Previously the response file expansion code would print the error, but
lld would not exit, which was odd.
lld does response file expansion in the different drivers, but it's also
done in main() first, so it's enough to check there.
By checking for these errors we would have caught when D136090
introduced a bug that made lld print errors for response files which
contained "-rpath @foo".

Before this patch, it wasn't possible to extend the ThinLTO threads to all SMT/CMT threads in the system. Only one thread per core was allowed, instructed by usage of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() in the ThinLTO code. Any number passed to the LLD flag /opt:lldltojobs=..., or any other ThinLTO-specific flag, was previously interpreted in the context of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency(), which means SMT disabled.
One can now say in LLD:
/opt:lldltojobs=0 -- Use one std::thread / hardware core in the system (no SMT). Default value if flag not specified.
/opt:lldltojobs=N -- Limit usage to N threads, regardless of usage of heavyweight_hardware_concurrency().
/opt:lldltojobs=all -- Use all hardware threads in the system. Equivalent to /opt:lldltojobs=$(nproc) on Linux and /opt:lldltojobs=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% on Windows. When an affinity mask is set for the process, threads will be created only for the cores selected by the mask.
When N > number-of-hardware-threads-in-the-system, the threads in the thread pool will be dispatched equally on all CPU sockets (tested only on Windows).
When N <= number-of-hardware-threads-on-a-CPU-socket, the threads will remain on the CPU socket where the process started (only on Windows).

traps only if -z separate-code is specified
This patch
1) adds -z separate-code and -z noseparate-code (default).
2) changes the condition that the last page of last PF_X PT_LOAD is
padded with trap instructions.
Current condition (after D33630): if there is no `SECTIONS` commands.
After this change: if -z separate-code is specified.
-z separate-code was introduced to ld.bfd in 2018, to place the text
segment in its own pages. There is no overlap in pages between an
executable segment and a non-executable segment:
1) RX cannot load initial contents from R or RW(or non-SHF_ALLOC).
2) R and RW(or non-SHF_ALLOC) cannot load initial contents from RX.
lld's current status:
- Between R and RX: in `Writer<ELFT>::fixSectionAlignments()`, the start of a
segment is always aligned to maxPageSize, so the initial contents loaded by R
and RX do not overlap. I plan to allow overlaps in D64906 if -z noseparate-code
is in effect.
- Between RX and RW(or non-SHF_ALLOC if RW doesn't exist):
we currently unconditionally pad the last page to commonPageSize
(defaults to 4096 on all targets we support).
This patch will make it effective only if -z separate-code is specified.
-z separate-code is a dubious feature that intends to reduce the number
of ROP gadgets (which is actually ineffective because attackers can find
plenty of gadgets in the text segment, no need to find gadgets in
non-code regions).
With the overlapping PT_LOAD technique D64906, -z noseparate-code
removes two more alignments at segment boundaries than -z separate-code.
This saves at most defaultCommonPageSize*2 bytes, which are significant
on targets with large defaultCommonPageSize (AArch64/MIPS/PPC: 65536).
Issues/feedback on alignment at segment boundaries to help understand
the implication:
* binutils PR24490 (the situation on ld.bfd is worse because they have
two R-- on both sides of R-E so more alignments.)
* In binutils, the 2018-02-27 commit "ld: Add --enable-separate-code" made -z separate-code the default on Linux.
https://github.com/richfelker/musl-cross-make/commit/d969dea983a2cc54a1e0308a0cdeb6c3307e4bfa
In musl-cross-make, binutils is configured with --disable-separate-code
to address size regressions caused by -z separate-code. (lld actually has the same
issue, which I plan to fix in a future patch. The ld.bfd x86 status is
worse because they default to max-page-size=0x200000).
* https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237676 people want
smaller code size. This patch will remove one alignment boundary.
* Stef O'Rear: I'm opposed to any kind of page alignment at the
text/rodata line (having a partial page of text aliased as rodata and
vice versa has no demonstrable harm, and I actually care about small
systems).
So, make -z noseparate-code the default.

Patch by Mark Johnston!
Summary:
When the option is configured, ifunc calls do not go through the PLT;
rather, they appear as regular function calls with relocations
referencing the ifunc symbol, and the resolver is invoked when
applying the relocation. This is intended for use in freestanding
environments where text relocations are permissible and is incompatible
with the -z text option. The option is motivated by ifunc usage in the
FreeBSD kernel, where ifuncs are used to elide CPU feature flag bit
checks in hot paths. Instead of replacing the cost of a branch with that
of an indirect function call, the -z ifunc-noplt option is used to ensure
that ifunc calls carry no hidden overhead relative to normal function
calls.
Test Plan:
I added a couple of regression tests and tested the FreeBSD kernel
build using the latest lld sources.
To demonstrate the effects of the change, I used a micro-benchmark
which results in frequent invocations of a FreeBSD kernel ifunc. The
benchmark was run with and without IBRS enabled, and with and without
-zifunc-noplt configured. The observed speedup is small and consistent,
and is significantly larger with IBRS enabled:

Compilers emits .comment section as well, so the output contains
both compiler and linker information.
Alternative considered:
I first tried to add a SHT_NOTE section because GNU gold does that.
A NOTE section starts with a header which contains content type.
It turned out that ld.gold sets type NT_GNU_GOLD_VERSION to their
NOTE section. So the NOTE type is only for GNU gold (surprise!)
Next, I tried to create ".linker-version" section. However, it seems
that reusing the existing ".comment" section is better because 1)
other tools already know about .comment section and is able to strip
it and 2) the result contans not only linker info but also compiler
info.

String tables in unstripped executable files are fairly large in size.
For example, lld's executable file is about 34.4 MB in my environment,
and of which 3.5 MB is the string table. Efficiency of string table
construction matters.
Previously, the string table was built in an inefficient way. We used
StringTableBuilder to build that and enabled string tail merging,
although tail merging is not effective for the symbol table (you can
only make the string table 0.3% smaller for lld.) Tail merging is
computation intensive task and slow.
This patch eliminates string tail merging.
I changed the way of adding strings to the string table in this patch
too. Previously, strings were added using add() and the same strings
were then passed to getOffset() to get their offsets in the string table.
In this way, getOffset() needs to look up a hash table to get offsets
for given strings. This is a violation of "we look up the symbol table
(or a hash table) only once for each symbol" dogma of the new LLD's
design. Hash table lookup for long C++ mangled names is slow.
I eliminated that lookup in this patch.
In total, this patch improves link time of lld itself about 12%
(3.50 seconds -> 3.08 seconds.)

With this patch, lld creates PT_GNU_STACK segments only when all input
files have .note.GNU-stack sections. This is in line with other linkers
with a minor difference (we don't care about .note.GNU-stack rwx bits as
you can always remove .note.GNU-stack sections instead of setting x bit.)
At least, NetBSD loader does not understand PT_GNU_STACK segments and
reject any executables that have the section. This patch makes lld
compatible with such operating systems.
