Patch allows to pass a symbols file to linker. LLD will map symbols to sections and sort sections in output according to symbol ordering file. That can help to reduce the startup time and/or amount of pagefaults during startup. Also, interesting benchmark result was produced by Rafael Espíndola. After applying the symbols file for clang he timed compiling X86MCTargetDesc.ii to an object file. The page faults went from just 56,988 to 56,946 since most faults are not in the binary. Running time went from 4.403053515 to 4.178112244. The speedup seems to be because of better cache locality. Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D26130 llvm-svn: 286440
