2022-03-16binutils/readelf: build against msgpack, dump NT_AMDGPU_METADATA note contentsSimon Marchi1-0/+17
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. [1] https://llvm.org/docs/AMDGPUUsage.html#code-object-metadata [2] https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-c/tree/c_master binutils/ChangeLog: * Makefile.am (readelf_CFLAGS): New.

2022-01-02Update year range in copyright notice of binutils filesAlan Modra1-1/+1
The result of running etc/update-copyright.py --this-year, fixing all the files whose mode is changed by the script, plus a build with --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes, then checking out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently. The copy of cgen was with commit d1dd5fcc38ead reverted as that commit breaks building of bfp opcodes files.

2021-07-21Remove `netbsdpe` supportJohn Ericson1-1/+1
netbsdpe was deprecated in c2ce831330e10dab4703094491f80b6b9a5c2289. Since then, a release has passed (2.37), and it was marked obselete in 5c9cbf07f3f972ecffe13d858010b3179df17b32. Unless I am mistaken, that means we can now remove support altogether. All branches in the "active" code are remove, and the target is additionally marked as obsolete next to the other removed ones for libbfd and gdb. Per [1] from the NetBSD toolchain list, PE/COFF support was removed a decade ago. Furthermore, the sole mention of this target in the binutils commit history was in 2002. Together, I'm led to believe this target hasn't seen much attention in quite a while.

2020-06-26binutils, ld: work with --disable-libctfNick Alcock1-0/+6
This unfortunately means conditionalizing out all the libctf code, but the result is not too unbearably ugly, if a bit repetitive. I have stubbed out code in the !ENABLE_LIBCTF path to avoid extra redundant ifdefs where it seems that might be helpful. (The stubs are not too disruptive, but I've tried to keep them on one line where possible to avoid filling up the screen with stubs that nobody would care about. If this is too much of a coding style violation I can change it.)

This patch enables objdump and readelf to query debuginfod servers when they are otherwise not able to find separate debug files. Binutils can be built with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure option.

2018-06-19Bump to autoconf 2.69 and automake 1.15.1Simon Marchi1-1/+0
When trying to run the update-gnulib.sh script in gdb, I get this: Error: Wrong automake version (Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ =:+{}]+)}/ at /opt/automake/1.11.1/bin/automake line 4113.), we need 1.11.1. Aborting. Apparently, it's an issue with a regex in automake that triggers a warning starting with Perl 5.22. It has been fixed in automake 1.15.1. So I think it's a good excuse to bump the versions of autoconf and automake used in the gnulib import. And to avoid requiring multiple builds of autoconf/automake, it was suggested that we bump the required version of those tools for all binutils-gdb. For autoconf, the 2.69 version is universally available, so it's an easy choice. For automake, different distros and distro versions have different automake versions. But 1.15.1 seems to be the most readily available as a package. In any case, it's easy to build it from source. I removed the version checks from AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS and AC_PREREQ, because I don't think they are useful in our case. They only specify a lower bound for the acceptable version of automake/autoconf. That's useful if you let the user choose the version of the tool they want to use, but want to set a minimum version (because you use a feature that was introduced in that version). In our case, we force people to use a specific version anyway. For the autoconf version, we have the check in config/override.m4 that enforces the version we want. It will be one less thing to update next time we change autotools version. I hit a few categories of problems that required some changes. They are described below along with the chosen solutions. Problem 1: configure.ac:17: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see: configure.ac:17: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Modernize-AM_005fINIT_005fAUTOMAKE-invocation Solution 1: Adjust the code based on the example at that URL. Problem 2 (in zlib/): Makefile.am: error: required file './INSTALL' not found Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'INSTALL' Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found Makefile.am: error: required file './COPYING' not found Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'COPYING' Solution 2: Add the foreign option to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS. Problem 3: doc/Makefile.am:20: error: support for Cygnus-style trees has been removed Solution 3: Remove the cygnus options. Problem 4: Makefile.am:656: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS') Solution 4: Rename "INCLUDES = " to "AM_CPPFLAGS += " (because AM_CPPFLAGS is already defined earlier). Problem 5: doc/Makefile.am:71: warning: suffix '.texinfo' for Texinfo files is discouraged; use '.texi' instead doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops! doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack. doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES. doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.

2014-10-31In response to a public outcry the strings program now defaults to using theNick Clifton1-0/+12
--all option which displays text from anywhere in the input file(s). The default used to be --data, which only displays text from loadable data sections, but this requires the use of the BFD library. Since the BFD library almost certainly still contains buffer overrun and/or memory corruption bugs, and since the strings program is often used to examine malicious code, it was decided that the --data option option represents a possible security risk. * strings.c: Add new command line option --data to only scan the initialized, loadable data secions of binaries. Choose the default behaviour of --all or --data based upon a configure option. * doc/binutils.texi (strings): Update documentation. Include description of why the --data option might be unsafe. * configure.ac: Add new option --disable-default-strings-all which restores the old behaviour of strings using --data by default. If the option is not used make strings use --all by default. * NEWS: Mention the new behaviour of strings. * configure: Regenerate. * config.in: Regenerate.
2014-08-14configury changes to make ld plugin support controlled by --enable-pluginsAlan Modra1-1/+1
This also makes --enable-plugins default to on for hosts that can support plugins, so we have consistent lto toolchain support. The ACX_LARGEFILE moves aren't strictly necessary, but are harmless and will be necessary if plugin support is extended to more hosts via libtool's dlopen support. I started down that path then decided it was more work than I was interested in doing. (ACX_LARGEFILE invokes AC_PLUGINS.) config/ * plugins.m4: Test for dlfcn.h or windows.h here to set default for --enable-plugins.
