks like constructing
them to pass to add-family functions is as cheap as passing a lot of
arguments to the functions. A quick benchmark showed that this patch
seems performance-neutral.

Summary:
In ld.bfd/gold, --no-allow-shlib-undefined is the default when linking
an executable. This patch implements a check to error on undefined
symbols in a shared object, if all of its DT_NEEDED entries are seen.
Our approach resembles the one used in gold, achieves a good balance to
be useful but not too smart (ld.bfd traces all DSOs and emulates the
behavior of a dynamic linker to catch more cases).
The error is issued based on the symbol table, different from undefined
reference errors issued for relocations. It is most effective when there
are DSOs that were not linked with -z defs (e.g. when static sanitizers
runtime is used).
gold has a comment that some system libraries on GNU/Linux may have
spurious undefined references and thus system libraries should be
excluded (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6811). The
story may have changed now but we make --allow-shlib-undefined the
default for now. Its interaction with -shared can be discussed in the
future.

If a DSO appears more than once with and without --as-needed, ld.bfd and gold consider --no-as-needed to takes precedence over --as-needed. lld didn't and this patch makes it do so.
This makes it a bit away from the position-dependent behavior (how
different occurrences of the same DSO interact) and protects us from
some mysterious runtime errors: if some interceptor libraries add their
own --no-as-needed dependencies (e.g. librt.so), and the user
application specifies -Wl,--as-needed -lrt , the absence of the
DT_NEEDED entry would make dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "clock_gettime") return NULL
