The SHF_GNU_RETAIN section flag is an extension to the GNU ELF OSABI.
It is defined as follows:
=========================================================
Section Attribute Flags
+-------------------------------------+
| Name | Value |
+-------------------------------------+
| SHF_GNU_RETAIN | 0x200000 (1 << 21) |
+-------------------------------------+
SHF_GNU_RETAIN
The link editor should not garbage collect the section.
=========================================================
The .section directive accepts the "R" flag, which indicates
SHF_GNU_RETAIN should be applied to the section.
There is not a direct mapping of SHF_GNU_RETAIN to the BFD
section flag SEC_KEEP. Keeping these flags distinct allows
SHF_GNU_RETAIN sections to be explicitly removed by placing them in
/DISCARD/.

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF
debugging resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP. This patch
enables objdump and readelf to query debuginfod servers when they are
otherwise not able to find separate debug files. Binutils can be built
with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure option. This
requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time.
debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178. For

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 size tool currently defaults to berkeley format output. However,
this output format has a weird quirk, read-only data is counted
against the text sections, not the data sections.
The code offers no real explanation for why this is, but I'm reluctant
to change it for two reasons, first, I'm assuming it probably makes
sense in some case that I'm not thinking of (maybe a target where
sections are not marked executable, and so there's no distinction
between read-only data and code), and second, the code has been this
way for at least 20 years, I worry that changing things now might
cause more confusion than it solves.
This commit then introduces a new output format for the size tool,
this new format displays the results in a similar manor to the
berkeley format, but counts read-only data in the data column, and
only executable sections are counted in the text column.
Given that this is a brand new output format I've gone ahead and
simplified things a little, while the berkeley format displays the
total twice, once in decimal and once in hex, the new display format
just displays the total in decimal. Of course, there's still the
'--radix' option which can be used to display all the results in
hexadecimal or octal.
I've called the new format 'gnu', so '--format=gnu' or '-G' are used
to access it.

binutils* NEWS: Note that recursion limit has increased to 2048.
* doc/binutils.texi: Likewise.
This patch addresses the multitude of bug reports about resource exhaustion
in libiberty's name demangling code. It adds a limit to the amount of
recursion that is allowed, before an error is triggered. It also adds a
new demangling option to disable this limit. (The limit is enabled by
default).

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.
