--change-section address and its alias --adjust-section-vma allows
modification
of section addresses in a relocatable file. This used to be used, for
example,
in Fiasco microkernel.
On a relocatable file this option behaves the same as GNU objcopy, apart
from
the fact that it does not issue any warnings, for example, when an
argument is
not used.
GNU objcopy does not produce an error when passed an executable file but
the
usecase for this is not clear, and the behaviour is inconsistent. The
idea of
GNU objcopy --change-section-address is that the option should change
both LMA
and VMA in an executable file. Since this patch does not implement
executable
file support, only VMA is changed.
GNU objcopy has some --subsystem options that aren't present in LLVM's.
They are in fact just aliases to some of the existing options.
For the sake of compatibility with the GNU toolchain, this patch adds
these aliases to LLVM objcopy.
The alias list is not exhaustive as this is an incremental change.
llvm-objcopy did not support change-section-lma argument.
This patch adds support for a use case of change-section-lma, that is
shifting load address of all sections by the same offset. This seems to
be the only practical use case of change-section-lma, found in other
software such as Zephyr RTOS's build system.
This is an option that could possibly be supported in some other than
ELF formats, however this change only implements it for ELF. When used
with other formats an error message is raised.
In comparison, the behavior of GNU objcopy is inconsistent. For some ELF
files it behaves the same as described above. For others, it copies the
file without modifying the p_paddr fields when it would be expected. In
some experiments it modifies arbitrary fields in section or program
headers. It is unclear what exactly determines this.
The executable file generated by yaml2obj in this test is not parsable
by GNU objcopy. With Machine set to EM_AARCH64, the file can be parsed
and the first test in the test file completes with 0 exit code. However,
the result is rather arbitrary. AArch64 GNU objcopy subtracts 0x1000
from p_filesz and p_memsz of the first LOAD section and 0x1000 from
p_offset of the second LOAD section. It does not look meaningful.
--compress-sections is similar to --compress-debug-sections but applies
to arbitrary sections.
* `--compress-sections <section>=none`: decompress sections
* `--compress-sections <section>=[zlib|zstd]`: compress sections with zlib/zstd
Like `--remove-section`, the pattern is by default a glob, but a regex
when --regex is specified.
For `--remove-section` like options, `!` prevents matches and is not
dependent on ordering (see `ELF/wildcard-syntax.test`). Since
`--compress-sections a=zlib --compress-sections a=none` naturally allows
overriding, having an order-independent `!` would be confusing.
Therefore, `!` is disallowed.
Sections within a segment are effectively immutable. Report an error for
an attempt to (de)compress them. `SHF_ALLOC` sections in a relocatable
file can be compressed, but linkers usually reject them.
Note: Before this patch, a compressed relocation section is recognized
as a `RelocationSectionBase` as well and `removeSections` `!ToRemove(*ToRelSec)`
may incorrectly interpret a `CompressedSections` as `RelocationSectionBase`,
leading to ubsan failure for the new test. Fix this by setting
`OriginalFlags` in CompressedSection::CompressedSection.

Add --skip-symbol and --skip-symbols options that allow to skip symbols
when executing other options that can change the symbol's name, binding
or visibility, similar to an existing option --keep-symbol that keeps a
symbol from being removed by other options.
Add options --set-symbol-visibility and --set-symbols-visibility to
manually change the visibility of symbols.
There is already an option to set the visibility of newly added symbols
via --add-symbol and --new-symbol-visibility. This option will allow to
change the visibility of already existing symbols.
`--gap-fill <value>` fills the gaps between sections with a specified
8-bit value, instead of zero.
`--pad-to <address>` pads the output binary up to the specified load
address, using the 8-bit value from `--gap-fill` or zero.
These options are only supported for ELF input and binary output.
This patch replaces uses of StringRef::{starts,ends}with with
StringRef::{starts,ends}_with for consistency with
std::{string,string_view}::{starts,ends}_with in C++20.

This reverts commit 4e3b89483a6922d3f48670bb1c50a37f342918c6, with
fixes for places I'd missed updating in lld and lldb. I've also
renamed OptionVisibility::Default to "DefaultVis" to avoid ambiguity
since the undecorated name has to be available anywhere Options.inc is
included.
Original message follows:
This splits OptTable's "Flags" field into "Flags" and "Visibility",
updates the places where we instantiate Option tables, and adds
variants of the OptTable APIs that use Visibility mask instead of
Include/Exclude flags.
We need to do this to clean up a bunch of complexity in the clang
driver's option handling - there's a whole slew of flags like
CoreOption, NoDriverOption, and FlangOnlyOption there today to try to
handle all of the permutations of flags that the various drivers need,
but it really doesn't scale well, as can be seen by things like the
somewhat recently introduced CLDXCOption.
Instead, we'll provide an additive model for visibility that's
separate from the other flags. For things like "HelpHidden", which is
used as a "subtractive" modifier for option visibility, we leave that
in "Flags" and handle it as a special case.
Note that we don't actually update the users of the Include/Exclude
APIs here or change the flags that exist in clang at all - that will
come in a follow up that refactors clang's Options.td to use the
increased flexibility this change allows.

All command-line tools using `llvm::opt` create an enum of option IDs and a table of `OptTable::Info` object. Most of the tools use the same ID (`OPT_##ID`), kind (`Option::KIND##Class`), group ID (`OPT_##GROUP`) and alias ID (`OPT_##ALIAS`). This patch extracts that common code into canonical macros. This results in fewer changes when tweaking the `OPTION` macros emitted by the TableGen backend.

In preparation for removing the `#include "llvm/ADT/StringExtras.h"`
from the header to source file of `llvm/Support/Error.h`, first add in
all the missing includes that were previously included transitively
through this header.
Use deduction guides instead of helper functions.
The only non-automatic changes have been:
1. ArrayRef(some_uint8_pointer, 0) needs to be changed into ArrayRef(some_uint8_pointer, (size_t)0) to avoid an ambiguous call with ArrayRef((uint8_t*), (uint8_t*))
2. CVSymbol sym(makeArrayRef(symStorage)); needed to be rewritten as CVSymbol sym{ArrayRef(symStorage)}; otherwise the compiler is confused and thinks we have a (bad) function prototype. There was a few similar situation across the codebase.
3. ADL doesn't seem to work the same for deduction-guides and functions, so at some point the llvm namespace must be explicitly stated.
4. The "reference mode" of makeArrayRef(ArrayRef<T> &) that acts as no-op is not supported (a constructor cannot achieve that).
Per reviewers' comment, some useless makeArrayRef have been removed in the process.
This is a follow-up to https://reviews.llvm.org/D140896 that introduced
the deduction guides.

When zlib is disabled at build time, the diagnostic `LLVM was not compiled with
LLVM_ENABLE_ZLIB: cannot decompress` for --decompress-debug-sections may be
inaccurate: if zstd is enabled, we should still support zstd decompression.
It's not useful to test zlib and zstd. Just remove the diagnostic and add a new
one before `compression::decompress`.
