2015-07-14Make default compression gABI compliantH.J. Lu1-7/+9
All programs in binutils+gdb git repo now support gABI compression with the SHF_COMPRESSED bit.

2015-05-15Support AMD64/Intel ISAs in assembler/disassemblerH.J. Lu1-0/+4
AMD64 spec and Intel64 spec differ in direct unconditional branches in 64-bit mode. AMD64 supports direct unconditional branches with 16-bit offset via the data size prefix, which truncates RIP to 16 bits, while the data size prefix is ignored by Intel64. This patch adds -mamd64/-mintel64 option to x86-64 assembler and -Mamd64/-Mintel64 option to x86-64 disassembler. The most permissive ISA, which is AMD64, is the default. GDB can add an option, similar to (gdb) help set disassembly-flavor Set the disassembly flavor. The valid values are "att" and "intel", and the default value is "att". to select which ISA to disassemble. binutils/ PR binutis/18386 * doc/binutils.texi: Document -Mamd64 and -Mintel64. gas/ PR binutis/18386 * config/tc-i386.c (OPTION_MAMD64): New.

2014-10-31In response to a public outcry the strings program now defaults to using theNick Clifton1-10/+36
--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.
