This commit lays the ground work for allowing GDB to write its target
description into a generated core file.
The goal of this work is to allow a user to connect to a remote
target, capture a core file from within GDB, then pass the executable
and core file to another user and have the user be able to examine the
state of the machine without needing to connect to a running target.
Different remote targets can have different register sets and this
information is communicated from the target to GDB in the target
description.
It is possible for a user to extract the target description from GDB
and pass this along with the core file so that when the core file is
used the target description can be fed back into GDB, however this is
not a great user experience.
It would be nicer, I think, if GDB could write the target description
directly into the core file, and then make use of this description
when loading a core file.
This commit performs the binutils/bfd side of this task, adding the
boiler plate functions to access the target description from within a
core file note, and reserving a new number for a note containing the
target description. Later commits will extend GDB to make use of
this.
The new note is given the name 'GDB' and a type NT_GDB_TDESC. This
should hopefully protect us if there's ever a reuse of the number
assigned to NT_GDB_TDESC by some other core file producer. It should
also, hopefully, make it clearer to users that this note carries GDB
specific information.

Adds a trivial wrapper over elfcore_write_note, primarily to be more
consistent with other ELF note helper functions and highlight NT_FILE as
one of notes handled by gdb.

For ELF targets, section symbols are required only for relocations.
With -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, there can be many unused
section symbols. Sizes of libstdc++.a on Linux/x86-64 in GCC 11 are
With unused section symbols : 39411698 bytes
Without unused section symbols: 39227002 bytes
The unused section symbols in libstdc++.a occupy more than 180 KB.
Add BSF_SECTION_SYM_USED to indicate if a section symbol should be
included in the symbol table. The BSF_SECTION_SYM_USED should be set
if the section symbol is used for relocation or the section symbol is
always included in the symbol table.
Add keep_unused_section_symbols to bfd_target to indicate if unused
section symbols should be kept. If TARGET_KEEP_UNUSED_SECTION_SYMBOLS
is defined as FALSE, unused ection symbols will be removed.
Tested on Linux/x86. Other ELF backends need to:
1. Define TARGET_KEEP_UNUSED_SECTION_SYMBOLS to FALSE.
2. Mark used section symbols in assembler backend.
3. Remove unused section symbols from expected assembler and linker
outputs.

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.

Section ordering is important for _bfd_elf_map_sections_to_segments
and assign_file_positions_for_load_sections, which are only prepared
to handle sections in increasing LMA order. When zero size sections
are involved it is possible to have multiple sections at the same LMA.
In that case the zero size sections must sort before any non-zero size
sections regardless of their types.

This is embarrassing.
The whole point of CTF is that it remains intact even after a binary is
stripped, providing a compact mapping from symbols to types for
everything in the externally-visible interface of an ELF object: it has
connections to the symbol table for that purpose, and to the string
table to avoid duplicating symbol names. So it's a shame that the hooks
I implemented last year served to hook it up to the .symtab and .strtab,
which obviously disappear on strip, leaving any accompanying the CTF
dict containing references to strings (and, soon, symbols) which don't
exist any more because their containing strtab has been vaporized. The
original Solaris design used .dynsym and .dynstr (well, actually,
.ldynsym, which has more symbols) which do not disappear. So should we.
Thankfully the work we did before serves as guide rails, and adjusting
things to use the .dynstr and .dynsym was fast and easy. The only
annoyance is that the dynsym is assembled inside elflink.c in a fairly
piecemeal fashion, so that the easiest way to get the symbols out was to
hook in before every call to swap_symbol_out (we also leave in a hook in
front of symbol additions to the .symtab because it seems plausible that
we might want to hook them in future too: for now that hook is unused).
We adjust things so that rather than being offered a whole hash table of
symbols at once, libctf is now given symbols one at a time, with st_name
indexes already resolved and pointing at their final .dynstr offsets:
it's now up to libctf to resolve these to names as needed using the
strtab info we pass it separately.
Some bits might be contentious. The ctf_new_dynstr callback takes an
elf_internal_sym, and this remains an elf_internal_sym right down
through the generic emulation layers into ldelfgen. This is no worse
than the elf_sym_strtab we used to pass down, but in the future when we
gain non-ELF CTF symtab support we might want to lower the
elf_internal_sym to some other representation (perhaps a
ctf_link_symbol) in bfd or in ldlang_ctf_new_dynsym. We rename the
'apply_strsym' hooks to 'acquire_strings' instead, becuse they no longer
have anything to do with symbols.
There are some API changes to pieces of API which are technically public
but actually totally unused by anything and/or unused by anything but ld
so they can change freely: the ctf_link_symbol gains new fields to allow
symbol names to be given as strtab offsets as well as strings, and a
symidx so that the symbol index can be passed in. ctf_link_shuffle_syms
loses its callback parameter: the idea now is that linkers call the new
ctf_link_add_linker_symbol for every symbol in .dynsym, feed in all the
strtab entries with ctf_link_add_strtab, and then a call to
ctf_link_shuffle_syms will apply both and arrange to use them to reorder
the CTF symtab at CTF serialization time (which is coming in the next
commit).
Inside libctf we have a new preamble flag CTF_F_DYNSTR which is always
set in v3-format CTF dicts from this commit forwards: CTF dicts without
this flag are associated with .strtab like they used to be, so that old
dicts' external strings don't turn to garbage when loaded by new libctf.
Dicts with this flag are associated with .dynstr and .dynsym instead.
(The flag is not the next in sequence because this commit was written
quite late: the missing flags will be filled in by the next commit.)
Tests forthcoming in a later commit in this series.

The SHF_GNU_RETAIN section flag is an extension to the GNU ELF OSABI.
It is defined as follows:
=========================================================
Section Attribute Flags
+-------------------------------------+
| Name | Value |
+-------------------------------------+
| SHF_GNU_RETAIN | 0x200000 (1 << 21) |
+-------------------------------------+
SHF_GNU_RETAIN
The link editor should not garbage collect the section.
=========================================================
The .section directive accepts the "R" flag, which indicates
SHF_GNU_RETAIN should be applied to the section.
There is not a direct mapping of SHF_GNU_RETAIN to the BFD
section flag SEC_KEEP. Keeping these flags distinct allows
SHF_GNU_RETAIN sections to be explicitly removed by placing them in
/DISCARD/.

GDB currently doesn't build on 32-bit Solaris:
* On Solaris 11.4/x86:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/procfs.h:26,
from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/dist/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:24:
/usr/include/sys/old_procfs.h:31:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
#error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
^~~~~
* On Solaris 11.3/x86 there are several more instances of this.
The interaction between procfs and large-file support historically has
been a royal mess on Solaris:
* There are two versions of the procfs interface:
** The old ioctl-based /proc, deprecated and not used any longer in
either gdb or binutils.
** The `new' (introduced in Solaris 2.6, 1997) structured /proc.
* There are two headers one can possibly include:
** <procfs.h> which only provides the structured /proc, definining
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1 and then including ...
** <sys/procfs.h> which defaults to _STRUCTURED_PROC=0, the ioctl-based
/proc, but provides structured /proc if _STRUCTURED_PROC == 1.
* procfs and the large-file environment didn't go well together:
** Until Solaris 11.3, <sys/procfs.h> would always #error in 32-bit
compilations when the large-file environment was active
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64).
** In both Solaris 11.4 and Illumos, this restriction was lifted for
structured /proc.
So one has to be careful always to define _STRUCTURED_PROC=1 when
testing for or using <sys/procfs.h> on Solaris. As the errors above
show, this isn't always the case in binutils-gdb right now.
Also one may need to disable large-file support for 32-bit compilations
on Solaris. config/largefile.m4 meant to do this by wrapping the
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE autoconf macro with appropriate checks, yielding
ACX_LARGEFILE. Unfortunately the macro doesn't always succeed because
it neglects the _STRUCTURED_PROC part.
To make things even worse, since GCC 9 g++ predefines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on Solaris. So even if largefile.m4 deciced not to
enable large-file support, this has no effect, breaking the gdb build.
This patch addresses all this as follows:
* All tests for the <sys/procfs.h> header are made with
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1, the definition going into the various config.h
files instead of having to make them (and sometimes failing) in the
affected sources.
* To cope with the g++ predefine of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64,
-U_FILE_OFFSET_BITS is added to various *_CPPFLAGS variables. It had
been far easier to have just
#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
in config.h, but unfortunately such a construct in config.in is
commented by config.status irrespective of indentation and whitespace
if large-file support is disabled. I found no way around this and
putting the #undef in several global headers for bfd, binutils, ld,
and gdb seemed way more invasive.
* Last, the applicability check in largefile.m4 was modified only to
disable largefile support if really needed. To do so, it checks if
<sys/procfs.h> compiles with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined. If it
doesn't, the disabling only happens if gdb exists in-tree and isn't
disabled, otherwise (building binutils from a tarball), there's no
conflict.
What initially confused me was the check for $plugins here, which
originally caused the disabling not to take place. Since AC_PLUGINGS
does enable plugin support if <dlfcn.h> exists (which it does on
Solaris), the disabling never happened.
I could find no explanation why the linker plugin needs large-file
support but thought it would be enough if gld and GCC's lto-plugin
agreed on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value. Unfortunately, that's not
enough: lto-plugin uses the simple-object interface from libiberty,
which includes off_t arguments. So to fully disable large-file
support would mean also disabling it in libiberty and its users: gcc
and libstdc++-v3. This seems highly undesirable, so I decided to
disable the linker plugin instead if large-file support won't work.
The patch allows binutils+gdb to build on i386-pc-solaris2.11 (both
Solaris 11.3 and 11.4, using GCC 9.3.0 which is the worst case due to
predefined _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). Also regtested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.11 (again on Solaris 11.3 and 11.4),
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and i686-pc-linux-gnu.

This commit removes a hack for GDB which was introduced in 2007.
See:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2007-08/msg00044.html
That hack mostly allowed GDB's handling of core files to continue to
work without any changes to GDB.
The problem with setting the section size to zero is that GDB won't
know how big that section is/was. Often, this doesn't matter because
the data in question are found in the exec file. But it can happen
that the section describes memory that had been allocated, but never
written to. In this instance, the contents of that memory region are
not written to the core file. Also, since the region in question was
dynamically allocated, it won't appear in the exec file. We don't
want these regions to appear as inaccessible to GDB (since they *were*
accessible when the process was live), so it's important that GDB know
the size of the region.
I've made changes to GDB which correctly handles this case. When
attempting to access memory, GDB will first consider core file data
for which both SEC_ALLOC and SEC_HAS_CONTENTS is set. Next, if that
fails, GDB will attempt to find the data in the exec file. Finally,
if that also fails, GDB will attempt to access memory in the sections
which are flagged as SEC_ALLOC, but not SEC_HAS_CONTENTS.

When a coredump is generated, there are a few registers in
ARC HS that are put under a special section, namely ".reg-v2".
It is for backward compatibility reasons with older tools that
we have decided not to extend the generic ".reg" section.
This patch makes it possible to display the information better
regarding that section. Compare the output of "readelf" without
and with these changes:
$ readelf -n core # without the patch
...
LINUX 0x0000000c Unknown note type: (0x00000600)
description data: 78 08 00 00 2f 6c 64 2d 75 43 6c 69
$ readelf -n core # with the patch
...
LINUX 0x0000000c NT_ARC_V2 (ARC HS accumulator/extra registers)
description data: 78 08 00 00 2f 6c 64 2d 75 43 6c 69
In another commit (soon to be submitted), GDB will makes use of these
changes to parse the extra section and its registers.
