"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`.

Recommit r373168, which was reverted by r373242. This actually exposed a
boringssl bug which has been fixed for more than one month.
For the following two cases, we currently suppress the symbols. This
patch emits them (compatible with GNU as).
* `test2_a = undef`: if `undef` is otherwise unused.
* `.hidden hidden`: if `hidden` is unused. This is the main point of the
patch, because omitting the symbol would cause a linker semantic
difference.
It causes a behavior change that is not compatible with GNU as:
.weakref foo1, bar1
When neither foo1 nor bar1 is used, we now emit bar1, which is arguably
more consistent.
Another change is that we will emit .TOC. for .TOC.@tocbase . For this
directive, suppressing .TOC. can be seen as a size optimization, but we
choose to drop it for simplicity and consistency.

GNU as keeps the original symbol in the symbol table for defined @ and
@@, but suppresses it in other cases (@@@ or undefined). The original
symbol is usually undesired:
In a shared object, the original symbol can be localized with a version
script, but it is hard to remove/localize in an archive:
1) a post-processing step removes the undesired original symbol
2) consumers (executable) of the archive are built with the
version script
Moreover, it can cause linker issues like binutils PR/18703 if the
original symbol name and the base name of the versioned symbol is the
same (both ld.bfd and gold have some code to work around defined @ and
@@). In lld, if it sees f and f@v1:
--version-script =(printf 'v1 {};') => f and f@v1
--version-script =(printf 'v1 { f; };') => f@v1 and f@@v1
It can be argued that @@@ added on 2000-11-13 corrected the @ and @@ mistake.
This patch catches some more multiple version errors (defined @ and @@),
and consistently suppress the original symbol. This addresses all the
problems listed above.
If the user wants other aliases to the versioned symbol, they can copy
the original symbol to other symbol names with .set directive, e.g.
.symver f, f@v1 # emit f@v1 but not f into .symtab
.set f_impl, f # emit f_impl into .symtab

Deleted code was introduced as a work around for a bug in the gold linker

This condition is too strict and when a code is compiled with debug info
it forces generation of numerous relocations with symbol for architectures
that do not have relocation addend.

Summary:
The directive defines a symbol as an group/local memory (LDS) symbol.
LDS symbols behave similar to common symbols for the purposes of ELF,
using the processor-specific SHN_AMDGPU_LDS as section index.
It is the linker and/or runtime loader's job to "instantiate" LDS symbols
and resolve relocations that reference them.
It is not possible to initialize LDS memory (not even zero-initialize
as for .bss).
We want to be able to link together objects -- starting with relocatable
objects, but possible expanding to shared objects in the future -- that
access LDS memory in a flexible way.
LDS memory is in an address space that is entirely separate from the
address space that contains the program image (code and normal data),
so having program segments for it doesn't really make sense.
Furthermore, we want to be able to compile multiple kernels in a
compilation unit which have disjoint use of LDS memory. In that case,
we may want to place LDS symbols differently for different kernels
to save memory (LDS memory is very limited and physically private to
each kernel invocation), so we can't simply place LDS symbols in a
.lds section.
Hence this solution where LDS symbols always stay undefined.

We should keep the symbol type (STT_GNU_IFUNC) for a local ifunc because
it may result in an IRELATIVE reloc that the dynamic loader will use to
resolve the address at startup time.
There is another problem that is not fixed by this patch: a PC relative
relocation should also create a relocation with the ifunc symbol.

On PowerPC64 ELFv2 ABI, the top 3 bits of st_other encode the local
entry offset. A versioned symbol alias created by .symver should copy
the bits from the source symbol.
This partly fixes PR41048. A full fix needs tracking of .set assignments
and updating st_other fields when finish() is called, see D56586.

About the compressed sections spec says:
(https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37838_01/html/E36783/section_compression.html)
sh_addralign fields of the section header for a compressed section
reflect the requirements of the compressed section.
Currently, llvm-mc always puts uncompressed section alignment to sh_addralign.
It is not correct. zlib styled section contains an Elfxx_Chdr header,
so we should either use 4 or 8 values depending on the target
(Uncompressed section alignment is stored in ch_addralign field of the compression header).
GNU assembler version 2.31.1 also has this issue,
but in 2.32.51 it was already fixed. This is how it was found
during debugging of the https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40482

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.

SHF_ARM_PURECODE flag when being built with the -mexecute-only flag.
All code sections of an ELF must have the flag set for the final .text
section to be execute-only, otherwise the flag gets removed.
A HasData flag is added to MCSection to aid in the determination that
the section is empty. A virtual setTargetSectionFlags is added to
MCELFObjectTargetWriter to allow subclasses to set target specific
section flags to be added to sections which we then use in the ARM
backend to set SHF_ARM_PURECODE.
