AArch64: Fix disassembler bug with out-of-order sections
The AArch64 disassembler has an optimization that it uses to reduce the amount it has to search for mapping symbols during disassembly. This optimization assumes that sections are listed in the section header in monotonic increasing VMAs. However this is not a requirement for the ELF specification. Because of this when such "out of order" sections occur the disassembler would pick the wrong mapping symbol to disassemble the section with. This fixes it by explicitly passing along the stop offset for the current disassembly glob and when this changes compared to the previous one we've seen the optimization won't be performed. In effect this restarts the search from a well defined starting point. Usually the symbol's address. The existing stop_vma can't be used for this as it is allowed to be unset and setting this unconditionally would change the semantics of this field. binutils/ChangeLog: * objdump.c (disassemble_bytes): Pass stop_offset. * testsuite/binutils-all/aarch64/out-of-order.T: New test. * testsuite/binutils-all/aarch64/out-of-order.d: New test. * testsuite/binutils-all/aarch64/out-of-order.s: New test. include/ChangeLog: * dis-asm.h (struct disassemble_info): Add stop_offset. opcodes/ChangeLog: * aarch64-dis.c (last_stop_offset): New. (print_insn_aarch64): Use stop_offset.
