The result of running etc/update-copyright.py --this-year, fixing all
the files whose mode is changed by the script, plus a build with
--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes, then checking
out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently.
The copy of cgen was with commit d1dd5fcc38ead reverted as that commit
breaks building of bfp opcodes files.

It looks like automake makes assumptions about its ability to build info
pages based on the GNU standard behavior of shipping info pages with the
distributions. So even though the info pages were conditionalized, and
automake disabled some of the targets, it was still creeping in by way
of unconditional INFO_DEPS settings.
We can workaround this by adding a stub target for the info page when
building info pages are disabled. This tricks automake into disabling
its own extended generation target. I'll follow up with the automake
folks to see what they think.

This avoids a recursive make into the doc subdir and speeds up the
build slightly. It also allows for more parallelism.

Also add $(AM_V_xxx) to various manual rules in here.

It's been a long time since most of this was written: it's long past
time to put it in the binutils source tree. It's believed correct and
complete insofar as it goes: it documents format v3 (the current
version) but not the libctf API or any earlier versions. (The
earlier versions can be read by libctf but not generated by it, and you
are highly unlikely ever to see an example of any of them.)

Checking for linker versioning by just grepping ld --help output for
mentions of --version-script is inadequate now that Solaris 11.4
implements a --version-script with different semantics. Try linking a
test program with a small wildcard-using version script with each
supported set of flags in turn, to make sure that linker versioning is
not only advertised but actually works.
The Solaris "GNU-compatible" linker versioning is not quite
GNU-compatible enough, but we can work around the differences by
generating a new version script that removes the comments from the
original (Solaris ld requires #-style comments), and making another
version script for libctf-nonbfd in particular which doesn't mention any
of the symbols that appear in libctf.la, to avoid Solaris ld introducing
corresponding new NOTYPE symbols to match the version script.

This ensures that the CTF_LIBADD, which always contains at least this
when doing a shared link:
-L`pwd`/../libiberty/pic -liberty
appears in the link line before any requirements pulled in by libbfd.la,
which include -liberty but because it is install-time do not include the
-L`pwd`/../libiberty/pic portion (in an indirect dep like this, the path
comes from the libbfd.la file, and is an install path). libiberty also
appears after libbfd in the link line by virtue of libctf-nobfd.la,
because libctf-nobfd has to follow libbfd in the link line, and that
needs symbols from libiberty too.
Without this, an installed liberty might well be pulled in by libbfd,
and if --enable-install-libiberty is not specified this libiberty might
be completely incompatible with what is being installed and break either
or boht of libbfd and libctf. (The specific problem observed here is
that bsearch_r was not present, but other problems might easily be
observed in future too.)
Because ld links against libctf, this has a tendency to break the system
linker at install time too, if installing with --prefix=/usr. That's
quite unpleasant to recover from.

The top level Makefile, the ld Makefile and others, define
CC_FOR_TARGET to be a compiler for the binutils target machine. This
is the compiler that should be used for almost all tests with C
source. There are _FOR_TARGET versions of CFLAGS, CXX, and CXXFLAGS
too. This was all supposed to work with the testsuite .exp files
using CC for the target compiler, and CC_FOR_HOST for the host
compiler, with the makefiles passing CC=$CC_FOR_TARGET and
CC_FOR_HOST=$CC to the runtest invocation.
One exception to the rule of using CC_FOR_TARGET is the native-only ld
bootstrap test, which uses the newly built ld to link a copy of
itself. Since the files being linked were created with the host
compiler, the boostrap test should use CC and CFLAGS, in case some
host compiler option provides needed libraries automatically.
However, bootstrap.exp used CC where it should have used CC_FOR_HOST.
I set about fixing that problem, then decided that playing games in
the makefiles with CC was a bad idea. Not only is it confusing, but
other dejagnu code knows about CC_FOR_TARGET. See dejagnu/target.exp.
So this patch gets rid of the makefile variable renaming and changes
all the .exp files to use the correct _FOR_TARGET variables.
CC_FOR_HOST and CFLAGS_FOR_HOST disappear. A followup patch will
correct bootstrap.exp to use CFLAGS, and a number of other things I
noticed.

The code to serialize CTF dicts just gets bigger and bigger as the
dictionary's complexity grows: adding symtypetabs almost doubled it on
its own. It's long past time to split this out into its own source
file, accompanied by the functions that do the actual writeout.
This leaves ctf-create.c populated exclusively by functions related to
actual writable dict creation (ctf_add_*, ctf_create etc), and leaves
both files a much more reasonable size.

Right now, these libraries hardwire -L../intl -lintl on a few fixed
platforms, which works fine on those platforms but on other platforms
leads to shared libraries that lack libintl_* symbols when configured
--with-included-gettext, and/or static libraries that contain libintl as
*another* static library. If we instead use the LIBINTL variable
defined in ../intl/config.intl, this gives us the right thing on all
three classes of platform (gettext in libc, gettext in system libintl,
gettext in ../intl/libintl.a).. This also means we can rip out some
Darwin-specific machinery from configure.ac and also simplify the Cygwin
side.
This also means that the libctf testsuite (and other places that include
libbfd, libopcodes or libctf) don't need to grow libintl dependencies
just on account of those libraries (though they still need such
dependencies if they themselves use gettext machinery).

This introduces a new lookup testsuite under libctf, which operates by
compiling (with libtool) a "lookup" .c file that uses libctf to analyze
some other program, then compiling some number of test object files with
CTF and optionally linking them together and running the lookup program
on the test object files (or linked test binary), before diffing the
result much as run_dump_test does.
This lets us test the portions of libctf that are not previously
testable, notably the portions that do lookup on linked output and
that create dynamic dictionaries and then do lookup on them before
writing them out, something that is not tested by the ld-ctf testsuite
because the linker never does this.
A couple of simple tests are added: one testing the functionality of
enum lookups, and one testing that the recently-added commit adding
extra paranoia to incomplete type handling doesn't break linking and
that the result of the link is an (otherwise-impossible) array of
forward type in the shared CTF dict.

This complex morass inherited from libopcodes, which endeavours to
implement the effect of specifying ../bfd/libbfd.la in _LIBADD without
actually doing so, appears to be working around a libtool bug which as
far as I can see is no longer present (i.e., the install directory no
longer appears in -L arguments in libtool link-mode invocations, so
there is no danger of picking up old libbfds or other dependent
libraries).
Replaced with a simple reference to libbfd.la in the appropriate place.
Also adjusted things a little more so that libctf.la and libctf-nobfd.la
are self-contained, even when linking statically. This opens up the
possibility of running libtool to link against libctf from inside the
(upcoming) testsuite.

This adds the core deduplicator that the ctf_link machinery calls
(possibly repeatedly) to link the CTF sections: it takes an array
of input ctf_file_t's and another array that indicates which entries in
the input array are parents of which other entries, and returns an array
of outputs. The first output is always the ctf_file_t on which
ctf_link/ctf_dedup/etc was called: the other outputs are child dicts
that have the first output as their parent.

This rather large and intertwined pile of changes does three things:
First, it transitions from dprintf to ctf_err_warn for things the user might
care about: this one file is the major impetus for the ctf_err_warn
infrastructure, because things like file names are crucial in linker
error messages, and errno values are utterly incapable of
communicating them
Second, it stabilizes the ctf_link APIs: you can now call
ctf_link_add_ctf without a CTF argument (only a NAME), to lazily
ctf_open the file with the given NAME when needed, and close it as soon
as possible, to save memory. This is not an API change because a null
CTF argument was prohibited before now.
Since getting CTF directly from files uses ctf_open, passing in only a
NAME requires use of libctf, not libctf-nobfd. The linker's behaviour
is unchanged, as it still passes in a ctf_archive_t as before.
This also let us fix a leak: we were opening ctf_archives and their
containing ctf_files, then only closing the files and leaving the
archives open.
Third, this commit restructures the ctf_link_in_member argument used by
the CTF linking machinery and adjusts its users accordingly.
We drop two members:
- arcname, which is difficult to construct and then only used in error
messages (that were only dprintf()ed, so never seen!)
- share_mode, since we store the flags passed to ctf_link (including the
share mode) in a new ctf_file_t.ctf_link_flags to help dedup get hold
of it
We rename others whose existing names were fairly dreadful:
- done_main_member -> done_parent, using consistent terminology for .ctf
as the parent of all archive members
- main_input_fp -> in_fp_parent, likewise
- file_name -> in_file_name, likewise
We add one new member, cu_mapped.
Finally, we move the various frees of things like mapping table data to
the top-level ctf_link, since deduplicating links will want to do that
too.

Jose Marchesi noted that the traditional-Unix error array in ctf-error.c
introduces one reloc per error to initialize the array: 58 so far. We
can reduce this to zero using an array of carefully-sized individual
members which is used to construct a string table, that is then
referenced by the lookup functions: but doing this automatically is a
pain.
Bruno Haible wrote suitable code years ago: I got permission to reuse it
(Bruno says "... which I hereby put in the public domain"); I modified
it a tiny bit (similarly to what Ulrich Drepper did in the dsohowto
text, but I redid it from scratch), commented it up a bit, and shifted
the error table into that form, migrating it into the new file
ctf-error.h.
This has the advantage that it spotted both typos in the text of the
errors in the comments in ctf-api.h and typos in the error defines in
the comments in ctf-error.c, and places where the two were simply not
in sync. All are now fixed.
One new constant exists in ctf-api.h: CTF_NERR, since the old method of
working out the number of errors in ctf-error.c was no longer usable,
and it seems that the number of CTF errors is something users might
reasonably want as well. It should be pretty easy to keep up to date as
new errors are introduced.

This lets other programs read and write CTF-format data.
Two versioned shared libraries are created: libctf.so and
libctf-nobfd.so. They contain identical content except that
libctf-nobfd.so contains no references to libbfd and does not implement
ctf_open, ctf_fdopen, ctf_bfdopen or ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect, so it can be
used by programs that cannot use BFD, like readelf.
The soname major version is presently .0 until the linker API
stabilizes, when it will flip to .1 and hopefully never change again.

This is the start of work on the core of the linking mechanism for CTF
sections. This commit handles the type and string sections.
The linker calls these functions in sequence:
ctf_link_add_ctf: to add each CTF section in the input in turn to a
newly-created ctf_file_t (which will appear in the output, and which
itself will become the shared parent that contains types that all
TUs have in common (in all link modes) and all types that do not
have conflicting definitions between types (by default). Input files
that are themselves products of ld -r are supported, though this is
not heavily tested yet.
ctf_link: called once all input files are added to merge the types in
all the input containers into the output container, eliminating
duplicates.
ctf_link_add_strtab: called once the ELF string table is finalized and
all its offsets are known, this calls a callback provided by the
linker which returns the string content and offset of every string in
the ELF strtab in turn: all these strings which appear in the input
CTF strtab are eliminated from it in favour of the ELF strtab:
equally, any strings that only appear in the input strtab will
reappear in the internal CTF strtab of the output.
ctf_link_shuffle_syms (not yet implemented): called once the ELF symtab
is finalized, this calls a callback provided by the linker which
returns information on every symbol in turn as a ctf_link_sym_t. This
is then used to shuffle the function info and data object sections in
the CTF section into symbol table order, eliminating the index
sections which map those sections to symbol names before that point.
Currently just returns ECTF_NOTYET.
ctf_link_write: Returns a buffer containing either a serialized
ctf_file_t (if there are no types with conflicting definitions in the
object files in the link) or a ctf_archive_t containing a large
ctf_file_t (the common types) and a bunch of small ones named after
individual CUs in which conflicting types are found (containing the
conflicting types, and all types that reference them). A threshold
size above which compression takes place is passed as one parameter.
(Currently, only gzip compression is supported, but I hope to add lzma
as well.)
Lifetime rules for this are simple: don't close the input CTF files
until you've called ctf_link for the last time. We do not assume
that symbols or strings passed in by the callback outlast the
call to ctf_link_add_strtab or ctf_link_shuffle_syms.
Right now, the duplicate elimination mechanism is the one already
present as part of the ctf_add_type function, and is not particularly
good: it misses numerous actual duplicates, and the conflicting-types
detection hardly ever reports that types conflict, even when they do
(one of them just tends to get silently dropped): it is also very slow.
This will all be fixed in the next few weeks, but the fix hardly touches
any of this code, and the linker does work without it, just not as
well as it otherwise might. (And when no CTF section is present,
there is no effect on performance, of course. So only people using
a trunk GCC with not-yet-committed patches will even notice. By the
time it gets upstream, things should be better.)

v5: fix tabdamage.

ctf.h states:
> [...] the CTF string table does not contain any duplicated strings.
Unfortunately this is entirely untrue: libctf has before now made no
attempt whatsoever to deduplicate the string table. It computes the
string table's length on the fly as it adds new strings to the dynamic
CTF file, and ctf_update() just writes each string to the table and
notes the current write position as it traverses the dynamic CTF file's
data structures and builds the final CTF buffer. There is no global
view of the strings and no deduplication.
Fix this by erasing the ctf_dtvstrlen dead-reckoning length, and adding
a new dynhash table ctf_str_atoms that maps unique strings to a list
of references to those strings: a reference is a simple uint32_t * to
some value somewhere in the under-construction CTF buffer that needs
updating to note the string offset when the strtab is laid out.
Adding a string is now a simple matter of calling ctf_str_add_ref(),
which adds a new atom to the atoms table, if one doesn't already exist,
and adding the location of the reference to this atom to the refs list
attached to the atom: this works reliably as long as one takes care to
only call ctf_str_add_ref() once the final location of the offset is
known (so you can't call it on a temporary structure and then memcpy()
that structure into place in the CTF buffer, because the ref will still
point to the old location: ctf_update() changes accordingly).
Generating the CTF string table is a matter of calling
ctf_str_write_strtab(), which counts the length and number of elements
in the atoms table using the ctf_dynhash_iter() function we just added,
populating an array of pointers into the atoms table and sorting it into
order (to help compressors), then traversing this table and emitting it,
updating the refs to each atom as we go. The only complexity here is
arranging to keep the null string at offset zero, since a lot of code in
libctf depends on being able to leave strtab references at 0 to indicate
'no name'. Once the table is constructed and the refs updated, we know
how long it is, so we can realloc() the partial CTF buffer we allocated
earlier and can copy the table on to the end of it (and purge the refs
because they're not needed any more and have been invalidated by the
realloc() call in any case).
The net effect of all this is a reduction in uncompressed strtab sizes
of about 30% (perhaps a quarter to a half of all strings across the
Linux kernel are eliminated as duplicates). Of course, duplicated
strings are highly redundant, so the space saving after compression is
only about 20%: when the other non-strtab sections are factored in, CTF
sizes shrink by about 10%.
No change in externally-visible API or file format (other than the
reduction in pointless redundancy).

We cannot just look for any declaration of qsort_r, because some
operating systems have a qsort_r that has a different prototype
but which still has a pair of pointers in the right places (the last two
args are interchanged): so use AC_LINK_IFELSE to check for both
known variants of qsort_r(), and swap their args into a consistent order
in a suitable inline function. (The code for this is taken almost
unchanged from gnulib.)
(Now we are not using AC_LIBOBJ any more, we can use a better name for
the qsort_r replacement as well.)

- Use of nonportable <endian.h>
- Use of qsort_r
- Use of zlib without appropriate magic to pull in the binutils zlib
- Use of off64_t without checking (fixed by dropping the unused fields
that need off64_t entirely)
- signedness problems due to long being too short a type on 32-bit
platforms: ctf_id_t is now 'unsigned long', and CTF_ERR must be
used only for functions that return ctf_id_t
- One lingering use of bzero() and of <sys/errno.h>
All fixed, using code from gnulib where possible.
Relatedly, set cts_size in a couple of places it was missed
(string table and symbol table loading upon ctf_bfdopen()).
