2022-03-16binutils/readelf: build against msgpack, dump NT_AMDGPU_METADATA note contentsSimon Marchi1-0/+18
The AMDGPU HSA OS ABI (code object v3 and above) defines the NT_AMDGPU_METADATA ELF note [1]. The content is a msgpack object describing, among other things, the kernels present in the code object and how to call them. I think it would be useful for readelf to be able to display the content of those notes. msgpack is a structured format, a bit like JSON, except not text-based. It is therefore possible to dump the contents in human-readable form without knowledge of the specific layout of the note. Add configury to binutils to optionally check for the msgpack C library [2]. Add There is a new --with{,out}-msgpack configure flag, and the actual library lookup is done using pkg-config. If msgpack support is enabled, dumping a NT_AMDGPU_METADATA note looks like: $ readelf --notes amdgpu-code-object Displaying notes found in: .note Owner Data size Description AMDGPU 0x0000040d NT_AMDGPU_METADATA (code object metadata) { "amdhsa.kernels": [ { ".args": [ { ".address_space": "global", ".name": "out.coerce", ".offset": 0, ".size": 8, ".value_kind": "global_buffer", }, <snip> If msgpack support is disabled, dump the contents as hex, as is done with notes that are not handled in a special way. This allows one to decode the contents manually (maybe using a command-line msgpack decoder) if really needed.

Handle the NT_AMDGPU_METADATA note, which is described here: https://llvm.org/docs/AMDGPUUsage.html#code-object-v3-note-records As of this patch, just print out the name, not the contents, which is in the msgpack format. binutils/ChangeLog: * readelf.c (get_amdgpu_elf_note_type): New.

2022-03-16binutils/readelf: decode AMDGPU-specific e_flagsSimon Marchi1-0/+6
Decode and print the AMDGPU-specific fields of e_flags, as documented here: https://llvm.org/docs/AMDGPUUsage.html#header That is: - The specific GPU model - Whether the xnack and sramecc features are enabled The result looks like: - Flags: 0x52f + Flags: 0x52f, gfx906, xnack any, sramecc any The flags for the "HSA" OS ABI are properly versioned and documented on that page. But the NONE, PAL and MESA3D OS ABIs are not well documented nor versioned. Taking a peek at the LLVM source code, we see that they encode their flags the same way as HSA v3. For example, for PAL: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/c8b614cd74a92d85936aed5ac7c642af75ffdc29/llvm/lib/Target/AMDGPU/MCTargetDesc/AMDGPUTargetStreamer.cpp#L601 So for those other OS ABIs, we read them the same as HSA v3. binutils/ChangeLog: * readelf.c: Include elf/amdgcn.h.

2022-03-15Fix bug in dwarf-mode.elTom Tromey1-0/+5
I noticed that, occasionally, dwarf-mode would think that the objdump subprocess was still running after it had clearly exited. I managed to reliably reproduce this today and learned that a process sentinel is not guaranteed to be run with the current buffer set to the process buffer. This patch fixes the problem. I've bumped the version number of dwarf-mode.el to make it easier to install for users who already have an earlier one installed. I'm checking this in. 2022-03-15 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * dwarf-mode.el: Now 1.7. (dwarf--sentinel): Switch to the process buffer.

2022-03-06MIPS/opcodes: Fix alias annotation for branch instructionsMaciej W. Rozycki1-0/+19
Correct issues with INSN2_ALIAS annotation for branch instructions: - regular MIPS BEQZ/L and BNEZ/L assembly instructions are idioms for BEQ/L and BNE/L respectively with the `rs' operand equal to $0, - microMIPS 32-bit BEQZ and BNEZ assembly instructions are idioms for BEQ and BNE respectively with the `rt' operand equal to $0, - regular MIPS BAL assembly instruction is an idiom for architecture levels of up to the MIPSr5 ISA and a machine instruction on its own from the MIPSr6 ISA up. Add missing annotation to BEQZ/L and BNEZ/L accordingly then and add a new entry for BAL for the MIPSr6 ISA, correcting a disassembly bug: $ mips-linux-gnu-objdump -m mips:isa64r6 -M no-aliases -d bal.o bal.o: file format elf32-tradlittlemips Disassembly of section .text: 00000000 <foo>: 0: 04110000 0x4110000 ... $ Add test cases accordingly.

2021-10-25binutils, ld: make objdump --ctf's parameter optionalNick Alcock1-0/+7
ld by default (and always, unless adjusted with a hand-rolled linker script) emits deduplicated CTF into the .ctf section. But viewing it needs you to explicitly tell objdump this: it doesn't default its argument, even though what you always end up typing is --ctf=.ctf. This is annoying, so make the argument optional. binutils/ChangeLog 2021-10-25 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * objdump.c (usage): --ctf now has an optional argument. (main): Adjust accordingly. (dump_ctf): Default it. * doc/ctf.options.texi: Adjust. ld/ChangeLog 2021-10-25 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * testsuite/ld-ctf/array.d: Change --ctf=.ctf to --ctf. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-cycle-1.B-1.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-cycle-1.B-2.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-cycle-1.parent.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-cycle-2.A-1.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-cycle-2.A-2.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-cycle-2.parent.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-cycle-3.C-1.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-cycle-3.C-2.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-cycle-3.parent.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-enums.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-typedefs.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/cross-tu-cyclic-conflicting.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/cross-tu-cyclic-nonconflicting.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/cross-tu-into-cycle.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/cross-tu-noncyclic.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/cycle-1.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/cycle-2.A.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/cycle-2.B.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/cycle-2.C.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/data-func-conflicted.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/diag-cttname-null.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/diag-cuname.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/diag-parlabel.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/enum-forward.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/enums.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/forward.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/function.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/nonrepresentable.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/slice.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-ctf/super-sub-cycles.d: Likewise.
2021-10-25binutils: make objdump/readelf --ctf-parent actually usefulNick Alcock1-0/+16
This option has been present since the very early days of the development of libctf as part of binutils, and it shows. Back in the earliest days, I thought we might handle ambiguous types by introducing new ELF sections on the fly named things like .ctf.foo.c for ambiguous types found only in foo.c, etc. This turned out to be a terrible idea, so we moved to using a CTF archive in the .ctf section which contained all the CTF dictionaries -- but the --ctf-parent option in objdump and readelf was never adjusted, and lingered as a mechanism to specify CTF parent dictionaries in sections other than .ctf, even though the linker has no way to produce parent dictionaries in different sections from their children, libctf's ctf_open can't handle such split-up parent/child dicts, and they are never found in the wild, emitted by GNU ld or by any known third-party linking tool. Meanwhile, the actually-useful ctf_link feature (albeit not used by ld) which lets you remap the names of CTF archive members (so you can end up with a parent archive member named something other than ".ctf", still contained with all its children in a single .ctf section) had no support in objdump or readelf: there was no way to tell them that these members were parents, so all the types in the associated child dicts always appeared corrupted, referencing nonexistent types from a parent objdump couldn't find. So adjust --ctf-parent so that rather than taking a section name it takes a member name instead (if not specified, the name is ".ctf", which is what GNU ld emits). Because the option was always useless before now, this is expected to have no backward-compatibility implications. As part of this, we have to slightly adjust the code which skips the archive member name if redundant: right now it skips it if it's ".ctf", on the assumption that this name will almost always be at the start of the objdump output and thus we'll end up with a shared dump and then smaller, headed dumps for the per-TU child dicts; but if the parent name has been changed, that won't be true any more. So change the rules to "members named .ctf which appear first in the first have their member name skipped". Since we now need to count members, move from ctf_archive_iter (for which passing in extra parameters requires defining a new struct and is clumsy) to ctf_archive_next, allowing us to just *call* dump_ctf_archive_member and maintain a member count in the obvious way. In the process we fix a tiny difference between readelf and objdump: if a ctf_dump ever failed, readelf skipped every later member, while objdump tried to keep going as much as it could. For a dumping tool the former is clearly preferable. binutils/ChangeLog 2021-10-25 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * objdump.c (usage): --ctf-parent now takes a name, not a section. (dump_ctf): Don't open a separate section; use the parent_name in ctf_dict_open instead. Use ctf_archive_next, not ctf_archive_iter, so we can pass down a member count. (dump_ctf_archive_member): Add the member count; don't return anything. Import parents into children no matter what the parent's name, while still avoiding displaying the header for the common parent name of ".ctf". * readelf.c (usage): Adjust similarly. (dump_section_as_ctf): Likewise. (dump_ctf_archive_member): Likewise. Never stop iterating over archive members, even if ctf_dump of one member fails. * doc/ctf.options.texi: Adjust.
