//
// ICF is short for Identical Code Folding. This is a size optimization to
// identify and merge two or more read-only sections (typically functions)
// that happened to have the same contents. It usually reduces output size
// by a few percent.
//
// In ICF, two sections are considered identical if they have the same
// section flags, section data, and relocations. Relocations are tricky,
// because two relocations are considered the same if they have the same
// relocation types, values, and if they point to the same sections *in
// terms of ICF*.
//
// Here is an example. If foo and bar defined below are compiled to the
// same machine instructions, ICF can and should merge the two, although
// their relocations point to each other.
//
//   void foo() { bar(); }
//   void bar() { foo(); }
//
// If you merge the two, their relocations point to the same section and
// thus you know they are mergeable, but how do you know they are
// mergeable in the first place? This is not an easy problem to solve.
//
// What we are doing in LLD is to partition sections into equivalence
// classes. Sections in the same equivalence class when the algorithm
// terminates are considered identical. Here are details:
//
// 1. First, we partition sections using their hash values as keys. Hash
//    values contain section types, section contents and numbers of
//    relocations. During this step, relocation targets are not taken into
//    account. We just put sections that apparently differ into different
//    equivalence classes.
//
// 2. Next, for each equivalence class, we visit sections to compare
//    relocation targets. Relocation targets are considered equivalent if
//    their targets are in the same equivalence class. Sections with
//    different relocation targets are put into different equivalence
//    clases.
//
// 3. If we split an equivalence class in step 2, two relocations
//    previously target the same equivalence class may now target
//    different equivalence classes. Therefore, we repeat step 2 until a
//    convergence is obtained.
//
// 4. For each equivalence class C, pick an arbitrary section in C, and
//    merge all the other sections in C with it.
//
// For small programs, this algorithm needs 3-5 iterations. For large
// programs such as Chromium, it takes more than 20 iterations.
//
// This algorithm was mentioned as an "optimistic algorithm" in [1],
// though gold implements a different algorithm than this.
//
// We parallelize each step so that multiple threads can work on different
// equivalence classes concurrently. That gave us a large performance
// boost when applying ICF on large programs. For example, MSVC link.exe
// or GNU gold takes 10-20 seconds to apply ICF on Chromium, whose output
// size is about 1.5 GB, but LLD can finish it in less than 2 seconds on a
// 2.8 GHz 40 core machine. Even without threading, LLD's ICF is still
// faster than MSVC or gold though.

  // Why are we doing this? Recall that other threads may be working on
  // other equivalence classes in parallel. They may read sections that we
