2019-10-03libctf: properly handle ctf_add_type of forwards and self-reffing structsNick Alcock1-0/+1
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 to roughly where they were in v1/v2 of this patch series. v5: fix tabdamage. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h (ctf_file_t) <ctf_add_processing>: New. * ctf-open.c (ctf_file_close): Free it. * ctf-create.c (ctf_serialize): Adjust. (membcmp): When reporting a conflict due to an error, report the error. (ctf_add_type): Turn into a ctf_add_processing wrapper. Rename to... (ctf_add_type_internal): ... this. Hand back types we are already in the middle of adding immediately. Hand back structs/unions with the same number of members immediately. Do not walk the dynamic list. Call ctf_add_type_internal, not ctf_add_type. Handle forwards promoted to other types and the inverse case identically. Add structs to the mapping as soon as we intern them, before they gain any members.
2019-10-03libctf: avoid the need to ever use ctf_updateNick Alcock1-18/+36
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. v5: fix tabdamage. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h (ctf_names_t): New.

2019-10-03libctf: add CU-mapping machineryNick Alcock1-0/+4
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.

2019-10-03libctf: map from old to corresponding newly-added types in ctf_add_typeNick Alcock1-0/+20
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. v5: fix tabdamage. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h (ctf_file_t): New field ctf_link_type_mapping. (struct ctf_link_type_mapping_key): New.

2019-10-03libctf: add the ctf_link machineryNick Alcock1-0/+2
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.) v3: Fix error handling. v4: check for strdup failure. v5: fix tabdamage. include/ * ctf-api.h (struct ctf_link_sym): New, a symbol in flight to the libctf linking machinery.

2019-10-03libctf: support getting strings from the ELF strtabNick Alcock1-2/+15
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.) v3: add the synthetic strtab and all associated machinery. v5: fix tabdamage. include/ * ctf.h (CTF_SET_STID): New. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h (ctf_str_atom_t) <csa_offset>: New field.

2019-10-03libctf, binutils: dump the CTF headerNick Alcock1-0/+1
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.) v5: fix tabdamage. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h (ctf_file_t): New field ctf_openflags. * ctf-open.c (ctf_bufopen): Set it.

2019-10-03libctf: allow the header to change between versionsNick Alcock1-2/+6
libctf supports dynamic upgrading of the type table as file format versions change, but before now has not supported changes to the CTF header. Doing this is complicated by the baroque storage method used: the CTF header is kept prepended to the rest of the CTF data, just as when read from the file, and written out from there, and is endian-flipped in place. This makes accessing it needlessly hard and makes it almost impossible to make the header larger if we add fields. The general storage machinery around the malloced ctf pointer (the 'ctf_base') is also overcomplicated: the pointer is sometimes malloced locally and sometimes assigned from a parameter, so freeing it requires checking to see if that parameter was used, needlessly coupling ctf_bufopen and ctf_file_close together. So split the header out into a new ctf_file_t.ctf_header, which is written out explicitly: squeeze it out of the CTF buffer whenever we reallocate it, and use ctf_file_t.ctf_buf to skip past the header when we do not need to reallocate (when no upgrading or endian-flipping is required). We now track whether the CTF base can be freed explicitly via a new ctf_dynbase pointer which is non-NULL only when freeing is possible. With all this done, we can upgrade the header on the fly and add new fields as desired, via a new upgrade_header function in ctf-open. As with other forms of upgrading, libctf upgrades older headers automatically to the latest supported version at open time. For a first use of this field, we add a new string field cth_cuname, and a corresponding setter/getter pair ctf_cuname_set and ctf_cuname: this is used by debuggers to determine whether a CTF section's types relate to a single compilation unit, or to all compilation units in the program. (Types with ambiguous definitions in different CUs have only one of these types placed in the top-level shared .ctf container: the rest are placed in much smaller per-CU containers, which have the shared container as their parent. Since CTF must be useful in the absence of DWARF, we store the names of the relevant CUs ourselves, so the debugger can look them up.) v5: fix tabdamage. include/ * ctf-api.h (ctf_cuname): New function.

2019-07-01libctf: deduplicate and sort the string tableNick Alcock1-2/+41
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). libctf/ * ctf-impl.h: (struct ctf_strs_writable): New, non-const version of struct ctf_strs.

2019-06-21libctf: drop mmap()-based CTF data allocatorNick Alcock1-5/+0
This allocator has the ostensible benefit that it lets us mprotect() the memory used for CTF storage: but in exchange for this it adds considerable complexity, since we have to track allocation sizes ourselves for use at freeing time, note whether the data we are storing was ctf_data_alloc()ed or not so we know if we can safely mprotect() it... and while the mprotect()ing has found few bugs, it *has* been the cause of more than one due to errors in all this tracking leading to us mprotect()ing bits of the heap and stuff like that. We are about to start composing CTF buffers from pieces so that we can do usage-based optimizations on the strtab. This means we need realloc(), which needs nonportable mremap() and *more* tracking of the *original* allocation size, and the complexity and bureaucracy of all of this is just too high for its negligible benefits. Drop the whole thing and just use malloc() like everyone else. It knows better than we do when it is safe to use mmap() under the covers, anyway.

These functions allow you to look up types given a name in a simple subset of C declarator syntax (no function pointers), to look up the types of variables given a name, and to look up the types of data objects and the type signatures of functions given symbol table offsets.

Finally we get to the functions used to actually look up and enumerate properties of types in a container (names, sizes, members, what type a pointer or cv-qual references, determination of whether two types are assignment-compatible, etc). With a very few exceptions these do not work for types newly added via ctf_add_*(): they only work on types in read-only containers, or types added before the most recent call to ctf_update().

2019-05-28libctf: ELF file opening via BFDNick Alcock1-0/+6
These functions let you open an ELF file with a customarily-named CTF section in it, automatically opening the CTF file or archive and associating the symbol and string tables in the ELF file with the CTF container, so that you can look up the types of symbols in the ELF file via ctf_lookup_by_symbol(), and so that strings can be shared between the ELF file and CTF container, to save space. It uses BFD machinery to do so. This has now been lightly tested and seems to work. In particular, if you already have a bfd you can pass it in to ctf_bfdopen(), and if you want a bfd made for you you can call ctf_open() or ctf_fdopen(), optionally specifying a target (or try once without a target and then again with one if you get ECTF_BFD_AMBIGUOUS back). We use a forward declaration for the struct bfd in ctf-api.h, so that ctf-api.h users are not required to pull in <bfd.h>. (This is mostly for the sake of readelf.) libctf/ * ctf-open-bfd.c: New file. * ctf-open.c (ctf_close): New. * ctf-impl.h: Include bfd.h.

2019-05-28libctf: mmappable archivesNick Alcock1-0/+15
If you need to store a large number of CTF containers somewhere, this provides a dedicated facility for doing so: an mmappable archive format like a very simple tar or ar without all the system-dependent format horrors or need for heavy file copying, with built-in compression of files above a particular size threshold. libctf automatically mmap()s uncompressed elements of these archives, or uncompresses them, as needed. (If the platform does not support mmap(), copying into dynamically-allocated buffers is used.) Archive iteration operations are partitioned into raw and non-raw forms. Raw operations pass thhe raw archive contents to the callback: non-raw forms open each member with ctf_bufopen() and pass the resulting ctf_file_t to the iterator instead. This lets you manipulate the raw data in the archive, or the contents interpreted as a CTF file, as needed. It is not yet known whether we will store CTF archives in a linked ELF object in one of these (akin to debugdata) or whether they'll get one section per TU plus one parent container for types shared between them. (In the case of ELF objects with very large numbers of TUs, an archive of all of them would seem preferable, so we might just use an archive, and add lzma support so you can assume that .gnu_debugdata and .ctf are compressed using the same algorithm if both are present.) To make usage easier, the ctf_archive_t is not the on-disk representation but an abstraction over both ctf_file_t's and archives of many ctf_file_t's: users see both CTF archives and raw CTF files as ctf_archive_t's upon opening, the only difference being that a raw CTF file has only a single "archive member", named ".ctf" (the default if a null pointer is passed in as the name). The next commit will make use of this facility, in addition to providing the public interface to actually open archives. (In the future, it should be possible to have all CTF sections in an ELF file appear as an "archive" in the same fashion.) This machinery is also used to allow library-internal creators of ctf_archive_t's (such as the next commit) to stash away an ELF string and symbol table, so that all opens of members in a given archive will use them. This lets CTF archives exploit the ELF string and symbol table just like raw CTF files can. (All this leads to somewhat confusing type naming. The ctf_archive_t is a typedef for the opaque internal type, struct ctf_archive_internal: the non-internal "struct ctf_archive" is the on-disk structure meant for other libraries manipulating CTF files. It is probably clearest to use the struct name for struct ctf_archive_internal inside the program, and the typedef names outside.) libctf/ * ctf-archive.c: New. * ctf-impl.h (ctf_archive_internal): New type.

2019-05-28libctf: implementation definitions related to file creationNick Alcock1-0/+214
We now enter a series of commits that are sufficiently tangled that avoiding forward definitions is almost impossible: no attempt is made to make individual commits compilable (which is why the build system does not reference any of them yet): the only important thing is that they should form something like conceptual groups. But first, some definitions, including the core ctf_file_t itself. Uses of these definitions will be introduced in later commits. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h: New definitions and declarations for type creation and lookup.
2019-05-28libctf: hashingNick Alcock1-0/+29
libctf maintains two distinct hash ADTs, one (ctf_dynhash) for wrapping dynamically-generated unknown-sized hashes during CTF file construction, one (ctf_hash) for wrapping unchanging hashes whose size is known at creation time for reading CTF files that were previously created. In the binutils implementation, these are both fairly thin wrappers around libiberty hashtab. Unusually, this code is not kept synchronized with libdtrace-ctf, due to its dependence on libiberty hashtab. libctf/ * ctf-hash.c: New file. * ctf-impl.h: New declarations.
2019-05-28libctf: low-level list manipulation and helper utilitiesNick Alcock1-0/+33
These utilities are a bit of a ragbag of small things needed by more than one TU: list manipulation, ELF32->64 translators, routines to look up strings in string tables, dynamically-allocated string appenders, and routines to set the specialized errno values previously committed in <ctf-api.h>. We do still need to dig around in raw ELF symbol tables in places, because libctf allows the caller to pass in the contents of string and symbol sections without telling it where they come from, so we cannot use BFD to get the symbols (BFD reasonably demands the entire file). So extract minimal ELF definitions from glibc into a private header named libctf/elf.h: later, we use those to get symbols. (The start-of- copyright range on elf.h reflects this glibc heritage.) libctf/ * ctf-util.c: New file. * elf.h: Likewise. * ctf-impl.h: Include it, and add declarations.

The memory-allocation wrappers are simple things to allow malloc interposition: they are only used inconsistently at present, usually where malloc debugging was required in the past. These provide a default implementation that is environment-variable triggered (initialized on the first call to the libctf creation and file-opening functions, the first functions people will use), and a ctf_setdebug()/ctf_getdebug() pair that allows the caller to explicitly turn debugging off and on. If ctf_setdebug() is called, the automatic setting from an environment variable is skipped. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h: New file. * ctf-subr.c: New file. include/ * ctf-api.h (ctf_setdebug): New.
