We were failing to call prune_warnings appropriately, leading to
false-positive test failures on some platforms (observed on
sparclinux).
libctf/ChangeLog:
* testsuite/lib/ctf-lib.exp: Prune warnings from compiler and
linker output.
* testsuite/libctf-regression/libctf-repeat-cu.exp: Likewise,
and ar output too.

A missing paren led to an intended cast to avoid dependence on the size
of size_t in one argument of ctf_err_warn applying to the wrong type by
mistake.
libctf/ChangeLog:
* ctf-serialize.c (ctf_write_mem): Fix cast.

Right now, if you compile the same .c input repeatedly with CTF enabled
and different compilation flags, then arrange to link all of these
together, then things misbehave in various ways. libctf may conflate
either inputs (if the .o files have the same name, say if they are
stored in different .a archives), or per-CU outputs when conflicting
types are found: the latter can lead to entirely spurious errors when
it tries to produce multiple per-CU outputs with the same name
(discarding all but the last, but then looking for types in the earlier
ones which have just been thrown away).
Fixing this is multi-pronged. Both inputs and outputs need to be
differentiated in the hashtables libctf keeps them in: inputs with the
same cuname and filename need to be considered distinct as long as they
have different associated CTF dicts, and per-CU outputs need to be
considered distinct as long as they have different associated input
dicts. Right now there is nothing tying the two together other than the
CU name: fix this by introducing a new field in the ctf_dict_t named
ctf_link_in_out, which (for input dicts) points to the associated per-CU
output dict (if any), and for output dicts points to the associated
input dict. At creation time the name used is completely arbitrary:
it's only important that it be distinct if CTF dicts are distinct. So,
when a clash is found, adjust the CU name by sticking the number of
elements in the input on the end. At output time, the CU name will
appear in the linked object, so it matters a little more that it look
slightly less ugly: in conflicting cases, append an incrementing
integer, starting at 0.
This naming scheme is not very helpful, but it's hard to see what else
we can do. The input .o name may be the same. The input .a name is not
even visible to ctf_link, and even *that* might be the same, because
.a's can contain many members with the same name, all of which
participate in the link. All we really know is that the two have
distinct dictionaries with distinct types in them, and at least this way
they are all represented, any any symbols, variables etc referring to
those types are accurately stored.
(As a side-effect this also fixes a use-after-free and double-free when
errors are found during variable or symbol emission.)
Use the opportunity to prevent a couple of sources of problems, to wit
changing the active CU mappings when a link has already been done
(no effect on ld, which doesn't use CU mappings at all), and causing
multiple consecutive ctf_link's to have the same net effect as just
doing the last one (no effect on ld, which only ever does one
ctf_link) rather than having the links be a sort of half-incremental
not-really-intended mess.

When two types conflict and they are not types which can have forwards
(say, two arrays of different sizes with the same name in two different
TUs) the CTF deduplicator uses a popularity contest to decide what to
do: the type cited by the most other types ends up put into the shared
dict, while the others are relegated to per-CU child dicts.
This works well as long as one type *is* most popular -- but what if
there is a tie? If several types have the same popularity count,
we end up picking the first we run across and promoting it, and
unfortunately since we are working over a dynhash in essentially
arbitrary order, this means we promote a random one. So multiple
runs of ld with the same inputs can produce different outputs!
All the outputs are valid, but this is still undesirable.
Adjust things to use the same strategy used to sort types on the output:
when there is a tie, always put the type that appears in a CU that
appeared earlier on the link line (and if there is somehow still a tie,
which should be impossible, pick the type with the lowest type ID).
Add a testcase -- and since this emerged when trying out extern arrays,
check that those work as well (this requires a newer GCC, but since all
GCCs that can emit CTF at all are unreleased this is probably OK as
well).
Fix up one testcase that has slight type ordering changes as a result
of this change.

My previous nm patch handled all cases but one -- if the user set NM in
the environment to a path which contained an option, libtool's nm
detection tries to run nm against a copy of nm with the options in it:
e.g. if NM was set to "nm --blargle", and nm was found in /usr/bin, the
test would try to run "/usr/bin/nm --blargle /usr/bin/nm --blargle".
This is unlikely to be desirable: in this case we should run
"/usr/bin/nm --blargle /usr/bin/nm".
Furthermore, as part of this nm has to detect when the passed-in $NM
contains a path, and in that case avoid doing a path search itself.
This too was thrown off if an option contained something that looked
like a path, e.g. NM="nm -B../prev-gcc"; libtool then tries to run
"nm -B../prev-gcc nm" which rarely works well (and indeed it looks
to see whether that nm exists, finds it doesn't, and wrongly concludes
that nm -p or whatever does not work).
Fix all of these by clipping all options (defined as everything
including and after the first " -") before deciding whether nm
contains a path (but not using the clipped value for anything else),
and then removing all options from the path-modified nm before
looking to see whether that nm existed.
NM=my-nm now does a path search and runs e.g.
/usr/bin/my-nm -B /usr/bin/my-nm
NM=/usr/bin/my-nm now avoids a path search and runs e.g.
/usr/bin/my-nm -B /usr/bin/my-nm
NM="my-nm -p../wombat" now does a path search and runs e.g.
/usr/bin/my-nm -p../wombat -B /usr/bin/my-nm
NM="../prev-binutils/new-nm -B../prev-gcc" now avoids a path search:
../prev-binutils/my-nm -B../prev-gcc -B ../prev-binutils/my-nm
This seems to be all combinations, including those used by GCC bootstrap
(which, before this commit, fails to bootstrap when configured
--with-build-config=bootstrap-lto, because the lto plugin is now using
--export-symbols-regex, which requires libtool to find a working nm,
while also using -B../prev-gcc to point at the lto plugin associated
with the GCC just built.)
Regenerate all affected configure scripts.
* libtool.m4 (LT_PATH_NM): Handle user-specified NM with
options, including options containing paths.

libctf has always handled endianness differences by detecting
foreign-endian CTF dicts on the input and endian-flipping them: dicts
are always written in native endianness. This makes endian-awareness
very low overhead, but it means that the foreign-endian code paths
almost never get routinely tested, since "make check" usually reads in
dicts ld has just written out: only a few corrupted-CTF tests are
actually in fixed endianness, and even they only test the foreign-
endian code paths when you run make check on a big-endian machine.
(And the fix is surely not to add more .s-based tests like that, because
they are a nightmare to maintain compared to the C-code-based ones.)
To improve on this, add a new environment variable,
LIBCTF_WRITE_FOREIGN_ENDIAN, which causes libctf to unconditionally
endian-flip at ctf_write time, so the output is always in the wrong
endianness. This then tests the foreign-endian read paths properly
at open time.
Make this easier by restructuring the writeout code in ctf-serialize.c,
which duplicates the maybe-gzip-and-write-out code three times (once
for ctf_write_mem, with thresholding, and once each for
ctf_compress_write and ctf_write just so those can avoid thresholding
and/or compression). Instead, have the latter two call the former
with thresholds of 0 or (size_t) -1, respectively.
The endian-flipping code itself gains a bit of complexity, because
one single endian-flipper (flip_types) was assuming the input to be
in foreign-endian form and assuming it could pull things out of the
input once they had been flipped and make sense of them. At the
cost of a few lines of duplicated initializations, teach it to
read before flipping if we're flipping to foreign-endianness instead
of away from it.

The last section in a CTF dict is the string table, at an offset
represented by the cth_stroff header field. Its length is recorded in
the next field, cth_strlen, and the two added together are taken as the
size of the CTF dict. Upon opening a dict, we check that none of the
header offsets exceed this size, and we check when uncompressing a
compressed dict that the result of the uncompression is the same length:
but CTF dicts need not be compressed, and short ones are not.
Uncompressed dicts just use the ctf_size without checking it. This
field is thankfully almost unused: it is mostly used when reserializing
a dict, which can't be done to dicts read off disk since they're
read-only.
However, when opening an uncompressed foreign-endian dict we have to
copy it out of the mmaped region it is stored in so we can endian-
swap it, and we use ctf_size when doing that. When the cth_strlen is
corrupt, this can overrun.
Fix this by checking the ctf_size in all uncompressed cases, just as we
already do in the compressed case. Add a new test.
This came to light because various corrupted-CTF raw-asm tests had an
incorrect cth_strlen: fix all of them so they produce the expected
error again.

The CTF variable section is an optional (usually-not-present) section in
the CTF dict which contains name -> type mappings corresponding to data
symbols that are present in the linker input but not in the output
symbol table: the idea is that programs that use their own symbol-
resolution mechanisms can use this section to look up the types of
symbols they have found using their own mechanism.
Because these removed symbols (mostly static variables, functions, etc)
all have names that are unlikely to appear in the ELF symtab and because
very few programs have their own symbol-resolution mechanisms, a special
linker flag (--ctf-variables) is needed to emit this section.
Historically, we emitted only removed data symbols into the variable
section. This seemed to make sense at the time, but in hindsight it
really doesn't: functions are symbols too, and a C program can look them
up just like any other type. So extend the variable section so that it
contains all static function symbols too (if it is emitted at all), with
types of kind CTF_K_FUNCTION.
This is a little fiddly. We relied on compiler assistance for data
symbols: the compiler simply emits all data symbols twice, once into the
symtypetab as an indexed symbol and once into the variable section.
Rather than wait for a suitably adjusted compiler that does the same for
function symbols, we can pluck unreported function symbols out of the
symtab and add them to the variable section ourselves. While we're at
it, we do the same with data symbols: this is redundant right now
because the compiler does it, but it costs very little time and lets the
compiler drop this kludge and save a little space in .o files.

It looks like automake makes assumptions about its ability to build info
pages based on the GNU standard behavior of shipping info pages with the
distributions. So even though the info pages were conditionalized, and
automake disabled some of the targets, it was still creeping in by way
of unconditional INFO_DEPS settings.
We can workaround this by adding a stub target for the info page when
building info pages are disabled. This tricks automake into disabling
its own extended generation target. I'll follow up with the automake
folks to see what they think.

ctf_type_visit (used, among other things, by the type dumping code) was
aborting when it saw a nonrepresentable type anywhere: even a single
structure member with a nonrepresentable type caused an abort with
ECTF_NONREPRESENTABLE. This is not useful behaviour, given that the
abort comes from a type-resolution we are only doing in order to
determine whether the type is a structure or union. We know
nonrepresentable types can't be either, so handle that case and
pass the nonrepresentable type down.
(The added test verifies that the dumper now handles this case and
prints nonrepresentable structure members as it already does
nonrepresentable top-level types, rather than skipping the whole
structure -- or, without the previous commit, skipping the whole types
section.)

An off-by-one bug in the check for pptrtab lookup meant that we could
access the pptrtab past its bounds (*well* past its bounds),
particularly if we called ctf_lookup_by_name in a child dict with "*foo"
where "foo" is a type that exists in the parent but not the child and no
previous lookups by name have been carried out. (Note that "*foo" is
not even a valid thing to call ctf_lookup_by_name with: foo * is.
Nonetheless, users sometimes do call ctf_lookup_by_name with invalid
content, and it should return ECTF_NOTYPE, not crash.)
ctf_pptrtab_len, as its name suggests (and as other tests of it in
ctf-lookup.c confirm), is one higher than the maximum valid permissible
index, so the comparison is wrong.

Older (pre-upstreaming) GCC emits a function symtypetab section of a
format never read by any extant libctf. We can detect such CTF dicts by
the lack of the CTF_F_NEWFUNCINFO flag in their header, and we do so
when reading in the symtypetab section -- but if the set of symbols with
types is sufficiently sparse, even an older GCC will emit a function
index section.
In NEWFUNCINFO-capable compilers, this section will always be the exact
same length as the corresponding function section (each is an array of
uint32_t, associated 1:1 with each other). But this is not true for the
older compiler, for which the sections are different lengths. We check
to see if the function symtypetab section and its index are the same
length, but we fail to skip this check when this is not a NEWFUNCINFO
dict, and emit a spurious corruption error for a CTF dict we could
have perfectly well opened and used.
Fix trivial: check the flag (and fix the terrible grammar of the error
message at the same time).

Checking for linker versioning by just grepping ld --help output for
mentions of --version-script is inadequate now that Solaris 11.4
implements a --version-script with different semantics. Try linking a
test program with a small wildcard-using version script with each
supported set of flags in turn, to make sure that linker versioning is
not only advertised but actually works.
The Solaris "GNU-compatible" linker versioning is not quite
GNU-compatible enough, but we can work around the differences by
generating a new version script that removes the comments from the
original (Solaris ld requires #-style comments), and making another
version script for libctf-nonbfd in particular which doesn't mention any
of the symbols that appear in libctf.la, to avoid Solaris ld introducing
corresponding new NOTYPE symbols to match the version script.

This ensures that the CTF_LIBADD, which always contains at least this
when doing a shared link:
-L`pwd`/../libiberty/pic -liberty
appears in the link line before any requirements pulled in by libbfd.la,
which include -liberty but because it is install-time do not include the
-L`pwd`/../libiberty/pic portion (in an indirect dep like this, the path
comes from the libbfd.la file, and is an install path). libiberty also
appears after libbfd in the link line by virtue of libctf-nobfd.la,
because libctf-nobfd has to follow libbfd in the link line, and that
needs symbols from libiberty too.
Without this, an installed liberty might well be pulled in by libbfd,
and if --enable-install-libiberty is not specified this libiberty might
be completely incompatible with what is being installed and break either
or boht of libbfd and libctf. (The specific problem observed here is
that bsearch_r was not present, but other problems might easily be
observed in future too.)
Because ld links against libctf, this has a tendency to break the system
linker at install time too, if installing with --prefix=/usr. That's
quite unpleasant to recover from.

The top level Makefile, the ld Makefile and others, define
CC_FOR_TARGET to be a compiler for the binutils target machine. This
is the compiler that should be used for almost all tests with C
source. There are _FOR_TARGET versions of CFLAGS, CXX, and CXXFLAGS
too. This was all supposed to work with the testsuite .exp files
using CC for the target compiler, and CC_FOR_HOST for the host
compiler, with the makefiles passing CC=$CC_FOR_TARGET and
CC_FOR_HOST=$CC to the runtest invocation.
One exception to the rule of using CC_FOR_TARGET is the native-only ld
bootstrap test, which uses the newly built ld to link a copy of
itself. Since the files being linked were created with the host
compiler, the boostrap test should use CC and CFLAGS, in case some
host compiler option provides needed libraries automatically.
However, bootstrap.exp used CC where it should have used CC_FOR_HOST.
I set about fixing that problem, then decided that playing games in
the makefiles with CC was a bad idea. Not only is it confusing, but
other dejagnu code knows about CC_FOR_TARGET. See dejagnu/target.exp.
So this patch gets rid of the makefile variable renaming and changes
all the .exp files to use the correct _FOR_TARGET variables.
CC_FOR_HOST and CFLAGS_FOR_HOST disappear. A followup patch will
correct bootstrap.exp to use CFLAGS, and a number of other things I
noticed.

The tests currently in binutils are aimed at the original GCC-based
implementation of CTF, which emitted CTF directly from GCC's internal
representation. The approach now under review emits CTF from DWARF,
with an eye to eventually doing this for all non-DWARF debuginfo-like
formats GCC supports. It also uses a different flag to enable
CTF emission (-gctf rather than -gt).
Adjust the testsuite accordingly.
Given that the ld testsuite results are dependent on type ordering,
which we do not guarantee at all, it's amazing how little changes. We
see a few type ordering differences, slices change because the old GCC
was buggy (slices were emitted "backwards", from the wrong end of the
machine word) and its expected results were wrong, and GCC now emits the
underlying integral type for enumerated types, though CTF has no way to
record this yet (coming in v4).
GCC also now emits even hidden symbols into the symtab (and thus
symtypetab), so one symtypetab test changes its expected results
slightly to compensate.
Also add tests for the CTF_K_UNKNOWN nonrepresentable type: this
couldn't be done before now since the only GCC that emits CTF_K_UNKNOWN
for nonrepresentable types is the new one.

Before now, types that could not be encoded in CTF were represented as
references to type ID 0, which does not itself appear in the
dictionary. This choice is annoying in several ways, principally that it
forces generators and consumers of CTF to grow special cases for types
that are referenced in valid dicts but don't appear.
Allow an alternative representation (which will become the only
representation in format v4) whereby nonrepresentable types are encoded
as actual types with kind CTF_K_UNKNOWN (an already-existing kind
theoretically but not in practice used for padding, with value 0).
This is backward-compatible, because CTF_K_UNKNOWN was not used anywhere
before now: it was used in old-format function symtypetabs, but these
were never emitted by any compiler and the code to handle them in libctf
likely never worked and was removed last year, in favour of new-format
symtypetabs that contain only type IDs, not type kinds.
In order to link this type, we need an API addition to let us add types
of unknown kind to the dict: we let them optionally have names so that
GCC can emit many different unknown types and those types with identical
names will be deduplicated together. There are also small tweaks to the
deduplicator to actually dedup such types, to let opening of dicts with
unknown types with names work, to return the ECTF_NONREPRESENTABLE error
on resolution of such types (like ID 0), and to print their names as
something useful but not a valid C identifier, mostly for the sake of
the dumper.
Tests added in the next commit.

The address sanitizer contains a redirector that captures dlopen calls,
so checks for dlopen with AC_SEARCH_LIBS will always conclude that
dlopen is present when the sanitizer is on. This means it won't add
-ldl to LIBS even if needed, and the immediately-following attempt to
actually link with -lbfd will fail because libbfd also needs dlsym,
which ASAN does *not* contain a redirector for.
If we check for dlsym instead of dlopen, the check works whether ASAN is
on or off. (bfd uses both in close proximity: if it needs one, it will
always need the other.)

isqualifier, which is used by ctf_lookup_by_name to figure out if a

This makes it possible to use LIBCTF_DEBUG to debug things that happen
before the ctf_bfdopen_internal call that ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect eventually
thunks down to (symtab/strtab lookup, archive opening, etc).
This is not important for ctf_open callers, since ctf_fdopen already
calls libctf_init_debug, but ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect is a public entry point
that can be called directly (e.g. objdump and readelf both do so).

The previous commit started to error-check the lookup of
ctf_type_encoding for the underlying type that is internally done when
carrying out a ctf_type_encoding on a slice.
Unfortunately, enums have no encoding, so this has historically been
returning an error (which is ignored) and then populating the cte_format
with uninitialized data. Now the error is not ignored, this is
returning an error, which breaks linking of CTF containing bitfields of
enumerated type.
CTF format v3 does not record the actual underlying type of a enum, but
we can mock up something that is not *too* wrong, and that is at any
rate better than uninitialized data.

Out-of-memory errors initializing the string atoms table were

afterwards). Errors hashing types during deduplication were only
reported if they happened on the output dict, which is almost never the

is going to be one of the inputs). (The error was detected in both

This completes the job of unifying what was once three separate code
paths full of duplication for every function dealing with querying the
properties of struct and union members. The dynamic code path was
already removed: this change removes the distinction between small and
large members, by adding a helper that copies out members from the vlen,
expanding small members into large ones as it does so.
This makes it possible to have *more* representations of things like
structure members without needing to change the querying functions at
all. It also lets us check for buffer overruns more effectively,
verifying that we don't accidentally overrun the end of the vlen in
either the dynamic or static type case.

Eliminate the dynamic member storage for structs and unions as we have
for other dynamic types. This is much like the previous enum
elimination, except that structs and unions are the only types for which
a full-sized ctf_type_t might be needed. Up to now, this decision has
been made in the individual ctf_add_{struct,union}_sized functions and
duplicated in ctf_add_member_offset. The vlen machinery lets us
simplify this, always allocating a ctf_lmember_t and setting the
dtd_data's ctt_size to CTF_LSIZE_SENT: we figure out whether this is
really justified and (almost always) repack things down into a
ctf_stype_t at ctf_serialize time.
This allows us to eliminate the dynamic member paths from the iterators and
query functions in ctf-types.c in favour of always using the large-structure
vlen stuff for dynamic types (the diff is ugly but that's just because of the
volume of reindentation this calls for). This also means the large-structure
vlen stuff gets more heavily tested, which is nice because it was an almost
totally unused code path before now (it only kicked in for structures of size
>4GiB, and how often do you see those?)
The only extra complexity here is ctf_add_type. Back in the days of the
nondeduplicating linker this was called a ridiculous number of times for
countless identical copies of structures: eschewing the repeated lookups of the
dtd in ctf_add_member_offset and adding the members directly saved an amazing
amount of time. Now the nondeduplicating linker is gone, this is extreme
overoptimization: we can rip out the direct addition and use ctf_member_next and
ctf_add_member_offset, just like ctf_dedup_emit does.
We augment a ctf_add_type test to try adding a self-referential struct, the only
thing the ctf_add_type part of this change really perturbs.
This completes the elimination of dtd_u.

This is the first tricky one, the first complex multi-entry vlen
containing strings. To handle this in vlen form, we have to handle
pending refs moving around on realloc.
We grow vlen regions using a new ctf_grow_vlen function, and iterate
through the existing enums every time a grow happens, telling the string
machinery the distance between the old and new vlen region and letting
it adjust the pending refs accordingly. (This avoids traversing all
outstanding refs to find the refs that need adjusting, at the cost of
having to traverse one enum: an obvious major performance win.)
Addition of enums themselves (and also structs/unions later) is a bit
trickier than earlier forms, because the type might be being promoted
from a forward, and forwards have no vlen: so we have to spot that and
create it if needed.
Serialization of enums simplifies down to just telling the string
machinery about the string refs; all the enum type-lookup code loses all
its dynamic member lookup complexity entirely.
A new test is added that iterates over (and gets values of) an enum with
enough members to force a round of vlen growth.

The preceding change revealed a new bug: the string table is sorted for
better compression, so repeated serialization with type (or member)
additions in the middle can move strings around. But every
serialization flushes the set of refs (the memory locations that are
automatically updated with a final string offset when the strtab is
updated), so if we are not to have string offsets go stale, we must do
all ref additions within the serialization code (which walks the
complete set of types and symbols anyway). Unfortunately, we were adding
one ref in another place: the type name in the dynamic type definitions,
which has a ref added to it by ctf_add_generic.
So adding a type, serializing (via, say, one of the ctf_write
functions), adding another type with a name that sorts earlier, and
serializing again will corrupt the name of the first type because it no
longer had a ref pointing to its dtd entry's name when its string offset
was shifted later in the strtab to mae way for the other type.
To ensure that we don't miss strings, we also maintain a set of *pending
refs* that will be added later (during serialization), and remove
entries from that set when the ref is finally added. We always use
ctf_str_add_pending outside ctf-serialize.c, ensure that ctf_serialize
adds all strtab offsets as refs (even those in the dtds) on every
serialization, and mandate that no refs are live on entry to
ctf_serialize and that all pending refs are gone before strtab
finalization. (Of necessity ctf_serialize has to traverse all strtab
offsets in the dtds in order to serialize them, so adding them as refs
at the same time is easy.)
(Note that we still can't erase unused atoms when we roll back, though
we can erase unused refs: members and enums are still not removed by
rollbacks and might reference strings added after the snapshot.)

One pattern which is rarely done in libctf but which is meant to work is
this:
ctf_create();
ctf_add_*(); // add stuff
ctf_type_*() // look stuff up
ctf_write_*();
ctf_add_*(); // should still work
ctf_type_*() // so should this
ctf_write_*(); // and this
i.e., writing out a dict should not break it and you should be able to
do everything you could do with it before, including writing it out
again.
Unfortunately this has been broken for a while because the field which
indicates the maximum valid type ID was not preserved across
serialization: so type additions after serialization would overwrite
types (obviously disastrous) and type lookups would just fail.
Fix trivial.

One more member vanishes from the dtd_u, leaving only the member for
struct/union/enum members.
There's not much to do here, since as of commit afd78bd6f0a30ba5 we use
the same representation (type sizes, etc) in the dtu_argv as we will
use in the final vlen, with one exception: the vlen has alignment

This is even simpler than ints, floats and slices, with the only extra
complication being the need to manually transfer the array parameter in
the rarely-used function ctf_set_array. (Arrays are unique in libctf in
that they can be modified post facto, not just created and appended to.
I'm not sure why they got this exemption, but it's easy to maintain.)

This series eliminates a lot of special-case code to handle dynamic
types (types added to writable dicts and not yet serialized).
Historically, when such types have variable-length data in their final
CTF representations, libctf has always worked by adding such types to a
special union (ctf_dtdef_t.dtd_u) in the dynamic type definition
structure, then picking the members out of this structure at
serialization time and packing them into their final form.
This has the advantage that the ctf_add_* code doesn't need to know
anything about the final CTF representation, but the significant
disadvantage that all code that looks up types in any way needs two code
paths, one for dynamic types, one for all others. Historically libctf
"handled" this by not supporting most type lookups on dynamic types at
all until ctf_update was called to do a complete reserialization of the
entire dict (it didn't emit an error, it just emitted wrong results).
Since commit 676c3ecbad6e9c4, which eliminated ctf_update in favour of
the internal-only ctf_serialize function, all the type-lookup paths
grew an extra branch to handle dynamic types.
We can eliminate this branch again by dropping the dtd_u stuff and
simply writing out the vlen in (close to) its final form at ctf_add_*
time: type lookup for types using this approach is then identical for
types in writable dicts and types that are in read-only ones, and
serialization is also simplified (we just need to write out the vlen
we already created).
The only complexity lies in type kinds for which multiple
vlen representations are valid depending on properties of the type,
e.g. structures. But we can start simple, adjusting ints, floats,
and slices to work this way, and leaving everything else as is.

<dtd_u.dtu_slice>: Likewise.
<dtd_vlen>: New.
* ctf-create.c (ctf_add_generic): Perhaps allocate it. All
callers adjusted.
