================
Comment at: ELF/Config.h:76
   uint8_t OSABI = 0;
+  llvm::DenseSet<llvm::CachedHashStringRef> RetainSymbolsFile;
   llvm::DenseMap<llvm::CachedHashStringRef, unsigned> SymbolOrderingFile;

Not sure what is expected place then. I think we just put variable here in sorted groups, since there is no other StrringSets, I assumed it is sorted.
I moved that line after last llvm::StringRef then.


================
Comment at: ELF/Driver.cpp:477
 
+static SmallVector<StringRef, 0> getLines(MemoryBufferRef MB) {
+  SmallVector<StringRef, 0> Arr;

Done.


================
Comment at: ELF/Driver.cpp:498-499
+static void parseRetainSymbolsList(MemoryBufferRef MB) {
+  for (StringRef S : getLines(MB))
+    Config->RetainSymbolsFile.insert(S.trim());
+}
----------------

> I think that you are inserting an empty string to the set because usually a text file ends with "\n", so the last line is empty. I'd do trim() and remove blank lines in getLines().
No I am not, last argument of split() does all job:

```
  MB.getBuffer().split(Arr, '\n', INT32_MAX, /*KeepEmpty*/ false);
```

Also set would assert that:
```
    std::pair<typename base::iterator, bool> insert(StringRef Key) {
      assert(!Key.empty());
      return base::insert(std::make_pair(Key, '\0'));
    }
```


================
Comment at: ELF/Driver.cpp:652
+    if (Optional<MemoryBufferRef> Buffer = readFile(Arg->getValue())) {
+      Config->Discard = DiscardPolicy::RetainFile;
+      parseRetainSymbolsList(*Buffer);
----------------

I think we error out if something is wrong inside readFile() anyways. Though I did that change to
make code shorter.
