This reverts commit c30e6447c0225f675773d07f2b6d4e3c2b962155.
It exposed brittle support for __x86.get_pc_thunk.bx.
Need to think a bit how to support __x86.get_pc_thunk.bx.

In GCC -fgnu-unique output, STB_GNU_UNIQUE symbols are always defined relative
to a section in a COMDAT group. Currently `other` cannot be STB_GNU_UNIQUE for
valid input, so this patch is NFC.
If we switch to the model that ignores COMDAT resolution when performing symbol
resolution (D120626), this will fix bogus `relocation refers to a symbol in a
discarded section` errors when mixing -fno-gnu-unique objects with -fgnu-unique
objects.

GNU ld 2.38 added -z pack-relative-relocs which is similar to
--pack-dyn-relocs=relr but synthesizes the `GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR` version
dependency if a shared object named `libc.so.*` has a `GLIBC_2.*` version
dependency.
This is used to implement the (as some glibc folks call) version lockout
mechanism. Add this option, because glibc does not want to support
--pack-dyn-relocs=relr which does not add `GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR`.
See https://maskray.me/blog/2021-10-31-relative-relocations-and-relr for
detail.

Combined with the previous change, lld executable is ~2K smaller and some code
paths using InputSection::getParent are more efficient.
The fragmented headers lead to a design limitation that OutputSection has to be
incomplete, so we cannot use static_cast.
Add an OutputDesc class inheriting from SectionCommand. An OutputDesc wraps an
OutputSection. This change allows InputSection::getParent to be inlined.

ObjFile::parse combines symbol initialization and resolution. Many tasks
unrelated to symbol resolution can be postponed and parallelized. This patch
extracts local symbol initialization and parallelizes it.
Technically the new function initializeLocalSymbols can be merged into
ObjFile::postParse, but functions like getSrcMsg may access the
uninitialized (all nullptr) local part of InputFile::symbols.

addWrappedSymbols may trigger archive extraction: split stack implementation
uses --wrap=pthread_create, which extracts libgcc.a(generic-morestack-thread.o).
This fixes the regression caused by 09602d3b47ec83abb2c26efa5a199c13b72c7abf by
making the invariant satisfied: no more non-compileBitcodeFiles object file is
produced at postParseObjectFile.

When GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT is enabled, ld.lld will create .plt output
section even if there is no PLT entry. Fix this by implementing
IBTPltSection::isNeeded instead of using the default code path (which always

* detect `def_tls.o undef_nontls.o` violation

* allow `--defsym tls1=tls2 def_tls.o`
As a degraded error checking, `--defsym tls1=42` violation will not be detected.
Symbol.h depends on InputFiles.h. This change moves us toward dropping the
weird dependency.
The call sites will become slightly uglier (`cast<SharedFile>(s->file)`), but
the compromise is acceptable.
In GNU ld, the definition precedence is: regular symbol assignment > relocatable object definition > `PROVIDE` symbol assignment.
GNU ld's internal linker scripts define the non-reserved (by C and C++)
edata/end/etext with `PROVIDE` so the relocatable object definition takes
precedence. This makes sense because `int end;` is valid.
We currently redefine such symbols if they are COMMON, but not if they are
regular definitions, so `int end;` with -fcommon is essentially a UB in ld.lld.
Fix this (also improve consistency and match GNU ld) by using the
`isDefined` code path for `isCommon`. In GNU ld, reserved identifiers like
`__ehdr_start` do not use `PROVIDE`, while we treat them all as `PROVIDE`, this
seems fine.

To decouple symbol initialization and section initialization, `Defined::section`
assignment should be postponed after input file parsing. To avoid spurious
duplicate definition error due to two definitions in COMDAT groups of the same
signature, we should postpone the duplicate symbol check.
The function is called postScan instead of a more specific name like
checkDuplicateSymbols, because we may merge Symbol::mergeProperties into
postScan. It is placed after compileBitcodeFiles to apply to ET_REL files
produced by LTO. This causes minor diagnostic regression
for skipLinkedOutput configurations: ld.lld --thinlto-index-only a.bc b.o
(bitcode definition prevails) won't detect duplicate symbol error. I think this
is an acceptable compromise. The important cases where (a) both files are
bitcode or (b) --thinlto-index-only is unused are still detected.

In many call sites we know uncompression cannot happen (non-SHF_ALLOC, or the

Prefer rawData in these cases. data() increases code size and prevents
optimization on rawData.
D118577: the 0.1~1.1% .strtab size reduction does not justify the 3~6%
link time increase. Just remove it even for -O2. release/14.x

Fix https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1578
caused by D118577 (empty string not in stringMap).
Making a (NOLOAD) section SHT_PROGBITS is fishy (the user may expect all-zero
content, but the linker does not check that), but some projects (e.g. Linux
kernel https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1597) traditionally rely
on the behavior. Issue a warning to not break them.
The current output section type allows to set the ELF section type to
SHT_PROGBITS or SHT_NOLOAD. This patch allows an arbitrary section value
to be specified. Some common SHT_* literal names are supported as well.
```
SECTIONS {
note (TYPE=SHT_NOTE) : { BYTE(8) *(note) }
init_array ( TYPE=14 ) : { QUAD(14) }
fini_array (TYPE = SHT_FINI_ARRAY) : { QUAD(15) }
}
```
When `sh_type` is specified, it is an error if an input section has a different type.
Our syntax is compatible with GNU ld 2.39 (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28841).
