2020-08-27libctf, binutils, include, ld: gettextize and improve error handlingNick Alcock1-15/+72
This commit follows on from the earlier commit "libctf, ld, binutils: add textual error/warning reporting for libctf" and converts every error in libctf that was reported using ctf_dprintf to use ctf_err_warn instead, gettextizing them in the process, using N_() where necessary to avoid doing gettext calls unless an error message is actually generated, and rephrasing some error messages for ease of translation. This requires a slight change in the ctf_errwarning_next API: this API is public but has not been in a release yet, so can still change freely. The problem is that many errors are emitted at open time (whether opening of a CTF dict, or opening of a CTF archive): the former of these throws away its incompletely-initialized ctf_file_t rather than return it, and the latter has no ctf_file_t at all. So errors and warnings emitted at open time cannot be stored in the ctf_file_t, and have to go elsewhere. We put them in a static local in ctf-subr.c (which is not very thread-safe: a later commit will improve things here): ctf_err_warn with a NULL fp adds to this list, and the public interface ctf_errwarning_next with a NULL fp retrieves from it. We need a slight exception from the usual iterator rules in this case: with a NULL fp, there is nowhere to store the ECTF_NEXT_END "error" which signifies the end of iteration, so we add a new err parameter to ctf_errwarning_next which is used to report such iteration-related errors. (If an fp is provided -- i.e., if not reporting open errors -- this is optional, but even if it's optional it's still an API change. This is actually useful from a usability POV as well, since ctf_errwarning_next is usually called when there's been an error, so overwriting the error code with ECTF_NEXT_END is not very helpful! So, unusually, ctf_errwarning_next now uses the passed fp for its error code *only* if no errp pointer is passed in, and leaves it untouched otherwise.) ld, objdump and readelf are adapted to call ctf_errwarning_next with a NULL fp to report open errors where appropriate. The ctf_err_warn API also has to change, gaining a new error-number parameter which is used to add the error message corresponding to that error number into the debug stream when LIBCTF_DEBUG is enabled: changing this API is easy at this point since we are already touching all existing calls to gettextize them. We need this because the debug stream should contain the errno's message, but the error reported in the error/warning stream should *not*, because the caller will probably report it themselves at failure time regardless, and reporting it in every error message that leads up to it leads to a ridiculous chattering on failure, which is likely to end up as ridiculous chattering on stderr (trimmed a bit): CTF error: `ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c (0): lookup failure for type 3: flags 1: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable' CTF error: `ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c (0): struct/union member type hashing error during type hashing for type 80000001, kind 6: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable' CTF error: `deduplicating link variable emission failed for ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable' ld/.libs/lt-ld-new: warning: CTF linking failed; output will have no CTF section: `The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable' We only need to be told that the parent CTF dictionary is unavailable *once*, not over and over again! errmsgs are still emitted on warning generation, because warnings do not usually lead to a failure propagated up to the caller and reported there. Debug-stream messages are not translated. If translation is turned on, there will be a mixture of English and translated messages in the debug stream, but rather that than burden the translators with debug-only output. binutils/ChangeLog 2020-08-27 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * objdump.c (dump_ctf_archive_member): Move error- reporting...

2020-07-22libctf: drop error-prone ctf_strerrorNick Alcock1-6/+0
This utility function is almost useless (all it does is casts the result of a strerror) but has a seriously confusing name. Over and over again I have accidentally called it instead of ctf_errmsg, and hidden a time-bomb for myself in a hard-to-test error-handling path: since ctf_strerror is just a strerror wrapper, it cannot handle CTF errnos, unlike ctf_errmsg. It's astonishingly lucky that none of these errors have crept into any commits to date. Fuse it into ctf_errmsg and drop it. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h (ctf_strerror): Delete. * ctf-subr.c (ctf_strerror): Likewise. * ctf-error.c (ctf_errmsg): Stop using ctf_strerror: just use strerror directly.
2020-07-22libctf, ld, binutils: add textual error/warning reporting for libctfNick Alcock1-0/+93
This commit adds a long-missing piece of infrastructure to libctf: the ability to report errors and warnings using all the power of printf, rather than being restricted to one errno value. Internally, libctf calls ctf_err_warn() to add errors and warnings to a list: a new iterator ctf_errwarning_next() then consumes this list one by one and hands it to the caller, which can free it. New errors and warnings are added until the list is consumed by the caller or the ctf_file_t is closed, so you can dump them at intervals. The caller can of course choose to print only those warnings it wants. (I am not sure whether we want objdump, readelf or ld to print warnings or not: right now I'm printing them, but maybe we only want to print errors? This entirely depends on whether warnings are voluminous things describing e.g. the inability to emit single types because of name clashes or something. There are no users of this infrastructure yet, so it's hard to say.) There is no internationalization here yet, but this at least adds a place where internationalization can be added, to one of ctf_errwarning_next or ctf_err_warn. We also provide a new ctf_assert() function which uses this infrastructure to provide non-fatal assertion failures while emitting an assert-like string to the caller: to save space and avoid needlessly duplicating unchanging strings, the assertion test is inlined but the print-things-out failure case is not. All assertions in libctf will be converted to use this machinery in future commits and propagate assertion-failure errors up, so that the linker in particular cannot be killed by libctf assertion failures when it could perfectly well just print warnings and drop the CTF section. include/ * ctf-api.h (ECTF_INTERNAL): Adjust error text.

2020-07-22libctf: having debugging enabled is unlikelyNick Alcock1-1/+1
The deduplicator can emit enormous amounts of debugging output, so much so that a later commit will introduce a new configure flag that configures most of it out (and configures it out by default). It became clear that when this configure flag is on, but debugging is not enabled via the LIBCTF_DEBUG environment variable, up to 10% of runtime can be spent on branch mispredictions checking the _libctf_debug variable. Mark it unlikely to be set (when it is set, performance is likely to be the least of your concerns). libctf/ * ctf-subr.c (ctf_dprintf): _libctf_debug is unlikely to be set.

2019-10-03libctf: remove ctf_malloc, ctf_free and ctf_strdupNick Alcock1-12/+0
These just get in the way of auditing for erroneous usage of strdup and add a huge irregular surface of "ctf_malloc or malloc? ctf_free or free? ctf_strdup or strdup?" ctf_malloc and ctf_free usage has not reliably matched up for many years, if ever, making the whole game pointless. Go back to malloc, free, and strdup like everyone else: while we're at it, fix a bunch of places where we weren't properly checking for OOM. This changes the interface of ctf_cuname_set and ctf_parent_name_set, which could strdup but could not return errors (like ENOMEM).

2019-06-21libctf: drop mmap()-based CTF data allocatorNick Alcock1-51/+0
This allocator has the ostensible benefit that it lets us mprotect() the memory used for CTF storage: but in exchange for this it adds considerable complexity, since we have to track allocation sizes ourselves for use at freeing time, note whether the data we are storing was ctf_data_alloc()ed or not so we know if we can safely mprotect() it... and while the mprotect()ing has found few bugs, it *has* been the cause of more than one due to errors in all this tracking leading to us mprotect()ing bits of the heap and stuff like that. We are about to start composing CTF buffers from pieces so that we can do usage-based optimizations on the strtab. This means we need realloc(), which needs nonportable mremap() and *more* tracking of the *original* allocation size, and the complexity and bureaucracy of all of this is just too high for its negligible benefits. Drop the whole thing and just use malloc() like everyone else. It knows better than we do when it is safe to use mmap() under the covers, anyway. While we're at it, don't leak the entire buffer if ctf_compress_write() fails to compress it. libctf/ * ctf-subr.c (_PAGESIZE): Remove. (ctf_data_alloc): Likewise. (ctf_data_free): Likewise.

2019-05-28libctf: lowest-level memory allocation and debug-dumping wrappersNick Alcock1-0/+232
The memory-allocation wrappers are simple things to allow malloc interposition: they are only used inconsistently at present, usually where malloc debugging was required in the past. These provide a default implementation that is environment-variable triggered (initialized on the first call to the libctf creation and file-opening functions, the first functions people will use), and a ctf_setdebug()/ctf_getdebug() pair that allows the caller to explicitly turn debugging off and on. If ctf_setdebug() is called, the automatic setting from an environment variable is skipped. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h: New file. * ctf-subr.c: New file. include/ * ctf-api.h (ctf_setdebug): New.
