LLVM TargetMachines default to using the (now-legacy) .ctors
representation of init functions. Mixing .ctors and .init_array
representations can cause issues when linking with lld.

This happens in practice for:

  • Our profiling runtime which is currently implicitly built with
    .init_array since it is built by clang, which sets this field.
  • External C/C++ code that may be linked into the same process.

Fixes: #71233

We've been talking about compatibility on #71233 -- let's get a real CI build that I can actually test on an old x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu system, at least.

@bors try

You also mentioned the possibility of a Target option for this. I think we probably do want that, as well as a -Z option for manual control, similar to -Zplt, -Zrelro-level, etc. We can default to .init_array if compatibility is broad enough, but still have a way to fall back, just like Clang 10 is still offering -fno-use-init-array.

Sorry about that -- I didn't see bors responding, and now I got it twice... oh well.

I added in -Z use-ctors and a TargetOptions field to govern .ctors use as requested, defaulting to .init_array usage.

☔ The latest upstream changes (presumably #71374) made this pull request unmergeable. Please resolve the merge conflicts.

When you rebase over #71374 please make sure you preserve the new alphabetical order. Also, it looks like you haven't updated the tests, please see the new comment at the top of DebuggingOptions.

Use .init_array rather than .ctors
0e7d5be 
LLVM TargetMachines default to using the (now-legacy) .ctors
representation of init functions. Mixing .ctors and .init_array
representations can cause issues when linking with lld.

This happens in practice for:

* Our profiling runtime which is currently implicitly built with
  .init_array since it is built by clang, which sets this field.
* External C/C++ code that may be linked into the same process.

To support legacy systems which may use .ctors, targets may now specify
that they use .ctors via the use_ctors attribute which defaults to
false.

For debugging and manual control, -Z use-ctors-section=yes/no will allow
manual override.

Fixes: rust-lang#71233

The patch looks OK, but I'd like a second opinion on making this change -- maybe @joshtriplett?

This seems reasonable to me; we should certainly use .init_array. However, lld really does need to handle the mix of .ctors and .init_array; that's not a Rust-specific issue.
