This replaces sprintf and strcat calls with stpcpy, and makes use of
sprintf return value rather than using strlen, for get_machine_flags.
decode_NDS32_machine_flags made use of snprintf, which is arguably the
"correct" way to do things if there can be a buffer overflow. In this
case I don't think there can be, the buffer is 1k in size which is at
least 5 times more than needed. What's more, snprintf returns the
count of chars that would be output given no buffer limit, which means
code like
r += snprintf (buf + r, size - r, ...);
r += snprintf (buf + r, size - r, ...);
is just wrong. There needs to be a check on the return value in order
to prevent buf + r being out of bounds for the second snprintf call.
BTW, if you look closely you'll see the return value of the decode
functions is unused. I admit to getting a little carried away with
writing "out = stpcpy (out, ...):" in each of the decode functions and
didn't notice that until get_machine_flags was trimmed down to a much
smaller size. When I did notice, I decided it's not such a bad thing.

This patch adds support for EF_BPF_CPUVER bits in the ELF
machine-dependent header flags. These bits encode the BPF CPU
version for which the object file has been compiled for.
The BPF assembler is updated so it annotates the object files it
generates with these bits.
The BPF disassembler is updated so it honors EF_BPF_CPUVER to use the
appropriate ISA version if the user didn't specify an explicit ISA
version in the command line. Note that a value of zero in
EF_BPF_CPUVER is interpreted by the disassembler as "use the later
supported version" (the BPF CPU versions start with v1.)
The readelf utility is updated to pretty print EF_BPF_CPUVER when it
prints out the ELF header:
$ readelf -h a.out
ELF Header:
...
Flags: 0x4, CPU Version: 4

The ARC HS5x and ARC HS6x processors are based on the new ARCv3 ISA
that implements a full range of 32-bit and 64-bit instructions. These
processors feature a high-speed 10-stage, dual-issue pipeline that
offers increased utilization of functional units with a limited
increase in power and area. The HS5x processors feature a 32-bit
pipeline that can execute all ARCv3 32-bit instructions, while the
HS6x processors feature a full 64-bit pipeline and register file that
can execute both 32-bit and 64-bit instructions. In addition, the ARC
HS6x supports 64-bit virtual and 52-bit physical address spaces to
enable direct addressing of current and future large memories, as well
as 128-bit loads and stores for efficient data movement.
This readelf patch updates/adds Synopsys ARCv3 machine name fileds and
supported relocations.

Define an enum instead of using ELFCOMPRESS_ZLIB and ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD
in bfd and binutils, and move some functions from bfd.c to compress.c.
When looking at the COFF/PE debug compression support, I wondered
about extending it to support zstd. I likely won't do that, but
the compression header ch_type field isn't just ELF specific if these
headers are to be used in COFF/PE too.

The aim here is to improve readelf handling of large 64-bit object
files on LLP64 hosts (Windows) where long is only 32 bits. The patch
changes more than just file offsets. Addresses and sizes are also
changed to avoid "long". Most places get to use uint64_t even where
size_t may be more appropriate, because that allows some overflow
checks to be implemented easily (*alloc changes).

parameter uint64_t.

* elfcomm.h (struct archive_info): Make sym_size, longnames_size,

archive_file_size, string_table_length, dynamic_addr,
dynamic_nent, dynamic_strings_length, num_dynamic_syms,
dynamic_syminfo_offset uint64_t.
(many functions): Replace uses of "unsigned long" with
"uint64_t" or "size_t".
Replace the macros with a small wrapper function that verifies the fseek
offset arg isn't overlarge.
* readelf.c (FSEEK_FUNC): Delete, replace uses with..
(fseek64): ..this new function.
(process_program_headers): Don't cast p_offset to long.
Changes readelf to make use first of fseeko64 and then fseeko,
depending on which of those is available. If neither is available,
reverts to the previous behavior of using fseek.
This is necessary when building readelf for LLP64 systems, where a
long will only be 32 bits wide. If the elf file in question is >= 2 GiB,
that is greater than the max long value and therefore fseek will fail
indicating that the offset is negative. On such systems, making use of
fseeko64 or fseeko will result in the ability so seek past the 2 GiB
max long boundary.
Note that large archive handling in readelf remains to be fixed.
This patch adds support for SFrame in readelf and objdump. The arguments
of --sframe are optional for both readelf and objdump.

* libsframe/sframe-dump.c: New file.
The linker merges all the input .sframe sections. When merging, the
linker verifies that all the input .sframe sections have the same
abi/arch.
The linker uses libsframe library to perform key actions on the
.sframe sections - decode, read, and create output data. This
implies buildsystem changes to make and install libsframe before
libbfd.
The linker places the output .sframe section in a new segment of its
own: PT_GNU_SFRAME. A new segment is not added, however, if the
generated .sframe section is empty.
When a section is discarded from the final link, the corresponding
entries in the .sframe section for those functions are also deleted.
The linker sorts the SFrame FDEs on start address by default and sets
the SFRAME_F_FDE_SORTED flag in the .sframe section.
This patch also adds support for generation of SFrame unwind
information for the .plt* sections on x86_64. SFrame unwind info is
generated for IBT enabled PLT, lazy/non-lazy PLT.
The existing linker option --no-ld-generated-unwind-info has been
adapted to include the control of whether .sframe unwind information
will be generated for the linker generated sections like PLT.
Changes to the linker script have been made as necessary.

This replaces dwarf_vma, dwarf_size_type and dwarf_signed_vma with
uint64_t and int64_t everywhere. The patch also gets rid of
DWARF_VMA_FMT since we can't use that with uint64_t, and all of the
configure support for deciding the flavour of HOST_WIDEST_INT.
dwarf_vmatoa also disappears, replacing most uses with one of
PRIx64, PRId64 or PRIu64. Printing of size_t and ptrdiff_t values
now use %z and %t rather than by casting to unsigned long. Also,
most warning messages that used 0x%lx or similar now use %#lx and a
few that didn't print the 0x hex prefix now also use %#. The patch
doesn't change normal readelf output, except in odd cases where values
previously might have been truncated.
This replaces bfd_vma with uint64_t in readelf, defines BFD64
unconditionally, removes tests of BFD64 and sizeof (bfd_vma), and
removes quite a few now unnecessary casts.
Replacing bfd_size_type with dwarf_size_type or uint64_t is mostly
cosmetic. The point of the change is to avoid use of a BFD type
in readelf, where we'd like to keep as independent of BFD as
possible. Also, the patch is a step towards using standard types.
This patch replaces all uses of elf_vma with uint64_t, removes
tests of sizeof (elf_vma), and does a little tidying of
byte_get_little_endian and byte_get_big_endian.
There is more work to be done to actually support compression and
decompression using the zstd library, but I will leave that to the
champions of the new compression option.
binutils/
* binutils/readelf.c (process_section_headers): Add support for
ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD.
BFD_VMA_FMT can't be used in format strings that need to be
translated, because the translation won't work when the type of
bfd_vma differs from the machine used to compile .pot files. We've
known about this for a long time, but patches slip through review.
So just get rid of BFD_VMA_FMT, instead using the appropriate PRId64,
PRIu64, PRIx64 or PRIo64 and SCN variants for scanf. The patch is
mostly mechanical, the only thing requiring any thought is casts
needed to preserve PRId64 output from bfd_vma values, or to preserve
one of the unsigned output formats from bfd_signed_vma values.
These two macros print either a 16 digit hex number or an 8 digit
hex number. Unfortunately they depend on both target and host, which
means that the output for 32-bit targets may be either 8 or 16 hex
digits.
Replace them in most cases with code that prints a bfd_vma using
PRIx64. In some cases, deliberately lose the leading zeros.
This change some output, notably in base/offset fields of m68k
disassembly which I think looks better that way, and in error
messages. I've kept leading zeros in symbol dumps (objdump -t)
and in PE header dumps.

The Linux kernel can dump memory tag segments to a core file, one segment
per mapped range. The format and documentation can be found in the Linux
kernel tree [1].
The following patch adjusts bfd and binutils so they can handle this new
segment type and display it accordingly. It also adds code required so GDB
can properly read/dump core file data containing memory tags.
Upon reading, each segment that contains memory tags gets mapped to a
section named "memtag". These sections will be used by GDB to lookup the tag
data. There can be multiple such sections with the same name, and they are not
numbered to simplify GDB's handling and lookup.
There is another patch for GDB that enables both reading
and dumping of memory tag segments.
Tested on aarch64-linux Ubuntu 20.04.
[1] Documentation/arm64/memory-tagging-extension.rst (Core Dump Support)
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.
Using xmalloc makes the null check redundant since failing allocation
will exit the program. Instead use malloc and let the error be

Requiring C99 means that uses of bfd_uint64_t can be replaced with
uint64_t, and similarly for bfd_int64_t, BFD_HOST_U_64_BIT, and
BFD_HOST_64_BIT. This patch does that, removes #ifdef BFD_HOST_*
and tidies a few places that print 64-bit values.

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
Owner Data size Description
AMDGPU 0x0000040d NT_AMDGPU_METADATA (code object metadata)

},
<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.
