This core dump note contains the value of the base address of the %fs
and %gs segments for both i386 and amd64 core dumps. It is primarily
useful in resolving the address of TLS variables in core dumps.

The AMDGPU HSA OS ABI (code object v3 and above) defines the
NT_AMDGPU_METADATA ELF note [1]. The content is a msgpack object
describing, among other things, the kernels present in the code object
and how to call them.
I think it would be useful for readelf to be able to display the content
of those notes. msgpack is a structured format, a bit like JSON, except
not text-based. It is therefore possible to dump the contents in
human-readable form without knowledge of the specific layout of the
note.
Add configury to binutils to optionally check for the msgpack C library
[2]. Add There is a new --with{,out}-msgpack configure flag, and the actual
library lookup is done using pkg-config.
If msgpack support is enabled, dumping a NT_AMDGPU_METADATA note looks
like:
$ readelf --notes amdgpu-code-object
Displaying notes found in: .note

If msgpack support is disabled, dump the contents as hex, as is done
with notes that are not handled in a special way. This allows one to
decode the contents manually (maybe using a command-line msgpack
decoder) if really needed.

Decode and print the AMDGPU-specific fields of e_flags, as documented
here:

That is:
- The specific GPU model
- Whether the xnack and sramecc features are enabled
The result looks like:
- Flags: 0x52f
+ Flags: 0x52f, gfx906, xnack any, sramecc any
The flags for the "HSA" OS ABI are properly versioned and documented on
that page. But the NONE, PAL and MESA3D OS ABIs are not well documented
nor versioned. Taking a peek at the LLVM source code, we see that they
encode their flags the same way as HSA v3. For example, for PAL:
c8b614cd74/llvm/lib/Target/AMDGPU/MCTargetDesc/AMDGPUTargetStreamer.cpp (L601)
So for those other OS ABIs, we read them the same as HSA v3.

I noticed that, occasionally, dwarf-mode would think that the objdump
subprocess was still running after it had clearly exited. I managed
to reliably reproduce this today and learned that a process sentinel
is not guaranteed to be run with the current buffer set to the process
buffer. This patch fixes the problem.
I've bumped the version number of dwarf-mode.el to make it easier to
install for users who already have an earlier one installed.
I'm checking this in.

Correct issues with INSN2_ALIAS annotation for branch instructions:
- regular MIPS BEQZ/L and BNEZ/L assembly instructions are idioms for
BEQ/L and BNE/L respectively with the `rs' operand equal to $0,
- microMIPS 32-bit BEQZ and BNEZ assembly instructions are idioms for
BEQ and BNE respectively with the `rt' operand equal to $0,
- regular MIPS BAL assembly instruction is an idiom for architecture
levels of up to the MIPSr5 ISA and a machine instruction on its own
from the MIPSr6 ISA up.
Add missing annotation to BEQZ/L and BNEZ/L accordingly then and add a
new entry for BAL for the MIPSr6 ISA, correcting a disassembly bug:
$ mips-linux-gnu-objdump -m mips:isa64r6 -M no-aliases -d bal.o
bal.o: file format elf32-tradlittlemips
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <foo>:
0: 04110000 0x4110000
...
$
Add test cases accordingly.

While looking at an apparently malformed executable with

This option has been present since the very early days of the
development of libctf as part of binutils, and it shows. Back in the
earliest days, I thought we might handle ambiguous types by introducing
new ELF sections on the fly named things like .ctf.foo.c for ambiguous
types found only in foo.c, etc. This turned out to be a terrible idea,
so we moved to using a CTF archive in the .ctf section which contained
all the CTF dictionaries -- but the --ctf-parent option in objdump and
readelf was never adjusted, and lingered as a mechanism to specify CTF
parent dictionaries in sections other than .ctf, even though the linker
has no way to produce parent dictionaries in different sections from
their children, libctf's ctf_open can't handle such split-up
parent/child dicts, and they are never found in the wild, emitted by GNU
ld or by any known third-party linking tool.
Meanwhile, the actually-useful ctf_link feature (albeit not used by ld)
which lets you remap the names of CTF archive members (so you can end up
with a parent archive member named something other than ".ctf", still
contained with all its children in a single .ctf section) had no support
in objdump or readelf: there was no way to tell them that these members
were parents, so all the types in the associated child dicts always
appeared corrupted, referencing nonexistent types from a parent objdump
couldn't find.
So adjust --ctf-parent so that rather than taking a section name it
takes a member name instead (if not specified, the name is ".ctf", which
is what GNU ld emits). Because the option was always useless before
now, this is expected to have no backward-compatibility implications.
As part of this, we have to slightly adjust the code which skips the
archive member name if redundant: right now it skips it if it's ".ctf",
on the assumption that this name will almost always be at the start
of the objdump output and thus we'll end up with a shared dump
and then smaller, headed dumps for the per-TU child dicts; but if
the parent name has been changed, that won't be true any more.
So change the rules to "members named .ctf which appear first in the
first have their member name skipped". Since we now need to count
members, move from ctf_archive_iter (for which passing in extra
parameters requires defining a new struct and is clumsy) to
ctf_archive_next, allowing us to just *call* dump_ctf_archive_member and
maintain a member count in the obvious way. In the process we fix a
tiny difference between readelf and objdump: if a ctf_dump ever failed,
readelf skipped every later member, while objdump tried to keep going as
much as it could. For a dumping tool the former is clearly preferable.

2021-10-25 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com>
* objdump.c (usage): --ctf-parent now takes a name, not a section.
(dump_ctf): Don't open a separate section; use the parent_name in
ctf_dict_open instead. Use ctf_archive_next, not ctf_archive_iter,
so we can pass down a member count.
(dump_ctf_archive_member): Add the member count; don't return
anything. Import parents into children no matter what the
parent's name, while still avoiding displaying the header for the
common parent name of ".ctf".

When the RISC-V disassembler encounters an unknown instruction, it
currently just prints the value of the bytes, like this:
Dump of assembler code for function custom_insn:
0x00010132 <+0>: addi sp,sp,-16
0x00010134 <+2>: sw s0,12(sp)
0x00010136 <+4>: addi s0,sp,16
0x00010138 <+6>: 0x52018b
0x0001013c <+10>: 0x9c45
My proposal, in this patch, is to change the behaviour to this:
Dump of assembler code for function custom_insn:
0x00010132 <+0>: addi sp,sp,-16
0x00010134 <+2>: sw s0,12(sp)
0x00010136 <+4>: addi s0,sp,16
0x00010138 <+6>: .4byte 0x52018b
0x0001013c <+10>: .2byte 0x9c45
Adding the .4byte and .2byte opcodes. The benefit that I see here is
that in the patched version of the tools, the disassembler output can
be fed back into the assembler and it should assemble to the same
binary format. Before the patch, the disassembler output is invalid
assembly.
I've started a RISC-V specific test file under binutils so that I can
add a test for this change.
