R_LARCH_ALIGN (psABI v2.30) requires a symbol index. The symbol is only
created at the first time to handle alignment directive. This means that
all other sections may use this symbol. If the section of this symbol is
discarded, there may be problems. Search it in its own section.

A couple of the tests in the testsuite were at some point in the past
committed with DOS-style CRLF line endings. This potentially causes
email problems if the tests are touched in the middle of a large patch
series so convert them to standard Un*x line endings.

If you try to use the overloaded subscript operator of a class
in python, it fails like this:
(gdb) py print(gdb.parse_and_eval('b')[5])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
gdb.error: Cannot subscript requested type.

This simply checks if such an operator exists, and calls it
instead, making this possible:

Use parallel compression to create the xz archive.
On my machine (using 4 cores) this reduces the time to create
binutils-2.42.50.tar.xz from 1 minute 40 seconds to 56 seconds.
xz has supported -T0 since version 5.2.0 (released 2014-12-21).
When running test-case gdb.tui/resize-2.exp with taskset -c 0, I sometimes run
into:
...
tui disable^[[40;1H^M(gdb) PASS: $exp: tui disable
^M^[[K(gdb) FAIL: $exp: two prompt redisplays after resize (timeout)
...
The test-case does "Term::resize 24 80 0" while having the settings of an
earlier "Term::resize 40 90", so both dimensions change.
When TUI is enabled, we call Term::resize with wait_for_msg == 1, and the proc:
- calls stty to change one dimension,
- waits for the message (enabled by "maint set tui-resize-message on")
confirming the resize has happened,
- calls stty to change the other dimension, and again
- waits for the message confirming the resize has happened.
Since TUI is disabled, we call Term::resize with wait_for_msg == 0 because the
message is not printed, so stty is called twice, and afterwards we check for
the results of the two resizes, which is the test that is failing.
The problem is that not waiting for a response after each stty call opens up
the possibility of the responses being merged.
Fix this by calling Term::resize twice, changing one dimension at a time, and
waiting for a single prompt redisplay after each one.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31822
Printing the value of 'errno' from GDB is sometimes problematic. The
situation has improved in recent years, though there are still
scenarios for which "print errno" doesn't work.
The test, gdb.base/errno.exp, introduced by this commit, tests whether
or not GDB can print errno using a binary compiled in the following
different ways:
- default: no switches aside from -g (and whatever else is added by the
testing framework)
- macros: macro info is included in the debuginfo; this is enabled by
using -g3 when using gcc or clang
- static: statically linked binary
- static-macros: statically linked binary w/ macro definitions included
in debuginfo
- pthreads: libpthread linked binary
- pthreads-macros: libpthread linked binary w/ macro definitions included
in debuginfo
- pthreads-static: Statically linked against libpthread
- pthreads-static-macros: Statically linked against libpthread w/ macro
definitions
For each of these, the test also creates a corefile, then loads the
corefile and attempts to print errno again.
Additionally, the test checks that a "masking" errno declared as a
local variable will print correctly.
On Linux, if the machine is missing glibc debuginfo (or you have
debuginfod disabled), it's likely you'll see:
(gdb) print errno
'errno' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
But if you add a cast, the value of errno is often available:
(gdb) print (int) errno
$1 = 42
The test detects this situation along with several others and does
'setup_xfail' for tests that will almost certainly fail. It could be
argued that some of these ought to be KFAILs due to deficiencies in
GDB, but I'm not entirely certain which, if any, are fixable yet.
On Fedora 39, without glibc debuginfo, there are no failures, but
I do see the following XFAILS:
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: default: print errno
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: default: check errno value from corefile
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: macros: print errno
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: macros: print (int) errno

XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: pthreads-static-macros: print (int) errno
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: pthreads-static-macros: check errno value from corefile
On Fedora 39, with glibc debug info, but without libc.a (for static
linking), there are 2 XFAILs, 2 UNSUPPORTED tests, and 4 UNTESTED
tests.
So, even when testing in less than ideal conditions, either due to lack
of glibc debuginfo or lack of a libc to link against to make a static
binary, there are no failures.
With glibc debuginfo installed, on Fedora 38, Fedora 39, Fedora 40,
Fedora rawhide (41), and Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, I see these XFAILs:
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: macros: check errno value from corefile

XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: pthreads-static-macros: check errno value from corefile
On FreeBSD 13.1, the total number of XFAILs are fewer, and could be
even better still if it had debug info for glibc:
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: default: print errno
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: default: check errno value from corefile

Starting with glibc-2.34, most of the pthreads library has been
incorporated into libc, so finding thread-local variables using
libthread_db is possible for several scenarios in which it previously
wasn't. But, prior to this, accessing errno for the default scenario
was a problem. This is borne out by running this new test on Fedora
34, which uses glibc-2.33:
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: default: print errno
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: default: print (int) errno

In the v3 version of this test, Tom de Vries tested on openSUSE Leap
15.5 and found a number of cases which showed a FAIL instead of an
XFAIL. The v4 version of this test fixed those problems. On Leap
15.5, which uses glibc-2.31, with glibc debug info, I now see:
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: default: print errno
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: default: print (int) errno
XFAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: default: check errno value from corefile

The v5 version of this test fixed failures when testing with
check-read1. (Thanks to Linaro CI for finding these.) I revised the
regular expressions being used so that the failures were eliminated,
but the results mentioned above have not changed.
The v6 version of this test fixes some nits pointed out by both Tom
de Vries and Pedro Alves. One of Pedro's suggestions was to rename the
test from check-errno.exp to errno.exp, so in v5, the name has
changed. Tom also noticed that there were failures when using
--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver. For v6, I've tested on 10
different Linux machines (F38, F39, F39 w/o glibc debuginfo, F39 w/o
static glibc, F40, rawhide, Ubuntu 22.04, Leap 15.5, Leap 15.5 w/o
glibc debuginfo, and Fedora 34) using "make check" and "make check-read1"
using target boards "unix", "native-extended-gdbserver", and
"native-gdbserver", with CC_FOR_TARGET set to both gcc and clang, for
a total of 12 distinct test runs on each machine. I've also tested the
native-only cases on FreeBSD. (Attempting to test against gdbserver
on FreeBSD resulted in hangs while running the test suite.)
The v7 version of this test simplifies the REs used in the uses of
gdb_test_multiple by adding -wrap and removing parts of the REs which
match the GDB prompt. In cases where there was a leading '.*', those
were removed too. Thanks to Pedro for explaining how to use -wrap.
So, bottom line, this test does not introduce any new failures on the
platforms on which I've tested, but the XFAILs are certainly unfortunate.
Some aren't fixable - e.g. when attempting to make a function call while
debugging a core file - but I think that some of them are. I'm using
this new test case as a starting point for investigating problems with
printing errno.

Making two cleanups that came out of the comments from my previous

extensions are ordered alphabetically.
2. Fixing faminmax test cases so that they follow the existing test
conventions.
dwarf2_per_bfd::index_addrmap is only used by the .gdb_index reader,
so this field can be moved to mapped_gdb_index instead. Then,
cooked_index_functions::find_per_cu can be removed in favor of a

The logic to decide if an input relocation for a symbol becomes a
particular kind of output relocation is one of the hard to maintain
parts of the bfd ld backend, since it is partially repeated across
elfNN_aarch64_check_relocs (where dynamic relocations are counted per
symbol and input section),
elfNN_aarch64_late_size_sections (where relocation sections are sized
and GOT offsets assigned),
elfNN_aarch64_relocate_section (where most relocations are applied and
output to a relocation section),
elfNN_aarch64_finish_dynamic_symbol (where some of the GOT
relocations are applied and output).
The DT_RELR support adds another layer to this complexity: after the
output relocation sections are sized, so all dynamic relocations are
accounted (in elfNN_aarch64_late_size_sections), we scan the symbols
and input relocations again to decide which ones become relative
relocations that can be packed. The sizes of the relocation sections
are updated accordingly. This logic must be consistent with the code
that applies the relocs later so each relative relocation is emitted
exactly once: either in .rela.* or packed in .relr.dyn.
Sizing of .relr.dyn is done via elfNN_aarch64_size_relative_relocs that
may be called repeatedly whenever the layout changes since an address
change can affect the size of the packed format. Then the final content
is emitted in elfNN_aarch64_finish_relative_relocs, that is called
after the layout is final and before relocations are applied and
emitted. These hooks are only called if DT_RELR is enabled.
We only pack relative relocs that are known to be aligned in the output
during .relr.dyn sizing, the potentially unaligned relative relocs are
emitted normally (in .rela.*, not packed), because the format requires
aligned addresses.
These run after template matching. Therefore it is quite pointless for
them to check all operands, when operand sizes matching across operands
is already known. Exit the loops early in such cases.
In check_byte_reg() also drop a long-stale part of a comment.
These structs are not referenced anywhere anymore and seemed to have been
missed at some point when their usage was removed.

While preparing the new release it was discovered that commit:
commit 824083f34c
Date: Fri Apr 12 17:47:20 2024 +0100
gdb/doc: use silent-rules.mk in the Makefile
was causing problems. Given a release tar file, an attempt to build
and install GDB would give an error like this:
[...]
TEXI2POD gdb.pod
cannot find GDBvn.texi at ../../../gdb-15.0.50.20240508/gdb/doc/../../etc/texi2pod.pl line 251, <GEN0> line 16.
make[5]: *** [Makefile:663: gdb.pod] Error 2
The problem here is how the man pages are built, and how they are
distributed within a release.
Within the development (git) tree, the man page files are not part of
the source tree, these files are built as needed. Within a release
tar file though, the man pages are included. The idea being that a
user can build and install GDB, including getting the man pages,
without having to install the tools needed to generate the man pages.
The man pages are generated in a two step process. First the .texi
file is processed with texi2pod to create a .pod file, then this .pod
file is processed to create the .1 or .5 man file.
Prior to the above commit these two steps were combined into a single
recipe, this meant that when a user performed a build/install from a
release tree all of the dependencies, as well as the final result,
were all present in the source tree, and so nothing needed to be
rebuilt.
However, the above commit split the two steps apart. Now we had a
separate rule for building the .pod files, and the .1/.5 man page
files depended on the relevant .pod file.
As the .pod files are not shipped in a GDB release, this meant that
one of the dependencies of the man page files was now missing. As a
result if a user tried to install from a release tree a rebuild of the
.pod files would be attempted, and if that succeeded then building the
man pages would follow that.
Unfortunately, building the .pod files would fail as the GDBvn.texi
file, though present in the source tree, was not present in the build
tree, which is where it is needed for the .pod file generation to
work.
To fix this, I propose merging the .pod creation and the .1/.5 man
page creation back into a single recipe. Having these two steps split
is probably the "cleaner" solution, but makes it harder for us to
achieve our goal of shipping the prebuilt man page files. I've added
a comment explaining what's going on (such a comment would have
prevented this mistake having been made in the first place).
One possibly weird thing here is that I have left both an
ECHO_TEXI2POD and a ECHO_TEXI2MAN in the rule $(MAN1S) and $(MAN5S)
recipes. This is 100% not going to break anything, these just print
two different progress messages while executing the recipes, but I'm
not sure if this is considered poor style or not. Maybe we're only
supposed to have a single ECHO_* per recipe?
Anyway, even if this is poor style, I figure it really is just a style
thing. We can tweak this later as needed. Otherwise, this commit
should fix the current issue blocking the next GDB release.

In some cases using section names instead of symbol names for
displaying an address is more useful.
If the symbol falls outside the section where the address is
then likely it is not useful to display the address relative to.
And if symbols are stripped from a binary then printing the
section that contains the address is more useful than printing
<no sym>.
Filter symbols before binary searching for the right symbol to display
for a given address, such that only displayable symbols are present and
at most one per address.
The current logic does not handle multiple symbols for the same address
well if some of them are empty, the selected symbol is not stable with
respect to an unrelated symbol table change and on aarch64 often mapping
symbols are displayed which is not useful.
Filtering solves these problems at the cost of a linear scan of the
sorted symbol table.
The heuristic to select the best symbol likely could be improved, this
patch aims to improve symbol display for RELR without complex logic
such that the output is useful and stable for ld tests.
Except for very few insns mnemonic suffixes aren't permitted in Intel
syntax. Warn about such for now, indicating that they will be outright
refused down the road.
While fiddling with testcases to address fallout, drop a few things
which should never have been tested as valid Intel syntax.
Also add a previously missing line to simd-suffix.d.
Since we uniformly permit D suffixes in Intel mode whenever in AT&T mode
an L suffix may be used, we need to be consistent with this.
Take the easy route, despite that still leading to an anomaly which is
also visible from the new testcase:
shld eax, ecx, 1
shld eax, ecx, cl
can mean two things with APX: SHL with a D suffix in NDD EVEX encoding,
or the traditional SHLD in legacy encoding.
PR31796 is the result of lack of aarch64 support in obj-coff-seh.c.

than giving internal errors.

The default memory region sizes for PRU were set somewhat arbitrarily to
the sizes of the most popular BeagleBone board with AM33x SoC. But the
PRU toolchain documentation has always instructed to use SoC-specific
spec files to override the defaults and set the correct memory sizes [1].
The small default memory sizes can cause IMEM memory region overflow
even for simple printf("Hello world") programs, as usually done by
Autotools checks. The stdio is simply too big to fit in 8K
instruction memory. This can confuse the check and lead to wrong
feature selection during configure [2].
Fix by bumping the default DMEM and IMEM memory sizes.
There is no need to backport this patch. Issue was caught with a
feature-rich newlib build used for daily CI. The release builds of the
PRU toolchain use stripped newlib configuration, which does not overflow
the IMEM region, even for 8K.

Introduces instructions for the SVE2 lut extension for AArch64. They are documented in the following links:
* luti2: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0602/2024-03/SVE-Instructions/LUTI2--Lookup-table-read-with-2-bit-indices-?lang=en
* luti4: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0602/2024-03/SVE-Instructions/LUTI4--Lookup-table-read-with-4-bit-indices-?lang=en
These instructions use new SVE2 vector operands. They are called
SVE_Zm1_23_INDEX, SVE_Zm2_22_INDEX, and Zm3_12_INDEX and they have
1 bit, 2 bit, and 3 bit indices respectively.
The lsb and width of these new operands are the same as many existing
operands but the convention is to give different names to fields that
serve different purpose so we introduced new fields in aarch64-opc.c
and aarch64-opc.h.
We made a design choice for the second operand of the halfword variant of
luti4 with two register tables. We could have either defined a new operand,
like SVE_Znx2, or we could have use the existing operand SVE_ZnxN. With
the new operand, we would need to implement constraints on register
lists based on either operand or opcode flag. With existing operand, we
could just existing constraint checks using opcode flag. We chose
the second approach and went with SVE_ZnxN and added opcode flag to
enforce lengths of vector register list operands. This way, we can reuse
the existing constraint check logic.

These instructions needed definition of some new operands. We will first
discuss operands for the third operand of the instructions and then
discuss a vector register list operand needed for the second operand.
The third operands are vectors with bit indices and without type
qualifiers. They are called Em_INDEX1_14, Em_INDEX2_13, and Em_INDEX3_12
and they have 1 bit, 2 bit, and 3 bit indices respectively. For these
new operands, we defined new parsing case branch. The lsb and width of
these operands are the same as many existing but the convention is to
give different names to fields that serve different purpose so we
introduced new fields in aarch64-opc.c and aarch64-opc.h for these new
operands.
For the second operand of these instructions, we introduced a new
operand called LVn_LUT. This represents a vector register list with
stride 1. We defined new inserter and extractor for this new operand and
it is encoded in FLD_Rn. We are enforcing the number of registers in the
reglist using opcode flag rather than operand flag as this is what other
SIMD vector register list operands are doing. The disassembly also uses
opcode flag to print the correct number of registers.
This changes target_ops::thread_events and target_thread_events to use
'bool'. The callers were already doing this.
Tested by rebuilding.

The autogenerated files in opcodes use spaces for indentation.
Changing that would be a lot of work to little benefit, so add a local
override to the white-space rules, so patches apply cleanly.
The type U RISC-V instruction format in gas/doc/c-riscv.texi shows the
bit arrangement of the simm20 immediate that belongs to the J type;
It should be just `simm20[19:0]`. The current behavior of `gas` matches
the proposed documentation change.
Additionally, the opcode is called `opcode6` despite of having 7 bits.
Rename it to `opcode7`.
