Fix commit 4de91c10cd, which cached the single section header read
to pick up file header extension fields. Also, testing e_shoff in
get_section_headers opened a hole for fuzzers where we'd end up with
segfaults due to non-zero e_shnum but NULL section_headers.
* readelf.c (get_section_headers): Don't test e_shoff here, leave
that to get_32bit_section_headers or get_64bit_section_headers.
(process_object): Throw away section header read to print file
header extension.
A number of filedata entries were not cleared. Make sure they are
all cleared out, except the ones needed for archive handling.
* readelf.c (struct filedata): Move archive_file_offset and
archive_file_size earlier.
(free_filedata): Clear using memset.
This is a followup to git commit 8ff66993e0, a patch aimed at
segfaults found invoking readelf multiple times with fuzzed objects.
In that patch I added code to clear more stashed data early in
process_section_headers, along with any stashed section headers. This
patch instead relies on clearing out the stash at the end of
process_object, making sure that process_object doesn't exit early.
The patch also introduces some new wrapper functions.
* readelf.c (GET_ELF_SYMBOLS): Delete. Replace with..
(get_elf_symbols): ..this new function throughout.
(get_32bit_section_headers): Don't free section_headers.
(get_64bit_section_headers): Likewise.
(get_section_headers): New function, use throughout in place of
32bit and 64bit variants.
(get_dynamic_section): Similarly.
(process_section_headers): Don't free filedata memory here.
(get_file_header): Don't get section headers here..
(process_object): ..Read them here instead. Don't exit without
freeing filedata memory.
Splitting up help strings makes it more likely that at least some of
the help translation survives adding new options.
* readelf.c (parse_args): Call dwarf_select_sections_all on
--debug-dump without optarg.
(usage): Associate -w and --debug-dump options closely.
Split up help message. Remove extraneous blank lines around
ctf help.
* objdump.c (usage): Similarly.

Adds support for including RISC-V control and status registers into

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.

* ctf-impl.h (ctf_arc_bufpreamble): Declare it.
We were failing to report errors from ctf_archive_iter, which results in
silent early termination if (for example) one CTF archive member in a
.ctf section is corrupted and cannot be opened. Report the error in the
usual fashion instead.

* objdump.c (dump_ctf): Report errors from ctf_archive_iter.
* readelf.c (dump_section_as_ctf): Likewise.
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.
