([ELF] Initialize TargetInfo members).

and change it to set `ctx.target`. This ensures that when `ctx` becomes
a local variable, two lld invocations will not reuse the function-local

Remove the global variable `symtab` and add a member variable
(`std::unique_ptr<SymbolTable>`) to `Ctx` instead.
This is one step toward eliminating global states.
Pull Request: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/109612
Ctx was introduced in March 2022 as a more suitable place for such
singletons.
llvm/Support/thread.h includes <thread>, which transitively includes
sstream in libc++ and uses ios_base::in, so we cannot use `#define in ctx.sec`.
`symtab, config, ctx` are now the only variables using
LLVM_LIBRARY_VISIBILITY.
Previously, we selected the Thumb2 PLT sequences if any input object is
marked as not supporting the ARM ISA, which then causes assertion
failures when calls from ARM code in other objects are seen. I think the
intention here was to only use Thumb PLTs when the target does not have
the ARM ISA available, signalled by no objects being marked as having it
available. To do that we need to track which ISAs we have seen as we
parse the build attributes, and defer the decision about PLTs until all
input objects have been parsed.
This bug was triggered by real code in picolibc, which have some
versions of string.h functions built with Thumb2-only build attributes,
so that they are compatible with v7-A, v7-R and v7-M.
Fixes#99008.
This reverts commit 7832769d329ead264aff238c06dce086b3a74922.
This was reverted prior due to a test failure on the windows builder. I
think this was because we didn't specify the triple and assumed windows.
The other tests use the full triple specifying linux, so we follow suite
here.

We are using PLTs for cortex-m33 which only supports thumb. More
specifically, this is for a very restricted use case. There's no MMU so
there's no sharing of virtual addresses between two processes, but this
is fine. The MCU is used for running [chre
nanoapps](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/chre/+/HEAD/doc/nanoapp_overview.md)
for android. Each nanoapp is a shared library (but effectively acts as
an executable containing a test suite) that is loaded and run on the MCU
one binary at a time and there's only one process running at a time, so
we ensure that the same text segment cannot be shared by two different
running executables. GNU LD supports thumb PLTs but we want to migrate
to a clang toolchain and use LLD, so thumb PLTs are needed.

Based on https://reviews.llvm.org/D45375 . Introduce a new InputFile
kind `InternalKind`, use it for
* `ctx.internalFile`: for linker-defined symbols and some synthesized
`Undefined`
* `createInternalFile`: for symbol assignments and --defsym
I picked "internal" instead of "synthetic" to avoid confusion with
SyntheticSection.
Currently a symbol's file is one of: nullptr, ObjKind, SharedKind,
BitcodeKind, BinaryKind. Now it's non-null (I plan to add an
`assert(file)` to Symbol::Symbol and change `toString(const InputFile
*)`
separately).
Debugging and error reporting gets improved. The immediate user-facing
difference is more descriptive "File" column in the --cref output. This
patch may unlock further simplification.
Currently each symbol assignment gets its own
`createInternalFile(cmd->location)`. Two symbol assignments in a linker
script do not share the same file. Making the file the same would be
nice, but would require non trivial code.
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.
I'm planning to deprecate and eventually remove
StringRef::{starts,ends}with.
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.

Arm has BE8 big endian configuration called a byte-invariant(every byte has the same address on little and big-endian systems).
When in BE8 mode:
1. Instructions are big-endian in relocatable objects but
little-endian in executables and shared objects.
2. Data is big-endian.
3. The data encoding of the ELF file is ELFDATA2MSB.
To support BE8 without an ABI break for relocatable objects,the linker takes on the responsibility of changing the endianness of instructions. At a high level the only difference between BE32 and BE8 in the linker is that for BE8:
1. The linker sets the flag EF_ARM_BE8 in the ELF header.
2. The linker endian reverses the instructions, but not data.
This patch adds BE8 big endian support for Arm. To endian reverse the instructions we'll need access to the mapping symbols. Code sections can contain a mix of Arm, Thumb and literal data. We need to endian reverse Arm instructions as words, Thumb instructions
as half-words and ignore literal data.The only way to find these transitions precisely is by using mapping symbols. The instruction reversal will need to take place after relocation. For Arm BE8 code sections (Section has SHF_EXECINSTR flag ) we inserted a step after relocation to endian reverse the instructions. The implementation strategy i have used here is to write all sections BE32 including SyntheticSections then endian reverse all code in InputSections via mapping symbols.

changes:
- BLX: The Arm architecture versions that support the branch and link
instruction (BLX), can rewrite BLs in place when a state change from Arm<->Thumb
is required. Armv4T does not have BLX and so needs thunks for state changes.
- v4T Thumb long branches needed their own thunk. We could have used the v6M
implementation, but v6M doesn't have Arm state and must resolve to rather
inefficient stack reshuffling. We also can't reuse v7 thumb thunks as they use
MOVV/MOVT, which wasn't available yet for v4T.
- Remove the `lack of BLX' warning. LLVM only supports Arm Architecture versions
upwards of v4, which we now all support in LLD.
- renamed existing thunks to better reflect their use:
ARMV5ABSLongThunk -> ARMV5LongLdrPcThunk,
ARMV5PILongThunk -> ARMV4PILongThunk
- removed isCompatibleWith method from ARMV5ABSLongThunk and ARMV5PILongThunk,
as they were identical to the ARMThunk parent class implementation.
Support for (efficient) position independent thunks for v4T will be added in a
follow-up patch, including possible related thunk renaming and code comment
cleanup.
