Subject: [ELF] - Do not crash when do --gc-sections for non-allocatable metadata sections.
X-Git-Tag: llvmorg-7.0.0-rc1~5769
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=848405b164e368601797cad493f5131ea86849da;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fllvm.git

[ELF] - Do not crash when do --gc-sections for non-allocatable metadata sections.

Currently, LLD marks all non-allocatable sections except SHF_REL[A] as Live
when doing GC.

This can be a reason of the crash when SHF_LINK_ORDER sections
are involved, because their parents can be dead.

We should do GC for them correctly. The patch implements it.
