H.J. Lu 584b30e4b3 elf: Add _bfd_elf_m[un]map_section_contents
Add _bfd_elf_mmap_section_contents and _bfd_elf_munmap_section_contents.
A backend must opt-in to use mmap.  It should replace

bfd_malloc_and_get_section -> _bfd_elf_mmap_section_contents
free			   -> _bfd_elf_munmap_section_contents

on section contents.

	* compress.c (bfd_get_full_section_contents): Don't allocate
	buffer if mmapped_p is true.
	* elf-bfd.h (elf_backend_data): Add use_mmap.
	(bfd_elf_section_data): Add contents_addr and contents_size.
	(_bfd_elf_mmap_section_contents): New.
	(_bfd_elf_munmap_section_contents): Likewise.
	* elf-eh-frame.c (_bfd_elf_parse_eh_frame): Replace
	bfd_malloc_and_get_section and free with
	_bfd_elf_mmap_section_contents and _bfd_elf_munmap_section_contents
	on section contents.
	* elf-sframe.c (_bfd_elf_parse_sframe): Likewise.
	* elf.c (_bfd_elf_make_section_from_shdr): Replace
	bfd_malloc_and_get_section and free with
	_bfd_elf_mmap_section_contents and _bfd_elf_munmap_section_contents
	on section contents.
	(_bfd_elf_print_private_bfd_data): Likewise.
	(_bfd_elf_mmap_section_contents): New.
	(_bfd_elf_munmap_section_contents): Likewise.
	* elf32-i386.c (elf_i386_scan_relocs): Replace
	bfd_malloc_and_get_section and free with
	_bfd_elf_mmap_section_contents and _bfd_elf_munmap_section_contents
	on section contents.
	* elf64-x86-64.c (elf_x86_64_scan_relocs): Likewise.
	(elf_x86_64_get_synthetic_symtab): Likewise.
	* elfcode.h (elf_checksum_contents): Likewise.
	* elflink.c (elf_link_add_object_symbols): Likewise.
	(bfd_elf_get_bfd_needed_list): Likewise.
	* elfxx-target.h (elf_backend_use_mmap): New.
	(elfNN_bed): Add elf_backend_use_mmap.
	* elfxx-x86.c (elf_x86_size_or_finish_relative_reloc): Replace
	bfd_malloc_and_get_section and free with
	_bfd_elf_mmap_section_contents and _bfd_elf_munmap_section_contents
	on section contents.
	(_bfd_x86_elf_get_synthetic_symtab): Replace free with
	_bfd_elf_munmap_section_contents.
	* elfxx-x86.h (elf_backend_use_mmap): New.
	* libbfd.c: Include "elf-bfd.h".
	(_bfd_generic_get_section_contents): Call bfd_mmap_local for
	mmapped_p.
	* opncls.c (_bfd_delete_bfd): Also munmap ELF section contents.
	* section.c (asection): Add mmapped_p.
	(BFD_FAKE_SECTION): Updated.
	(bfd_malloc_and_get_section): Add a sanity check for not
	mmapped_p.
	* bfd-in2.h: Regenerated.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
