Adds support for including RISC-V control and status registers into
core files.
The value for the define NT_RISCV_CSR is set to 0x900, this
corresponds to a patch I have proposed for the Linux kernel here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-riscv/2020-December/003910.html
As I have not yet heard if the above patch will be accepted into the
kernel or not I have set the note name string to "GDB", and the note
type to NT_RISCV_CSR.
This means that if the above patch is rejected from the kernel, and
the note type number 0x900 is assigned to some other note type, we
will still be able to distinguish between the GDB produced
NT_RISCV_CSR, and the kernel produced notes, where the name would be
set to "CORE".

This commit lays the ground work for allowing GDB to write its target
description into a generated core file.
The goal of this work is to allow a user to connect to a remote
target, capture a core file from within GDB, then pass the executable
and core file to another user and have the user be able to examine the
state of the machine without needing to connect to a running target.
Different remote targets can have different register sets and this
information is communicated from the target to GDB in the target
description.
It is possible for a user to extract the target description from GDB
and pass this along with the core file so that when the core file is
used the target description can be fed back into GDB, however this is
not a great user experience.
It would be nicer, I think, if GDB could write the target description
directly into the core file, and then make use of this description
when loading a core file.
This commit performs the binutils/bfd side of this task, adding the
boiler plate functions to access the target description from within a
core file note, and reserving a new number for a note containing the
target description. Later commits will extend GDB to make use of
this.
The new note is given the name 'GDB' and a type NT_GDB_TDESC. This
should hopefully protect us if there's ever a reuse of the number
assigned to NT_GDB_TDESC by some other core file producer. It should
also, hopefully, make it clearer to users that this note carries GDB
specific information.

Now we have a way to tell libctf what the endianness of the symtab is,
get readelf to use it. (objdump doesn't need to do so, nor does ld,
because they both use BFD-aware mechanisms to open CTF dicts, so libctf
can automatically figure the symtab endianness out.)

This is embarrassing.
The whole point of CTF is that it remains intact even after a binary is
stripped, providing a compact mapping from symbols to types for
everything in the externally-visible interface of an ELF object: it has
connections to the symbol table for that purpose, and to the string
table to avoid duplicating symbol names. So it's a shame that the hooks
I implemented last year served to hook it up to the .symtab and .strtab,
which obviously disappear on strip, leaving any accompanying the CTF
dict containing references to strings (and, soon, symbols) which don't
exist any more because their containing strtab has been vaporized. The
original Solaris design used .dynsym and .dynstr (well, actually,
.ldynsym, which has more symbols) which do not disappear. So should we.
Thankfully the work we did before serves as guide rails, and adjusting
things to use the .dynstr and .dynsym was fast and easy. The only
annoyance is that the dynsym is assembled inside elflink.c in a fairly
piecemeal fashion, so that the easiest way to get the symbols out was to
hook in before every call to swap_symbol_out (we also leave in a hook in
front of symbol additions to the .symtab because it seems plausible that
we might want to hook them in future too: for now that hook is unused).
We adjust things so that rather than being offered a whole hash table of
symbols at once, libctf is now given symbols one at a time, with st_name
indexes already resolved and pointing at their final .dynstr offsets:
it's now up to libctf to resolve these to names as needed using the
strtab info we pass it separately.
Some bits might be contentious. The ctf_new_dynstr callback takes an
elf_internal_sym, and this remains an elf_internal_sym right down
through the generic emulation layers into ldelfgen. This is no worse
than the elf_sym_strtab we used to pass down, but in the future when we
gain non-ELF CTF symtab support we might want to lower the
elf_internal_sym to some other representation (perhaps a
ctf_link_symbol) in bfd or in ldlang_ctf_new_dynsym. We rename the
'apply_strsym' hooks to 'acquire_strings' instead, becuse they no longer
have anything to do with symbols.
There are some API changes to pieces of API which are technically public
but actually totally unused by anything and/or unused by anything but ld
so they can change freely: the ctf_link_symbol gains new fields to allow
symbol names to be given as strtab offsets as well as strings, and a
symidx so that the symbol index can be passed in. ctf_link_shuffle_syms
loses its callback parameter: the idea now is that linkers call the new
ctf_link_add_linker_symbol for every symbol in .dynsym, feed in all the
strtab entries with ctf_link_add_strtab, and then a call to
ctf_link_shuffle_syms will apply both and arrange to use them to reorder
the CTF symtab at CTF serialization time (which is coming in the next
commit).
Inside libctf we have a new preamble flag CTF_F_DYNSTR which is always
set in v3-format CTF dicts from this commit forwards: CTF dicts without
this flag are associated with .strtab like they used to be, so that old
dicts' external strings don't turn to garbage when loaded by new libctf.
Dicts with this flag are associated with .dynstr and .dynsym instead.
(The flag is not the next in sequence because this commit was written
quite late: the missing flags will be filled in by the next commit.)
Tests forthcoming in a later commit in this series.

The functions that return ctf_dict_t's given a ctf_archive_t and a name
are very clumsily named. It sounds like they return *archives*, not
dictionaries, and the names are very long and clunky. Why do we
have a ctf_arc_open_by_name when it opens a dictionary, not an archive,
and when there is no way to open a dictionary in any other way? The
answer is purely internal: the function is located in ctf-archive.c,
and everything in there was called ctf_arc_*, and there is another
way to open a dict (by offset in the archive), that is internal to
ctf-archive.c and that nothing else can call.
This is clearly bad naming. The internal organization of the source tree
should not dictate public API names!
So rename things (keeping the old, bad names for compatibility), and
adjust all users. You now open a dict using ctf_dict_open, and
open it giving ELF sections via ctf_dict_open_sections.

The naming of the ctf_file_t type in libctf is a historical curiosity.
Back in the Solaris days, CTF dictionaries were originally generated as
a separate file and then (sometimes) merged into objects: hence the
datatype was named ctf_file_t, and known as a "CTF file". Nowadays, raw
CTF is essentially never written to a file on its own, and the datatype
changed name to a "CTF dictionary" years ago. So the term "CTF file"
refers to something that is never a file! This is at best confusing.
The type has also historically been known as a 'CTF container", which is
even more confusing now that we have CTF archives which are *also* a
sort of container (they contain CTF dictionaries), but which are never
referred to as containers in the source code.
So fix this by completing the renaming, renaming ctf_file_t to
ctf_dict_t throughout, and renaming those few functions that refer to
CTF files by name (keeping compatibility aliases) to refer to dicts
instead. Old users who still refer to ctf_file_t will see (harmless)
pointer-compatibility warnings at compile time, but the ABI is unchanged
(since C doesn't mangle names, and ctf_file_t was always an opaque type)
and things will still compile fine as long as -Werror is not specified.
All references to CTF containers and CTF files in the source code are
fixed to refer to CTF dicts instead.
Further (smaller) renamings of annoyingly-named functions to come, as
part of the process of souping up queries across whole archives at once
(needed for the function info and data object sections).

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/.

Link-time relaxations of branches are common for MSP430, given that GCC
can generate pessimal branch instructions, and the
-mcode-region=either/-mdata-region=either options to shuffle sections
can further change the type of branch instruction required.
These relaxations can result in invalid code when .uleb128
directives, used in the .gcc_except_table section, are used to calculate
the distance between two labels. A value for the .uleb128 directive is
calculated at assembly-time, and can't be updated at link-time, even if
relaxation causes the distance between the labels to change.
This patch adds relocations for subtract expressions in .uleb128
directives, to allow the linker to re-calculate the value of these
expressions after relaxation has been performed.

This commit follows on from the earlier commit "libctf, ld, binutils:
add textual error/warning reporting for libctf" and converts every error
in libctf that was reported using ctf_dprintf to use ctf_err_warn
instead, gettextizing them in the process, using N_() where necessary to
avoid doing gettext calls unless an error message is actually generated,
and rephrasing some error messages for ease of translation.
This requires a slight change in the ctf_errwarning_next API: this API
is public but has not been in a release yet, so can still change freely.
The problem is that many errors are emitted at open time (whether
opening of a CTF dict, or opening of a CTF archive): the former of these
throws away its incompletely-initialized ctf_file_t rather than return
it, and the latter has no ctf_file_t at all. So errors and warnings
emitted at open time cannot be stored in the ctf_file_t, and have to go
elsewhere.
We put them in a static local in ctf-subr.c (which is not very
thread-safe: a later commit will improve things here): ctf_err_warn with
a NULL fp adds to this list, and the public interface
ctf_errwarning_next with a NULL fp retrieves from it.
We need a slight exception from the usual iterator rules in this case:
with a NULL fp, there is nowhere to store the ECTF_NEXT_END "error"
which signifies the end of iteration, so we add a new err parameter to
ctf_errwarning_next which is used to report such iteration-related
errors. (If an fp is provided -- i.e., if not reporting open errors --
this is optional, but even if it's optional it's still an API change.
This is actually useful from a usability POV as well, since
ctf_errwarning_next is usually called when there's been an error, so
overwriting the error code with ECTF_NEXT_END is not very helpful!
So, unusually, ctf_errwarning_next now uses the passed fp for its
error code *only* if no errp pointer is passed in, and leaves it
untouched otherwise.)
ld, objdump and readelf are adapted to call ctf_errwarning_next with a
NULL fp to report open errors where appropriate.
The ctf_err_warn API also has to change, gaining a new error-number
parameter which is used to add the error message corresponding to that
error number into the debug stream when LIBCTF_DEBUG is enabled:
changing this API is easy at this point since we are already touching
all existing calls to gettextize them. We need this because the debug
stream should contain the errno's message, but the error reported in the
error/warning stream should *not*, because the caller will probably
report it themselves at failure time regardless, and reporting it in
every error message that leads up to it leads to a ridiculous chattering
on failure, which is likely to end up as ridiculous chattering on stderr
(trimmed a bit):
CTF error: `ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c (0): lookup failure for type 3: flags 1: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable'
CTF error: `ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c (0): struct/union member type hashing error during type hashing for type 80000001, kind 6: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable'
CTF error: `deduplicating link variable emission failed for ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable'
ld/.libs/lt-ld-new: warning: CTF linking failed; output will have no CTF section: `The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable'
We only need to be told that the parent CTF dictionary is unavailable
*once*, not over and over again!
errmsgs are still emitted on warning generation, because warnings do not
usually lead to a failure propagated up to the caller and reported
there.
Debug-stream messages are not translated. If translation is turned on,
there will be a mixture of English and translated messages in the debug
stream, but rather that than burden the translators with debug-only
output.

This commit adds a long-missing piece of infrastructure to libctf: the
ability to report errors and warnings using all the power of printf,
rather than being restricted to one errno value. Internally, libctf
calls ctf_err_warn() to add errors and warnings to a list: a new
iterator ctf_errwarning_next() then consumes this list one by one and
hands it to the caller, which can free it. New errors and warnings are
added until the list is consumed by the caller or the ctf_file_t is
closed, so you can dump them at intervals. The caller can of course
choose to print only those warnings it wants. (I am not sure whether we
want objdump, readelf or ld to print warnings or not: right now I'm
printing them, but maybe we only want to print errors? This entirely
depends on whether warnings are voluminous things describing e.g. the
inability to emit single types because of name clashes or something.
There are no users of this infrastructure yet, so it's hard to say.)
There is no internationalization here yet, but this at least adds a
place where internationalization can be added, to one of
ctf_errwarning_next or ctf_err_warn.
We also provide a new ctf_assert() function which uses this
infrastructure to provide non-fatal assertion failures while emitting an
assert-like string to the caller: to save space and avoid needlessly
duplicating unchanging strings, the assertion test is inlined but the
print-things-out failure case is not. All assertions in libctf will be
converted to use this machinery in future commits and propagate
assertion-failure errors up, so that the linker in particular cannot be
killed by libctf assertion failures when it could perfectly well just
print warnings and drop the CTF section.

This one isn't just a weird corner case requiring multiple

* readelf (slurp_hppa_unwind_table): Set table_len before use

objdump and readelf have one major CTF-related behavioural difference:
objdump can read .ctf sections that contain CTF archives and extract and
dump their members, while readelf cannot. Since the linker often emits
CTF archives, this means that readelf intermittently and (from the
user's perspective) randomly fails to read CTF in files that ld emits,
with a confusing error message wrongly claiming that the CTF content is
corrupt. This is purely because the archive-opening code in libctf was
needlessly tangled up with the BFD code, so readelf couldn't use it.
Here, we disentangle it, moving ctf_new_archive_internal from
ctf-open-bfd.c into ctf-archive.c and merging it with the helper
function in ctf-archive.c it was already using. We add a new public API
function ctf_arc_bufopen, that looks very like ctf_bufopen but returns
an archive given suitable section data rather than a ctf_file_t: the
archive is a ctf_archive_t, so it can be called on raw CTF dictionaries
(with no archive present) and will return a single-member synthetic
"archive".
There is a tiny lifetime tweak here: before now, the archive code could
assume that the symbol section in the ctf_archive_internal wrapper
structure was always owned by BFD if it was present and should always be
freed: now, the caller can pass one in via ctf_arc_bufopen, wihch has
the usual lifetime rules for such sections (caller frees): so we add an
extra field to track whether this is an internal call from ctf-open-bfd,
in which case we still free the symbol section.

ifdefs where it seems that might be helpful. (The stubs are not too
disruptive, but I've tried to keep them on one line where possible to
avoid filling up the screen with stubs that nobody would care about.
If this is too much of a coding style violation I can change it.)
Changes since v2: use GCC_ENABLE rather than repeating all the
AC_ARG_ENABLE stuff over and over again.

This patch adds GNU attribute support to m68k and utilises it to tag the
floating-point calling convention used (hard-float or soft-float). It enables
the linker to ensure linked objects use a consistent floating-point ABI and
allows tools like GDB to infer the ABI used from the ELF file. It is based on
similar work done for PowerPC.
