2025-07-25readelf: objdump: sframe: fix dumping with section nameIndu Bhagat5-1/+68
Fix PR binutils/33186 - No SFrame dump if section name is not .sframe When the section name is not ".sframe", ensure that readelf and objdump are able to dump a section of type SHT_GNU_SFRAME and not fail if the user specifies the new section name. For objdump, in dump_dwarf_section (), use the match string of ".sframe" to find the corresponding debug_displays[] item for SFrame section. Doing this ensures that any call to dump_dwarf_section () with the section pointing to the SFrame section (with name possibly different from ".sframe") will successfully dump the SFrame section. If the SFrame section is named anything but ".sframe", and user does not specify the name of the SFrame section either, the documented behaviour is that the default section name is assumed to be ".sframe". So the following (albeit counter intuitive) is expected at this time: $ readelf -S sort | grep sframe [NN] .sframe2 GNU_SFRAME 0000000000NNNNNN 0000NNNN (Note section name .sframe2). $ objdump --sframe sort sort: file format elf64-x86-64 No .sframe section present (Similarly for readelf as well). For objdump, set dump_sframe_section_name to ".sframe" if user specifies no section name. In the error checking done in dump_sframe_section, add the case when user specifies a valid section name but one that does not contain SFrame section data. For sections generated with Binutils >= 2.45, this can be checked with section type of SHT_GNU_SFRAME. Previously these sections were SHT_PROGBITS with name ".sframe". Similar changes in readelf. Add a test each for objdump and readelf to dump a renamed section. Use gas_sframe_check to limit the execution of these tests only when a gas supporting SFrame format is present. binutils/ PR binutils/33186 * objdump.c (dump_dwarf_section): Set match to ".sframe" which corresponds to the name in the debug_displays[] entry for SFrame section. (dump_sframe_section): Check if the user specified section name contains SFrame data. (main): Set default section name to ".sframe". * readelf.c (display_debug_section): Adjust checks to find the debug_diplays[] item for the input arg SFrame section.

2025-07-24strip: Properly handle LLVM IR bitcodeH.J. Lu4-10/+219
commit 717a38e9a02109fcbcb18bb2ec3aa251e2ad0a0d Author: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com> Date: Sun May 4 05:12:46 2025 +0800 strip: Add GCC LTO IR support added "-R .gnu.lto_.*" to strip to remove all GCC LTO sections. When "-R .gnu.lto_.*" is used, the plugin target is ignored so that all LTO sections are stripped as the regular sections. It works for the slim GCC LTO IR since the GCC LTO IR is stored in the regular sections. When the plugin target is ignored, the GCC LTO IR can be recognized as the normal object files. But it doesn't work for the slim LLVM IR which is stored in a standalone file. 1. Add bfd_check_format_matches_lto and bfd_check_format_lto to take an argument, lto_sections_removed, to indicate if all LTO sections should be removed. 2. Update strip to always enable the plugin target so that the plugin target is enabled when checking for bfd_archive. 3. Update strip to ignore the plugin target for bfd_object when all LTO sections should be removed. If the object is unknown, copy it as an unknown file without any messages. 4. Treat the "-R .llvm.lto" strip option as removing all LTO sections. bfd/ PR binutils/33198 * format.c (bfd_check_format_lto): New function. (bfd_check_format): Call bfd_check_format_matches_lto.

2025-07-11gas: elf: binutils: add new section type SHT_GNU_SFRAMEIndu Bhagat1-0/+2
So far, SFrame sections were of type SHT_PROGBITS. As per ELF specification, SHT_PROGBITS indicates that the section holds information defined by the program, whose format and meaning are determined solely by the program. On the linker side, SHT_PROGBITS should be reserved for the simple "cat contents after applying relocs" semantics. Currently, the only way to know that a section contains SFrame stack trace data is if consumer checks for section name. Such a check for section name is not quite conformant to ELF principles. Some of this was discussed here https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2025-March/140181.html With this change, the SFrame sections generated by gas, ld will have section type set to SHT_GNU_SFRAME. The new section type is defined in the SHT_LOOS/SHT_HIOS space. The SFrame parsing routine _bfd_elf_parse_sframe () now admits sections only when the the section type is SHT_GNU_SFRAME. No special handling / validation is done at the moment for the case of manual creation of SFrame sections via obj_elf_section (). Add function level comments for now to add a note about this. Although the default handling for (sh_type >= SHT_LOOS && sh_type <= SHT_HIOS) is sufficient when SHT_GNU_SFRAME is in that range, it makes sense to add it as a case of its own. bfd/ * elf-sframe.c (_bfd_elf_parse_sframe): Check if section type is SHT_GNU_SFRAME.

2025-07-06NEWS: sframe: mention new semantics for SFrame FDE function start addrIndu Bhagat1-0/+10

2025-07-06bfd: gas: ld: libsframe: adopt new encoding for FDE func start addr fieldIndu Bhagat1-1/+1
This patch convenes a set of changes in bfd, gas, ld, libsframe towards moving to the new encoding for the 'sfde_func_start_address' field in SFrame FDE. First, gas must now mark all SFrame sections with the new flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. gas was already emitting the field in the said encoding. * gas/gen-sframe.c (output_sframe_internal): Emit the flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. Similarly for ld, adopt the new semantics of sfde_func_start_address consistently. This means: - When merging SFrame sections, check that all input SFrame sections have the SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL flag set. If the check fails, ld errors out. - When merging SFrame sections, keep even the in-memory contents of the FDE function start address (buffer passed to libsframe sframe_encoder_write () for writing out) encoded in the new semantics. While it is, in theory, possible that instead of doing this change here, we adjust the value of sfde_func_start_address at the final write (sframe_encoder_write) time. But latter is not favorable for maintenanance and may be generally confusing for developers. - When creating SFrame for PLT entries, emit flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. include/ * sframe-api.h (SFRAME_F_LD_MUSTHAVE_FLAGS): New definition. bfd/ * elf-sframe.c (_bfd_elf_merge_section_sframe): Check for flag combinatation SFRAME_F_LD_MUSTHAVE_FLAGS set for all input and output SFrame sections. If not, error out. Also, adopt the new semantics of function start address encoding. * bfd/elfxx-x86.c (_bfd_x86_elf_create_sframe_plt): Emit flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. Next, for dumping SFrame sections, now that we are emitting the same encoding in GAS, non-relocatable and relocatable SFrame links, it is the time to set relocate to TRUE in debug_displays[]. binutils/ * dwarf.c (struct dwarf_section_display): Allow sframe sections to now be relocated. gas/testsuite/ * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-aarch64-pac-ab-key-1.d: Update the test. Relocatable SFrame sections now display non-zero value (appropriate function start address). Now, as the SFrame sections on-disk and in-memory use the new semantics of sfde_func_start_address encoding (i.e., function start address is the offset from the sfde_func_start_address field to the start PC), the calculation to make it human readable (i.e., relatable to the addresses in .text sections) needs adjustment. libsframe/ * sframe-dump.c (dump_sframe_func_with_fres): Adjust the function start address for dumping. Now that both the emission of the new encoding, and the relocation of sections before dumping them is in place, it is time to adjust the testcases. gas/testsuite/ * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-aarch64-1.d: Update expected output to include SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL instead of NONE. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-aarch64-2.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-aarch64-3.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-aarch64-4.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-1.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-10.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-11.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-2.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-3.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-4.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-5.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-6.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-7.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-8.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-9.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-1.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-2.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-empty-1.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-empty-2.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-empty-3.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-empty-4.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-1.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-2.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-3.d: Likewise. * gas/scfi/x86_64/scfi-cfi-sections-1.d: Likewise. * gas/scfi/x86_64/scfi-dyn-stack-1.d: Likewise. ld/testsuite/ * ld-aarch64/sframe-simple-1.d: Update expected output to include SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. * ld-x86-64/sframe-ibt-plt-1.d: Likewise. * ld-x86-64/sframe-plt-1.d: Likewise. * ld-x86-64/sframe-pltgot-1.d: Likewise. * ld-x86-64/sframe-pltgot-2.d: Likewise. * ld-x86-64/sframe-simple-1.d: Likewise. Naturally, the change of semantics for 'SFrame FDE function start address' has consequences on the implementation in libsframe. As per the new semantics: - Function start address in the SFrame FDE (sfde_func_start_address) is an offset from the FDE function start address field to the start PC of the associated function. Note that, the libsframe library brings the SFrame section contents into its own memory to create a sframe_decoder_ctx object via sframe_decode (). Many internal and user-interfacing APIs then may use sframe_decoder_ctx object to interact and fulfill the work. In context of changing semantics for sfde_func_start_address, following relevant examples may help understand the impact: - sframe_find_fre () finds a the SFrame stack trace data (SFrame FRE) given a lookup offset (offset of lookup_pc from the start of SFrame section). Now that the sfde_func_start_address includes the distance from the sfde_func_start_address field to the start of SFrame section itself, the comparison checks of sfde_func_start_address with the incoming lookup offset need adjustment. - Some internal functions (sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr_internal () finds SFrame FDE by using binary seach comparing sfde_func_start_address fields, etc.) need adjustments. - sframe_encoder_write () sorts the SFrame FDEs before writing out the SFrame data. Sorting of SFrame FDE via the internal function sframe_sort_funcdesc() needs adjustments: the new encoding of sfde_func_start_address means the distances are not from the same anchor, so cannot be sorted directly. This patch takes the approach of adding a new internal function: - sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr (): This function returns the offset of the start PC of the function from the start of SFrame section, i.e., it gives a section-relative offset. As the sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr () API needs the value of the function index in the FDE list, another internal API needs sframe_fre_check_range_p () adjustments too. Sorting the FDEs (via sframe_sort_funcdesc ()) is done by first bringing all offsets in sfde_func_start_address relative to start of SFrame section, followed by sorting, and then readjusting the offsets accroding to the new position in the FDE list. libsframe/ * sframe.c (sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr): New static function. (sframe_fre_check_range_p): Adjust the interface a bit. (sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr_internal): Use sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr () when comparing sfde_func_start_address with user input offset. (sframe_find_fre): Adopt the new semantics. (sframe_sort_funcdesc): Likewise. For the libsframe testsuite, use the new encoding for FDE func start addr: distance between the FDE sfde_func_start_address field and the start PC of the function itself. Use SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL flag, though the sframe_encode () interface in libsframe applies no sanity checks for the encoding itself. libsframe/testsuite/ * libsframe.find/findfre-1.c: Adjust to use the new SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL specific encoding. * libsframe.find/findfunc-1.c: Likewise. * libsframe.find/plt-findfre-1.c: Likewise. * libsframe/testsuite/libsframe.decode/DATA2: Update data file due to usage of new SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL flag. * libsframe/testsuite/libsframe.encode/encode-1.c: Use flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL.
2025-07-06objdump, readelf: sframe: apply relocations before textual dumpIndu Bhagat4-77/+68
PR libsframe/32589 - function start address is zero in SFrame section dump Currently, readelf and objdump display the SFrame sections in ET_REL object files with function start addresses of each function as 0. This makes it difficult to correlate SFrame stack trace information with the individual functions in the object file. For objdump, use the dump_dwarf () interface to dump SFrame section. Similarly, for readelf, use the display_debug_section () interface to dump SFrame section. These existing interfaces (for DWARF debug sections) already support relocating the section contents before dumping, so lets use them for SFrame sections as well. When adding a new entry for SFrame in debug_option_table[], use char 'nil' and the option name of "sframe-internal-only". This is done so that there is no additional (unnecessary) user-exposed ways of dumping SFrame sections. Additionally, we explicitly disallow the "sframe-internal-only" from external/user input in --dwarf (objdump). Similarly, "sframe-internal-only" is explicitly matched and disallowed from --debug-dump (readelf). For objdump and readelf, we continue to keep the same error messaging as earlier: $ objdump --sframe=sframe bubble_sort.o ... No sframe section present $ objdump --sframe=.sfram bubble_sort.o ... No .sfram section present $ objdump --sframe=sframe-internal-only sort ... No sframe-internal-only section present Similarly for readelf: $ readelf --sframe= bubble_sort.o readelf: Error: Section name must be provided $ readelf --sframe=.sfram bubble_sort.o readelf: Warning: Section '.sfram' was not dumped because it does not exist $ readelf --sframe=sframe bubble_sort.o readelf: Warning: Section 'sframe' was not dumped because it does not exist PS: Note how this patch adds a new entry to debug_displays[] with a relocate value set to FALSE. This will be set to TRUE in a subsequent patch ("bfd: gas: ld: libsframe: emit func start addr field as an offset from FDE") when fixes are made to emit the value of the 'sfde_func_start_address' field in the new encoding SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL across gas and ld. binutils/ * dwarf.c (display_sframe): New definition.

2025-06-25readelf: invalid error message triggered when last tag is an empty stringMatthieu Longo1-2/+6
Disclaimer: this issue cannot occur with Object Attributes v1 (OAv1) while using the GNU binutils because a value of '\0' (empty string) for a tag with a string value is considered as the default value for the attribute, and consequently is eliminated by gas from the output object file during the serialization. An empty string is a valid value for a NTBS tag in both OAv1 and OAv2 [1] cases. However, contrarily to OAv1, a OAv2 subsection can be required and so, tags in this subsection might have to be present even if the value is the default. To comply with this requirement, the OAv2 serializer won't drop the default values. In the case where a NTBS tag has the value '\0' and is last in the object attributes section, the current code in readelf used for dumping the object attributes incorrectly detects an overflow, and prints out an error message for a corrupted string tag. This patch fixes the detection of the overflow so that it now accept an empty string in the last tag of the object attributes section. It also fixes the previous tests for the empty NTBS case and the non-null terminated string one. The fix was also tested in the context of OAv2's patch series [1] where the issue was originally detected. No regression was found.

2025-06-13bfd,ld,dlltool: Emit delay-load import data into its own sectionLIU Hao1-6/+70
A delay-import symbol (of a function) is resolved when a call to it is made. The delay loader may overwrite the `__imp_` pointer to the actual function after it has been resolved, which requires the pointer itself be in a writeable section. Previously it was placed in the ordinary Import Address Table (IAT), which is emitted into the `.idata` section, which had been changed to read-only in db00f6c3aceabbf03acdb69e74b59b2d2b043cd7, which caused segmentation faults when functions from delay-import library were called. This is PR 32675. This commit makes DLLTOOL emit delay-import IAT into `.didat`, as specified by Microsoft. Most of the code is copied from `.idata`, except that this section is writeable. As a side-effect of this, PR 14339 is also fixed. Using this DEF: ``` ; ws2_32.def LIBRARY "WS2_32.DLL" EXPORTS WSAGetLastError ``` and this C program: ``` // delay.c #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN 1 #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // User code ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// DWORD WINAPI WSAGetLastError(void); extern PVOID __imp_WSAGetLastError; int main(void) { fprintf(stderr, "before delay load, __imp_WSAGetLastError = %p\n", __imp_WSAGetLastError); SetLastError(123); fprintf(stderr, "WSAGetLastError() = %d\n", WSAGetLastError()); fprintf(stderr, "after delay load, __imp_WSAGetLastError = %p\n", __imp_WSAGetLastError); __imp_WSAGetLastError = (PVOID) 1234567; fprintf(stderr, "after plain write, __imp_WSAGetLastError = %p\n", __imp_WSAGetLastError); } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Overridden `__delayLoadHelper2` facility ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// extern char __ImageBase[]; PVOID WINAPI ResolveDelayLoadedAPI(PVOID ParentModuleBase, LPCVOID DelayloadDescriptor, PVOID FailureDllHook, PVOID FailureSystemHook, FARPROC* ThunkAddress, ULONG Flags); FARPROC WINAPI DelayLoadFailureHook(LPCSTR name, LPCSTR function); FARPROC WINAPI __delayLoadHelper2(LPCVOID pidd, FARPROC* ppfnIATEntry) { return ResolveDelayLoadedAPI(&__ImageBase, pidd, NULL, (PVOID) DelayLoadFailureHook, ppfnIATEntry, 0); } ``` This program used to crash: ``` $ dlltool -nn -d ws2_32.def -y delay_ws2_32.a $ gcc -g delay.c delay_ws2_32.a -o delay.exe $ ./delay.exe before delay load, __imp_WSAGetLastError = 00007FF6937215C6 Segmentation fault ``` After this commit, it loads and calls `WSAGetLastError()` properly, and `__imp_WSAGetLastError` is writeable: ``` $ dlltool -nn -d ws2_32.def -y delay_ws2_32.a $ gcc -g delay.c delay_ws2_32.a -o delay.exe $ ./delay.exe before delay load, __imp_WSAGetLastError = 00007FF76E2215C6 WSAGetLastError() = 123 after delay load, __imp_WSAGetLastError = 00007FFF191FA720 after plain write, __imp_WSAGetLastError = 000000000012D687 ``` Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secbp/pe-metadata#import-handling Co-authored-by: Jeremy Drake <sourceware-bugzilla@jdrake.com> Signed-off-by: LIU Hao <lh_mouse@126.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Drake <sourceware-bugzilla@jdrake.com>
