* elflink.c (bfd_elf_final_link): Remove zero size .gnu.attributes
sections.
.gnu.attributes entries from linker input files are merged to the
output file, the output having the union of compatible input
attributes. Incompatible attributes generally cause a linker error
and no output. However in some cases only a warning is emitted, and
one of the incompatible input attributes is passed on to the output.
PowerPC tends to emit warnings rather than errors, and the output
takes the first input attribute. For example, if we have two input
files with Tag_GNU_Power_ABI_FP, the first with a value signifying
"double-precision hard float, IBM long double", the second with a
value signifying "double-precision hard float, IEEE long double",
we'll get a warning about incompatible long double types and the
output will say "double-precision hard float, IBM long double".
The output attribute of course isn't correct. It would be correct to
specify "IBM and IEEE long double", but we don't have a way to
represent that currently. While it would be possible to extend the
encoding, there isn't much gain in doing so. A shared library
providing support for both long double types should link against
objects using either long double type without warning or error. That
is what you'd get if such a shared library had no Tag_GNU_Power_ABI_FP
attribute.
So this patch provides a way for the backend to omit .gnu.attributes
tags from the output.

Bug #13157 is about a gdb regression, where previously it could handle
universal libraries, but now cannot.
gdb isn't working for me on macOS for other reasons, so I wrote this
small test program to show the problem:
#include <config.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <bfd.h>
void
die (const char *what)
{
fprintf (stderr, "die: %s\n", what);
exit (1);
}
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
bfd *file = bfd_openr (argv[1], NULL);
if (file == NULL)
die ("couldn't open");
if (!bfd_check_format (file, bfd_archive))
die ("not an archive");
printf ("yay\n");
bfd_close (file);
return 0;
}
Then I built a simple universal binary. With git master BFD, I get:
$ ./doit ./universal-exe
die: not an archive
Jeff Muizelaar tracked this down to the BFD change for PR binutils/21787.
This patch changed bfd_generic_archive_p to sometimes reset the BFD's
"format" field.
However, simply changing bfd_generic_archive_p regressed the test case
in that bug.
Debugging PR binutils/21787 again, what I saw is that the mach-o
universal binary support acts like a bfd_archive but does not provide
a _close_and_cleanup function. However, if a BFD appears as an
archive member, it must always remove its own entry from its parent's
map. Otherwise, when the parent is destroyed, the already-destroyed
child BFD will be referenced. mach-o does not use the usual archive
member support, so simply using _bfd_archive_close_and_cleanup (as
other targets do) will not work.
This patch fixes the problem by introducing a new
_bfd_unlink_from_archive_parent function, then arranging for it to be
called in the mach-o case.
Ok?

BFD's bfd_get_mach () function returns a bfd specific value representing
the architecture of the target which is populated from the Tag_CPU_arch
build attribute value of that target. Among other users of that
interfacem, objdump which uses it to print the architecture version of
the binary being examinated and to decide what instruction is available
if run with "-m arm" via its own mapping from bfd_mach_arm_X values to
feature bits available.
However, both BFD and objdump's most recent known architecture is
Armv5TE. When encountering a newer architecture bfd_get_mach will return
bfd_mach_arm_unknown. This is unfortunate since objdump uses that value
to allow all instructions on all architectures which is already what it
does by default, making the "-m arm" trick useless.
This patch updates BFD and objdump's knowledge of Arm architecture
versions up to the latest Armv8-M Baseline and Mainline, Armv8-R and
Armv8.4-A architectures. Since several architecture versions (eg. 8.X-A)
share the same Tag_CPU_arch build attribute value and
bfd_mach_arm values, the mapping from bfd machine value to feature bits
need to return the most featureful feature bits that would yield the
given bfd machine value otherwise some instruction would not disassemble
under "-m arm" mode. The patch rework that mapping to make this clearer
and simplify writing the mapping rules. In particular, for simplicity
all FPU instructions are allowed in all cases.
Finally, the patch also rewrite the cpu_arch_ver table in GAS to use the
TAG_CPU_ARCH_X macros rather than hardcode their value.

Binutils documentation uses a mix of spelling for the compound word
"command-line X". According to [1]:
"Sometimes compound words are written separately (nail polish),
sometimes with a hyphen (short-sighted) and sometimes as one word
(eyelashes). Often new compounds are written as two separate words and,
as they become more familiar, they are either connected with a hyphen
(-) or made into one word."
I think command-line X is common enough in our industry that the two
workds command and line should be connected. Since command-line is more
common than commandline, I propose to update binutils documentation to
consistently use "command-line" when this is used as an adjective to a
noun (eg. command-line argument, command-line switch, command-line
option and command-line flag). I've left occurences of "the command
line" as is. I've also left gdb, sim and readline alone and have only
touched public documentation (texi and NEWS files).

The addressable signed 32-bit range for n64 MIPS `.got.plt' references
is from 0xffffffff7fff8000 to 0x7fff7fff, due to how the composition of
an LUI and an LD instruction works for address calculation in the 64-bit
addressing mode, such as when CP0.Status.UX=1.
We currently have a range check in `mips_finish_exec_plt', however it is
not correct as it verifies that the `.got.plt' start address referred is
between 0xffffffff80000000 and 0x7fffffff. It is also implemented as an
assertion rather than a proper error message despite that the situation
can be triggered by user input. Additionally there is no check made for
individual `.got.plt' entries referred even though they can be out of
range while the `.got.plt' start address is not.
Fix all these problems and use the correct range for the check, limiting
it to n64 output files, and then issue a proper error message both in
`mips_finish_exec_plt' and in `_bfd_mips_elf_finish_dynamic_symbol',
suggesting the use of the `-Ttext-segment=...' option that will often
work and with the default linker scripts in particular. Add suitable

When trying to run the update-gnulib.sh script in gdb, I get this:
Error: Wrong automake version (Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ =:+{}]+)}/ at /opt/automake/1.11.1/bin/automake line 4113.), we need 1.11.1.
Aborting.
Apparently, it's an issue with a regex in automake that triggers a
warning starting with Perl 5.22. It has been fixed in automake 1.15.1.
So I think it's a good excuse to bump the versions of autoconf and
automake used in the gnulib import. And to avoid requiring multiple
builds of autoconf/automake, it was suggested that we bump the required
version of those tools for all binutils-gdb.
For autoconf, the 2.69 version is universally available, so it's an easy
choice. For automake, different distros and distro versions have
different automake versions. But 1.15.1 seems to be the most readily
available as a package. In any case, it's easy to build it from source.
I removed the version checks from AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS and AC_PREREQ,
because I don't think they are useful in our case. They only specify a
lower bound for the acceptable version of automake/autoconf. That's
useful if you let the user choose the version of the tool they want to
use, but want to set a minimum version (because you use a feature that
was introduced in that version). In our case, we force people to use a
specific version anyway. For the autoconf version, we have the check in
config/override.m4 that enforces the version we want. It will be one
less thing to update next time we change autotools version.
I hit a few categories of problems that required some changes. They are
described below along with the chosen solutions.
Problem 1:
configure.ac:17: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see:

Solution 3:
Remove the cygnus options.
Problem 4:
Makefile.am:656: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Solution 4:
Rename "INCLUDES = " to "AM_CPPFLAGS += " (because AM_CPPFLAGS is
already defined earlier).
Problem 5:
doc/Makefile.am:71: warning: suffix '.texinfo' for Texinfo files is discouraged; use '.texi' instead
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 5:
Rename .texinfo files to .texi.
Problem 6:
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 6:
Remove the hack at the bottom of doc/Makefile.am and use
the info-in-builddir automake option.
Problem 7:
doc/Makefile.am:35: error: required file '../texinfo.tex' not found
doc/Makefile.am:35: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'texinfo.tex'
Solution 7:
Use the no-texinfo.tex automake option. We also have one in
texinfo/texinfo.tex, not sure if we should point to that, or move it
(or a newer version of it added with automake --add-missing) to
top-level.
Problem 8:
Makefile.am:131: warning: source file 'config/tc-aarch64.c' is in a subdirectory,
Makefile.am:131: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled
automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility.
automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects'
automake: automake option hasn't been enabled. For now, the corresponding output
automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory. However,
automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will
automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory
automake: of the corresponding sources.
automake: You are advised to start using 'subdir-objects' option throughout your
automake: project, to avoid future incompatibilities.
Solution 8:
Use subdir-objects, that means adjusting references to some .o that will now
be in config/.
