libctf has long prohibited addition of enums with overlapping constants in a
single enum, but now that we are properly considering enums with overlapping
constants to be conflciting types, we can go further and prohibit addition
of enumeration constants to a dict if they already exist in any enum in that
dict: the same rules as C itself.
We do this in a fashion vaguely similar to what we just did in the
deduplicator, by considering enumeration constants as identifiers and adding
them to the core type/identifier namespace, ctf_dict_t.ctf_names. This is a
little fiddly, because we do not want to prohibit opening of existing dicts
into which the deduplicator has stuffed enums with overlapping constants!
We just want to prohibit the addition of *new* enumerators that violate that
rule. Even then, it's fine to add overlapping enumerator constants as long
as at least one of them is in a non-root type. (This is essential for
proper deduplicator operation in cu-mapped mode, where multiple compilation
units can be smashed into one dict, with conflicting types marked as
hidden: these types may well contain overlapping enumerators.)
So, at open time, keep track of all enums observed, then do a third pass
through the enums alone, adding each enumerator either to the ctf_names
table as a mapping from the enumerator name to the enum it is part of (if
not already present), or to a new ctf_conflicting_enums hashtable that
tracks observed duplicates. (The latter is not used yet, but will be soon.)
(We need to do a third pass because it's quite possible to have an enum
containing an enumerator FOO followed by a type FOO: since they're processed
in order, the enumerator would be processed before the type, and at that
stage it seems nonconflicting. The easiest fix is to run through the
enumerators after all type names are interned.)
At ctf_add_enumerator time, if the enumerator to which we are adding a type
is root-visible, check for an already-present name and error out if found,
then intern the new name in the ctf_names table as is done at open time.
(We retain the existing code which scans the enum itself for duplicates
because it is still an error to add an enumerator twice to a
non-root-visible enum type; but we only need to do this if the enum is
non-root-visible, so the cost of enum addition is reduced.)
Tested in an upcoming commit.

Ever since commit 1fa7a0c24e78e7f ("libctf: sort out potential refcount
loops") ctf_dict_close has only freed anything if the refcount on entry
to the function is precisely 1. >1 obviously just decrements the
refcount, but the linker machinery can sometimes cause freeing to recurse
from a dict to another dict and then back to the first dict again, so
we interpret a refcount of 0 as an indication that this is a recursive call
and we should just return, because a caller is already freeing this dict.
Unfortunately there is one situation in which this is not true: the bad:
codepath in ctf_bufopen entered when opening fails. Because the refcount is
bumped only at the very end of ctf_bufopen, any failure causes
ctf_dict_close to be entered with a refcount of zero, and it frees nothing
and we leak the entire dict.
The solution is to bump the refcount to 1 right before freeing... but this
codepath is clearly delicate enough that we need to properly validate it,
so we add a test that uses malloc interposition to count allocations and
frees, creates a dict, writes it out, intentionally corrupts it (by setting
a bunch of bytes after the header to a value high enough that it is
definitely not a valid CTF type kind), then tries to open it again and
counts the malloc/free pairs to make sure they're matched. (Test run only
on *-linux-gnu, because malloc interposition is not a thing you can rely
upon working everywhere, and this test is not arch-dependent so if it
passes on one arch it can be assumed to pass on all of them.)

ctf_serialize() evolved from the old ctf_update(), which mutated the
in-memory CTF dict to make all the dynamic in-memory types into static,
unchanging written-to-the-dict types (by deserializing and reserializing
it): back in the days when you could only do type lookups on static types,
this meant you could see all the types you added recently, at the small,
small cost of making it impossible to change those older types ever again
and inducing an amortized O(n^2) cost if you actually wanted to add
references to types you added at arbitrary times to later types.
It also reset things so that ctf_discard() would throw away only types you
added after the most recent ctf_update() call.
Some time ago this was all changed so that you could look up dynamic types
just as easily as static types: ctf_update() changed so that only its
visible side-effect of affecting ctf_discard() remained: the old
ctf_update() was renamed to ctf_serialize(), made internal to libctf, and
called from the various functions that wrote files out.
... but it was still working by serializing and deserializing the entire
dict, swapping out its guts with the newly-serialized copy in an invasive
and horrible fashion that coupled ctf_serialize() to almost every field in
the ctf_dict_t. This is totally useless, and fixing it is easy: just rip
all that code out and have ctf_serialize return a serialized representation,
and let everything use that directly. This simplifies most of its callers
significantly.
(It also points up another bug: ctf_gzwrite() failed to call ctf_serialize()
at all, so it would only ever work for a dict you just ctf_write_mem()ed
yourself, just for its invisible side-effect of serializing the dict!)
This lets us simplify away a bunch of internal-only open-side functionality
for overriding the syn_ext_strtab and some just-added functionality for
forcing in an existing atoms table, without loss of functionality, and lets
us lift the restriction on reserializing a dict that was ctf_open()ed rather
than being ctf_create()d: it's now perfectly OK to open a dict, modify it
(except for adding members to existing structs, unions, or enums, which
fails with -ECTF_RDONLY), and write it out again, just as one would expect.

This commit finally adjusts strtab writeout so that repeated writeouts, or
writeouts of a dict that was read in earlier, only sorts the portion of the
strtab that was newly added.
There are three intertwined changes here:
- pull the contents of strtabs from newly ctf_bufopened dicts into the
atoms table, so that future additions will reuse the existing offset etc
rather than adding new identical strings
- allow the internal ctf_bufopen done by serialization to contribute its
existing atoms table, so that existing atoms can be used for the
remainder of the open process (like name table construction): this atoms
table currente gets thrown away in the mass reassignment done later in
ctf_serialize in any case, but it needs to be there during the open.
- rewrite ctf_str_write_strtab so that a) it uses iterators rather than
ctf_*_iter, reducing pointless structures which serve no other purpose
than to implement ordinary variable scope, but more clunkily, and b)
retains the existing strtab on the front of the new one, with its sort
retained, rather than resorting, so all existing already-written strtab
offsets remain valid across the call.
This latter change finally permits repeated serializations, and
reserializations of ctf_open()ed dicts, to work, but for now we keep the
code that prevents that because serialization is about to change again in a
way that will make it more obvious that doing such things is safe, and we
can take it out then.
(There are also some smaller changes like moving the purge of the refs table
into ctf_str_write_strtab(), since that's where the changes happen that
invalidate it, rather than doing it in ctf_serialize(). We also prohibit
something that has never worked, opening a dict and then reporting symbols
to it via ctf_link_add_strtab() et al: you must do that to newly-created
dicts which have had stuff ctf_link()ed into them. This is very unlikely
ever to be a problem in practice: linkers just don't do that sort of thing.)

These two fields are constantly confusing because CTF dicts contain both
a symtypetab and strtab, but these fields are not that: they are the
symtab and strtab from the ELF file. We have enough string tables now

least name them better than this to avoid getting totally confused.

libctf has long declared deserialized dictionaries (out of files or ELF
sections or memory buffers or whatever) to be read-only: back in the
furthest prehistory this was not the case, in that you could add a
few sorts of type to such dicts, but attempting to do so often caused
horrible memory corruption, so I banned the lot.
But it turns out real consumers want it (notably DTrace, which
synthesises pointers to types that don't have them and adds them to the
ctf_open()ed dicts if it needs them). Let's bring it back again, but
without the memory corruption and without the massive code duplication
required in days of yore to distinguish between static and dynamic
types: the representation of both types has been identical for a few
years, with the only difference being that types as a whole are stored in
a big buffer for types read in via ctf_open and per-type hashtables for
newly-added types.
So we discard the internally-visible concept of "readonly dictionaries"
in favour of declaring the *range of types* that were already present
when the dict was read in to be read-only: you can't modify them (say,
by adding members to them if they're structs, or calling ctf_set_array
on them), but you can add more types and point to them. (The API
remains the same, with calls sometimes returning ECTF_RDONLY, but now
they do so less often.)
This is a fairly invasive change, mostly because code written since the
ban was introduced didn't take the possibility of a static/dynamic split
into account. Some of these irregularities were hard to define as
anything but bugs.
Notably:
- The symbol handling was assuming that symbols only needed to be
looked for in dynamic hashtabs or static linker-laid-out indexed/
nonindexed layouts, but now we want to check both in case people
added more symbols to a dict they opened.
- The code that handles type additions wasn't checking to see if types
with the same name existed *at all* (so you could do
ctf_add_typedef (fp, "foo", bar) repeatedly without error). This
seems reasonable for types you just added, but we probably *do* want
to ban addition of types with names that override names we already
used in the ctf_open()ed portion, since that would probably corrupt
existing type relationships. (Doing things this way also avoids
causing new errors for any existing code that was doing this sort of
thing.)
- ctf_lookup_variable entirely failed to work for variables just added
by ctf_add_variable: you had to write the dict out and read it back
in again before they appeared.
- The symbol handling remembered what symbols you looked up but didn't
remember their types, so you could look up an object symbol and then
find it popping up when you asked for function symbols, which seems
less than ideal. Since we had to rejig things enough to be able to
distinguish function and object symbols internally anyway (in order
to give suitable errors if you try to add a symbol with a name that
already existed in the ctf_open()ed dict), this bug suddenly became
more visible and was easily fixed.
We do not (yet) support writing out dicts that have been previously read
in via ctf_open() or other deserializer (you can look things up in them,
but not write them out a second time). This never worked, so there is
no incompatibility; if it is needed at a later date, the serializer is a
little bit closer to having it work now (the only table we don't deal
with is the types table, and that's because the upcoming CTFv4 changes
are likely to make major changes to the way that table is represented
internally, so adding more code that depends on its current form seems
like a bad idea).
There is a new testcase that tests much of this, in particular that
modification of existing types is still banned and that you can add new
ones and chase them without error.

The intent of the name lookup code was for lookups to yield non-bitfield
basic types except if none existed with a given name, and only then
return bitfield types with that name. Unfortunately, the code as
written only does this if the base type has a type ID higher than all
bitfield types, which is most unlikely (the opposite is almost always
the case).
Adjust it so that what ends up in the name table is the highest-width
zero-offset type with a given name, if any such exist, and failing that
the first type with that name we see, no matter its offset. (We don't
define *which* bitfield type you get, after all, so we might as well
just stuff in the first we find.)

libctf internally maintains a set of hash tables for type name lookups,
one for each valid C type namespace (struct, union, enum, and everything
else).
Or, rather, it maintains *two* sets of hash tables: one, a ctf_hash *,
is meant for lookups in ctf_(buf)open()ed dicts with fixed content; the
other, a ctf_dynhash *, is meant for lookups in ctf_create()d dicts.
This distinction was somewhat valuable in the far pre-binutils past when
two different hashtable implementations were used (one expanding, the
other fixed-size), but those days are long gone: the hash table
implementations are almost identical, both wrappers around the libiberty
hashtab. The ctf_dynhash has many more capabilities than the ctf_hash
(iteration, deletion, etc etc) and has no downsides other than starting
at a fixed, arbitrary small size.
That limitation is easy to lift (via a new ctf_dynhash_create_sized()),
following which we can throw away nearly all the ctf_hash
implementation, and all the code to choose between readable and writable
hashtabs; the few convenience functions that are still useful (for
insertion of name -> type mappings) can also be generalized a bit so
that the extra string verification they do is potentially available to
other string lookups as well.
(libctf still has two hashtable implementations, ctf_dynhash, above,
and ctf_dynset, which is a key-only hashtab that can avoid a great many
malloc()s, used for high-volume applications in the deduplicator.)

libctf has always handled endianness differences by detecting
foreign-endian CTF dicts on the input and endian-flipping them: dicts
are always written in native endianness. This makes endian-awareness
very low overhead, but it means that the foreign-endian code paths
almost never get routinely tested, since "make check" usually reads in
dicts ld has just written out: only a few corrupted-CTF tests are
actually in fixed endianness, and even they only test the foreign-
endian code paths when you run make check on a big-endian machine.
(And the fix is surely not to add more .s-based tests like that, because
they are a nightmare to maintain compared to the C-code-based ones.)
To improve on this, add a new environment variable,
LIBCTF_WRITE_FOREIGN_ENDIAN, which causes libctf to unconditionally
endian-flip at ctf_write time, so the output is always in the wrong
endianness. This then tests the foreign-endian read paths properly
at open time.
Make this easier by restructuring the writeout code in ctf-serialize.c,
which duplicates the maybe-gzip-and-write-out code three times (once
for ctf_write_mem, with thresholding, and once each for
ctf_compress_write and ctf_write just so those can avoid thresholding
and/or compression). Instead, have the latter two call the former
with thresholds of 0 or (size_t) -1, respectively.
The endian-flipping code itself gains a bit of complexity, because
one single endian-flipper (flip_types) was assuming the input to be
in foreign-endian form and assuming it could pull things out of the
input once they had been flipped and make sense of them. At the
cost of a few lines of duplicated initializations, teach it to
read before flipping if we're flipping to foreign-endianness instead
of away from it.

The last section in a CTF dict is the string table, at an offset
represented by the cth_stroff header field. Its length is recorded in
the next field, cth_strlen, and the two added together are taken as the
size of the CTF dict. Upon opening a dict, we check that none of the
header offsets exceed this size, and we check when uncompressing a
compressed dict that the result of the uncompression is the same length:
but CTF dicts need not be compressed, and short ones are not.
Uncompressed dicts just use the ctf_size without checking it. This
field is thankfully almost unused: it is mostly used when reserializing
a dict, which can't be done to dicts read off disk since they're
read-only.
However, when opening an uncompressed foreign-endian dict we have to
copy it out of the mmaped region it is stored in so we can endian-
swap it, and we use ctf_size when doing that. When the cth_strlen is
corrupt, this can overrun.
Fix this by checking the ctf_size in all uncompressed cases, just as we
already do in the compressed case. Add a new test.
This came to light because various corrupted-CTF raw-asm tests had an
incorrect cth_strlen: fix all of them so they produce the expected
error again.

Older (pre-upstreaming) GCC emits a function symtypetab section of a
format never read by any extant libctf. We can detect such CTF dicts by
the lack of the CTF_F_NEWFUNCINFO flag in their header, and we do so
when reading in the symtypetab section -- but if the set of symbols with
types is sufficiently sparse, even an older GCC will emit a function
index section.
In NEWFUNCINFO-capable compilers, this section will always be the exact
same length as the corresponding function section (each is an array of
uint32_t, associated 1:1 with each other). But this is not true for the
older compiler, for which the sections are different lengths. We check
to see if the function symtypetab section and its index are the same
length, but we fail to skip this check when this is not a NEWFUNCINFO
dict, and emit a spurious corruption error for a CTF dict we could
have perfectly well opened and used.
Fix trivial: check the flag (and fix the terrible grammar of the error
message at the same time).

Before now, types that could not be encoded in CTF were represented as
references to type ID 0, which does not itself appear in the
dictionary. This choice is annoying in several ways, principally that it
forces generators and consumers of CTF to grow special cases for types
that are referenced in valid dicts but don't appear.
Allow an alternative representation (which will become the only
representation in format v4) whereby nonrepresentable types are encoded
as actual types with kind CTF_K_UNKNOWN (an already-existing kind
theoretically but not in practice used for padding, with value 0).
This is backward-compatible, because CTF_K_UNKNOWN was not used anywhere
before now: it was used in old-format function symtypetabs, but these
were never emitted by any compiler and the code to handle them in libctf
likely never worked and was removed last year, in favour of new-format
symtypetabs that contain only type IDs, not type kinds.
In order to link this type, we need an API addition to let us add types
of unknown kind to the dict: we let them optionally have names so that
GCC can emit many different unknown types and those types with identical
names will be deduplicated together. There are also small tweaks to the
deduplicator to actually dedup such types, to let opening of dicts with
unknown types with names work, to return the ECTF_NONREPRESENTABLE error
on resolution of such types (like ID 0), and to print their names as
something useful but not a valid C identifier, mostly for the sake of
the dumper.
Tests added in the next commit.

Out-of-memory errors initializing the string atoms table were
disregarded (though they would have caused a segfault very shortly
afterwards). Errors hashing types during deduplication were only
reported if they happened on the output dict, which is almost never the
case (most errors are going to be on the dict we're working over, which
is going to be one of the inputs). (The error was detected in both
cases, but the errno was extracted from the wrong dict.)

The existing ctf_lookup_by_symbol and ctf_arc_lookup_symbol functions
suffice to look up the types of symbols if the caller already has a
symbol number. But the caller often doesn't have one of those and only
knows the name of the symbol: also, in object files, the caller might
not have a useful symbol number in any sense (and neither does libctf:
the 'symbol number' we use in that case literally starts at 0 for the
lexicographically first-sorted symbol in the symtypetab and counts those
symbols, so it corresponds to nothing useful).
This means that even though object files have a symtypetab (generated by
the compiler or by ld -r), the only way we can look up anything in it is
to iterate over all symbols in turn with ctf_symbol_next until we find
the one we want.
This is unhelpful and pointlessly inefficient.
So add a pair of functions to look up symbols by name in a dict and in a
whole archive: ctf_lookup_by_symbol_name and ctf_arc_lookup_symbol_name.
These are identical to the existing functions except that they take
symbol names rather than symbol numbers.
To avoid insane repetition, we do some refactoring in the process, so
that both ctf_lookup_by_symbol and ctf_arc_lookup_symbol turn into thin
wrappers around internal functions that do both lookup by symbol index
and lookup by name. This massively reduces code duplication because
even the existing lookup-by-index stuff wants to use a name sometimes
(when looking up in indexed sections), and the new lookup-by-name stuff
has to turn it into an index sometimes (when looking up in non-indexed
sections): doing it this way lets us share most of that.
The actual name->index lookup is done by ctf_lookup_symbol_idx. We do
not anticipate this lookup to be as heavily used as ld.so symbol lookup
by many orders of magnitude, so using the ELF symbol hashes would
probably take more time to read them than is saved by using the hashes,
and it adds a lot of complexity. Instead, do a linear search for the
symbol name, caching all the name -> index mappings as we go, so that
future searches are likely to hit in the cache. To avoid having to
repeat this search over and over in a CTF archive when
ctf_arc_lookup_symbol_name is used, have cached archive lookups (the
sort done by ctf_arc_lookup_symbol* and the ctf_archive_next iterator)
pick out the first dict they cache in a given archive and store it in a
new ctf_archive field, ctfi_crossdict_cache. This can be used to store
cross-dictionary cached state that depends on things like the ELF symbol
table rather than the contents of any one dict. ctf_lookup_symbol_idx
then caches its name->index mappings in the dictionary named in the
crossdict cache, if any, so that ctf_lookup_symbol_idx in other dicts
in the same archive benefit from the previous linear search, and the
symtab only needs to be scanned at most once.
(Note that if you call ctf_lookup_by_symbol_name in one specific dict,
and then follow it with a ctf_arc_lookup_symbol_name, the former will
not use the crossdict cache because it's only populated by the dict
opens in ctf_arc_lookup_symbol_name. This is harmless except for a small
one-off waste of memory and time: it's only a cache, after all. We can
fix this later by using the archive caching machinery more
aggressively.)
In ctf-archive, we do similar things, turning ctf_arc_lookup_symbol into
a wrapper around a new function that does both index -> ID and name ->
ID lookups across all dicts in an archive. We add a new
ctfi_symnamedicts cache that maps symbol names to the ctf_dict_t * that
it was found in (so that linear searches for symbols don't need to be
repeated): but we also *remove* a cache, the ctfi_syms cache that was
memoizing the actual ctf_id_t returned from every call to
ctf_arc_lookup_symbol. This is pointless: all it saves is one call to
ctf_lookup_by_symbol, and that's basically an array lookup and nothing
more so isn't worth caching. (Equally, given that symbol -> index
mappings are cached by ctf_lookup_by_symbol_name, those calls are nearly
free after the first call, so there's no point caching the ctf_id_t in
that case either.)
We fix up one test that was doing manual symbol lookup to use
ctf_arc_lookup_symbol instead, and enhance it to check that the caching
layer is not totally broken: we also add a new test to do lookups in a
.o file, and another to do lookups in an archive with conflicted types
and make sure that sort of multi-dict lookup is actually working.

There is special code in libctf to handle typedefs with no name, which
the code calls "anonymous typedef nodes".
These monsters are obviously not something C programs can include: the
whole point of a ttypedef is to introduce a new name. Looking back at
the history of DWARF in GCC, the only thing (outside C++ anonymous
namespaces) which can generate a DW_TAG_typedef without a DW_AT_name is
obsolete code to handle the long-removed -feliminate-dwarf2-dups option.
Looking at OpenSolaris, typedef nodes with no name couldn't be generated
by the DWARF->CTF converter at all (and its deduplicator barfed on
them): the only reason for the existence of this code is a special case
working around a peculiarity of stabs whereby types could sometimes be
referenced before they were introduced.
We don't need to carry code in libctf to handle special cases in an
obsolete OpenSolaris converter (that yields a format that isn't readable
by libctf anyway). So drop it.

When you look up a type by name using ctf_lookup_by_name, in most cases
libctf can just strip off any qualifiers and look for the name, but for
pointer types this doesn't work, since the caller will want the pointer
type itself. But pointer types are nameless, and while they cite the
types they point to, looking up a type by name requires a link going the
*other way*, from the type pointed to to the pointer type that points to
it.
libctf has always built this up at open time: ctf_ptrtab is an array of
type indexes pointing from the index of every type to the index of the
type that points to it. But because it is built up at open time (and
because it uses type indexes and not type IDs) it is restricted to
working within a single dict and ignoring parent/child
relationships. This is normally invisible, unless you manage to get a
dict with a type in the parent but the only pointer to it in a child.
The ctf_ptrtab will not track this relationship, so lookups of this
pointer type by name will fail. Since which type is in the parent and
which in the child is largely opaque to the user (which goes where is up
to the deduplicator, and it can and does reshuffle things to save
space), this leads to a very bad user experience, with an
obviously-visible pointer type which ctf_lookup_by_name claims doesn't
exist.
The fix is to have another array, ctf_pptrtab, which is populated in
child dicts: like the parent's ctf_ptrtab, it has one element per type
in the parent, but is all zeroes except for those types which are
pointed to by types in the child: so it maps parent dict indices to
child dict indices. The array is grown, and new child types scanned,
whenever a lookup happens and new types have been added to the child
since the last time a lookup happened that might need the pptrtab.
(So for non-writable dicts, this only happens once, since new types
cannot be added to non-writable dicts at all.)
Since this introduces new complexity (involving updating only part of
the ctf_pptrtab) which is only seen when a writable dict is in use, we
introduce a new libctf-writable testsuite that contains lookup tests
with no corresponding CTF-containing .c files (which can thus be run
even on platforms with no .ctf-section support in the linker yet), and
add a test to check that creation of pointers in children to types in
parents and a following lookup by name works as expected. The non-
writable case is tested in a new libctf-regression testsuite which is
used to track now-fixed outright bugs in libctf.

The CTF symbol lookup machinery added recently has one deficit: it
assumes the symtab is in the machine's native endianness. This is
always true when the linker is writing out symtabs (because cross
linkers byteswap symbols only after libctf has been called on them), but
may be untrue in the cross case when the linker or another tool
(objdump, etc) is reading them.
Unfortunately the easy way to model this to the caller, as an endianness
field in the ctf_sect_t, is precluded because doing so would change the
size of the ctf_sect_t, which would be an ABI break. So, instead, allow
the endianness of the symtab to be set after open time, by calling one
of the two new API functions ctf_symsect_endianness (for ctf_dict_t's)
or ctf_arc_symsect_endianness (for entire ctf_archive_t's). libctf
calls these functions automatically for objects opened via any of the
BFD-aware mechanisms (ctf_bfdopen, ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect, ctf_fdopen,
ctf_open, or ctf_arc_open), but the various mechanisms that just take
raw ctf_sect_t's will assume the symtab is in native endianness and need
a later call to ctf_*symsect_endianness to adjust it if needed. (This
call is basically free if the endianness is actually native: it only
costs anything if the symtab endianness was previously guessed wrong,
and there is a symtab, and we are using it directly rather than using
symtab indexing.)
Obviously, calling ctf_lookup_by_symbol or ctf_symbol_next before the
symtab endianness is correctly set will probably give wrong answers --
but you can set it at any time as long as it is before then.

libctf has long provided ctf_getdatasect, which hands back a pointer to
the CTF section a (read-only) dict came from. But it has no such
functions to return pointers to the ELF symbol table or string table
it's working from, which is unfortunate because several libctf functions
(ctf_open, ctf_fdopen, and ctf_bfdopen) figure out which string and
symbol table to use themselves, and don't tell the user what they
decided, so the caller can't agree on which symtab to use with libctf
even if it wanted to.
Add a pair of functions to return the symtab and strtab in use. Like
ctf_getdatasect, these return ctf_sect_t structures by value, filled
with all-NULL/0 content if a symtab or strtab is not being used.

This adds facilities to write out the function info and data object
sections, which efficiently map from entries in the symbol table to
types. The write-side code is entirely new: the read-side code was
merely significantly changed and support for indexed tables added
(pointed to by the no-longer-unused cth_objtidxoff and cth_funcidxoff
header fields).
With this in place, you can use ctf_lookup_by_symbol to look up the
types of symbols of function and object type (and, as before, you can
use ctf_lookup_variable to look up types of file-scope variables not
present in the symbol table, as long as you know their name: but
variables that are also data objects are now found in the data object
section instead.)
(Compatible) file format change:
The CTF spec has always said that the function info section looks much
like the CTF_K_FUNCTIONs in the type section: an info word (including an
argument count) followed by a return type and N argument types. This
format is suboptimal: it means function symbols cannot be deduplicated
and it causes a lot of ugly code duplication in libctf. But
conveniently the compiler has never emitted this! Because it has always
emitted a rather different format that libctf has never accepted, we can
be sure that there are no instances of this function info section in the
wild, and can freely change its format without compatibility concerns or
a file format version bump. (And since it has never been emitted in any
code that generated any older file format version, either, we need keep
no code to read the format as specified at all!)
So the function info section is now specified as an array of uint32_t,
exactly like the object data section: each entry is a type ID in the
type section which must be of kind CTF_K_FUNCTION, the prototype of
this function.
This allows function types to be deduplicated and also correctly encodes
the fact that all functions declared in C really are types available to
the program: so they should be stored in the type section like all other
types. (In format v4, we will be able to represent the types of static
functions as well, but that really does require a file format change.)
We introduce a new header flag, CTF_F_NEWFUNCINFO, which is set if the
new function info format is in use. A sufficiently new compiler will
always set this flag. New libctf will always set this flag: old libctf
will refuse to open any CTF dicts that have this flag set. If the flag
is not set on a dict being read in, new libctf will disregard the
function info section. Format v4 will remove this flag (or, rather, the
flag has no meaning there and the bit position may be recycled for some
other purpose).
New API:
Symbol addition:
ctf_add_func_sym: Add a symbol with a given name and type. The
type must be of kind CTF_K_FUNCTION (a function
pointer). Internally this adds a name -> type
mapping to the ctf_funchash in the ctf_dict.
ctf_add_objt_sym: Add a symbol with a given name and type. The type
kind can be anything, including function pointers.
This adds to ctf_objthash.
These both treat symbols as name -> type mappings: the linker associates
symbol names with symbol indexes via the ctf_link_shuffle_syms callback,
which sets up the ctf_dynsyms/ctf_dynsymidx/ctf_dynsymmax fields in the
ctf_dict. Repeated relinks can add more symbols.
Variables that are also exposed as symbols are removed from the variable
section at serialization time.
CTF symbol type sections which have enough pads, defined by
CTF_INDEX_PAD_THRESHOLD (whether because they are in dicts with symbols
where most types are unknown, or in archive where most types are defined
in some child or parent dict, not in this specific dict) are sorted by
name rather than symidx and accompanied by an index which associates
each symbol type entry with a name: the existing ctf_lookup_by_symbol
will map symbol indexes to symbol names and look the names up in the
index automatically. (This is currently ELF-symbol-table-dependent, but
there is almost nothing specific to ELF in here and we can add support
for other symbol table formats easily).
The compiler also uses index sections to communicate the contents of
object file symbol tables without relying on any specific ordering of
symbols: it doesn't need to sort them, and libctf will detect an
unsorted index section via the absence of the new CTF_F_IDXSORTED header
flag, and sort it if needed.
Iteration:
ctf_symbol_next: Iterator which returns the types and names of symbols
one by one, either for function or data symbols.
This does not require any sorting: the ctf_link machinery uses it to
pull in all the compiler-provided symbols cheaply, but it is not
restricted to that use.
(Compatible) changes in API:
ctf_lookup_by_symbol: can now be called for object and function
symbols: never returns ECTF_NOTDATA (which is
now not thrown by anything, but is kept for
compatibility and because it is a plausible
error that we might start throwing again at some
later date).
Internally we also have changes to the ctf-string functionality so that
"external" strings (those where we track a string -> offset mapping, but
only write out an offset) can be consulted via the usual means
(ctf_strptr) before the strtab is written out. This is important
because ctf_link_add_linker_symbol can now be handed symbols named via
strtab offsets, and ctf_link_shuffle_syms must figure out their actual
names by looking in the external symtab we have just been fed by the
ctf_link_add_strtab callback, long before that strtab is written out.

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).

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 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.

Now a bunch of stuff that doesn't apply to ld or any normal use of
libctf, piled into one commit so that it's easier to ignore.
The cu-mapping machinery associates incoming compilation unit names with
outgoing names of CTF dictionaries that should correspond to them, for
non-gdb CTF consumers that would like to group multiple TUs into a
single child dict if conflicting types are found in it (the existing use
case is one kernel module, one child CTF dict, even if the kernel module
is composed of multiple CUs).
The upcoming deduplicator needs to track not only the mapping from
incoming CU name to outgoing dict name, but the inverse mapping from
outgoing dict name to incoming CU name, so it can work over every CTF
dict we might see in the output and link into it.
So rejig the ctf-link machinery to do that. Simultaneously (because
they are closely associated and were written at the same time), we add a
new CTF_LINK_EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS flag to ctf_link, which tells the
ctf_link machinery to create empty child dicts for each outgoing CU
mapping even if no CUs that correspond to it exist in the link. This is
a bit (OK, quite a lot) of a waste of space, but some existing consumers
require it. (Nobody else should use it.)
Its value is not consecutive with existing CTF_LINK flag values because
we're about to add more flags that are conceptually closer to the
existing ones than this one is.

When you link TUs that contain conflicting types together, the resulting
CTF section is an archive containing many CTF dicts. These dicts appear
in ctf_link_outputs of the shared dict, with each ctf_import'ing that
shared dict. ctf_importing a dict bumps its refcount to stop it going
away while it's in use -- but if the shared dict (whose refcount is
bumped) has the child dict (doing the bumping) in its ctf_link_outputs,
we have a refcount loop, since the child dict only un-ctf_imports and
drops the parent's refcount when it is freed, but the child is only
freed when the parent's refcount falls to zero.
(In the future, this will be able to go wrong on the inputs too, when an
ld -r'ed deduplicated output with conflicts is relinked. Right now this
cannot happen because we don't ctf_import such dicts at all. This will
be fixed in a later commit in this series.)
Fix this by introducing an internal-use-only ctf_import_unref function
that imports a parent dict *witthout* bumping the parent's refcount, and
using it when we create per-CU outputs. This function is only safe to
use if you know the parent cannot go away while the child exists: but if
the parent *owns* the child, as here, this is necessarily true.
Record in the ctf_file_t whether a parent was imported via ctf_import or
ctf_import_unref, so that if you do another ctf_import later on (or a
ctf_import_unref) it can decide whether to drop the refcount of the
existing parent being replaced depending on which function you used to
import that one. Adjust ctf_serialize so that rather than doing a
ctf_import (which is wrong if the original import was
ctf_import_unref'fed), we just copy the parent field and refcount over
and forcibly flip the unref flag on on the old copy we are going to
discard.
ctf_file_close also needs a bit of tweaking to only close the parent if
it was not imported with ctf_import_unref: while we're at it, guard
against repeated closes with a refcount of zero and stop them causing
double-frees, even if destruction of things freed *inside*
ctf_file_close cause such recursion.
Verified no leaks or accesses to freed memory after all of this with
valgrind. (It was leak-happy before.)

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.

We were accidentally interning newly-added and newly-opened
non-root-visible types into name tables, and removing names from name
tables when such types were removed. This is very wrong: the whole
point of non-root-visible types is they do not go in name tables and
cannot be looked up by name. This bug made non-root-visible types
basically identical to root-visible types, right back to the earliest

These just get in the way of auditing for erroneous usage of strdup and

ctf_malloc and ctf_free usage has not reliably matched up for many
years, if ever, making the whole game pointless.

it, fix a bunch of places where we weren't properly checking for OOM.

The code to handle structures (and unions) that refer to themselves in
ctf_add_type is extremely dodgy. It works by looking through the list
of not-yet-committed types for a structure with the same name as the
structure in question and assuming, if it finds it, that this must be a
reference to the same type. This is a linear search that gets ever
slower as the dictionary grows, requiring you to call ctf_update at
intervals to keep performance tolerable: but if you do that, you run
into the problem that if a forward declared before the ctf_update is
changed to a structure afterwards, ctf_update explodes.
The last commit fixed most of this: this commit can use it, adding a new
ctf_add_processing hash that tracks source type IDs that are currently
being processed and uses it to avoid infinite recursion rather than the
dynamic type list: we split ctf_add_type into a ctf_add_type_internal,
so that ctf_add_type itself can become a wrapper that empties out this
being-processed hash once the entire recursive type addition is over.
Structure additions themselves avoid adding their dependent types
quite so much by checking the type mapping and avoiding re-adding types
we already know we have added.
We also add support for adding forwards to dictionaries that already
contain the thing they are a forward to: we just silently return the
original type.
v4: return existing struct/union/enum types properly, rather than using
an uninitialized variable: shrinks sizes of CTF sections back down

Add structs to the mapping as soon as we intern them, before they
gain any members.

The method of operation of libctf when the dictionary is writable has
before now been that types that are added land in the dynamic type
section, which is a linked list and hash of IDs -> dynamic type
definitions (and, recently a hash of names): the DTDs are a bit of CTF
representing the ctf_type_t and ad hoc C structures representing the
vlen. Historically, libctf was unable to do anything with these types,
not even look them up by ID, let alone by name: if you wanted to do that
say if you were adding a type that depended on one you just added) you
called ctf_update, which serializes all the DTDs into a CTF file and
reopens it, copying its guts over the fp it's called with. The
ctf_updated types are then frozen in amber and unchangeable: all lookups
will return the types in the static portion in preference to the dynamic
portion, and we will refuse to re-add things that already exist in the
static portion (and, of late, in the dynamic portion too). The libctf
machinery remembers the boundary between static and dynamic types and
looks in the right portion for each type. Lots of things still don't
quite work with dynamic types (e.g. getting their size), but enough
works to do a bunch of additions and then a ctf_update, most of the
time.
Except it doesn't, because ctf_add_type finds it necessary to walk the
full dynamic type definition list looking for types with matching names,
so it gets slower and slower with every type you add: fixing this
requires calling ctf_update periodically for no other reason than to
avoid massively slowing things down.
This is all clunky and very slow but kind of works, until you consider
that it is in fact possible and indeed necessary to modify one sort of
type after it has been added: forwards. These are necessarily promoted
to structs, unions or enums, and when they do so *their type ID does not
change*. So all of a sudden we are changing types that already exist in
the static portion. ctf_update gets massively confused by this and
allocates space enough for the forward (with no members), but then emits
the new dynamic type (with all the members) into it. You get an
assertion failure after that, if you're lucky, or a coredump.
So this commit rejigs things a bit and arranges to exclusively use the
dynamic type definitions in writable dictionaries, and the static type
definitions in readable dictionaries: we don't at any time have a mixture
of static and dynamic types, and you don't need to call ctf_update to
make things "appear". The ctf_dtbyname hash I introduced a few months
ago, which maps things like "struct foo" to DTDs, is removed, replaced
instead by a change of type of the four dictionaries which track names.
Rather than just being (unresizable) ctf_hash_t's populated only at
ctf_bufopen time, they are now a ctf_names_t structure, which is a pair
of ctf_hash_t and ctf_dynhash_t, with the ctf_hash_t portion being used
in readonly dictionaries, and the ctf_dynhash_t being used in writable
ones. The decision as to which to use is centralized in the new
functions ctf_lookup_by_rawname (which takes a type kind) and
ctf_lookup_by_rawhash, which it calls (which takes a ctf_names_t *.)
This change lets us switch from using static to dynamic name hashes on
the fly across the entirety of libctf without complexifying anything: in
fact, because we now centralize the knowledge about how to map from type
kind to name hash, it actually simplifies things and lets us throw out
quite a lot of now-unnecessary complexity, from ctf_dtnyname (replaced
by the dynamic half of the name tables), through to ctf_dtnextid (now
that a dictionary's static portion is never referenced if the dictionary
is writable, we can just use ctf_typemax to indicate the maximum type:
dynamic or non-dynamic does not matter, and we no longer need to track
the boundary between the types). You can now ctf_rollback() as far as
you like, even past a ctf_update or for that matter a full writeout; all
the iteration functions work just as well on writable as on read-only
dictionaries; ctf_add_type no longer needs expensive duplicated code to
run over the dynamic types hunting for ones it might be interested in;
and the linker no longer needs a hack to call ctf_update so that calling
ctf_add_type is not impossibly expensive.
There is still a bit more complexity: some new code paths in ctf-types.c
need to know how to extract information from dynamic types. This
complexity will go away again in a few months when libctf acquires a
proper intermediate representation.
You can still call ctf_update if you like (it's public API, after all),
but its only effect now is to set the point to which ctf_discard rolls
back.
Obviously *something* still needs to serialize the CTF file before
writeout, and this job is done by ctf_serialize, which does everything
ctf_update used to except set the counter used by ctf_discard. It is
automatically called by the various functions that do CTF writeout:
nobody else ever needs to call it.
With this in place, forwards that are promoted to non-forwards no longer
crash the link, even if it happens tens of thousands of types later.

Once the deduplicator is capable of actually detecting conflicting types
with the same name (i.e., not yet) we will place such conflicting types,
and types that depend on them, into CTF dictionaries that are the child
of the main dictionary we usually emit: currently, this will lead to the
.ctf section becoming a CTF archive rather than a single dictionary,
with the default-named archive member (_CTF_SECTION, or NULL) being the
main shared dictionary with most of the types in it.
By default, the sections are named after the compilation unit they come
from (complete path and all), with the cuname field in the CTF header
providing further evidence of the name without requiring the caller to
engage in tiresome parsing. But some callers may not wish the mapping
from input CU to output sub-dictionary to be purely CU-based.
The machinery here allows this to be freely changed, in two ways:
- callers can call ctf_link_add_cu_mapping to specify that a single
input compilation unit should have its types placed in some other CU
if they conflict: the CU will always be created, even if empty, so
the consuming program can depend on its existence. You can map
multiple input CUs to one output CU to force all their types to be
merged together: if some of *those* types conflict, the behaviour is
currently unspecified (the new deduplicator will specify it).
- callers can call ctf_link_set_memb_name_changer to provide a function
which is passed every CTF sub-dictionary name in turn (including
_CTF_SECTION) and can return a new name, or NULL if no change is
desired. The mapping from input to output names should not map two
input names to the same output name: if this happens, the two are not
merged but will result in an archive with two members with the same
name (technically valid, but it's hard to access the second
same-named member: you have to do an iteration over archive members).
This is used by the kernel's ctfarchive machinery (not yet upstream) to
encode CTF under member names like {module name}.ctf rather than
.ctf.CU, but it is anticipated that other large projects may wish to
have their own storage for CTF outside of .ctf sections and may wish to
have new naming schemes that suit their special-purpose consumers.

This lets you call ctf_type_mapping (dest_fp, src_fp, src_type_id)
and get told what type ID the corresponding type has in the target
ctf_file_t. This works even if it was added by a recursive call, and
because it is stored in the target ctf_file_t it works even if we
had to add one type to multiple ctf_file_t's as part of conflicting
type handling.
We empty out this mapping after every archive is linked: because it maps
input to output fps, and we only visit each input fp once, its contents
are rendered entirely useless every time the source fp changes.
v3: add several missing mapping additions. Add ctf_dynhash_empty, and
empty after every input archive.

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.)

The CTF file format has always supported "external strtabs", which
internally are strtab offsets with their MSB on: such refs
get their strings from the strtab passed in at CTF file open time:
this is usually intended to be the ELF strtab, and that's what this
implementation is meant to support, though in theory the external
strtab could come from anywhere.
This commit adds support for these external strings in the ctf-string.c
strtab tracking layer. It's quite easy: we just add a field csa_offset
to the atoms table that tracks all strings: this field tracks the offset
of the string in the ELF strtab (with its MSB already on, courtesy of a
new macro CTF_SET_STID), and adds a new function that sets the
csa_offset to the specified offset (plus MSB). Then we just need to
avoid writing out strings to the internal strtab if they have csa_offset
set, and note that the internal strtab is shorter than it might
otherwise be.
(We could in theory save a little more time here by eschewing sorting
such strings, since we never actually write the strings out anywhere,
but that would mean storing them separately and it's just not worth the
complexity cost until profiling shows it's worth doing.)
We also have to go through a bit of extra effort at variable-sorting
time. This was previously using direct references to the internal
strtab: it couldn't use ctf_strptr or ctf_strraw because the new strtab
is not yet ready to put in its usual field (in a ctf_file_t that hasn't
even been allocated yet at this stage): but now we're using the external
strtab, this will no longer do because it'll be looking things up in the
wrong strtab, with disastrous results. Instead, pass the new internal
strtab in to a new ctf_strraw_explicit function which is just like
ctf_strraw except you can specify a ne winternal strtab to use.
But even now that it is using a new internal strtab, this is not quite
enough: it can't look up strings in the external strtab because ld
hasn't written it out yet, and when it does will write it straight to
disk. Instead, when we write the internal strtab, note all the offset
-> string mappings that we have noted belong in the *external* strtab to
a new "synthetic external strtab" dynhash, ctf_syn_ext_strtab, and look
in there at ctf_strraw time if it is set. This uses minimal extra
memory (because only strings in the external strtab that we actually use
are stored, and even those come straight out of the atoms table), but
let both variable sorting and name interning when ctf_bufopen is next
called work fine. (This also means that we don't need to filter out
spurious ECTF_STRTAB warnings from ctf_bufopen but can pass them back to
the caller, once we wrap ctf_bufopen so that we have a new internal
variant of ctf_bufopen etc that we can pass the synthetic external
strtab to. That error has been filtered out since the days of Solaris
libctf, which didn't try to handle the problem of getting external
strtabs right at construction time at all.)

No code handles these yet, but our latest GCC patches are generating
them, so we have to be ready for them or erroneously conclude that we
have file corruption.
(This simultaneously fixes a longstanding bug, concealed because nothing
was generating anything in the object or function info sections, where
the end of the section was being tested against the wrong thing: it
would have walked over the entire contents of the variable section and
treated them as part of the function info section. This had to change
now anyway because the new sections have landed in between.)
include/
* ctf.h: Add object index and function index sections. Describe
them. Improve the description of the variable section and clarify
the constraints on backward-pointing type nodes.
(ctf_header): Add cth_objtidxoff, cth_funcidxoff.

The code in ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect (which is the ultimate place where you
end up if you use ctf_open to open a CTF file and pull in the ELF string
and symbol tables) was written before it was possible to actually test
it, since the linker was not written. Now it is, it turns out that the
previous code was completely nonfunctional: it assumed that you could
load the symbol table via bfd_section_from_elf_index (...,elf_onesymtab())
and the string table via bfd_section_from_elf_index on the sh_link.
Unfortunately BFD loads neither of these sections in the conventional
fashion it uses for most others: the symbol table is immediately
converted into internal form (which is useless for our purposes, since
we also have to work in the absence of BFD for readelf, etc) and the
string table is loaded specially via bfd_elf_get_str_section which is
private to bfd/elf.c.
So make this function public, export it in elf-bfd.h, and use it from
libctf, which does something similar to what bfd_elf_sym_name and
bfd_elf_string_from_elf_section do. Similarly, load the symbol table
manually using bfd_elf_get_elf_syms and throw away the internal form
it generates for us (we never use it).
BFD allocates the strtab for us via bfd_alloc, so we can leave BFD to
deallocate it: we allocate the symbol table ourselves before calling
bfd_elf_get_elf_syms, so we still have to free it.
Also change the rules around what you are allowed to provide: It is
useful to provide a string section but no symbol table, because CTF
sections can legitimately have no function info or data object sections
while relying on the ELF strtab for some of their strings. So allow
that combination.
v4: adjust to upstream changes. ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect's first parameter
is potentially unused again (if BFD is not in use for this link
due to not supporting an ELF target).

The CTF header has before now been thrown away too soon to be dumped
using the ctf_dump() machinery used by objdump and readelf: instead, a
kludge involving debugging-priority dumps of the header offsets on every
open was used.
Replace this with proper first-class dumping machinery just like
everything else in the CTF file, and have objdump and readelf use it.
(The dumper already had an enum value in ctf_sect_names_t for this
purpose, waiting to be used.)
