Put bfd_section_from_shdr loop detection array in elf_tdata
The static variables used by bfd_section_from_shdr to detect loops
in ELF sections have a problem: Comparing a BFD pointer doesn't
guarantee that the current bfd is the same as the one previously used
to allocate the sections_being_created array. For example, doing
size bad_elf_1 bad_elf_2
with two corrupted ELF files containing section loops will leave the
section_being_created array allocated for the first file and since
bfd_close is called for bad_elf_1 before bfd_elf_2 is opened, it is
possible that the BFD for the second file is allocated in the same
memory as the first file. If bad_elf_2 has more sections than
bad_elf_1 then we might write beyond the end of the array.
So this patch implements the FIXME Nick put in a comment about
attaching the array to the BFD.
* elf-bfd.h (struct elf_obj_tdata): Add being_created.
* elf.c (bfd_section_from_shdr): Delete static vars for loop
detection. Use new tdata variable instead.
* elfcode.h (elf_object_p): Allocate being_created.
