.addrsig_sym forces registering the symbol regardless whether it is otherwise
registered. This creates an undefined symbol which is inconvenient/undesired:
* `extern int x; void f() { (void)x; }` has inconsistent behavior whether `x` is emitted as an undefined symbol.
`-O0 -faddrsig` makes `x` undefined while other -O levels and -fno-addrsig eliminate the symbol.
* In ThinLTO, after a non-prevailing linkonce_odr definition is converted to available_externally, and then a declaration,
the addrsig code emits a symbol while the symbol is otherwise unseen.
D135427 fixed a bug that a non-prevailing `__cxx_global_var_init` was
incorrectly retained. However, the IR declaration causes an undesired
`.addrsig_sym __cxx_global_var_init`. This can be addressed in a way similar
to D101512 (`isTransitiveUsedByMetadataOnly`) but the increased
`OutStreamer->emitAddrsigSym(getSymbol(&GV));` complexity makes me nervous.
Just ignoring unregistered symbols circumvents the problem.

"Z" was so named when we had both gABI ELFCOMPRESS_ZLIB and the legacy .zdebug support.
Now we have just one zlib format, we should use the more descriptive name.
It's more natural to use uint8_t * (std::byte needs C++17 and llvm has
too much uint8_t *) and most callers use uint8_t * instead of char *.
The functions are recently moved into `llvm::compression::zlib::`, so
downstream projects need to make adaption anyway.
* Refactor compression namespaces across the project, making way for a possible
introduction of alternatives to zlib compression.
Changes are as follows:
* Relocate the `llvm::zlib` namespace to `llvm::compression::zlib`.

`.symver foo, foo@ver` creates the MCSymbolELF `foo@ver` whose almost all
attributes (including st_size) should inherit from `foo` (GNU as behavior).
a041ef1bd8 added st_size propagation which works
for many cases but fails for the following one:
```
.set __GLIBC_2_12_sys_errlist, _sys_errlist_internal
.type __GLIBC_2_12_sys_errlist,@object
.size __GLIBC_2_12_sys_errlist, 1080
.symver __GLIBC_2_12_sys_errlist, sys_errlist@GLIBC_2.12
...
_sys_errlist_internal:
.size _sys_errlist_internal, 1072
```
`sys_errlist@GLIBC_2.12`'s st_size is 1072 (incorrect), which does not match
`__GLIBC_2_12_sys_errlist`'s st_size: 1080.
The problem is that `Base` is (the final) `_sys_errlist_internal` while we want
to respect (the intermediate) `__GLIBC_2_12_sys_errlist`'s st_size.
Fix this by following the MCSymbolRefExpr assignment chain and finding
the closest non-null `getSize()`, which covers most needs. Notably MCBinaryExpr
is not handled, but it is rare enough to matter.

STB_GNU_UNIQUE should be treated in a way similar to STB_GLOBAL.
This fixes an "Invalid Binding" failure in an LLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=on build
for source files like glibc elf/tst-unique1mod1.c .
This bug has been benign so far because (a) Clang does not produce
%gnu_unique_object by itself (b) a non-assertion build likely picks the
STB_GLOBAL code path anyway.
With a sufficiently large output buffer, the only failure is Z_MEM_ERROR.
Check it and call the noreturn report_bad_alloc_error if applicable.
resize_for_overwrite may call report_bad_alloc_error as well.
Now that there is no other error type, we can replace the return type with void

The opt-out from rL236267 (2015) is untested and seems no longer needed (or not

sh_info links to a section, therefore SHF_INFO_LINK should be set as GNU as
does. The issue has been benign because linkers kindly combines relocation
sections w/ and w/o the flag.
... even on targets preferring RELA. The section is only consumed by ld.lld
which can handle REL.
Follow-up to D104080 as I explained in the review. There are two advantages:
* The D104080 code only handles RELA, so arm/i386/mips32 etc may warn for -fprofile-use=/-fprofile-sample-use= usage.
* Decrease object file size for RELA targets
While here, change the relocation to relocate weights, instead of 0,1,2,3,..
I failed to catch the issue during review.
Currently when .llvm.call-graph-profile is created by llvm it explicitly encodes the symbol indices. This section is basically a black box for post processing tools. For example, if we run strip -s on the object files the symbol table changes, but indices in that section do not. In non-visible behavior indices point to wrong symbols. The visible behavior indices point outside of Symbol table: "invalid symbol index".
This patch changes the format by using R_*_NONE relocations to indicate the from/to symbols. The Frequency (Weight) will still be in the .llvm.call-graph-profile, but symbol information will be in relocation section. In LLD information from both sections is used to reconstruct call graph profile. Relocations themselves will never be applied.
With this approach post processing tools that handle relocations correctly work for this section also. Tools can add/remove symbols and as long as they handle relocation sections with this approach information stays correct.
Doing a quick experiment with clang-13.
The size went up from 107KB to 322KB, aggregate of all the input sections. Size of clang-13 binary is ~118MB. For users of -fprofile-use/-fprofile-sample-use the size of object files will go up slightly, it will not impact final binary size.

As a resolution to https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25295 , GNU as
from binutils 2.35 supports the optional third argument for the .symver directive.
'remove' for a non-default version is useful:
`.symver def_v1, def@v1, remove` => def_v1 is not retained in the symbol table.
Previously the user has to strip the original symbol or specify a `local:`
version node in a version script to localize the symbol.
`.symver def, def@@v1, remove` and `.symver def, def@@@v1, remove` are supported
as well, though they are identical to `.symver def, def@@@v1`.
local/hidden are not useful so this patch does not implement them.
This change introduces support for zero flag ELF section groups to LLVM.
LLVM already supports COMDAT sections, which in ELF are a special type
of ELF section groups. These are generally useful to enable linker GC
where you want a group of sections to always travel together, that is to
be either retained or discarded as a whole, but without the COMDAT
semantics. Other ELF assemblers already support zero flag ELF section
groups and this change helps us reach feature parity.

As we don't sort local symbols, don't sort non-local symbols. This makes
non-local symbols appear in their register order, which matches GNU as. The
register order is nice in that you can write tests with interleaved CHECK
prefixes, e.g.
```
// CHECK: something about foo
.globl foo
foo:
// CHECK: something about bar
.globl bar
bar:
```
With the lexicographical order, the user needs to place lexicographical smallest
symbol first or keep CHECK prefixes in one place.
GNU as does not sort local symbols. This has several advantages:
* The .symtab order is roughly the symbol occurrence order.
* The closest preceding STT_SECTION symbol is the definition of a local symbol.
* The closest preceding STT_FILE symbol is the defining file of a local symbol, if there are multiple default-version .file directives. (Not implemented in MC.)
This relands D64327 with a more specific workaround for R_386_GOTOFF

.debug_info has quite a few .debug_str relocations (R_386_32/R_ARM_ABS32).
The original workaround was too general and introduced too many .L symbols
used just as relocation targets.
From the original review:
... it reduced the size of a big ARM-32 debug image by 33%. It contained ~68M
of relocations symbols out of total ~71M symbols (96% of symbols table was
generated for relocations with symbol).

-Wl,-O2 (and -Wl,-O3) is so rare that we should just lower the

"linked-to section" is used by the ELF spec. By analogy, "linked-to
symbol" is a good name for the signature symbol. The word "linked-to"
implies a directed edge and makes it clear its relation with "sh_link",
while one can argue that "associated" means an undirected edge.
Also, combine tests and add precise SMLoc to improve diagnostics.

For a target symbol defined in the same section, currently we don't emit
a relocation if VariantKind is VK_None (with few exceptions like RISC-V
relaxation), while GNU as emits one. This causes program behavior
differences with and without -ffunction-sections, and can break intended
symbol interposition in a -shared link.
```
.globl foo
foo:
call foo # no relocation. On other targets, may be written as b foo, etc
call bar # a relocation if bar is in another section (e.g. -ffunction-sections)
call foo@plt # a relocation
```
Unify these cases by always emitting a relocation. If we ever want to
optimize `call foo` in -shared links, we should emit a STB_LOCAL alias
and call via the alias.
ARM/thumb2-beq-fixup.s: we now emit a relocation to global_thumb_fn as GNU as does.
X86/Inputs/align-branch-64-2.s: we now emit R_X86_64_PLT32 to foo as GNU does.
ELF/relax.s: rewrite the test as target-in-same-section.s .
We omitted relocations to `global` and now emit R_X86_64_PLT32.
Note, GNU as does not emit a relocation for `jmp global` (maybe its own
bug). Our new behavior is compatible except `jmp global`.
