ELF: Create synthetic sections for loadable partitions.

We create several types of synthetic sections for loadable partitions, including:
- The dynamic symbol table. This allows code outside of the loadable partitions
  to find entry points with dlsym.
- Creating a dynamic symbol table also requires the creation of several other
  synthetic sections for the partition, such as the dynamic table and hash table
  sections.
- The partition's ELF header is represented as a synthetic section in the
  combined output file, and will be used by llvm-objcopy to extract partitions.

LLVM Linker (lld)

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for the LLVM Linker, a modular cross platform linker which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.

lld is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.

Benchmarking

In order to make sure various developers can evaluate patches over the same tests, we create a collection of self contained programs.

It is hosted at https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/linker-tests/lld-speed-test.tar.xz
