An output section can include elements from two input sections with
different sh_entsize. When that happens the output section itself
should not have a sh_entsize.

That class is used only by LinkerScript.cpp, so we should move it to
that file. Also, it no longer has to be a "factory" class. It can just
be a non-member function.

Stop using SectionKey for creating output sections.
Initially SectionKey was designed because we merged section with
use of Flags and Alignment fields. Currently LLD merges them by name only,
except the case when -relocatable output is produced. In that case
we still merge sections only with the same flags and alignment.
There is probably no issue at all to stop using Flags and Alignment for -r and
just disable the merging in that case.
After doing that change we can get rid of using SectionKey. That is not only
simplifies the code, but also gives some perfomance boost.
I tried to link chrome and mozilla, results are next:
* chrome link time goes from 1,666750355s to 1,551585364s, that is about 7%.
* mozilla time changes from 3,210261947 to 3,153782940, or about 2%.

Now that we have only SymbolBody as the symbol class. So, "SymbolBody"
is a bit strange name now. This is a mechanical change generated by
perl -i -pe s/SymbolBody/Symbol/g $(git grep -l SymbolBody lld/ELF lld/COFF)
nd clang-format-diff.

sortSections(), which looks more appropriate place.

Summary:
This will allow using the functionality from other linkers. It is also

"Commands" was ambiguous because in the linker script, everything is
a command. We used to handle only SECTIONS commands, and at the time,
it might make sense to call them the commands, but it is no longer
the case. We handle not only SECTIONS but also MEMORY, PHDRS, VERSION,
etc., and they are all commands.

Previously, when we added an input section to an output section, we
called `OutputSectionFactory::addInputSec`. This isn't a good design
because, a factory class is intended to create a new object and
return it, but in this use case, it will never create a new object.
This patch fixes the design flaw.
llvm-svn: 315138
Factory::addInputSec added an output section to Script->Opt.Commands,
but that is too subtle. This patch makes it explicit so that it is easy
to see when a new element is added to Script->Opt.Commands.

addSection function was hard to read because it behaves differently
depending on its arguments but what exactly it does is not clear.
Now it should be better. Still, it is not clear (not what but) why
it does what it does, but I'll take a look at it later.

This is PR34506.
Imagine we have 2 sections the same name but different COMDAT groups:
.section .foo,"axG",@progbits,bar,comdat
.section .foo,"axG",@progbits,zed,comdat
When linking relocatable we do not merge SHT_GROUP sections. But still would merge
both input sections .foo into single output section .foo.
As a result we will have 2 different SHT_GROUPs containing the same section, what
is wrong.
Patch fixes the issue, preventing merging SHF_GROUP sections with any others.

This is a bit of a hack, but it is *so* convenient.
Now that we create synthetic linker scripts when none is provided, we
always have to handle paired OutputSection and OutputsectionCommand and
keep a mapping from one to the other.
This patch simplifies things by merging them and creating what used to
be OutputSectionCommands really early.
llvm-svn: 309311
SHF_GROUP bit doesn't make sense in executables or DSOs, so linkers are
expected to remove that bit from section flags. We did that when we create
output sections.
This patch is to do that earlier than before. Now the flag is dropped when
we instantiate input section objects.
This change improves ICF. Previously, two sections that differ only in
SHF_GROUP flag were not merged, because when the control reached ICF,
the flag was still there. Now the flag is dropped before reaching to ICF,
so the difference is ignored naturally.
This issue was found by pcc.

Previously LLD would fail for case when there are multiple comdats and -r.
That happened because it merged all ".group" (SHT_GROUP) sections into single
output, producing broken result. Such sections may have similar name, alignment and flags
and other properties. We need to produce separate output section for each such input one.

Spec says: (http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.sheader.html)
sh_info
This member holds extra information, whose interpretation depends on the section type.
If the sh_flags field for this section header includes the attribute SHF_INFO_LINK,
then this member represents a section header table index.
SHF_INFO_LINK
The sh_info field of this section header holds a section header table index.
Since sh_info for SHT_REL[A] sections should contain the section header index of the
section to which the relocation applies, this is
consistent with spec to put this flag. Behavior matches both bfd and gold as well.

Before InputSectionBase had an OutputSection pointer, but that was not
always valid. For example, if it was a merge section one actually had
to look at MergeSec->OutSec.
This was brittle and caused bugs like the one fixed by r304260.
We now have a single Parent pointer that points to an OutputSection
for InputSection, but to a SyntheticSection for merge sections and
.eh_frame. This makes it impossible to accidentally access an invalid
OutSec.

We would crash if a SHF_LINK_ORDER section pointed to a non
InputSection section. Since those sections are not merged in order,
SHF_LINK_ORDER is pretty meaningless and we can error on that case.

This is PR33052, "Bug 33052 - -r eats comdats ".
To fix it I stop removing group section from out when -r is given
and fixing SHT_GROUP content when writing it just like we do some
other fixup, e.g. for Rel[a]. (it needs fix for section indices that
are in group).
