[lld][ELF] filter out section symbols when use BP reorder (#151685)
When using Temporal Profiling with the BP algorithm, we encounter an
issue with the internal function reorder. In cases where the symbol
table contains entries like:
```
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 45 entries:
Num: Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name
10: 0000000000000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 18 .text.L1
11: 0000000000000000 24 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 18 L1
````
The zero-sized section symbol .text.L1 gets stored in the secToSym map
first. However, when the function lookup searches for L1 (as seen in
[BPSectionOrdererBase.inc:191](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/lld/include/lld/Common/BPSectionOrdererBase.inc#L191)),
it fails to find the correct entry in rootSymbolToSectionIdxs because
the section symbol has already claimed that slot.
This patch fixes the issue by skipping zero-sized symbols during the
addSections process, ensuring that function symbols are properly
registered for lookup.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
