My previous nm patch handled all cases but one -- if the user set NM in
the environment to a path which contained an option, libtool's nm
detection tries to run nm against a copy of nm with the options in it:
e.g. if NM was set to "nm --blargle", and nm was found in /usr/bin, the
test would try to run "/usr/bin/nm --blargle /usr/bin/nm --blargle".
This is unlikely to be desirable: in this case we should run
"/usr/bin/nm --blargle /usr/bin/nm".
Furthermore, as part of this nm has to detect when the passed-in $NM
contains a path, and in that case avoid doing a path search itself.
This too was thrown off if an option contained something that looked
like a path, e.g. NM="nm -B../prev-gcc"; libtool then tries to run
"nm -B../prev-gcc nm" which rarely works well (and indeed it looks
to see whether that nm exists, finds it doesn't, and wrongly concludes
that nm -p or whatever does not work).
Fix all of these by clipping all options (defined as everything
including and after the first " -") before deciding whether nm
contains a path (but not using the clipped value for anything else),
and then removing all options from the path-modified nm before
looking to see whether that nm existed.
NM=my-nm now does a path search and runs e.g.
/usr/bin/my-nm -B /usr/bin/my-nm
NM=/usr/bin/my-nm now avoids a path search and runs e.g.
/usr/bin/my-nm -B /usr/bin/my-nm
NM="my-nm -p../wombat" now does a path search and runs e.g.
/usr/bin/my-nm -p../wombat -B /usr/bin/my-nm
NM="../prev-binutils/new-nm -B../prev-gcc" now avoids a path search:
../prev-binutils/my-nm -B../prev-gcc -B ../prev-binutils/my-nm
This seems to be all combinations, including those used by GCC bootstrap
(which, before this commit, fails to bootstrap when configured
--with-build-config=bootstrap-lto, because the lto plugin is now using
--export-symbols-regex, which requires libtool to find a working nm,
while also using -B../prev-gcc to point at the lto plugin associated
with the GCC just built.)
Regenerate all affected configure scripts.
* libtool.m4 (LT_PATH_NM): Handle user-specified NM with
options, including options containing paths.
I much appreciate Nick offering this role to me. Nevertheless there's
still a lot for me to learn here.
At this occasion also update my email address in the pre-existing, much
more narrow entry.
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
Owner Data size Description

{
".address_space": "global",
".name": "out.coerce",
".offset": 0,
".size": 8,
".value_kind": "global_buffer",
},
<snip>
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.

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:

The Linux kernel usually ouputs symbol+offset instead of plain code
addresses these days, to avoid leaking ASLR secrets and to handle
dynamically loaded modules.
Converting those with addr2line is somewhat involved: it requires
looking up the symbol first using nm and then manually compute the
offset, and then pass it to addr2line.
This patch implements the necessary steps directly in addr2line,
by looking up the symbol (with demangling if needed) and computing
the offset.
It's possible that a symbol is ambigious with a hex number. In this
case it uses the symbol lookup if the string contains a +. When it isn't
ambigious the + is optional.

objcopy's --only-keep-debug option has been broken for ELF files since
commit 8c803a2dd7.
1. binutils/objcopy.c:setup_section() marks non-debug sections as
SHT_NOBITS, then calls bfd_copy_private_section_data();
2. If ISEC and OSEC share the same section flags,
bfd/elf.c:_bfd_elf_init_private_section_data() restores OSEC's
section type back to ISEC's section type, effectively undoing
"make_nobits".
* objcopy.c (setup_section): Act on make_nobits after calling
bfd_copy_private_section_data.
binutils/NEWS says of the change in --process-links semantics:
If other debug section display options are also enabled (eg
--debug-dump=info) then the contents of matching sections in both the main
file and the separate debuginfo file *will* be displayed. This is because in
most cases the debug section will only be present in one of the files.
Implying that debug info is dumped without --process-links. Indeed
that appears to be the case for readelf. This does the same for
objdump.

PowerPC64 takes a more traditional approach to DT_RELR than x86. Count
relative relocs in check_relocs, allocate space for them and output in
the usual places but not doing so when enable_dt_relr. DT_RELR is
sized in the existing ppc stub relaxation machinery, run via the
linker's ldemul_after_allocation hook. DT_RELR is output in the same
function that writes ppc stubs, run via ldemul_finish.
This support should be considered experimental.

and I believe people have run into getting testsuite failures for
test-environments with "long" directory names, at least once more
since that time. Enough. I grepped the gas, binutils and ld
testsuites for "CU:" to catch target-specific occurrences, but I
noticed none. I chose to remove "CU:" on the objdump tests instead of
changing options to get the wide format, so as to keep the name of the
test consistent with actual options; but added it to the readelf
options for the gas test as I believe the "CU:" format is preferable.
