There are more cleanups to do, but I want to keep this CL mostly
a pure deletion.

bbae923d20 cmd: merge branch 'dev.link' into master
In the dev.link branch we implemented the new object file format
and (part of) the linker improvements described in
https://golang.org/s/better-linker

The new object file is index-based and provides random access.
The linker maps the object files into read-only memory, and
access symbols on-demand using indices, as opposed to reading
all object files sequentially into the heap with the old format.

The linker carries symbol informations using indices (as opposed
to Symbol data structure). Symbols are created after the
reachability analysis, and only created for reachable symbols.
This reduces the linker's memory usage.

Linking cmd/compile, it creates ~25% fewer Symbols, and reduces
memory usage (inuse_space) by ~15%. (More results from Than.)

Currently, both the old and new object file formats are supported.
The old format is used by default. The new format can be turned
on by using the compiler/assembler/linker's -newobj flag. Note
that the flag needs to be specified consistently to all
compilations, i.e.

go build -gcflags=all=-newobj -asmflags=all=-newobj -ldflags=-newobj

bf7e55b618 cmd/link: directly exec archive command if external tmpdir
When linking a Go archive, if the archiver invocation is the very last
thing that needs to happen in the link (no "atexit" cleanups required
remove the locally created tmpdir) then call syscall.Exec to invoke
the archiver command instead of the usual exec.Command. This has the
effect of reducing peak memory use for the linker overall, since we
don't be holding onto all of the linker's live memory while the
archiver is running.

2495095275 [dev.link] cmd/link: load full symbol contents after deadcode pass
If the new object file format is used, now we load full symbol
contents after the deadcode pass, for reachable symbols only.
We still load some informations early, like relocations and the
contents of type symbols, which are used in the deadcode pass.
If we rewrite deadcode to use index directly, we could delay more
of the loading (to sym.Symbol), and perhaps delay the creation of
sym.Symbol.

6051fd0ad9 [dev.link] cmd/link: support new object file format
Parse new object file format in the linker. At least we can link
a hello-world program.

Add a basic "loader", which handles symbol references in the
object file.
- mapping between local and global indices
- resolve by-name references
  (TODO: the overwrite logic isn't implemented yet)

Currently we still create sym.Symbol rather early, and, after all
the object files are loaded and indexed references are resolved,
add all symbols to sym.Symbols.

The code here is probably not going in the final version. This
is basically only for debugging purposes -- to make sure the
writer and the reader work as expected.

d6b06f0254 cmd/link: make it easy to find binary versions
It is useful to be able to dig the Go version out of a binary,
even a stripped binary. rsc.io/goversion does this for x86
binaries by disassembling the binary to find runtime/proc.go's
startup-time reference to runtime.buildVersion's address.
That approach is quite fragile: the implementation doesn't
work for non-x86 and must be updated as the generated
code changes.

rsc.io/goversion finds the module version string by looking
for random 16-byte framing around the actual string.
This is less fragile but fairly kludgy and requires scanning
the entire data segment.

cmd/buildid finds the build ID by looking for an ELF note
or else falling back to scanning the beginning of the text
segment for a magic string. This has proved quite reliable
and doesn't require scanning much of the binary.

This CL makes it possible to find the Go and module versions
using a scan more like the build ID scan: a symbol early in
the writable data segment starts with a magic number and
then has pointers to the two string variables.

Setting up for "go version <binary>".

For #31624.

Move the phase of applying relocations later, after the sections
and segments are written to the mmap'd output region. Then apply

So the input slices we read in don't need to be modified.

248444d5eb cmd/link: apply DWARF relocations while doing compression
We are preparing for applying relocations to the output buffer.
However, for DWARF compression, relocations need to be applied
before compression, but we don't have an output buffer at that
time. We also cannot delay DWARF compression to when we mmap the
output file, because we need the size of the DWARF sections to
compute the file size.

Instead of applying all the relocations together, we apply
relocations in DWARF sections one symbol at a time, right before
it is writing out for compression. As the symbol content may be
in read-only memory (in the future), we use a temporary buffer
for applying the relocations, and immediately write it out.

If compression is not used, relocations are still applied all
together.

This is in preparation for mmap'ing input files read-only.

b2f94d3e88 cmd/link: mmap output file
Use mmap for writing most of the output file content,
specifically, the sections and segments. After layout, we
already know the sizes and file offsets for the sections and
segments. So we can just write the bytes by copying to a mmap'd
backing store.

The writing of the output file is split into two parts. The first
part writes the sections and segments to the mmap'd region. The
second part writes some extra content, for which we don't know
the size, so we use direct file IO.

This is in preparation for mmap'ing input files read-only.

Update the recently-added '-strictdups' sanity checking to avoid
failing the link in cases where we have objects feeding into the link
with a mix of command line flags (and in particular some with "-N" and
some without). This scenario will trigger errors/warnings due to

due to presence or lack of optimization.

d923309a17 cmd/link: add optional sanity checking for duplicate symbols
Introduce a new linker command line option "-strictdups", which
enables sanity checking of "ok to duplicate" symbols, especially
DWARF info symbols. Acceptable values are 0 (no checking) 1 (issue
warnings) and 2 (issue a fatal error checks fail).

Currently if we read a DWARF symbol (such as "go.info.PKG.FUNCTION")
from one object file, and then encounter the same symbol later on
while reading another object file, we simply discard the second one
and move on with the link, since the two should in theory be
identical.

If as a result of a compiler bug we wind up with symbols that are not
identical, this tends to (silently) result in incorrect DWARF
generation, which may or may not be discovered depending on who is
consuming the DWARF and what's being done with it.

When this option is turned on, at the point where a duplicate
symbol is detected in the object file reader, we check to make sure
that the length/contents of the symbol are the same as the previously
read symbol, and print a descriptive warning (or error) if not.

For the time being this can be used for one-off testing to find
problems; at some point it would be nice if we can enable it by
default.

726a2d04ea cmd/link: support DWARF compression on Darwin
We want to compress DWARF even on macOS, but the native toolchain isn't
going to understand it. Add a flag that can be used to disable
compression, then add Darwin to the whitelist used during internal
linking.

Unlike GNU ld, the Darwin linker doesn't have a handy linker flag to do
compression. But since we're already doing surgery to put the DWARF in
the output executable in the first place, compressing it at the same
time isn't unduly difficult. This does have the slightly odd effect of
compressing some Apple proprietary debug sections, which absolutely
nothing will understand. Leaving them uncompressed didn't make much
sense, though, since I doubt they're useful without (say) __debug_info.

594eae5ad0 cmd/link: compress DWARF sections in ELF binaries
Forked from CL 111895.

The trickiest part of this is that the binary layout code (blk,
elfshbits, and various other things) assumes a constant offset between
symbols' and sections' file locations and their virtual addresses.
Compression, of course, breaks this constant offset. But we need to
assign virtual addresses to everything before compression in order to
resolve relocations before compression. As a result, compression needs
to re-compute the "address" of the DWARF sections and symbols based on
their compressed size. Luckily, these are at the end of the file, so
this doesn't perturb any other sections or symbols. (And there is, of
course, a surprising amount of code that assumes the DWARF segment
comes last, so what's one more place?)

8998c55ec0 cmd/link: separate virtual address layout from file layout
Currently these two forms of layout are done in a single pass. This
makes it difficult to compress DWARF sections because that must be
done after relocations are applied, which must happen after virtual
address layout, but we can't layout the file until we've compressed
the DWARF sections.

Fix this by separating the two layout steps. In the process, we can
also unify the copy-pasted code in Link.address to compute file
offsets, which currently has some unnecessary variation.

Unlike the current file offset computation, which depends on virtual
addresses, the new computation only uses file offsets and sizes. This
will let us compress the file representation of a segment and create
the file layout based on its on-disk size rather than its original
in-memory size.

Tested by comparing the test binary for the "strings" package on all
supported GOOS/GOARCH combinations. All binaries are identical
(except, of course, their build IDs).

This is a second attempt at CL 111682.

For #11799.
Fixes #25863.

Fix this by separating the two layout steps. In the process, we can
also unify the copy-pasted code in Link.address to compute file
offsets. Currently, each instance of this is slightly different, but
there's no reason for it to be. For example, we don't perform
PEFILEALIGN alignment on Segrodata or Selreltodata even when HeadType
== Hwindows, but it turns out it doesn't matter whether you do or
don't because these segments simply don't exist on Windows. Hence, in
the unified code path, we do this alignment for all segments.
Likewise, there are two ways of computing Fileoff:
  seg.Vaddr - prev.Vaddr + prev.Fileoff
and
  prev.Fileoff + uint64(Rnd(int64(prev.Filelen), int64(*FlagRound)))
At the moment, these always have the same value, but the latter will
continue to work after we start compressing sections on disk.

Tested by comparing test binaries for all packages in std before and
after this change for GOOS={linux,windows,darwin,plan9}. All binaries
are identical.

For #11799.

8396015e80 cmd/link: set runtime.GOROOT default during link
Suppose you build the Go toolchain in directory A,
move the whole thing to directory B, and then use
it from B to build a new program hello.exe, and then
run hello.exe, and hello.exe crashes with a stack
trace into the standard library.

Long ago, you'd have seen hello.exe print file names
in the A directory tree, even though the files had moved
to the B directory tree. About two years ago we changed
the compiler to write down these files with the name
"$GOROOT" (that literal string) instead of A, so that the
final link from B could replace "$GOROOT" with B,
so that hello.exe's crash would show the correct source
file paths in the stack trace. (golang.org/cl/18200)

Now suppose that you do the same thing but hello.exe
doesn't crash: it prints fmt.Println(runtime.GOROOT()).
And you run hello.exe after clearing $GOROOT from the
environment.

Long ago, you'd have seen hello.exe print A instead of B.
Before this CL, you'd still see hello.exe print A instead of B.
This case is the one instance where a moved toolchain
still divulges its origin. Not anymore. After this CL, hello.exe
will print B, because the linker sets runtime/internal/sys.DefaultGoroot
with the effective GOROOT from link time.
This makes the default result of runtime.GOROOT once again
match the file names recorded in the binary, after two years
of divergence.

With that cleared up, we can reintroduce GOROOT into the
link action ID and also reenable TestExecutableGOROOT/RelocatedExe.

When $GOROOT_FINAL is set during link, it is used
in preference to $GOROOT, as always, but it was easier
to explain the behavior above without introducing that
complication.

Fixes #22155.
Fixes #20284.
Fixes #22475.

28639df158 cmd/link: apply -X options after loading symbols
The linker has been applying -X options before loading symbols,
meaning that when it sees -X y=z it creates a symbol named y
and initializes its string data to z. The symbol named y is marked
"DUPOK" so that when the actual packages are loaded, no error is
emitted when the real y is seen. The predefined y's data is used
instead of whatever the real y says.

If we define -X y=z and we never load y, then the predefined symbol
is dropped during dead code elimination, but not in shared library
builds. Shared library builds must include all symbols, so we have to
be more careful about not defining symbols that wouldn't have
appeared anyway.

To be more careful, save the -X settings until after all the symbols
are loaded from the packages, and then apply the string changes
to whatever symbols are known (but ignore the ones that were not
loaded at all). This ends up being simpler anyway, since it doesn't
depend on DUPOK magic.

Makes CL 86835 safe.

Fixes #23273.

In effect, -importcfg is a generalization of and supersedes -installsuffix

compatibility with other tools.

Having this flag in Go 1.9 will let us try some experiments involving

7c431cb7f9 cmd/link: insert trampolines for too-far jumps on ARM
ARM direct CALL/JMP instruction has 24 bit offset, which can only
encodes jumps within +/-32M. When the target is too far, the top
bits get truncated and the program jumps wild.

This CL detects too-far jumps and automatically insert trampolines,
currently only internal linking on ARM.

It is necessary to make the following changes to the linker:
- Resolve direct jump relocs when assigning addresses to functions.
  this allows trampoline insertion without moving all code that
  already laid down.
- Lay down packages in dependency order, so that when resolving a
  inter-package direct jump reloc, the target address is already
  known. Intra-package jumps are assumed never too far.
- a linker flag -debugtramp is added for debugging trampolines:
    "-debugtramp=1 -v" prints trampoline debug message
    "-debugtramp=2"    forces all inter-package jump to use
                       trampolines (currently ARM only)
    "-debugtramp=2 -v" does both
- Some data structures are changed for bookkeeping.

On ARM, pseudo DIV/DIVU/MOD/MODU instructions now clobber R8
(unfortunate). In the standard library there is no ARM assembly
code that uses these instructions, and the compiler no longer emits
them (CL 29390).

all.bash passes with -debugtramp=2, except a disassembly test (this
is unavoidable as we changed the instruction).

TBD: debug info of trampolines?

Fixes #17028.

There is a semantic change in this CL. Previously if a link was

linking. Instead it now fails with a reason why. I believe this is an
improvement, but will change it back if there's disagreement.
