I need the comdat selection for PR40094. To keep the patch for that smaller,
I'm adding it here, and as a first application I'm using it to reject
associative comdats referring to earlier associative comdats. Depends on
D56929; together with that all associative comdats referring to other
associative comdats are now rejected.

PDBs contain several serialized hash tables. In the microsoft-pdb
repo published to support LLVM implementing PDB support, the
provided initializes the bucket count for the TPI and IPI streams
to the maximum size. This occurs in tpi.cpp L33 and tpi.cpp L398.
In the LLVM code for generating PDBs, these streams are created with
minimum number of buckets. This difference makes LLVM generated
PDBs slower for when used for debugging.

Previously, we assumed that .rdata is zero-filled, so when writing
an COFF import table, we didn't write anything if the data is zero.
That assumption was wrong because .rdata can be merged with .text.
If .rdata is merged with .text, they are initialized with 0xcc which
is a trap instruction.
This patch removes that assumption from code.
Should be merged to 8.0 branch as this is a regression.

Guessing that the slashes used in the scripts SECTION command was causing the

Original commit message:
Small code model global variable access on PPC64 has a very limited range of
addressing. The instructions the relocations are used on add an offset in the
range [-0x8000, 0x7FFC] to the toc pointer which points to .got +0x8000, giving
an addressable range of [.got, .got + 0xFFFC]. While user code can be recompiled
with medium and large code models when the binary grows too large for small code
model, there are small code model relocations in the crt files and libgcc.a
which are typically shipped with the distros, and the ABI dictates that linkers
must allow linking of relocatable object files using different code models.
To minimze the chance of relocation overflow, any file that contains a small
code model relocation should have its .toc section placed closer to the .got
then any .toc from a file without small code model relocations.

This does *not* implement full SHT_GROUP semantic, yet it is a simple step forward:
Sections within a group are still considered valid, but they do not behave as

Currently, if an associative comdat appears after the comdat it's associated
with it's processed immediately, else it's deferred until the end of the object
file. I found this confusing to think about while working on PR40094, so this
makes it so that associated comdats are always processed at the end of the
object file. This seems to be perf-neutral and simpler.
Now there's a natural place to reject the associated comdats referring to later
associated comdats (associated comdats referring to associated comdats is
invalid per COFF spec) that, so reject those. (A later patch will reject
associated comdats referring to earlier comdats.)

Previously, MemoryBlock automatically extends a requested buffer size to a
multiple of page size because (I believe) doing it was thought to be harmless
and with that you could get more memory (on average 2KiB on 4KiB-page systems)
"for free".
That programming interface turned out to be error-prone. If you request N
bytes, you usually expect that a resulting object returns N for `size()`.
That's not the case for MemoryBlock.
Looks like there is only one place where we take the advantage of
allocating more memory than the requested size. So, with this patch, I
simply removed the automatic size expansion feature from MemoryBlock
and do it on the caller side when needed. MemoryBlock now always
returns a buffer whose size is equal to the requested size.

LLD's performance on PGO instrumented Windows binaries was still not
great even with the fix in D56955; out of the 2m41s linker runtime,
around 2 minutes were still being spent in ICF. I looked into this more
closely and discovered that the vast majority of the runtime was being
spent segregating .pdata sections with the following relocation chain:
.pdata -> identical .text -> unique PGO counter (not eligible for ICF)
This patch causes us to perform 2 rounds of relocation hash
propagation, which allows the hash for the .pdata sections to
incorporate the identifier from the PGO counter. With that, the amount
of time spent in ICF was reduced to about 2 seconds. I also found that
the same change led to a significant ICF performance improvement in a
regular release build of Chromium's chrome_child.dll, where ICF time
was reduced from around 1s to around 700ms.
With the same change applied to the ELF linker, median of 100 runs
for lld-speed-test/chrome reduced from 4.53s to 4.45s on my machine.
I also experimented with increasing the number of propagation rounds
further, but I did not observe any further significant performance
improvements linking Chromium or Firefox.

It turns out that sections in PGO instrumented object files on Windows
contain a large number of relocations pointing to themselves. With
r347429 this can cause many sections to receive the same hash (usually
zero) as a result of a section's hash being xor'ed with itself.
This patch causes the COFF and ELF linkers to avoid this problem
by adding the hash of the relocated section instead of xor'ing it.
On my machine this causes the regressing test case
provided by Mozilla to terminate in 2m41s.

I was honestly a bit surprised that we didn't do this before. This
patch is to handle "-" as the stdout so that if you pass `-o -` to
lld, for example, it writes an output to stdout instead of file `-`.
I thought that we might want to handle this at a higher level than
FileOutputBuffer, because if we land this patch, we can no longer
create a file whose name is `-` (there's a workaround though; you can
pass `./-` instead of `-`). However, because raw_fd_ostream already
handles `-` as a special file name, I think it's okay and actually
consistent to handle `-` as a special name in FileOutputBuffer.

Thanks to Alex Bradbury for pointing this out, and the fact that I never

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.
llvm-svn: 351636
This installs the new developer policy and moves all of the license
files across all LLVM projects in the monorepo to the new license
structure. The remaining projects will be moved independently.
Note that I've left odd formatting and other idiosyncracies of the
legacy license structure text alone to make the diff easier to read.
Critically, note that we do not in any case *remove* the old license
notice or terms, as that remains necessary until we finish the
relicensing process.
I've updated a few license files that refer to the LLVM license to
instead simply refer generically to whatever license the LLVM project is
under, basically trying to minimize confusion.
This is really the culmination of so many people. Chris led the
community discussions, drafted the policy update and organized the
multi-year string of meeting between lawyers across the community to
figure out the strategy. Numerous lawyers at companies in the community
spent their time figuring out initial answers, and then the Foundation's
lawyer Heather Meeker has done *so* much to help refine and get us ready
here. I could keep going on, but I just want to make sure everyone
realizes what a huge community effort this has been from the begining.

As a follow on to D56666 (r351186) there is a case when taking the address
of an ifunc when linking -pie that can generate a spurious can't create
dynamic relocation R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 against symbol in readonly
segment. Specifically the case is where the ifunc is in the same
translation unit as the address taker, so given -fpie the compiler knows
the ifunc is defined in the executable so it can use a non-got-generating
relocation.
The error message is due to R_AARCH64_PLT_PAGE_PC not being added to
isRelExpr, its non PLT equivalent R_AARCH64_PAGE_PC is already in
isRelExpr.

By default LLD will generate position independent Thunks when the --pie or
--shared option is used. Reference to absolute addresses is permitted in
other cases. For some embedded systems position independent thunks are
needed for code that executes before the MMU has been set up. The option
--pic-veneer is used by ld.bfd to force position independent thunks.
The patch adds --pic-veneer as the option is needed for the Linux kernel
on Arm.

When the range between the source and target of a V7PILongThunk exceeded an
int32 we would trigger a relocation out of range error for the
R_ARM_MOVT_PREL or R_ARM_THM_MOVT_PREL relocation. This case can happen when
linking the linux kernel as it is loaded above 0xf0000000.
There are two parts to the fix.
- Remove the overflow check for R_ARM_MOVT_PREL or R_ARM_THM_MOVT_PREL. The
ELF for the ARM Architecture document defines these relocations as having no
overflow checking so the check was spurious.
- Use int64_t for the offset calculation, in line with similar thunks so
that PC + (S - P) < 32-bits. This results in less surprising disassembly.

The section and offset can be very helpful in diagnosing certian errors.
For example on a relocation overflow or misalignment diagnostic:
test.c:(function foo): relocation R_PPC64_ADDR16_DS out of range: ...
The function foo can have many R_PPC64_ADDR16_DS relocations. Adding the offset
and section will identify exactly which relocation is causing the failure.
