The D93881 added functionality which preserve ownership for output file
if llvm-objcopy is called under root. That code was added into the place
where output file is created. The llvm-objcopy already has a function which
sets/restores rights/permissions for the output file.
That is the restoreStatOnFile() function. This patch moves code
(preserving ownershipping) into the restoreStatOnFile() function.

As of binutils 2.36, GNU strip calls chown(2) for "sudo strip foo" and
"sudo strip foo -o foo", but no "sudo strip foo -o bar" or "sudo strip
foo -o ./foo". In other words, while "sudo strip foo -o bar" creates a
new file bar with root access, "sudo strip foo" will keep the owner and
group of foo unchanged. Currently llvm-objcopy and llvm-strip behave
differently, always changing the owner and gropu to root. The
discrepancy prevents Chrome OS from migrating to llvm-objcopy and
llvm-strip as they change file ownership and cause intended users/groups
to lose access when invoked by sudo with the following sequence
(recommended in man page of GNU strip).
1.<Link the executable as normal.>
1.<Copy "foo" to "foo.full">
1.<Run "strip --strip-debug foo">
1.<Run "objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=foo.full foo">
This patch makes llvm-objcopy and llvm-strip follow GNU's behavior.

Summary:
Add a flag `F_no_mmap` to `FileOutputBuffer` to support
`--[no-]mmap-output-file` in ELF LLD. LLD currently explicitly ignores
this flag for compatibility with GNU ld and gold.
We need this flag to speed up link time for large binaries in certain
scenarios. When we link some of our larger binaries we find that LLD
takes 50+ GB of memory, which causes memory pressure. The memory
pressure causes the VM to flush dirty pages of the output file to disk.
This is normally okay, since we should be flushing cold pages. However,
when using BtrFS with compression we need to write 128KB at a time when
we flush a page. If any page in that 128KB block is written again, then
it must be flushed a second time, and so on. Since LLD doesn't write
sequentially this causes write amplification. The same 128KB block will
end up being flushed multiple times, causing the linker to many times
more IO than necessary. We've observed 3-5x faster builds with
-no-mmap-output-file when we hit this scenario.
The bad scenario only applies to compressed filesystems, which group
together multiple pages into a single compressed block. I've tested
BtrFS, but the problem will be present for any compressed filesystem
on Linux, since it is caused by the VM.
Silently ignoring --no-mmap-output-file caused a silent regression when
we switched from gold to lld. We pass --no-mmap-output-file to fix this
edge case, but since lld silently ignored the flag we didn't realize it
wasn't being respected.
Benchmark building a 9 GB binary that exposes this edge case. I linked 3
times with --mmap-output-file and 3 times with --no-mmap-output-file and
took the average. The machine has 24 cores @ 2.4 GHz, 112 GB of RAM,
BtrFS mounted with -compress-force=zstd, and an 80% full disk.
| Mode | Time |
|---------|-------|
| mmap | 894 s |
| no mmap | 126 s |
When compression is disabled, BtrFS performs just as well with and
without mmap on this benchmark.
I was unable to reproduce the regression with any binaries in
lld-speed-test.

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.

FileOutputBuffer creates a temp file and on commit atomically
renames the temp file to the destination file. Sometimes we
want to modify an existing file in place, but still have the
atomicity guarantee. To do this we can initialize the contents
of the temp file from the destination file (if it exists), that
way the resulting FileOutputBuffer can have only selective
bytes modified. Committing will then atomically replace the
destination file as desired.
llvm-svn: 335902
This patch is to rewrite FileOutputBuffer as two separate classes;
one for file-backed output buffer and the other for memory-backed
output buffer. I think the new code is easier to follow because two
different implementations are now actually separated as different
classes.
Unlike the previous implementation, the class that does not replace the
final output file using rename(2) does not create a temporary file at
all. Instead, it allocates memory using mmap(2) and use it. I think
this is an improvement because it is now guaranteed that the temporary
memory region doesn't trigger any I/O and there's now zero chance to
leave a temporary file behind. Also, it shouldn't impose new restrictions
because were using mmap IO too.

When writing to a non regular file we cannot rename to it. Since we
have to write, we may as well create a temporary file to avoid trying
to create an unique file in /dev when trying to write to /dev/null.

The idea of this patch is to turn llvm/Support/system_error.h into a
transitional header that just brings in the erorr_code api to the llvm
namespace. I will remove it shortly afterwards.
The cases where the general idea needed some tweaking:
* std::errc is a namespace in msvc, so we cannot use "using std::errc". I could
add an #ifdef, but there were not that many uses, so I just added std:: to
them in this patch.
* Template specialization had to be moved to the std namespace in this
patch set already.
* The msvc implementation of default_error_condition doesn't seem to
provide the same transformations as we need. Not too surprising since
the standard doesn't actually say what "equivalent" means. I fixed the
problem by keeping our old mapping and using it at error_code
construction time.
Despite these shortcomings I think this is still a good thing. Some reasons:
* The different implementations of system_error might improve over time.
* It removes 925 lines of code from llvm already.
* It removes 6313 bytes from the text segment of the clang binary when
it is built with gcc and 2816 bytes when building with clang and
libstdc++.

This will allow external callers of these functions to switch over time
rather than forcing a breaking change all a once. These particular
functions were determined by building clang/lld/lldb.

Since the llvm::sys::fs::map_file_pages() support function it relies on
is not yet implemented on Windows, the unit tests for FileOutputBuffer
are currently conditionalized to run only on unix.
