Assemblers change certain relocations referencing a local symbol to
reference the section symbol instead. This conversion is disabled for
many conditions (`shouldRelocateWithSymbol`), e.g. TLS symbol, for most
targets (including AArch32, x86, PowerPC, and RISC-V) GOT-generating
relocations.
However, AArch64 encodes the GOT-generating intent in MCValue::RefKind
instead of MCSymbolRef::Kind (see commit
0999cbd0b9 (2014)), therefore not affected
by the code `case MCSymbolRefExpr::VK_GOT:`. As GNU ld and ld.lld
create GOT entries based on the symbol, ignoring addend, the two ldr
instructions will share the same GOT entry, which is not expected:
```
ldr x1, [x1, :got_lo12:x] // converted to .data+0
ldr x1, [x1, :got_lo12:y] // converted to .data+4
.data
// .globl x, y would suppress STT_SECTION conversion
x:
.zero 4
y:
.long 42
```
This patch changes AArch64 to suppress local symbol to STT_SECTION
conversion for GOT relocations, matching most other targets. x and y
will use different GOT entries, which IMO is the most sensable behavior.
With this change, the ABI decision on https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/issues/217
will only affect relocations explicitly referencing STT_SECTION symbols, e.g.
```
ldr x1, [x1, :got_lo12:(.data+0)]
ldr x1, [x1, :got_lo12:(.data+4)]
// I consider this unreasonable uses
```
IMO all reasonable use cases are unaffected.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
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.
