Binutils documentation uses a mix of spelling for the compound word
"command-line X". According to [1]:
"Sometimes compound words are written separately (nail polish),
sometimes with a hyphen (short-sighted) and sometimes as one word
(eyelashes). Often new compounds are written as two separate words and,
as they become more familiar, they are either connected with a hyphen
(-) or made into one word."
I think command-line X is common enough in our industry that the two
workds command and line should be connected. Since command-line is more
common than commandline, I propose to update binutils documentation to
consistently use "command-line" when this is used as an adjective to a
noun (eg. command-line argument, command-line switch, command-line
option and command-line flag). I've left occurences of "the command
line" as is. I've also left gdb, sim and readline alone and have only
touched public documentation (texi and NEWS files).

This patch adds a new platform option "notes" that can be used to indicate if
disassembly notes should be placed in the disassembly as comments.
These notes can contain information about a failing constraint such as reading
from a write-only register. The disassembly will not be blocked because of this
but -M notes will emit a comment saying that the operation is not allowed.
For assembly this patch adds a new non-fatal status for errors. This is
essentially a warning. The reason for not creating an actual warning type is
that this causes the interaction between the ordering of warnings and errors to
be problematic. Currently the error buffer is almost always filled because of
the way operands are matched during assembly. An earlier template may have put
an error there that would only be displayed if no other template matches or
generates a higher priority error. But by definition a warning is lower
priority than a warning, so the error (which is incorrect if another template
matched) will supersede the warning. By treating warnings as errors and only
later relaxing the severity this relationship keeps working and the existing
reporting infrastructure can be re-used.

Hi Guys,
I am applying the rather large patch attached to this email to enhance
the readelf and objdump programs so that they now have the ability to
follow links to separate debug info files. (As requested by PR
15152). So for example whereas before we had this output:
$ readelf -wi main.exe
Contents of the .debug_info section:
[...]
<15> DW_AT_comp_dir : (alt indirect string, offset: 0x30c)
[...]
With the new option enabled we get:
$ readelf -wiK main.exe
main.exe: Found separate debug info file: dwz.debug
Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from main.exe):
[...]
<15> DW_AT_comp_dir : (alt indirect string, offset: 0x30c) /home/nickc/Downloads/dwzm
[...]
The link following feature also means that we can get two lots of
output if the same section exists in both the main file and the
separate debug info file:
$ readelf -wiK main.exe
main.exe: Found separate debug info file: dwz.debug
Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from main.exe):
[...]
Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from dwz.debug):
[...]
The patch also adds the ability to display the contents of debuglink
sections:
$ readelf -wk main.exe
Contents of the .gnu_debugaltlink section:
Separate debug info file: dwz.debug
Build-ID (0x14 bytes):
c4 a8 89 8d 64 cf 70 8a 35 68 21 f2 ed 24 45 3e 18 7a 7a 93
Naturally there are long versions of these options (=follow-links and
=links). The documentation has been updated as well, and since both
readelf and objdump use the same set of debug display options, I have
moved the text into a separate file. There are also a couple of new
binutils tests to exercise the new behaviour.
There are a couple of missing features in the current patch however,
although I do intend to address them in follow up submissions:
Firstly the code does not check the build-id inside separate debug
info files when it is searching for a file specified by a
.gnu_debugaltlink section. It just assumes that if the file is there,
then it contains the information being sought.
Secondly I have not checked the DWARF-5 version of these link
features, so there will probably be code to add there.
Thirdly I have only implemented link following for the
DW_FORM_GNU_strp_alt format. Other alternate formats (eg
DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt) have yet to be implemented.
Lastly, whilst implementing this feature I found it necessary to move
some of the global variables used by readelf (eg section_headers) into
a structure that can be passed around. I have moved all of the global
variables that were necessary to get the patch working, but I need to
complete the operation and move the remaining, file-specific variables
(eg dynamic_strings).
Cheers
Nick

Mark an ALLOC section, which should be placed in special memory area,
with SHF_GNU_MBIND. Its sh_info field indicates the special memory
type. GNU_MBIND section names start with ".mbind" so that they are
placed as orphan sections by linker. All input GNU_MBIND sections
with the same sh_type, sh_flags and sh_info are placed in one output
GNU_MBIND section. In executable and shared object, create a
GNU_MBIND segment for each GNU_MBIND section and its segment type is
PT_GNU_MBIND_LO plus the sh_info value. Each GNU_MBIND segment is
aligned at page boundary.
The assembler syntax:
.section .mbind.foo,"adx",%progbits
^ 0: Special memory type.
|
'd' for SHF_GNU_MBIND.
.section .mbind.foo,"adx",%progbits,0x1

.section .mbind.bar,"adG",%progbits,.foo_group,comdat,0x2

'd' for SHF_GNU_MBIND.

The objcopy and strip tools make use of the bfd library to manipulate
the state of the input file (to produce an output file). Within the
input file (for ELF at least), relocations are held within a section,
and so, if the user wanted to remove the relocations, but keep the
section to which the relocations would have been applied, it is tempting
to think that specifying the name of a relocation section to objcopy's
--remove-section option might do what you want, for example:
objcopy --remove-section=.rela.text input.elf output.elf
However, this does not work. The reason is that when the input file is
loaded, relocations are not managed as sections, but are, instead,
loaded as data associated with the section to which the relocations
would be applied. In our example above the relocations in '.rela.text'
are held as data on the section '.text' once 'input.elf' is loaded.
One task that objcopy and strip do is copy the relocations from the
input file to the output file if the section is also being copied from
the input file to the output file.
This commit adds a new command line option for objcopy and strip,
--remove-relocations, which can be used to remove the relocations, while
keeping the section that the relocations would have been applied to, for
example:
objcopy --remove-relocations=.text input.elf output.elf
in this case the section '.text' will appear in both 'input.elf' and
'output.elf', but any relocations in 'input.elf' that apply to '.text'
will not be present in 'output.elf'.
I have also added a special case to the handling of --remove-section
that spots if a user tries to remove a relocation section (currently
this is done by spotting the '.rela.' or '.rel.' prefix) and forwards
the request to --remove-relocations.
As with --remove-section and --only-section the --remove-relocations
option supports the '!' prefix on the section-patterns it takes to allow
for sections to be specifically not matched.
There are tests for all the new functionality.

For symbol matching, prefixing a pattern with '!' will indicate a
non-matching pattern, however, this is not the case for section
patterns. As a result it is not possible to say "apply this action to
all sections except ...".
With this commit the objcopy and strip tools now support '!' prefix for
section patterns, so we can say:
objcopy --remove-section="*" --remove-section="!.text*"
Which will remove all sections, except those matching the pattern
'.text*'.

Since existing ld and gold support the 64-bit (MIPS) ELF archives, we
can use the 64-bit (MIPS) ELF archives as 64-bit archives. Since the
plugin target is used to create archive in plugin-enabled ar, we need
a way to enable 64-bit archives in the plugin target. This patch adds
--enable-64-bit-archive to bfd to force 64-bit archives in ar and
ranlib. Since both 64-bit MIPS and s390 ELF targets currently use
64-bit archives, 64-bit archives are enabled by default for them.
64-bit archive is generated automatically if the archive is too big.
Tested on Linux/x86 and Linux/x86-64 with existing ld and gold.

--all option which displays text from anywhere in the input file(s). The
default used to be --data, which only displays text from loadable data sections,
but this requires the use of the BFD library. Since the BFD library almost
