Patch by Shridhar Joshi.
This option provides names of all the link time modules which define and
reference symbols requested by user. This helps to speed up application
development by detecting references causing undefined symbols.
It also helps in detecting symbols being resolved to wrong (unintended)
definitions in case of applications containing multiple definitions for
same symbols with different types, bindings.
Implements PR28226.

For next version script:
VER1{
global:
a;
};
VER2{
global:
a;
};
gold would produce warning like:
"warning: using 'VER1' as version for 'a' which is also named in version 'VER2' in script."
Documentation also says we do not want this duplications (https://people.freebsd.org/~deischen/symver/library_versioning.txt):
"Note that you do not want to duplicate symbols in the map file. The .symver directives are all that is required to add compatibility
symbols into old versions."
This patch restricts such mixing and makes lld to produce error in this case.

With fix:
-soname flag was not set in testcase. Hash calculated for base def was different on local
and bot machines because filename fos used for calculating.
Initial commit message:
Patch implements basic support of versioned symbols.
There is no wildcards patterns matching except local: *;
There is no support for hierarchies.
There is no support for symbols overrides (@ vs @@ not handled).
This patch allows programs that using simple scripts to link and run.

Doing that in an anonymous version is a bit silly, but this opens the
way for supporting it in general.
Since we don't support actual versions, for now we just disable the
version script if we detect that it is missing a local.

This should never happen with correct programs, but it is trivial
write a testcase where lld would crash or report duplicated
symbols. We now behave like when an archive is used and include the
file only once.

We can now use this to decide whether to emit a verneed during the final
pass over the symbols. We were previously wrongly creating a verneed entry
in the case where all references to a DSO's symbols were weak.
In a future change we may also want to use the used bit to control whether
shared symbols are preemptible and appear in the dynsym. This seems a little
tricky to do at the moment because isNeeded() is templated.
The only other functional change here is that we emit a DT_NEEDED for DSOs
whose symbols are all preempted by objects that appear later in the link. But
that doesn't seem too important to me.

Introduce a special symbol type to indicate that we have not yet seen a type
for the symbol, so we should not report TLS mismatches for that symbol.

Weak undefined symbols resolve to the image base. This is a little strange,
but it allows us to link function calls to such symbols. Normally such a
call will be guarded with a comparison, which will load a zero from the GOT.
There's one example of such a function call in crti.o in Linux's CRT.
As part of this change, I also needed to make the synthetic start and end
symbols image base relative in the case where their sections were empty,
so that PC-relative references to those symbols would continue to work.

This patch increases the size of Undefined by the size of a pointer,
but it wouldn't actually increase the size of memory that LLD uses
because we are not allocating the exact size but the size of the
largest SymbolBody.
llvm-svn: 268310
This patch implements a new design for the symbol table that stores
SymbolBodies within a memory region of the Symbol object. Symbols are mutated
by constructing SymbolBodies in place over existing SymbolBodies, rather
than by mutating pointers. As mentioned in the initial proposal [1], this
memory layout helps reduce the cache miss rate by improving memory locality.
Performance numbers:
old(s) new(s)
Without debug info:
chrome 7.178 6.432 (-11.5%)
LLVMgold.so 0.505 0.502 (-0.5%)
clang 0.954 0.827 (-15.4%)
llvm-as 0.052 0.045 (-15.5%)
With debug info:
scylla 5.695 5.613 (-1.5%)
clang 14.396 14.143 (-1.8%)
Performance counter results show that the fewer required indirections is
indeed the cause of the improved performance. For example, when linking
chrome, stalled cycles decreases from 14,556,444,002 to 12,959,238,310, and
instructions per cycle increases from 0.78 to 0.83. We are also executing
many fewer instructions (15,516,401,933 down to 15,002,434,310), probably
because we spend less time allocating SymbolBodies.
The new mechanism by which symbols are added to the symbol table is by calling
add* functions on the SymbolTable.
In this patch, I handle local symbols by storing them inside "unparented"
SymbolBodies. This is suboptimal, but if we do want to try to avoid allocating
these SymbolBodies, we can probably do that separately.
I also removed a few members from the SymbolBody class that were only being
used to pass information from the input file to the symbol table.
This patch implements the new design for the ELF linker only. I intend to
prepare a similar patch for the COFF linker.

There seems to be no reason to keep st_size of undefined symbols.
This patch removes the member for it. This patch will change outputs
in cases that undefined symbols are copied to output, but I think
this is unimportant.

The semantics of the -u flag are to load the lazy symbol named by the flag. We
were previously relying on this behavior falling out of symbol resolution
against a synthetic undefined symbol, but that didn't quite give us the
correct behavior, so we needed a flag to mark symbols created with -u so
we could treat them specially in the writer. However, it's simpler and less
error prone to implement the required behavior directly and remove the flag.
This fixes an issue where symbols loaded with -u would receive hidden
visibility even when the definition in an object file had wider visibility.

This remove a fixme, cleans up the weak undef interaction with archives and
lets us keep weak undefs still weak if they resolve to shared.
llvm-svn: 267555
This patch only implements support for version scripts of the form:
{ [ global: symbol1; symbol2; [...]; symbolN; ] local: *; };
No wildcards are supported, other than for the local entry. Symbol versioning
is also not supported.
It works by introducing a new Symbol flag which tracks whether a symbol
appears in the global section of a version script.
This patch also simplifies the logic in SymbolBody::isPreemptible(), and
teaches it to handle the case where symbols with default visibility in DSOs
do not appear in the dynamic symbol table because of a version script.
Fixes PR27482.
