During Mach-O linking, dsymutil takes the DWARF from individual object
files and combines it into a debug archive. Because it's content-aware,
it doesn't need our help to do its job. Nonetheless, it does try to
honor relocations that are present in its input.
When dsymutil encounters a relocation, it uses the value of that
relocation as an index into the debug map to find its final location.
When it does that, it's assuming that the value is an address in the
object file. But DWARF references are section-relative. So when it
processes a relocation for a DWARF reference, it gets confused,
and if the value happens to match the address of a function or
data symbol, it will rewrite it incorrectly.
Since the relocations don't help, and can hurt, drop them when
externally linking a Mach-O binary.

Debuggers use DWARF information to find local variables on the
stack and in registers. Prior to this CL, the DWARF information for
functions claimed that all variables were on the stack at all times.
That's incorrect when optimizations are enabled, and results in
debuggers showing data that is out of date or complete gibberish.
After this CL, the compiler is capable of representing variable
locations more accurately, and attempts to do so. Due to limitations of
the SSA backend, it's not possible to be completely correct.
There are a number of problems in the current design. One of the easier
to understand is that variable names currently must be attached to an
SSA value, but not all assignments in the source code actually result
in machine code. For example:
type myint int
var a int
b := myint(int)
and
b := (*uint64)(unsafe.Pointer(a))
don't generate machine code because the underlying representation is the
same, so the correct value of b will not be set when the user would
expect.
Generating the more precise debug information is behind a flag,
dwarflocationlists. Because of the issues described above, setting the
flag may not make the debugging experience much better, and may actually
make it worse in cases where the variable actually is on the stack and
the more complicated analysis doesn't realize it.
A number of changes are included:
- Add a new pseudo-instruction, RegKill, which indicates that the value
in the register has been clobbered.
- Adjust regalloc to emit RegKills in the right places. Significantly,
this means that phis are mixed with StoreReg and RegKills after
regalloc.
- Track variable decomposition in ssa.LocalSlots.
- After the SSA backend is done, analyze the result and build location
lists for each LocalSlot.
- After assembly is done, update the location lists with the assembled
PC offsets, recompose variables, and build DWARF location lists. Emit the
list as a new linker symbol, one per function.
- In the linker, aggregate the location lists into a .debug_loc section.

When using golang on ppc64le there have been issues
when building executables that generate extremely large text
sections. This is due to the call instruction and the limitation
on the offset field, which is smaller than most platforms. If the
size of the call target offset is too big for the offset field in
the call instruction, then link errors can occur.
The original solution to this problem in golang was to split the
text section when it became too large, allowing the external (GNU)
linker to insert the necessary stub to handle the long call. That
worked fine until the another size limit for the program size was hit,
where a plt_branch was created instead of a long branch. In that case
the plt_branch code sequence expects r2 to contain the address of the
TOC, but when golang creates dynamic executables by default
(-buildmode=exe) r2 does not always contain the address of the TOC
and as a result when building programs that reach this extremely
large size, a runtime SEGV or SIGILL can occur due to branching to a bad
address.
When using internal linking, trampolines are generated to handle the
long calls but the text sections are not split. With this change,
text sections will still be split approrpriately with external linking
but if the buildmode being used does not maintain r2 as the TOC
addresses, then trampolines will be created for those calls.

Prior to this CL, the compiler and assembler
were sloppy about the LSym.Type for LSyms
containing static data.
The linker then fixed this up, converting
Sxxx and SBSS to SDATA, and SNOPTRBSS to SNOPTRDATA
if it noticed that the symbol had associated data.
It is preferable to just get this right in cmd/compile
and cmd/asm, because it removes an unnecessary traversal
of the symbol table from the linker (see #14624).
Do this by touching up the LSym.Type fixes in
LSym.prepwrite and Link.Globl.
I have confirmed by instrumenting the linker
that the now-eliminated code paths were unreached.
And an additional check in the object file writing code
will help preserve that invariant.
There was a case in the Windows linker,
with internal linking and cgo,
where we were generating SNOPTRBSS symbols with data.
For now, convert those at the site at which they occur
into SNOPTRDATA, just like they were.
Does not pass toolstash-check,
but does generate identical linked binaries.

While processing a symbol for a function, if it is determined
that a function would make the text section too large then
a new text section is created and the address of the function
is in the new text section. But the symbol for the function
is marked as being in the previous text section, causing
incorrect codegen for the function and leading to a segv if
that function is called. This adds code to set the sym.Sect
field to the new section if a new one is created. Note that
this problem only happens at the point where a new section is
created.
Fixes#18218

Internal linking on an ELF system creates two reloc sections, which
must be adjacent. The default is to base section alignment on the
section size, but doing that for ELF reloc sections can introduce a
gap. Set the reloc section alignment explicitly to avoid that.
Fixes#18044.

Introduce R_WEAKADDROFF, a "weak" variation of the R_ADDROFF relocation
that will only reference the type described if it is in some other way
reachable.
Use this for the ptrToThis field in reflect type information where it
is safe to do so (that is, types that don't need to be included for
interface satisfaction, and types that won't cause the compiler to
recursively generate an endless series of ptr-to-ptr-to-ptr-to...
types).
Also fix a small bug in reflect, where StructOf was not clearing the
ptrToThis field of new types.
Fixes#17931

To generate the correct section offset the shared code path for
R_CALL, R_PCREL, and R_GOTPCREL on darwin when externally linking
walks up the symbol heirarchy adding the differences. This is fine,
except in the case where we are generating a GOT lookup, because
the topmost symbol is left in r.Xsym instead of the symbol we are
looking up. So all funcsym GOT lookups were looking up the outer
"go.func.*" symbol.
Fix this by separating out the R_GOTPCREL code path.
For #17828 (and may fix it).

On ppc64x, trampolines are used to resolve too-far
branches for internal linking. The external linking,
solution on ppc64x is to split text sections when they
get too large, allowing the external linker to handle
the long branches.
On arm trampolines are generanted for too-far branches
for internal and external linking. When the change
was made recently to enable trampolines for external linking
on arm, that broke the ppc64x fix for too-far branches
with external linking.
The fix adds a check to use trampolines only for internal
linking with ppc64x.
Fixes#17795

After the final slash, dots are %-escaped when constructing a symbol name,
so that in the actual symbol table, the import path githost.com/my.git
becomes githost.com/my%2egit. In this case, -X githost.com/my.git.Value=foo
needs to set githost.com/my%2egit.Value. This is a detail of the object format
and not something users should know or depend on, so apply the escaping
as needed.
People who have run across this already and figured out and started using
the escaped forms with -X will find those forms not working anymore.
That is, -X githost.com/my%2egit.Value=foo is the Go 1.7 workaround but
will stop working in Go 1.8 once this proper fix is in place.
People who need to keep scripts working with older and newer versions of Go
can safely pass both forms, and one will be ignored:
-X githost.com/my%2egit.Value=foo -X githost.com/my.git.Value=foo
