Overall looks good to me. Comments are inlined.

ELF/Arch/MSP430.cpp

Please add a description of the platform. See AVR.cpp for a sample.
(Note: we do not have it for X86_64.cpp which is the most popular one I guess, but for less popular platforms I think this is a must)

63

I would remove this.

How much is real to have this error?
I would do just the following for start:

case R_MSP430_16:
case R_MSP430_16_PCREL:
case R_MSP430_16_BYTE:
case R_MSP430_16_PCREL_BYTE:
  checkIntUInt(Loc, Val, 16, Type);
  write16le(Loc, Val);

Note that this is an msp430 that AFAIK has many documentation issues. I would try to with the simple as simple code as possible for now.

79

The same here. I would add a check that Val fits into int16_t ideally, but for now, I think you can omit this error check and skip any checks at all (We do not check other relocations we have for oddness I think anyway it seems). So I would simplify things as much as possible for initial msp400 support.

test/ELF/msp430.s
7

Please explain the purpose of the test here (just add a short description of what it do like "This tests the simple msp400 relocations like X, Y" etc).

Also seems you can go with a single llvm-objdump invocation, please do in that way.

I would remove this sentence. It too easy to forget to update it.

It seems like the test/ELF/msp430.s file got lost while committing.

Could you please wait for a while for me to review? Adding a new target is a big deal, and it should be done more carefully. Sending a patch and submitting in a few hours is unacceptable. George, when you give LGTM please note about that too.

This patch doesn't have any test -- the test file doesn't contain any RUN: line, so nothing is tested so far.

lld/trunk/ELF/Arch/MSP430.cpp

TrapInstr must be 4 bytes long. Otherwise it would create a garbage on every two bytes.

Sort asciibetically. "MSP" should precede "Mips" in the dictionary order.

After reading this patch, I decided to *not* roll back this patch as the patch seems acceptable with a few changes (I'm going to make the changes), but please keep in mind that that handling is exceptional; when someone added a new target in such a way like this, we'd normally have to revert it no matter what the patch is, as it is a violation of the usual review process. And I believe you didn't really have to rush to submit; this is a good patch, so just relax and wait for a little for others to review it as well.

Does this instruction actually triggers a CPU interrupt?

How mature is this implementation of MSP support? I'd like to add a note to the release notes for the next major release.

Agree. Sorry for rushing.

Yeah, sorry, probably I just shouldn't have asked to submit that soon.

It does trigger an interrupt on a simulator and presumably it does not on a real hardware.

I think the implementation could be characterized as "initial".
We have several tests compiled by LLVM and linked by LLD running on the gdb-sim simulator, including some tests shipped with newlib.

It is not mature at all and it is initial support for hello world AFAIK. So I would not add more than "initial implementation of MSP430 target" line. Michael might know much more than me here.
