The low four bits of an immediate being set when the high bits specify a
fourth register operand is not a problem: CPUs ignore these bits rather
than raising #UD. Take care of incrementing codep in OP_EX_VexW()
instead.
Just like %cxl can't be used as shift count register. Otherwise for
consistency %cxl would need to gain "ShiftCount" and use of both ought
to properly cause REX prefixes to be emitted.
To allow translators to reorder values in translated strings. This
should mean that all binutils messages now have support for
reordering.
Note to translators: Not all % letters take arguments, so for example
the following only has two arguments, the two %s strings.
"%P%F: output format %s cannot represent section called %s: %E\n"
You could reorder this if you liked to:
"%P%F: %E: section %2$s cannot be represented in output format %1$s\n"
einfo lacks support for flags, field width, precision and length
modifier (apart from %ld and %lu) so don't try to use them in
translations. Both ld and bfd lack support to use a positional arg
twice. These features could be added if needed..
* ldmisc.c (vfinfo): Support up to 9 positional args.
We have a customer who is using a Corelis gdb server to connect to gdb.
Occasionally, the gdb server will send a 0-byte block of memory for a
read. When this happens, gdb gives an assertion from target.c:
internal-error: target_xfer_partial: Assertion `*xfered_len > 0' failed.
This problem is almost identical to that fixed in
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00636.html
In this case, remote.c needs to be modified to return TARGET_XFER_EOF
instead of TARGET_XFER_OK or TARGET_XFER_UNAVAILABLE when 0 bytes are
transferred.

Get rid of VEC (mem_region)
a664f67e50
I introduced a regression, where the length of the memory region is
assigned to the "hi" field. It should obviously be computed as "start +
length". To my defense, no test had caught this :). As a penance, I
wrote one.

The fix for the PR is to not use input_section->output_section->owner
to get to the output bfd, but use the output bfd directly since it is
available nowadays in struct bfd_link_info.
I thought it worth warning when non-empty dynamic sections are
discarded too, which meant a tweak to one of the ld tests to avoid the
warning.

There is code in bfd/elf-eh-frame.c and ld/emultempl/elf32.em that
checks for the presence of eh_frame info by testing for a section
named .eh_frame sized more than 8 bytes. The size test is to exclude
a zero terminator. A similar check in elf64-ppc.c wrongly just tested
for non-zero size before creating the linker generated .eh_frame
describing plt call and other linkage stubs. The intention was to not
generate that info unless there was some user .eh_frame. (No user
.eh_frame implies the user doesn't care about exception handling.)
Because the test in elf64-ppc.c was wrong, ld generated the stub
.eh_frame just on finding a zero .eh_frame terminator in crtend.o, but
didn't generate the corresponding .eh_frame_hdr.

Commit dd90581873 ("Place .shstrtab section after .symtab and .strtab,

forgot to adjust sh_link references from relocation and group section
table entries.
Additionally some other (perhaps subsequent) change appears to have
added .rel.* and .rela.* sections to their respective groups, which
requires some further adjustments to group-2.d. I assume this additional
breakage wasn't noticed because the test was already failing at that
time.
This makes the gas testsuite complete successfully again for me in a
cross build on ix86-linux; there continue to be quite a few ld failures.
Linking EFI executables from ELF object files can result in corrupted
COFF section flags if the section's alignment is too high. Issue a
diagnostic in that case, erroring out if this is not a final link, and
make sure only in-range values get written to the output image.
While doing this also make tic80 use the generic alignment macros
instead of custom #ifdef-ary.
No testsuite regressions for the range of COFF/PE targets that actually
cross-build in the first place on x86-64-linux.
Just like is the case for xsave{s,c}64 and xrstors64 already. I wonder
though why xsave{s,c} and xrstors don't allow for the q suffix, other
than the other insns without the "64" suffix do.

i386_finalize_displacement() expects baseindex to already be set, so
the respective statement needs to be moved up. This then also allows a
subsequent conditional to be simplified.
For this to not regress on 32-bit addressing, break out address size
guessing from i386_index_check(), invoking the new function earlier so
that i386_finalize_displacement() has i.prefix[ADDR_PREFIX] available.
i386_addressing_mode () in turn needs i.base_reg / i.index_reg set
earlier.

It was reasonable to mark PT_PHDR segment with PF_X for compatibility

The existing code allowed common and indirect symbols to pass an
assert, but then read root.u.def which is not valid for anything
besides defined and weakdef symbols. The garbage root.u.def.section
pointer read can't possibly match pointers stored at the same location
for indirect and common symbols, so we would always have left
u.weakdef NULL.
* elflink.c (elf_link_add_object_symbols): Ignore anything but
defined and defweak symbols when setting up weakdefs.
This patch was aimed at a FIXME in elf32-hppa.c, the ludicrous and
confusing fact that non_got_ref after adjust_dynamic_relocs in that
backend means precisely the inverse of what it means before
adjust_dynamic_relocs. Before, when non_got_ref is set it means there
are dynamic relocs, after, if non_got_ref is clear it means "keep
dynamic relocs" and later, "has dynamic relocs". There is a reason
why it was done that way.. Some symbols that may have dynamic
relocations pre-allocated in check_relocs turn out to not be dynamic,
and then are not seen by the backend adjust_dynamic_symbols. We want
those symbols to lose their dynamic relocs when non-pic, so it's handy
that non_got_ref means the opposite after adjust_dynamic_relocs. But
it's really confusing.
Most other targets, like ppc32, don't always set non_got_ref on
non-GOT references that have dynamic relocations. This is because the
primary purpose of non_got_ref before adjust_dynamic_relocs is to flag
symbols that might need to be copied to .dynbss, and there are
relocation types that may require dyn_relocs but clearly cannot have
symbols copied into .dynbss, for example, TLS relocations.
Why do we need a flag after adjust_dynamic_relocs to say "keep
dynamic relocations"? Well, you can discard most unwanted dyn_relocs
in the backend adjust_dynamic_relocs, and for those symbols that
aren't seen by the backend adjust_dynamic_relocs, in
allocate_dynrelocs based on a flag set by adjust_dynamic relocs,
dynamic_adjusted. That doesn't solve all our difficulties though.
relocate_section needs to know whether a symbol has dyn_relocs, and
many targets transfer dyn_relocs to a weakdef if the symbol has one.
The transfer means relocate_section can't test dyn_relocs itself and
the weakdef field has been overwritten by that time. So non_got_ref
is used to flag "this symbol has dynamic relocations" for
relocate_section.
Confused still? Well, let's hope the comments I've added help clarify
things.. The patch also fixes a case where we might wrongly emit
dynamic relocations in an executable for common and undefined symbols.
