- Use of nonportable <endian.h>
- Use of qsort_r
- Use of zlib without appropriate magic to pull in the binutils zlib
- Use of off64_t without checking (fixed by dropping the unused fields
that need off64_t entirely)
- signedness problems due to long being too short a type on 32-bit
platforms: ctf_id_t is now 'unsigned long', and CTF_ERR must be
used only for functions that return ctf_id_t
- One lingering use of bzero() and of <sys/errno.h>
All fixed, using code from gnulib where possible.
Relatedly, set cts_size in a couple of places it was missed

This introduces CTF support for objdump and readelf. objdump has the
following new arguments:
--ctf=SECTION: display CTF in the given SECTION
--ctf-parent=SECTION: name of CTF section that is the parent of this section
readelf has the above, and these two as well:
--ctf-symbols=SECTION: name of symbol table section (optional)
--ctf-strings=SECTION: name of string table section (optional)
(objdump can always use BFD machinery to determine the applicable string
and symbol tables automatically, so these arguments are unnecessary.)
Nearly all the work is done by the ctf_dump machinery in libctf: most of
the remaining work is option-processing and section-reading, and thus is
different for objdump and readelf: the minimal amount of similar code
remaining is, in my view, too small to share, particularly given that
objdump uses ctf_bfdopen() and readelf uses ctf_simple_open() since it
doesn't have a bfd.
I am not particularly satisfied with the way resources are freed in
either of these (I was forced to do it at the top level, for lack of
anywhere else to free resources allocated during option processing), but
I can't see any better way to do it without introducing new
infrastructure for no other purpose.
There are essentially arbitrary ordering changes to the Makefile.in's
order of libtool-related stuff that I can't get rid of, but they have no
semantic effect. (It is possible that some hunks of these changes could
be dropped, but that seems a bit risky to me.)

The patch is straightforward, it does the following:
- support the new Tag_CPU_arch build attribute value, ie.:
+ declare the new value
+ update all the asserts forcing logic to be reviewed for new
architectures
+ create a corresponding bfd_mach_arm_8_1M_MAIN enumerator in bfd and
add mapping from Tag_CPU_arch to it
+ teach readelf about new Tag_CPU_arch value
- declare armv8.1-m.main as a supported architecture value
- define Armv8.1-M Mainline in terms of feature bits available
- tell objdump mapping from bfd_mach_arm_8_1M_MAIN enumerator to feature
bits available
- update architecture-specific logic in gas and bfd guarded by the
asserts mentioned above.
- tests for all the above

This fixes the testcases that are failing due to my recent patch.
It turns out that the start address across baremetal and linux builds
isn't entirely predictable without a linker script. Since the address
themselves are not the important thing I am ignoring them now.
Secondly I was encoding data using .word using non 0 values, however
because .word is subjected to endiannes these non-zero values under
big-endian happen to fall into the encoding space of instructions which
changes the disassembly. Using 0 fixes this problem and the purpose of
the test still holds, though objdump will dump ... for data only sections,
which is ok as the data/insn mixed sections will test the patch.
The ARM Attributes sections is not important and is ignored.

Similar to the AArch64 patches the Arm disassembler has the same issues with
out of order sections but also a few short comings.
For one thing there are multiple code blocks to determine mapping symbols, and
they all work slightly different, and neither fully correct. The first thing
this patch does is centralise the mapping symbols search into one function
mapping_symbol_for_insn. This function is then updated to perform a search in
a similar way as AArch64.
Their used to be a value has_mapping_symbols which was used to determine the
default disassembly for objects that have no mapping symbols. The problem with
the approach was that it was determining this value in the same loop that needed
it, which is why this field could take on the states -1, 0, 1 where -1 means
"don't know". However this means that until you actually find a mapping symbol
or reach the end of the disassembly glob, you don't know if you did the right
action or not, and if you didn't you can't correct it anymore.
This is why the two jump-reloc-veneers-* testcases end up disassembling some
insn as data when they shouldn't.
Out of order here refers to an object file where sections are not listed in a
monotonic increasing VMA order.
The ELF ABI for Arm [1] specifies the following for mapping symbols:
1) A text section must always have a corresponding mapping symbol at it's
start.
2) Data sections do not require any mapping symbols.
3) The range of a mapping symbol extends from the address it starts on up to
the next mapping symbol (exclusive) or section end (inclusive).
However there is no defined order between a symbol and it's corresponding
mapping symbol in the symbol table. This means that while in general we look
up for a corresponding mapping symbol, we have to make at least one check of
the symbol below the address being disassembled.
When disassembling different PCs within the same section, the search for mapping
symbol can be cached somewhat. We know that the mapping symbol corresponding to
the current PC is either the previous one used, or one at the same address as
the current PC.
However this optimization and mapping symbol search must stop as soon as we
reach the end or start of the section. Furthermore if we're only disassembling
a part of a section, the search is a allowed to search further than the current
chunk, but is not allowed to search past it (The mapping symbol if there, must
be at the same address, so in practice we usually stop at PC+4).
lastly, since only data sections don't require a mapping symbol the default
mapping type should be DATA and not INSN as previously defined, however if the
binary has had all its symbols stripped than this isn't very useful. To fix
this we determine the default based on the section flags. This will allow the
disassembler to be more useful on stripped binaries. If there is no section
than we assume you to be disassembling INSN.

The documentation for -D says that on Arm platforms -D should disassemble
data as instructions.
"If the target is an ARM architecture this switch also has the effect of
forcing the disassembler to decode pieces of data found in code sections
as if they were instructions. "
This makes it do as it says on the tincan so it's more consistent with
aarch32. The usecase here is for baremetal developers who have created
their instructions using .word directives instead if .insn.
Though for Linux users I do find this behavior somewhat non-optimal.
Perhaps there should be a new flag that just disassembles the values
following the actual mapping symbol?
