            Bug ID: 37841
           Summary: Missing SHF_TLS section error with ELF TLS and
                    --pack-dyn-relocs=android
           Product: lld
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: ELF
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: rprichard at google.com
                CC: llvm-bugs at lists.llvm.org

lld prints a missing SHF_TLS section error given the combination of arm64, a
static ELF TLS variable, and Android-style packed relocations. Test case:

    static __thread char tlsvar;
    char bump() {
      return ++tlsvar;
    }

$ /x/clang6/bin/clang test.c -nostdlib -shared -fpic -target
aarch64-linux-android -fuse-ld=lld -Wl,--pack-dyn-relocs=android
-fno-emulated-tls

Output:

/x/clang6/bin/ld.lld: error: /tmp/test-bca6ac.o has an STT_TLS symbol but
doesn't have an SHF_TLS section
clang-6.0: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)

There is an SHF_TLS section in the object file. It links fine if I omit
-Wl,--pack-dyn-relocs=android, and it also works on other architectures (e.g.
arm-linux-androideabi).

I think the problem is that the Android relocation packing code is using the
global Out::TlsPhdr variable before it's been initialized. The Android packing
code (updateAllocSize/encodeDynamicReloc) needs to get the addend of a TLS
relocation, and for that, it calls getSymVA on a TLS symbol, which reads the
global Out::TlsPhdr pointer. Out::TlsPhdr isn't initialized until setPhdrs is
called, though, and the packing code is called from finalizeSections.

Backtrace from the error:
