b0653e3db9 gas: add --enable-default-sframe configure option
SFrames make the most sense when userland as a whole is built with them,
so add a --enable-default-sframe configure flag to facilitate distributors
and vendors doing that.

The primary motivation for a configure-time flag is that we don't support
SFrame for 32-bit x86 but some packaging uses the same flags (with some
added on top) for multilib builds (to support old binaries like games),
and simply adding `-Wa,--gsframe` to the standard build flags isn't an
option (*).

That aside, I believe it'll be helpful for testing and eventual adoption
in any case.

In summary, combined with the recent --gsframe=[yes|no] support (**):
* Configured with --enable-default-sframe and nothing is passed
  => SFrames (previously no SFrames)
* Configured with --enable-default-sframe and --gsframe=yes is passed
  => SFrames (no change from before)
* Configured with --enable-default-sframe and --gsframe=no is passed
  => No SFrames (no change from before)
* Configured with --enable-default-sframe and --gsframe is passed
  => SFrames (no change from before)

* Configured with --disable-default-sframe and nothing is passed
  => No SFrames (no change from before)
* Configured with --disable-default-sframe and --gsframe=yes is passed
  => SFrames (no change from before)
* Configured with --disable-default-sframe and --gsframe=no is passed
  => No SFrames (no change from before)
* Configured with --disable-default-sframe and --gsframe is passed
  => SFrames (no change from before)

I've introduced a sframe_as_bad macro on Indu's suggestion. A following
patch uses its sibling sframe_as_warn heavily and having symmetry plus
the macro as a form of documentation of intent seems useful.

(*) It gets added to multilib builds too and then we hit the
    `.sframe not supported for target` error in gas/dw2gencfi.c.

(**) I've verbosely listed --gsframe=yes but it's the same as --gsframe.

095319fe53 gas: sframe: command line option takes precedence
over gas directive to emit .sframe section.

Fix PR gas/33175 sframe: --gsframe=no does not disable when
.cfi_sections directive with .sframe

--gsframe=no should also disable generation of SFrame section when
explicit CFI directive:
  .cfi_sections .sframe
is specified in the input.  This means we need to track whether SFrame
generation was explicitly disabled by the user.  Introduce a new enum to
facilitate disambiguation between GEN_SFRAME_DEFAULT_NONE and
GEN_SFRAME_DISABLED.

While fixing the bug by adding the enum, keep the upcoming requirement
in mind: we will also need to disambiguate between
--enable-default-sframe and user-specified --gsframe/--gsframe=yes.  The
intent is to not display SFrame related warnings or errors like:

  as_bad (_(".sframe not supported for target"));

for unsupported targets if --enable-default-sframe is in effect.

This implies we need to have a four state enum (
GEN_SFRAME_DEFAULT_NONE, GEN_SFRAME_CONFIG_ENABLED,
GEN_SFRAME_DISABLED, GEN_SFRAME_ENABLED)

1a12e548ba gas NULL casts
This removes many unnecessary NULL casts.  I'm also adding a few arg
casts in concat calls, to make the code consistent.  Advice from quite
a few years ago was that it's better to use the exact type for args
corresponding to function ellipses, in case NULL is defined as plain
0.  (I think that happened with some early 64-bit systems.  Plain NULL
ought to be OK nowadays.)

7b40f4c658 gas: add a means to programmatically determine the assembler version
It has been more than once that I would have wanted to have a way to
know the gas version in assembly sources, perhaps for use with .if. Add
such a pre-defined symbol, introducing the common pattern GAS(<symbol>)
for any such symbols. The use of parentheses is to keep the risk of
collisions with users' symbols as low as possible. (Possible future
arch-specific symbols may want to use GAS(<arch>:<symbol>).)

Similarly permit determining whether the assembler is a released
version. The exact value probably isn't of much use, it's more the
defined-ness that one might care about. Yet the symbol needs to have
some value anyway.

While by default pre-defined symbols won't be emitted to the symbol
table, introduce -emit-local-absolute to allow requesting this. Re-
purpose flag_strip_local_absolute to become tristate, with a negative
value indicating to also emit pre-defined symbols.

2df22dd31d gas: make NO_LISTING work again
Presumably since no target enables this and there's also no configure
control, builds with NO_LISTING defined didn't really work anymore.
Convert fallback functions to macros and add #ifndef in a few places.
(Behavior is different for affected command line options vs directives:
The former are rejected as unrecognized, while the latter are silently
ignored. I think that's fair enough.)

63e8e1a167 gas: add new command line options to control diagnostic informational messages
gas currently emits informational messages for context information along warnings.
In the context of system register tests in AArch64 backend, these messages
pollute the tests when checking for error message patterns in stderr output.

This patch aims at providing two new flags while preserving the existing
behavior if none of the options is provided.
  * --info, similar to the existing --warn flag to enable diagnostic
    informational messages (default behavior).
  * --no-info, similar to the existing --no-warn flag to disable diagnostic
    informational messages.

It also adds the flags to the existing documentation, and command manual.

35701ef3ea Move modification of bfd abs and und back to gas
In commit f592407e4d I deleted gas' obj_sec_set_private_data, and
instead put the gas modification of bfd's *ABS* and *UND* sections in
bfd_make_section_old_way.  More recently in commit 8b5a212495 I made
tekhex symbol creation use bfd_make_section_old_way for symbol
sections.  After that we saw numerous non-repeatable oss-fuzz reports
of accesses to freed memory involving relocation symbols.  I think
what is happening is:

A tekhex testcase with an absolute symbol is run through the tool,
modifying bfd_abs_section.symbol to point to a symbol on the bfd's
objalloc memory.  On closing that bfd bfd_abs_section.symbol points to
freed memory.

A second testcase is run through the tool with some access to the
*ABS* symbol.  This triggers the invalid memory access.

The same thing could happen if a user runs objdump or nm with two
files on the command line, the first being a tekhex file with absolute
symbols, or if ld is given tekhex input among other files.  Clearly,
it's a bad idea to modify the *ABS* or *UND* sections for input files.

c41215350b gas: put emul decls in emul.h
The individual struct emulation instances shouldn't be declared in a .c
file; it and the producers of the symbols want to both see the
declarations, so declarations and definitions don't go out of sync. Move
these declarations to emul.h.

While there also adjust the conditional around this_format: That symbol
is never #define-d anywhere, and it's needed only when USE_EMULATIONS is
defined. (Really, when obj-multi isn't in use, it also is effectively
only ever written to.)

c7defc5386 gas: x86: synthesize CFI for hand-written asm
This patch adds support in GAS to create generic GAS instructions
(a.k.a., the ginsn) for the x86 backend (AMD64 ABI only at this time).
Using this ginsn infrastructure, GAS can then synthesize CFI for
hand-written asm for x86_64.

A ginsn is a target-independent representation of the machine
instructions.  One machine instruction may need one or more ginsn.

This patch also adds skeleton support for printing ginsn in the listing
output for debugging purposes.

Since the current use-case of ginsn is to synthesize CFI, the x86 target
needs to generate ginsns necessary for the following machine
instructions only:

 - All change of flow instructions, including all conditional and
   unconditional branches, call and return from functions.
 - All register saves and unsaves to the stack.
 - All instructions affecting the two registers that could potentially
   be used as the base register for CFA tracking.  For SCFI, the base
   register for CFA tracking is limited to REG_SP and REG_FP only for
   now.

The representation of ginsn is kept simple:

- GAS instruction has GINSN_NUM_SRC_OPNDS (defined to be 2 at this time)
  number of source operands and one destination operand at this time.
- GAS instruction uses DWARF register numbers in its representation and
  does not track register size.
- GAS instructions carry location information (file name and line
  number).
- GAS instructions are ID's with a natural number in order of their
  addtion to the list.  This can be used as a proxy for the static
  program order of the corresponding machine instructions.

Note that, GAS instruction (ginsn) format does not support
GINSN_TYPE_PUSH and GINSN_TYPE_POP.  Some architectures, like aarch64,
do not have push and pop instructions, but rather STP/LDP/STR/LDR etc.
instructions.  Further these instructions have a variety of addressing
modes, like offset, pre-indexing and post-indexing etc.  Among other
things, one of differences in these addressing modes is _when_ the addr
register is updated with the result of the address calculation: before
or after the memory operation.  To best support such needs, the generic
instructions like GINSN_TYPE_LOAD, GINSN_TYPE_STORE together with
GINSN_TYPE_ADD, and GINSN_TYPE_SUB may be used.

The functionality provided in ginsn.c and scfi.c is compiled in when a
target defines TARGET_USE_SCFI and TARGET_USE_GINSN.  This can be
revisited later when there are other use-cases of creating ginsn's in
GAS, apart from the current use-case of synthesizing CFI for
hand-written asm.

Support is added only for System V AMD64 ABI for ELF at this time.  If
the user enables SCFI with --32, GAS issues an error:

  "Fatal error: SCFI is not supported for this ABI"

For synthesizing (DWARF) CFI, the SCFI machinery requires the programmer
to adhere to some pre-requisites for their asm:
   - Hand-written asm block must begin with a .type   foo, @function
It is highly recommended to, additionally, also ensure that:
   - Hand-written asm block ends with a .size foo, .-foo

The SCFI machinery encodes some rules which align with the standard
calling convention specified by the ABI.  Apart from the rules, the SCFI
machinery employs some heuristics.  For example:
   - The base register for CFA tracking may be either REG_SP or REG_FP.
   - If the base register for CFA tracking is REG_SP, the precise amount of
     stack usage (and hence, the value of REG_SP) must be known at all times.
   - If using dynamic stack allocation, the function must switch to
     FP-based CFA.  This means using instructions like the following (in
     AMD64) in prologue:
        pushq   %rbp
        movq    %rsp, %rbp
     and analogous instructions in epilogue.
   - Save and Restore of callee-saved registers must be symmetrical.
     However, the SCFI machinery at this time only warns if any such
     asymmetry is seen.

These heuristics/rules are architecture-independent and are meant to
employed for all architectures/ABIs using SCFI in the future.

ad9bd833d4 gas: add new command line option --scfi=experimental
When the command line option --scfi=experimenta is passed to the GNU
assembler, it will synthesize DWARF call frame information (CFI) for the
input assembly.

The option --scfi=experimental will also ignore most of the existing
.cfi_* directives, if already contained in the provided input file.
Only the following CFI directives will not be ignored:
  - .cfi_sections,
  - .cfi_label,
  - .cfi_signal_frame

To use SCFI, a target will need to:
    - define TARGET_USE_SCFI and TARGET_USE_GINSN, and other necessary
    definitions,
    - provide means to help GAS understand the target specific instruction
    semantics by creating ginsns.

The upcoming support for SCFI is inteded to be experimental, hence the
option --scfi=experimental.  The --scfi= may see more options like
--scfi=[all,none] added in future, once the SCFI support in GAS is
mature and robust.  The offering may also see for example, an
--scfi=inline option for dealing with inline asm may be added in the
future.  In --scfi=inline option, the GNU assembler may consume (and not
ignore) the compiler generated CFI for the code surrounding the inline
asm.

Also document the option.

While commit b0c295e1b8 ("add --enable-default-compressed-debug-
sections-algorithm configure option") adjusted flag_compress_debug's
initializer, it didn't alter the default used when the command line
option was specified with an (optional!) argument. This rendered help
text inconsistent with actual behavior in certain configurations.

As to help text - the default reported there clearly shouldn't be
affected by a possible earlier --compress-debug-sections= option, so
flag_compress_debug can't be used when emitting usage information.

I don't see much point in cluttering the source with the PROGRESS
macros, which of course do nothing at all with the definitions in

	file and arrange for dump_statistics to be called here rather
	than in main.  Create .gasversion. local symbol earlier,
	because we can.

2cac01e3ff binutils, gdb: support zstd compressed debug sections
PR29397 PR29563: Add new configure option --with-zstd which defaults to
auto.  If pkgconfig/libzstd.pc is found, define HAVE_ZSTD and support
zstd compressed debug sections for most tools.

* bfd: for addr2line, objdump --dwarf, gdb, etc
* gas: support --compress-debug-sections=zstd
* ld: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input and --compress-debug-sections=zstd
* objcopy: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input for
  --decompress-debug-sections and --compress-debug-sections=zstd
* gdb: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input.  The bfd change references zstd
  symbols, so gdb has to link against -lzstd in this patch.

If zstd is not supported, ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input triggers an error.  We
can avoid HAVE_ZSTD if binutils-gdb imports zstd/ like zlib/, but this
is too heavyweight, so don't do it for now.

```

ed2917de68 gas: rename md_end to md_finish
Currently md_end is typically used for some final actions rather than
freeing memory like other *_end functions.  Rename it to md_finish,
and rename target implementation.  The renaming of target functions
makes it possible to find them all with "grep md_finish",
eg. md_mips_end is renamed to mips_md_finish, not md_mips_finish.
This patch leaves a number of md_end functions unchanged, those that
either do nothing or deallocate memory, and calls them late.

The idea here is that target maintainers implement md_end functions to
tidy memory, if anyone cares.  Freeing persistent memory in gas is
not at all important, except that it can hide more important memory
leaks, those that happen once per some frequent gas operation, amongst
these unimportant memory leaks.
