I had reason yesterday to want to regenerate configury files which I
do with --enable-maintainer-mode, and added --enable-cgen-maint
accidentally. The first problem I hit is that sim looks for cgen in a
different directory by default than opcodes, and I had my source
layout set up for opcodes rather than sim. Fix that by making both
use ../cgen first, then ../../cgen relative to sim/ and opcodes/. The
next problem was that various sim local.mk files expected generated
sources in the build dir rather than the source dir. Fix that by
adding $(srcdir) to paths. Finally, the generated iq2000 files had a
compile error, fixed by the cpu/iq2000.cpu patch.
cpu/
* iq2000.cpu (syscall): Add pc arg.
opcodes/
* configure.ac (cgendir): Default to ../../cgen, but use ../cgen
if found there.
* configure: Regenerate.
sim/m4/
* sim_ac_option_cgen_maint.m4 (cgendir): Look in ../cgen too.
sim/
* cris/local.mk: Add $(srcdir) to paths for regenerated source.
* frv/local.mk: Likewise.
* iq2000/local.mk: Likewise.
* lm32/local.mk: Likewise.
* m32r/local.mk: Likewise.
* or1k/local.mk: Likewise.
* Makefile.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
This regenerates config files changed by the previous 44 commits.
Note that subject lines in these commits mostly match the gcc git
originating commit.
CGEN is cool, but the BPF architecture is simply too bizarre for it.
The weird way of BPF to handle endianness in instruction encoding, the
weird C-like alternative assembly syntax, the weird abuse of
multi-byte (or infra-byte) instruction fields as opcodes, the unusual
presence of opcodes beyond the first 32-bits of some instructions, are
all examples of what makes it a PITA to continue using CGEN for this
port. The bpf.cpu file is becoming so complex and so nested with
p-macros that it is very difficult to read, and quite challenging to
update. Also, every time we are forced to change something in CGEN to
accommodate BPF requirements (which is often) we have to do extensive
testing to make sure we do not break any other target using CGEN.
This is getting un-maintenable.
So I have decided to bite the bullet and revamp/rewrite the port so it
no longer uses CGEN. Overall, this involved:
* To remove the cpu/bpf.{cpu,opc} descriptions.
* To remove the CGEN generated files.
* To replace the CGEN generated opcodes table with a new hand-written
opcodes table for BPF.
* To replace the CGEN generated disassembler wih a new disassembler
that uses the new opcodes.
* To replace the CGEN generated assembler with a new assembler that uses the
new opcodes.
* To replace the CGEN generated simulator with a new simulator that uses the
new opcodes. [This is pushed in GDB in another patch.]
* To adapt the build systems to the new situation.
Additionally, this patch introduces some extensions and improvements:
* A new BPF relocation BPF_RELOC_BPF_DISP16 plus corresponding ELF
relocation R_BPF_GNU_64_16 are added to the BPF BFD port. These
relocations are used for section-relative 16-bit offsets used in
load/store instructions.
* The disassembler now has support for the "pseudo-c" assembly syntax of
BPF. What dialect to use when disassembling is controlled by a command
line option.
* The disassembler now has support for dumping instruction immediates in
either octal, hexadecimal or decimal. The used output base is controlled
by a new command-line option.
* The GAS BPF test suite has been re-structured and expanded in order to
test the disassembler pseudoc syntax support. Minor bugs have been also
fixed there. The assembler generic tests that were disabled for bpf-*-*
targets due to the previous implementation of pseudoc syntax are now
re-enabled. Additional tests have been added to test the new features of
the assembler. .dump files are no longer used.
* The linker BPF test suite has been adapted to the command line options
used by the new disassembler.
The result is very satisfactory. This patchs adds 3448 lines of code
and removes 10542 lines of code.
Tested in:
* Target bpf-unknown-none with 64-bit little-endian host and 32-bit
little-endian host.
* Target x86-64-linux-gnu with --enable-targets=all
Note that I have not tested in a big-endian host yet. I will do so
once this lands upstream so I can use the GCC compiler farm.
I have not included ChangeLog entries in this patch: these would be
massive and not very useful, considering this is pretty much a rewrite
of the port. I beg the indulgence of the global maintainers.
Remove the now empty i386-opc.c. To compensate, tie table generation in
opcodes/ to the building of i386-dis.o, despite the file not really
depending on the generated data.
Some components of GNU Binutils will pass "-Wstack-usage=262144" when
"GCC >= 5.0" is detected. However, Clang does not support "-Wstack-usage",
despite that related configuration part in bfd/warning.m4 handles the latest
Clang (15.0.0 as of this writing) as "GCC >= 5.0".
The option "-Wstack-usage" was ignored when the first version of Clang is
released but even this "ignoring" behavior is removed before Clang 4.0.0.
So, if we give Clang "-Wstack-usage=262144", it generates a warning, making
the build failure.
This commit checks "__clang__" macro to prevent adding the option if the
compiler is identified as Clang.

Until we update the recommended versions of autoconf/automake, files
should be regenerated with automake-1.15.1 and autoconf-2.69. That's
not because we think those versions are golden, and newer versions are
bad. It's simply because maintainers want to be able to update
configury files without trouble, and if someone regenerates files with
automake-1.16.5 then --enable-maintainer-mode builds will hit errors:
checking that generated files are newer than configure... configure.ac:26: error: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.15.1,
configure.ac:26: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:26: comes from Automake 1.16.5. You should recreate
configure.ac:26: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
WARNING: 'automake-1.15' is probably too old.
Correcting this requires regenerating the files by hand.
Commit 04f096fb9e ("Move the xc16x target to the obsolete list") moved
the architecture from the "obsolete but still available" to the
"obsolete / support removed" list in config.bfd, making the architecture
impossible to enable (except maybe via "enable everything" options").
Note that I didn't touch */po/*.po{,t} on the assumption that these
would be updated by some (half)automatic means.
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.
There isn't an actual opcodes implementation for the AMDGCN arch (yet),
this is just the bare minimum to get

Move the 64-bit bfd logic out of bfd/configure.ac and into bfd64.m4
under config so it can be shared between all the other subdirs.
This replaces want64 with enable_64_bit_bfd which was already being
declared, but not used directly.
If built as a shared library, libopcodes has a load-time dependency on
libbfd, which is recorded in the dynamic section, however without a
corresponding RPATH entry for the directory to find libbfd in. This
causes loading to fail whenever libbfd is only pulled by libopcodes
indirectly and libbfd has been installed in a directory that is not in
the dynamic loader's search path.
It does not happen with the programs included with binutils or GDB,
because they all also pull libbfd when using libopcodes, but it can
happen with external software, e.g.:
$ gdbserver --help
gdbserver: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-[...].so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$
(not our `gdbserver').
Indirect dynamic dependencies are handled by libtool automatically by
adding RPATH entries as required, however our setup for libopcodes
prevents this from happening by linking in libbfd with an explicit file
reference sneaked through to the linker directly behind libtool's back
via the `-Wl' linker command-line option rather than via `-l' combined
with a suitable library search path specified via `-L', as it would be
usually the case, or just referring to the relevant .la file in a fully
libtool-enabled configuration such as ours.
According to an observation in the discussion back in 2007[1][2][3] that
has led to the current arrangement it is to prevent libtool from picking
up the wrong version of libbfd. It does not appear to be needed though,
not at least with our current libtool incarnation, as directly referring
`libbfd.la' does exactly what it should, as previously suggested[4], and
with no link-time reference to the installation directory other than to
set RPATH. Uninstalled version of libopcodes has libbfd's build-time
location prepended to RPATH too, as also expected.
Use a direct reference to `libbfd.la' then, making the load error quoted
above go away. Alternatively `-L' and `-l' could be used to the same
effect, but it seems an unnecessary complication and just another way to
circumvent rather than making use of libtool.

All other cgen ports keep their generated desc & opc files under
opcodes/, so move the cris files over too. The cris-opc.c file,
while not generated, is already here to complement.
Right now, these libraries hardwire -L../intl -lintl on a few fixed
platforms, which works fine on those platforms but on other platforms
leads to shared libraries that lack libintl_* symbols when configured
--with-included-gettext, and/or static libraries that contain libintl as
*another* static library. If we instead use the LIBINTL variable
defined in ../intl/config.intl, this gives us the right thing on all
three classes of platform (gettext in libc, gettext in system libintl,
gettext in ../intl/libintl.a).. This also means we can rip out some
Darwin-specific machinery from configure.ac and also simplify the Cygwin
side.
This also means that the libctf testsuite (and other places that include
libbfd, libopcodes or libctf) don't need to grow libintl dependencies
just on account of those libraries (though they still need such
dependencies if they themselves use gettext machinery).

I get some spurious changes when running autoconf/automake for various
projects in the tree. This is likely because they were generated using
distro-patched tools last time.
I ran `autoreconf -f` in the various automake projects of the
binutils-gdb tree, and this is the result. The tools I am using have
been compiled from source, from the upstream release.
