This patch adds readelf support for decoding the exception
table opcode "0xb5", which indicates to use effective vsp
as modifier for PAC validation as defined by EHABI
(https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/releases/download/2022Q3/ehabi32.pdf
Section 10.3).

* readelf.c (decode_arm_unwind_bytecode): Add entry to decode opcode 0xb5.
This patch support ZTSO extension. It will turn on the tso flag for elf_flags
once we have enabled Ztso extension. This is intended to implement v0.1 of
the proposed specification which can be found in Chapter 25 of,
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-manual/releases/download/draft-20220723-10eea63/riscv-spec.pdf.

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
conveyed up the call chain.
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.

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

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

encode their flags the same way as HSA v3. For example, for PAL:

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-August/129931.html
For binutils part, we need to support a new direcitve: .variant_cc.
The function symbol marked by .variant_cc means it need to be resolved
directly without resolver for dynamic linker. We also add a new dynamic
entry, STO_RISCV_VARIANT_CC, to indicate there are symbols with the
special attribute in the dynamic symbol table of the object.
I heard that llvm already have supported this in their mainline, so
I think it's time to commit this.

Section 10.3).

This option has been present since the very early days of the
development of libctf as part of binutils, and it shows. Back in the
earliest days, I thought we might handle ambiguous types by introducing
new ELF sections on the fly named things like .ctf.foo.c for ambiguous
types found only in foo.c, etc. This turned out to be a terrible idea,
so we moved to using a CTF archive in the .ctf section which contained
all the CTF dictionaries -- but the --ctf-parent option in objdump and
readelf was never adjusted, and lingered as a mechanism to specify CTF
parent dictionaries in sections other than .ctf, even though the linker
has no way to produce parent dictionaries in different sections from
their children, libctf's ctf_open can't handle such split-up
parent/child dicts, and they are never found in the wild, emitted by GNU
ld or by any known third-party linking tool.
Meanwhile, the actually-useful ctf_link feature (albeit not used by ld)
which lets you remap the names of CTF archive members (so you can end up
with a parent archive member named something other than ".ctf", still
contained with all its children in a single .ctf section) had no support
in objdump or readelf: there was no way to tell them that these members
were parents, so all the types in the associated child dicts always
appeared corrupted, referencing nonexistent types from a parent objdump
couldn't find.
So adjust --ctf-parent so that rather than taking a section name it
takes a member name instead (if not specified, the name is ".ctf", which
is what GNU ld emits). Because the option was always useless before
now, this is expected to have no backward-compatibility implications.
As part of this, we have to slightly adjust the code which skips the
archive member name if redundant: right now it skips it if it's ".ctf",
on the assumption that this name will almost always be at the start
of the objdump output and thus we'll end up with a shared dump
and then smaller, headed dumps for the per-TU child dicts; but if
the parent name has been changed, that won't be true any more.
So change the rules to "members named .ctf which appear first in the
first have their member name skipped". Since we now need to count
members, move from ctf_archive_iter (for which passing in extra
parameters requires defining a new struct and is clumsy) to
ctf_archive_next, allowing us to just *call* dump_ctf_archive_member and
maintain a member count in the obvious way. In the process we fix a
tiny difference between readelf and objdump: if a ctf_dump ever failed,
readelf skipped every later member, while objdump tried to keep going as
much as it could. For a dumping tool the former is clearly preferable.

ctf_dict_open instead. Use ctf_archive_next, not ctf_archive_iter,
so we can pass down a member count.
(dump_ctf_archive_member): Add the member count; don't return
anything. Import parents into children no matter what the
parent's name, while still avoiding displaying the header for the
common parent name of ".ctf".
* readelf.c (usage): Adjust similarly.
(dump_section_as_ctf): Likewise.
(dump_ctf_archive_member): Likewise. Never stop iterating over
archive members, even if ctf_dump of one member fails.
* doc/ctf.options.texi: Adjust.
Mainline gcc:
readelf.c: In function 'find_section':
readelf.c:349:8: error: the comparison will always evaluate as 'true' for the pointer operand in 'filedata->section_headers + (sizetype)((long unsigned int)i * 80)' must not be NULL [-Werror=address]
349 | ((X) != NULL \
| ^~
readelf.c:761:9: note: in expansion of macro 'SECTION_NAME_VALID'
761 | if (SECTION_NAME_VALID (filedata->section_headers + i)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This will likely be fixed in gcc, but inline functions are nicer than
macros.
* readelf.c (SECTION_NAME, SECTION_NAME_VALID),
(SECTION_NAME_PRINT, VALID_SYMBOL_NAME, VALID_DYNAMIC_NAME),
(GET_DYNAMIC_NAME): Delete. Replace with..
(section_name, section_name_valid, section_name_print),
(valid_symbol_name, valid_dynamic_name, get_dynamic_name): ..these
new inline functions. Update use throughout file.
