The goal of this commit is to remove warnings using LLVM tip-of-tree
`wasm-ld`. In llvm/llvm-project#78658 the `wasm-ld` LLD driver no longer
looks at archive indices and instead looks at all the objects in
archives. Previously `lib.rmeta` files were simply raw rustc metadata
bytes, not wasm objects, meaning that `wasm-ld` would emit a warning
indicating so.
WebAssembly targets previously passed `--fatal-warnings` to `wasm-ld` by
default which meant that if Rust were to update to LLVM 18 then all wasm
targets would not work. This immediate blocker was resolved in
rust-lang/rust#120278 which removed `--fatal-warnings` which enabled a
theoretical update to LLVM 18 for wasm targets. This current state is
ok-enough for now because rustc squashes all linker output by default if
it doesn't fail. This means, for example, that rustc squashes all the
linker warnings coming out of `wasm-ld` about `lib.rmeta` files with
LLVM 18. This again isn't a pressing issue because the information is
all hidden, but it runs the risk of being annoying if another linker
error were to happen and then the output would have all these unrelated
warnings that couldn't be fixed.
Thus, this PR comes into the picture. The goal of this PR is to resolve
these warnings by using the WebAssembly object file format on wasm
targets instead of using raw rustc metadata. When I first implemented
the rlib-in-objects scheme in #84449 I remember either concluding that
`wasm-ld` would either include the metadata in the output or I thought
we didn't have to do anything there at all. I think I was wrong on both
counts as `wasm-ld` does not include the metadata in the final output
unless the object is referenced and we do actually need to do something
to resolve these warnings.
This PR updates the object file format containing rustc metadata on
WebAssembly targets to be an actual WebAssembly file. This enables the
`wasm` feature of the `object` crate to be able to read the custom
section in the same manner as other platforms, but currently `object`
doesn't support writing wasm object files so a handwritten encoder is
used instead.
The only caveat I know of with this is that if `wasm-ld` does indeed
look at the object file then the metadata will be included in the final
output. I believe the only thing that could cause that at this time is
`--whole-archive` which I don't think is passed for rlibs. I would
clarify that I'm not 100% certain about this, however.
Use a u64 for the rmeta root position
Waffle noticed this in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117301#discussion_r1405410174
We've upgraded the other file offsets to u64, and this one only costs 4 bytes per file. Also the way the truncation was being done before was extremely easy to miss, I sure missed it! It's not clear to me if not having this change effectively made the other upgrades from u32 to u64 ineffective, but we can have it now.
r? `@WaffleLapkin`
They're not used in `rustc_session`, and `rustc_metadata` is a more
obvious location.
`MetadataLoader` was originally put into `rustc_session` in #41565 to
avoid a dependency on LLVM, but things have changed a lot since then and
that's no longer relevant, e.g. `rustc_codegen_llvm` depends on
`rustc_metadata`.
Chrome links .rlibs with /WHOLEARCHIVE or -Wl,--whole-archive to prevent
the linker from discarding static initializers. This works well, except
on Windows x86, where lld complains:
error: /safeseh: lib.rmeta is not compatible with SEH
The fix is simply to mark the .rmeta as SAFESEH aware. This is trivially
true, since the metadata file does not contain any executable code.
As of Xcode 15 Apple's linker has become a bit more strict about the
warnings it produces. One of those new warnings requires all valid
Mach-O object files in an archive to have a LC_BUILD_VERSION load
command:
```
ld: warning: no platform load command found in 'ARCHIVE[arm64][2106](lib.rmeta)', assuming: iOS-simulator
```
This was already being done for Mac Catalyst so this change expands this
logic to include it for all Apple platforms. I filed this behavior
change as FB12546320 and was told it was the new intentional behavior.
PR #95604 introduced a "synthetic object file to ensure all exported and
used symbols participate in the linking". One constraint on this file is
that for MIPS-based targets, its architecture-specific ELF flags must be
the same as all other object files passed to the linker. That's enforced
by LLD, here:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/llvmorg-16.0.6/lld/ELF/Arch/MipsArchTree.cpp#L77
The current approach to determining e_flags for 32-bit was implemented
in PR #96930, which links to this issue that summarizes the problem well:
https://github.com/ayrtonm/psx-sdk-rs/issues/9
> ... the temporary object file is created with an e_flags which is
> invalid for 32-bit MIPS targets. The main issue is that it omits the ABI
> bits (EF_MIPS_ABI_O32) which implies it uses the N64 ABI.
To enable the N32 MIPS ABI (which succeeded O32), this patch enables
setting the synthetic object's ABI based on the target "llvm-abiname"
field, if it's given; otherwise, the O32 ABI is assumed for 32-bit MIPS
targets.

loongarch: Fix ELF header flags
This patch changes the ELF header flags so that the ABI matches the floating-point features. It also updates the link to the new official documentation.
Fix unset e_flags in ELF files generated for AVR targets
Closes#106576
~~Sort-of blocked by gimli-rs/object#500~~ (merged)
I'm not sure whether the list of AVR CPU names is okay here. Maybe it could be moved out-of-line to improve the readability of the function.
Initial support for loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
Hi, We hope to add a new port in rust for LoongArch.
LoongArch intro
LoongArch is a RISC style ISA which is independently designed by Loongson
Technology in China. It is divided into two versions, the 32-bit version (LA32)
and the 64-bit version (LA64). LA64 applications have application-level
backward binary compatibility with LA32 applications. LoongArch is composed of
a basic part (Loongson Base) and an expanded part. The expansion part includes
Loongson Binary Translation (LBT), Loongson VirtualiZation (LVZ), Loongson SIMD
EXtension (LSX) and Loongson Advanced SIMD EXtension(LASX).
Currently the LA464 processor core supports LoongArch ISA and the Loongson
3A5000 processor integrates 4 64-bit LA464 cores. LA464 is a four-issue 64-bit
high-performance processor core. It can be used as a single core for high-end
embedded and desktop applications, or as a basic processor core to form an
on-chip multi-core system for server and high-performance machine applications.

Since last year, we have locally adapted two versions of rust, rust1.41 and rust1.57, and completed the test locally.
I'm not sure if I'm submitting all the patches at once, so I split up the patches and here's one of the commits
Make compressed rmeta contain compressed data length after header
Fixes#90056, which is caused by link.exe introducing padding to the `.rustc` section, since it assumes this will have no effect besides allowing it to possibly use the extra space in future links.
Fix aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu_ilp32 target
This was broken because the synthetic object files produced by rustc were for 64-bit AArch64, which caused link failures when combined with 32-bit ILP32 object files.
This PR updates the object crate to 0.30.1 which adds support for generating ILP32 AArch64 object files.
The previous version added both `EF_RISCV_FLOAT_ABI_DOUBLE` and
`EF_RISCV_RVC` if the "D" extension was enabled on riscv64 targets.
riscv32 targets were not accounted for. This patch changes this
so that:
- Only add `EF_RISCV_RVC` if the "C" extension is enabled
- Add `EF_RISCV_FLOAT_ABI_SINGLE` if the "F" extension is enabled
and the "D" extension is not
- Add these ELF flags for riscv32 as well
This was broken because the synthetic object files produced by rustc
were for 64-bit AArch64, which caused link failures when combined with
32-bit ILP32 object files.
This PR updates the object crate to 0.30.1 which adds support for
generating ILP32 AArch64 object files.
