In the case your framework bundles contain relocatable objects, and your
objects include LC_LINKER_OPTIONs for the framework, previously they
would not be deduplicated like they would have if they were static
archives. This was also the case if you passed `-framework` for the
framework as well.

Earlier in LLD's evolution, I tried to create the illusion that
subsections were indistinguishable from "top-level" sections. Thus, even
though the subsections shared many common field values, I hid those
common values away in a private Shared struct (see D105305). More
recently, however, @gkm added a public `Section` struct in D113241 that
served as an explicit way to store values that are common to an entire
set of subsections (aka InputSections). Now that we have another "common
value" struct, `Shared` has been rendered redundant. All its fields can
be moved into `Section` instead, and the pointer to `Shared` can be replaced
with a pointer to `Section`.

This `Section` pointer also has the advantage of letting us inspect other
subsections easily, simplifying the implementation of {D118798}.

P.S. I do think that having both `Section` and `InputSection` makes for
a slightly confusing naming scheme. I considered renaming `InputSection`
to `Subsection`, but that would break the symmetry with `OutputSection`.
It would also make us deviate from LLD-ELF's naming scheme.

Main motivation: including `llvm/CodeGen/CommandFlags.h` in
`CommonLinkerContext.h` means that the declaration of `llvm::Reloc` is
visible in any file that includes `CommonLinkerContext.h`. Since our
cpp files have both `using namespace llvm` and `using namespace
lld::macho`, this results in conflicts with `lld::macho::Reloc`.

I suppose we could put `llvm::Reloc` into a nested namespace, but in general,
I think we should avoid transitively including too many header files in
a very widely used header like `CommonLinkerContext.h`.

RegisterCodeGenFlags' ctor initializes a bunch of function-`static`
structures and does nothing else, so it should be fine to "initialize"
it as a temporary stack variable rather than as a file static.

If both an order file and a call graph profile are present, the edges of the
call graph which use symbols present in the order file are not used. All of
the symbols in the order file will appear at the beginning of the section just
as they do currently. In other words, the highest priority derived from the
call graph will be below the lowest priority derived from the order file.

Practically, this change renames CallGraphSort.{h,cpp} to SectionPriorities.{h,cpp},
and most order file and call graph profile related code is moved into the new
file to reduce duplication.

Symbols for which `canBeOmittedFromSymbolTable()` is true should be
treated as private externs. This diff tries to do that by unsetting the
ExportDynamic bit. It seems to mostly work with the FullLTO backend, but
with the ThinLTO backend, the `local_unnamed_addr` symbols still fail to
be properly hidden. Nonetheless, this is a step in the right direction.

I've documented all the remaining differences between our behavior and
LD64's in the lto-internalized-unnamed-addr.ll test.

The existing hashing of stubsHelperIndex has mostly been a no-op* for
some time now (ever since we made ICF run before dylib symbols get their
stubs indices assigned). I guess we could consider hashing the name +
filename of the DylibSymbol instead, but I'm not sure the overhead's
worth it... moreover, LLD/ELF only hashes their Defined symbols as well.

*: Technically it does change the hash value since stubsHelperIndex is
initialized to `UINT32_MAX` by default. But since all stubsHelperIndex
values are the same at when ICF runs, they don't add any useful
information to the hash.
... from a `uint64_t` to a `uint32_t`. (LLD-ELF uses a `uint32_t` too.)

This reverts commit 112135e.
Breaks lld/test/MachO/{icf.s,cfstring-dedup.s,invalid/cfstring.s}
`__cfstring` has embedded addends that foil ICF's hashing / equality
checks. (We can ignore embedded addends when doing ICF because the same
information gets recorded in our Reloc structs.) Therefore, in order to
properly dedup CFStrings, we create a mutable copy of the CFString and
zero out the embedded addends before performing any hashing / equality
checks.

(We did in fact have a partial implementation of CFString deduplication
already. However, it only worked when the cstrings they point to are at
identical offsets in their object files.)

I anticipate this approach can be extended to other similar
statically-allocated struct sections in the future.

In addition, we previously treated all references with differing addends
as unequal. This is not true when the references are to literals:
different addends may point to the same literal in the output binary. In
particular, `__cfstring` has such references to `__cstring`. I've
adjusted ICF's `equalsConstant` logic accordingly, and I've added a few
more tests to make sure the addend-comparison code path is adequately
covered.

ld64 breaks down `__objc_classrefs` on a per-word level and deduplicates
them. This greatly reduces the number of bind entries emitted (and
therefore the amount of work `dyld` has to do at runtime). For

binds from 912 to 190, getting us to parity with ld64 in this aspect.

Previously, we aligned every cstring to 16 bytes as a temporary hack to
deal with llvm#50135. However, it
was highly wasteful in terms of binary size.

To recap, in contrast to ELF, which puts strings that need different
alignments into different sections, `clang`'s Mach-O backend puts them
all in one section.  Strings that need to be aligned have the .p2align
directive emitted before them, which simply translates into zero padding
in the object file. In other words, we have to infer the alignment of
the cstrings from their addresses.

We differ slightly from ld64 in how we've chosen to align these
cstrings. Both LLD and ld64 preserve the number of trailing zeros in
each cstring's address in the input object files. When deduplicating
identical cstrings, both linkers pick the cstring whose address has more
trailing zeros, and preserve the alignment of that address in the final
binary. However, ld64 goes a step further and also preserves the offset
of the cstring from the last section-aligned address.  I.e. if a cstring
is at offset 18 in the input, with a section alignment of 16, then both
LLD and ld64 will ensure the final address is 2-byte aligned (since
`18 == 16 + 2`). But ld64 will also ensure that the final address is of
the form 16 * k + 2 for some k (which implies 2-byte alignment).

Note that ld64's heuristic means that a dedup'ed cstring's final address is
dependent on the order of the input object files. E.g. if in addition to the
cstring at offset 18 above, we have a duplicate one in another file with a
`.cstring` section alignment of 2 and an offset of zero, then ld64 will pick
the cstring from the object file earlier on the command line (since both have
the same number of trailing zeros in their address). So the final cstring may
either be at some address `16 * k + 2` or at some address `2 * k`.

I've opted not to follow this behavior primarily for implementation
simplicity, and secondarily to save a few more bytes. It's not clear to me
that preserving the section alignment + offset is ever necessary, and there
are many cases that are clearly redundant. In particular, if an x86_64 object
file contains some strings that are accessed via SIMD instructions, then the
.cstring section in the object file will be 16-byte-aligned (since SIMD
requires its operand addresses to be 16-byte aligned). However, there will
typically also be other cstrings in the same file that aren't used via SIMD
and don't need this alignment. They will be emitted at some arbitrary address
`A`, but ld64 will treat them as being 16-byte aligned with an offset of
`16 % A`.

I have verified that the two repros in llvm#50135
work well with the new alignment behavior.

Fixes llvm#54036.

With -platform_version flags for two distinct platforms,
this writes a LC_BUILD_VERSION header for each.

The motivation is that this is needed for self-hosting with lld as linker
after D124059.

To create a zippered output at the clang driver level, pass

    -target arm64-apple-macos -darwin-target-variant arm64-apple-ios-macabi

to create a zippered dylib.

(In Xcode's clang, `-darwin-target-variant` is spelled just `-target-variant`.)

(If you pass `-target arm64-apple-ios-macabi -target-variant arm64-apple-macos`
instead, ld64 crashes!)

This results in two -platform_version flags being passed to the linker.

ld64 also verifies that the iOS SDK version is at least 13.1. We don't do that
yet. But ld64 also does that for other platforms and we don't. So we need to
do that at some point, but not in this patch.

Only dylib and bundle outputs can be zippered.

I verified that a Catalyst app linked against a dylib created with

    clang -shared foo.cc -o libfoo.dylib \
          -target arm64-apple-macos \
          -target-variant arm64-apple-ios-macabi \
          -Wl,-install_name,@rpath/libfoo.dylib \
          -fuse-ld=$PWD/out/gn/bin/ld64.lld

runs successfully. (The app calls a function `f()` in libfoo.dylib
that returns a const char* "foo", and NSLog(@"%s")s it.)

ld64 is a bit more permissive when writing zippered outputs,
see references to "unzippered twins". That's not implemented yet.
(If anybody wants to implement that, D124275 is a good start.)

The allocated memory itself is mutable, so let's expose that to the
caller. LLD has a use case for this.

This just removes the code that gates the logic. The main issue here is
perf impact: without {D122258}, LLD takes a significant perf hit because
it now has to do a lot more work in the input parsing phase. But with
that change to eliminate unnecessary EH frames from input object files,
the perf overhead here is minimal. Concretely, here are the numbers for
some builds as measured on my 16-core Mac Pro:

**chromium_framework**

This is without the use of `-femit-dwarf-unwind=no-compact-unwind`:

             base           diff           difference (95% CI)
  sys_time   1.826 ± 0.019  1.962 ± 0.034  [  +6.5% ..   +8.4%]
  user_time  9.306 ± 0.054  9.926 ± 0.082  [  +6.2% ..   +7.1%]
  wall_time  8.225 ± 0.068  8.947 ± 0.128  [  +8.0% ..   +9.6%]
  samples    15             22

With that flag enabled, the regression mostly disappears, as hoped:

             base           diff           difference (95% CI)
  sys_time   1.839 ± 0.062  1.866 ± 0.068  [  -0.9% ..   +3.8%]
  user_time  9.452 ± 0.068  9.490 ± 0.067  [  -0.1% ..   +0.9%]
  wall_time  8.383 ± 0.127  8.452 ± 0.114  [  -0.1% ..   +1.8%]
  samples    17             21

**Unnamed internal app**

Without `-femit-dwarf-unwind`, this is the perf hit:

             base           diff           difference (95% CI)
  sys_time   1.372 ± 0.029  1.317 ± 0.024  [  -4.6% ..   -3.5%]
  user_time  2.835 ± 0.028  2.980 ± 0.027  [  +4.8% ..   +5.4%]
  wall_time  3.205 ± 0.079  3.383 ± 0.066  [  +4.9% ..   +6.2%]
  samples    102            83

With `-femit-dwarf-unwind`, the perf hit almost disappears:

             base           diff           difference (95% CI)
  sys_time   1.274 ± 0.026  1.270 ± 0.025  [  -0.9% ..   +0.3%]
  user_time  2.812 ± 0.023  2.822 ± 0.035  [  +0.1% ..   +0.7%]
  wall_time  3.166 ± 0.047  3.174 ± 0.059  [  -0.2% ..   +0.7%]
  samples    95             97

Just for fun, I measured the impact of `-femit-dwarf-unwind` on ld64
(`base` has the extra DWARF unwind info in the input object files,
`diff` doesn't):

             base           diff           difference (95% CI)
  sys_time   1.128 ± 0.010  1.124 ± 0.023  [  -1.3% ..   +0.6%]
  user_time  7.176 ± 0.030  7.106 ± 0.094  [  -1.5% ..   -0.4%]
  wall_time  7.874 ± 0.041  7.795 ± 0.121  [  -1.7% ..   -0.3%]
  samples    16             25

And for LLD:

             base           diff           difference (95% CI)
  sys_time   1.315 ± 0.019  1.280 ± 0.019  [  -3.2% ..   -2.0%]
  user_time  2.980 ± 0.022  2.822 ± 0.016  [  -5.5% ..   -5.0%]
  wall_time  3.369 ± 0.038  3.175 ± 0.033  [  -6.2% ..   -5.3%]
  samples    47             47

So parsing the extra EH frames is a lot more expensive for us than for
ld64. But given that we are quite a lot faster than ld64 to begin with,
I guess this isn't entirely unexpected...

This section is marked S_ATTR_LIVE_SUPPORT in input files, which meant
that on arm64, we were unnecessarily preserving FDEs if we e.g. had
multiple weak definitions for a function. Worse, we would actually
produce an invalid `__eh_frame` section in that case, because the CIE
associated with the unnecessary FDE would still get dead-stripped and
we'd end up with a dangling FDE. We set up associations from functions
to their FDEs, so dead-stripping will just work naturally, and we can
clear S_ATTR_LIVE_SUPPORT from our input `__eh_frame` sections to fix
dead-stripping.

(cherry picked from commit a745e47)
Previously we only supporting using the system pointer size (aka the
`absptr` encoding) because `llvm-mc`'s CFI directives always generate EH
frames with that encoding. But libffi uses 4-byte-encoded, hand-rolled
EH frames, so this patch adds support for it.

Fixes llvm#56576.

(cherry picked from commit 6c9f681)
If there are multiple symbols at the same address, our unwind info
implementation assumes that we always register unwind entries to a
single canonical symbol.

This assumption was violated by the `registerEhFrame` code.

Fixes llvm#56570.
