#69295 demoted Defined symbols relative to discarded sections. If such a symbol is unreferenced, the desired behavior is to eliminate it from .symtab just like --gc-sections discarded definitions. Linux kernel's CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU=y configuration expects that the unreferenced `unused` is not emitted to .symtab (https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/2006). For relocations referencing demoted symbols, the symbol index restores to 0 like older lld (`R_X86_64_64 0` in `discard-section.s`). Fix #85048 (cherry picked from commit 8fe3e70e810b409dce36f6d415e86f0f9b1cf22d)
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
