Instead of accumulating the content in a fragment first, just write it
to the output stream.
Also put it first in the section table, so that we never have to worry
about its index being >= SHN_LORESERVE.

We have to avoid converting a reference to a global into a reference to a local,
but it is fine to look past a local.

I just moved the comment and added thet test.

Similar to r235222, but for the weak symbol case.
In an "ideal" assembler/object format an expression would always refer to the
final value and A-B would only be computed from a section in the same
comdat as A and B with A and B strong.
Unfortunately that is not the case with debug info on ELF, so we need an
heuristic. Since we need an heuristic, we may as well use the same one as
gas:
* call weak_sym : produces a relocation, even if in the same section.
* A - weak_sym and weak_sym -A: don't produce a relocation if we can
compute it.
This fixes pr23272 and changes the fix of pr22815 to match what gas does.

Part of pr23272.
A small annoyance with the assembly syntax we implement is that given an
expression there is no way to know if what is desired is the value of that
expression for the symbols in this file or for the final values of those
symbols in a link.
The first case is useful for use in sections that get discarded or ignored
if the section they are describing is discarded.
For axample, consider A-B where A and B are in the same comdat section.
We can compute the value of the difference in the section that is present in
the current .o and if that section survives to the final DSO the value will
still will be correct.
But the section is in a comdat. Another section from another object file
might be used istead. We know that that section will define A and B, but
we have no idea what the value of A-B might be.
In practice we have to assume that the intention is to compute the value
in the current section since otherwise the is no way to create something like
the debug aranges section.

Linkers normally read all the relocations upfront to compute the references
between sections. Putting them together is a bit more cache friendly.
I benchmarked linking a Release+Asserts clang with gold on a vm. I tried all
4 combinations of --gc-sections/no --gc-section hot and cold cache.
I cleared the cache with
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
and warmed it up by running the link once before timing the subsequent ones.
With cold cache and --gc-sections the time goes from
1.86130781665 +- 0.01713126697463843 seconds
to
1.82370735105 +- 0.014127522318814516 seconds
With cold cache and no --gc-sections the time goes from
1.6087245435500002 +- 0.012999066825178644 seconds
to
1.5687122041500001 +- 0.013145850126026619 seconds
With hot cache and no --gc-sections the time goes from
0.926200939 ( +- 0.33% ) seconds
to
0.907200079 ( +- 0.31% ) seconds
With hot cache and gc sections the time goes from
1.183038049 ( +- 0.34% ) seconds
to
1.147355862 ( +- 0.39% ) seconds

Now we don't have to do 2 synchronized passes to compute offsets and then
write the file.
This also includes a fix for the corner case of seeking in /dev/null. It
is not an error, but on some systems (Linux) the returned offset is
always 0. An error is signaled by returning -1. This is checked by
the existing tests now that "clang -o /dev/null ..." seeks.

Some targets (ie. Mips) have additional rules for ordering the relocation
table entries. Allow them to override generic sortRelocs(), which sorts
entries by Offset.
Then override this function for Mips, to emit HI16 and GOT16 relocations
against the local symbol in pair with the corresponding LO16 relocation.

One could make the argument for writing it immediately after the ELF header,
but writing it in the middle of the sections like we were doing just makes
it harder for no reason.

Before when deciding if we needed a relocation in A-B, we wore only checking
if A was weak.
This fixes the asymmetry.
The "InSet" argument should probably be renamed to "ForValue", since InSet is
very MachO specific, but doing so in this patch would make it hard to read.
This fixes PR22815.

These sections are never looked up and we know when have to create them. Use
that to save adding them to the regular map and avoid a symbol->string->symbol
conversion for the group symbol.
This also makes the implementation independent of the details of how unique
sections are implemented.
llvm-svn: 233539
The previous logic was to first try without relocations at all
and failing that stop on the first defined symbol.
That was inefficient and incorrect in the case part of the
expression could be simplified and another part could not
(see included test).
We now stop the evaluation when we get to a variable whose value
can change (i.e. is weak).
llvm-svn: 233187
In a subtraction of the form A - B, if B is weak, there is no way to represent
that on ELF since all relocations add the value of a symbol.

The operand flag word for ISD::INLINEASM nodes now contains a 15-bit
memory constraint ID when the operand kind is Kind_Mem. This constraint
ID is a numeric equivalent to the constraint code string and is converted
with a target specific hook in TargetLowering.
This patch maps all memory constraints to InlineAsm::Constraint_m so there
is no functional change at this point. It just proves that using these
previously unused bits in the encoding of the flag word doesn't break
anything.
The next patch will make each target preserve the current mapping of
everything to Constraint_m for itself while changing the target independent
implementation of the hook to return Constraint_Unknown appropriately. Each
target will then be adapted in separate patches to use appropriate
Constraint_* values.
PR22883 was caused the matching operands copying the whole of the operand flags
for the matched operand. This included the constraint id which needed to be
replaced with the operand number. This has been fixed with a conversion
function. Following on from this, matching operands also used the operand
number as the constraint id. This has been fixed by looking up the matched
operand and taking it from there.

Add support for having multiple sections with the same name and comdat.
Using this in combination with -ffunction-sections allows LLVM to output a .o
file with mulitple sections named .text. This saves space by avoiding long
unique names of the form .text.<C++ mangled name>.

Original message:
Invert the section relocation map.
It now points from rel section to section. Use it to set sh_info, avoiding
a brittle name lookup.
