BFD handles ELF relocation sections in an executable differently to
relocation sections in a relocatable object. For a relocatable
object, BFD carries the relocations as data associated with the
section to which they apply; The relocation section doesn't appear as
a separate section. For an executable, dynamic relocation sections do
appear as separate sections. This means that objcopy needs to use
different strategies when dealing with relocations.
When --remove-relocations was added to objcopy with commit
d3e5f6c8f1, objcopy lost the ability to remove dynamic relocation
sections such as .rela.plt from executables using the option
"--remove-section=.rela.plt". This patch reinstates that
functionality.
I thought it best to keep --remove-relocations as is, rather than
extending to handle dynamic relocations as per the patch in the PR,
because executables linked with --emit-relocs may have both dynamic
and non-dynamic relocations. In that case --remove-relocataions=* is
useful to remove all the non-dynamic relocations.

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

Currently print_insn_arc relies on BFD mach and ELF private headers to
distinguish between various ARC architectures. Sometimes those values are not
correct or available, mainly in the case of debugging targets without and ELF
file available. Changing a BFD mach is not a problem for the debugger, because
this is a generic BFD field, and GDB, for example, already sets it according to
information provided in XML target description or specified via GDB 'set arch'
command. However, things are more complicated for ELF private headers, since
it requires existing of an actual ELF file. To workaround this problem this
patch allows CPU model to be specified via disassemble info options. If CPU is
specified in options, then it will take a higher precedence than whatever might
be specified in ELF file.
This is mostly needed for ARC EM and ARC HS, because they have the same
"architecture" (mach) ARCv2 and differ in their private ELF headers. Other ARC
architectures can be distinguished between each other purely via "mach" field.
Proposed disassemble option format is "cpu=<CPU>", where CPU can be any valid
ARC CPU name as supported by GAS. Note that this creates a seeming redundancy
with objdump -m/--architecture option, however -mEM and -mHS still result in
"ARCv2" architecture internally, while -Mcpu={HS,EM} would have an actual
effect on disassembler.

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*"

'.text*'.

AMD64 spec and Intel64 spec differ in direct unconditional branches in
64-bit mode. AMD64 supports direct unconditional branches with 16-bit
offset via the data size prefix, which truncates RIP to 16 bits, while
the data size prefix is ignored by Intel64.
This patch adds -mamd64/-mintel64 option to x86-64 assembler and
-Mamd64/-Mintel64 option to x86-64 disassembler. The most permissive
ISA, which is AMD64, is the default.

This patch adds --compress-debug-sections={none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi}
options to gas and objcopy for ELF files. They control how DWARF debug
sections are compressed. --compress-debug-sections=none is equivalent to
--nocompress-debug-sections. --compress-debug-sections=zlib and
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu are equivalent to
--compress-debug-sections. --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi compresses
DWARF debug sections with SHF_COMPRESSED from the ELF ABI. No linker
changes are required to support SHF_COMPRESSED.
