This commit fixes a compilation warning when compiling libctf
on MinGW:
libctf/ctf-dump.c:118:8: warning: implicit declaration of function
'asprintf'; did you mean 'vasprintf'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
if (asprintf (&bit, " %lx: [slice 0x%x:0x%x]",
^~~~~~~~
vasprintf
MinGW doesn't provide that function, so we depend on the one provided
by libiberty. However, the declaration is guarded by HAVE_DECL_ASPRINTF,
which we do not have in libctf's config.h.
libctf/ChangeLog:
PR binutils/25155:
* configure.ac: Add AC_CHECK_DECLS([asprintf]).
* configure, config.h.in: Regenerate.

Apparently [1], if we have a function with `inline` but not `static`,
there should be a compilation unit defining the symbol too.
Alternatively, making those functions `static` fixes that.

A little tabdamage predating the linker patch series has crept in.

Calling ctf_import (fp, NULL) to cancel out a pre-existing import leaked
the refcnt increment on the parent, so it could never be freed.

ctf_import after the first for a given file.

ctf_dump calls ctf_str_append extensively but never checks to see if it
returns NULL (on OOM). If it ever does, we truncate the string we are
appending to and leak it!
Instead, create a variant of ctf_str_append that returns the *original
string* on OOM, and use it in ctf-dump. It is far better to omit a tiny
piece of a dump on OOM than to omit a bigger piece, and it is also
better to do this in what is after all purely debugging code than it is
to uglify ctf-dump.c with huge numbers of checks for the out-of-memory
case. Slightly truncated debugging output is better than no debugging
output at all and an out-of-memory message.

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).

If you call ctf_type_encoding() on a slice, you are meant to get the
encoding of the slice with the format of the underlying type. If
you call it on a non-int, non-fp, non-slice, you're meant to get the
error ECTF_INTNOTFP.
None of this was implemented for types in the dynamic space (which, now,
is *all* types in writable containers). Instead, we were always
returning the encoding as if it were a float, which for all other types
consulted the wrong part of a discriminated union and returned garbage.
(Curiously, existing users were more disturbed by the lack of an error
in the non-int/fp/slice case than they were about getting garbage back.)
libctf/
* ctf-types.c (ctf_type_encoding): Fix the dynamic case to
work right for non-int/fps.

The code to handle structures (and unions) that refer to themselves in
ctf_add_type is extremely dodgy. It works by looking through the list
of not-yet-committed types for a structure with the same name as the
structure in question and assuming, if it finds it, that this must be a
reference to the same type. This is a linear search that gets ever
slower as the dictionary grows, requiring you to call ctf_update at
intervals to keep performance tolerable: but if you do that, you run
into the problem that if a forward declared before the ctf_update is
changed to a structure afterwards, ctf_update explodes.
The last commit fixed most of this: this commit can use it, adding a new
ctf_add_processing hash that tracks source type IDs that are currently
being processed and uses it to avoid infinite recursion rather than the
dynamic type list: we split ctf_add_type into a ctf_add_type_internal,
so that ctf_add_type itself can become a wrapper that empties out this
being-processed hash once the entire recursive type addition is over.
Structure additions themselves avoid adding their dependent types
quite so much by checking the type mapping and avoiding re-adding types
we already know we have added.
We also add support for adding forwards to dictionaries that already
contain the thing they are a forward to: we just silently return the
original type.
v4: return existing struct/union/enum types properly, rather than using
an uninitialized variable: shrinks sizes of CTF sections back down
to roughly where they were in v1/v2 of this patch series.
v5: fix tabdamage.
libctf/
* ctf-impl.h (ctf_file_t) <ctf_add_processing>: New.
* ctf-open.c (ctf_file_close): Free it.
* ctf-create.c (ctf_serialize): Adjust.
(membcmp): When reporting a conflict due to an error, report the
error.
(ctf_add_type): Turn into a ctf_add_processing wrapper. Rename to...
(ctf_add_type_internal): ... this. Hand back types we are already
in the middle of adding immediately. Hand back structs/unions with
the same number of members immediately. Do not walk the dynamic
list. Call ctf_add_type_internal, not ctf_add_type. Handle
forwards promoted to other types and the inverse case identically.
Add structs to the mapping as soon as we intern them, before they
gain any members.

The method of operation of libctf when the dictionary is writable has
before now been that types that are added land in the dynamic type
section, which is a linked list and hash of IDs -> dynamic type
definitions (and, recently a hash of names): the DTDs are a bit of CTF
representing the ctf_type_t and ad hoc C structures representing the
vlen. Historically, libctf was unable to do anything with these types,
not even look them up by ID, let alone by name: if you wanted to do that
say if you were adding a type that depended on one you just added) you
called ctf_update, which serializes all the DTDs into a CTF file and
reopens it, copying its guts over the fp it's called with. The
ctf_updated types are then frozen in amber and unchangeable: all lookups
will return the types in the static portion in preference to the dynamic
portion, and we will refuse to re-add things that already exist in the
static portion (and, of late, in the dynamic portion too). The libctf
machinery remembers the boundary between static and dynamic types and
looks in the right portion for each type. Lots of things still don't
quite work with dynamic types (e.g. getting their size), but enough
works to do a bunch of additions and then a ctf_update, most of the
time.
Except it doesn't, because ctf_add_type finds it necessary to walk the
full dynamic type definition list looking for types with matching names,
so it gets slower and slower with every type you add: fixing this
requires calling ctf_update periodically for no other reason than to
avoid massively slowing things down.
This is all clunky and very slow but kind of works, until you consider
that it is in fact possible and indeed necessary to modify one sort of
type after it has been added: forwards. These are necessarily promoted
to structs, unions or enums, and when they do so *their type ID does not
change*. So all of a sudden we are changing types that already exist in
the static portion. ctf_update gets massively confused by this and
allocates space enough for the forward (with no members), but then emits
the new dynamic type (with all the members) into it. You get an
assertion failure after that, if you're lucky, or a coredump.
So this commit rejigs things a bit and arranges to exclusively use the
dynamic type definitions in writable dictionaries, and the static type
definitions in readable dictionaries: we don't at any time have a mixture
of static and dynamic types, and you don't need to call ctf_update to
make things "appear". The ctf_dtbyname hash I introduced a few months
ago, which maps things like "struct foo" to DTDs, is removed, replaced
instead by a change of type of the four dictionaries which track names.
Rather than just being (unresizable) ctf_hash_t's populated only at
ctf_bufopen time, they are now a ctf_names_t structure, which is a pair
of ctf_hash_t and ctf_dynhash_t, with the ctf_hash_t portion being used
in readonly dictionaries, and the ctf_dynhash_t being used in writable
ones. The decision as to which to use is centralized in the new
functions ctf_lookup_by_rawname (which takes a type kind) and
ctf_lookup_by_rawhash, which it calls (which takes a ctf_names_t *.)
This change lets us switch from using static to dynamic name hashes on
the fly across the entirety of libctf without complexifying anything: in
fact, because we now centralize the knowledge about how to map from type
kind to name hash, it actually simplifies things and lets us throw out
quite a lot of now-unnecessary complexity, from ctf_dtnyname (replaced
by the dynamic half of the name tables), through to ctf_dtnextid (now
that a dictionary's static portion is never referenced if the dictionary
is writable, we can just use ctf_typemax to indicate the maximum type:
dynamic or non-dynamic does not matter, and we no longer need to track
the boundary between the types). You can now ctf_rollback() as far as
you like, even past a ctf_update or for that matter a full writeout; all
the iteration functions work just as well on writable as on read-only
dictionaries; ctf_add_type no longer needs expensive duplicated code to
run over the dynamic types hunting for ones it might be interested in;
and the linker no longer needs a hack to call ctf_update so that calling
ctf_add_type is not impossibly expensive.
There is still a bit more complexity: some new code paths in ctf-types.c
need to know how to extract information from dynamic types. This
complexity will go away again in a few months when libctf acquires a
proper intermediate representation.
You can still call ctf_update if you like (it's public API, after all),
but its only effect now is to set the point to which ctf_discard rolls
back.
Obviously *something* still needs to serialize the CTF file before
writeout, and this job is done by ctf_serialize, which does everything
ctf_update used to except set the counter used by ctf_discard. It is
automatically called by the various functions that do CTF writeout:
nobody else ever needs to call it.
With this in place, forwards that are promoted to non-forwards no longer
crash the link, even if it happens tens of thousands of types later.
v5: fix tabdamage.

GCC can emit references to type 0 to indicate that this type is one that
is not representable in the version of CTF it emits (for instance,
version 3 cannot encode vector types). Type 0 is already used in the
function section to indicate padding inserted to skip functions we do
not want to encode the type of, so using zero in this way is a good
extension of the format: but libctf reports such types as ECTF_BADID,
which is indistinguishable from file corruption via links to truly
nonexistent types with IDs like 0xDEADBEEF etc, which we really do want
to stop for.
In particular, this stops all traversals of types dead at this point,
preventing us from even dumping CTF files containing unrepresentable
types to see what's going on!
So add a new error, ECTF_NONREPRESENTABLE, which is returned by
recursive type resolution when a reference to a zero type is found. (No
zero type is ever emitted into the CTF file by GCC, only references to
one). We can't do much with types that are ultimately nonrepresentable,
but we can do enough to keep functioning.
Adjust ctf_add_type to ensure that top-level types of type zero and
structure and union members of ultimate type zero are simply skipped
without reporting an error, so we can copy structures and unions that
contain nonrepresentable members (skipping them and leaving a hole where
they would be, so no consumers downstream of the linker need to worry
about this): adjust the dumper so that we dump members of
nonrepresentable types in a simple form that indicates
nonrepresentability rather than terminating the dump, and do not falsely
assume all errors to be -ENOMEM: adjust the linker so that types that
fail to get added are simply skipped, so that both nonrepresentable
types and outright errors do not terminate the type addition, which
could skip many valid types and cause further errors when variables of
those types are added.
In future, when we gain the ability to call back to the linker to report
link-time type resolution errors, we should report failures to add all
but nonrepresentable types. But we can't do that yet.

This lets other programs read and write CTF-format data.
Two versioned shared libraries are created: libctf.so and
libctf-nobfd.so. They contain identical content except that
libctf-nobfd.so contains no references to libbfd and does not implement
ctf_open, ctf_fdopen, ctf_bfdopen or ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect, so it can be
used by programs that cannot use BFD, like readelf.

When we do a ctf_fdopen, we open things via bfd_fdopenr and set up a

This machinery has been broken for as long as Solaris has existed.
Forwards are meant to encode "struct foo;", "enum foo;" or "union
foo;". Obviously these all exist in distinct namespaces, so forwards
store the type kind they forward to in their ctt_type member
(which makes conceptual sense if you squint at it). The addition
machinery uses this to promote forwards to the appropriate type as
needed.
Unfortunately ctf_add_type does not: it checks the global namespace
(which is always wrong), and so fails with a spurious conflict if you
have, say, a typedef and then a forward comes along with the same name,
even if it's a forward to something like a struct. (This was observed
with <libio.h>, which has "struct _IO_FILE;" and also
"typedef struct _IO_FILE _IO_FILE"). We should look at the recorded
type kind and look in the appropriate namespace. We should also,
when creating the forward in the new container, use that type kind,
rather than just defaulting to CTF_K_STRUCT and hoping that what
eventually comes along is a struct.
This bug is as old as the first implementation of ctf_add_type in
Solaris. But we also want a new feature for the linker, closely-related
and touching the same code so we add it here: not only do we want a
forward followed by a struct/union/enum to promote the forward, but
we want want a struct/union/enum followed by a forward to act as a NOP
and return the existing type, because when we're adding many files
in succession to a target link, there will often be already-promoted
forwards (in the shape of a struct/union/enum) that want to unify
with duplicate forwards coming from other object files.
v5: fix tabdamage.
libctf/
* ctf-create.c (ctf_add_type): Look up and use the forwarded-to
type kind. Allow forwards to unify with pre-existing structs/
unions/enums.

Once the deduplicator is capable of actually detecting conflicting types
with the same name (i.e., not yet) we will place such conflicting types,
and types that depend on them, into CTF dictionaries that are the child
of the main dictionary we usually emit: currently, this will lead to the
.ctf section becoming a CTF archive rather than a single dictionary,
with the default-named archive member (_CTF_SECTION, or NULL) being the
main shared dictionary with most of the types in it.
By default, the sections are named after the compilation unit they come
from (complete path and all), with the cuname field in the CTF header
providing further evidence of the name without requiring the caller to
engage in tiresome parsing. But some callers may not wish the mapping
from input CU to output sub-dictionary to be purely CU-based.
The machinery here allows this to be freely changed, in two ways:
- callers can call ctf_link_add_cu_mapping to specify that a single
input compilation unit should have its types placed in some other CU
if they conflict: the CU will always be created, even if empty, so
the consuming program can depend on its existence. You can map
multiple input CUs to one output CU to force all their types to be
merged together: if some of *those* types conflict, the behaviour is
currently unspecified (the new deduplicator will specify it).
- callers can call ctf_link_set_memb_name_changer to provide a function
which is passed every CTF sub-dictionary name in turn (including
_CTF_SECTION) and can return a new name, or NULL if no change is
desired. The mapping from input to output names should not map two
input names to the same output name: if this happens, the two are not
merged but will result in an archive with two members with the same
name (technically valid, but it's hard to access the second
same-named member: you have to do an iteration over archive members).
This is used by the kernel's ctfarchive machinery (not yet upstream) to
encode CTF under member names like {module name}.ctf rather than
.ctf.CU, but it is anticipated that other large projects may wish to
have their own storage for CTF outside of .ctf sections and may wish to
have new naming schemes that suit their special-purpose consumers.

The compiler describes the name and type of all file-scope variables in
this section. Merging it at link time requires using the type mapping
added in the previous commit to determine the appropriate type for the
variable in the output, given its type in the input: we check the shared
container first, and if the type doesn't exist there, it must be a
conflicted type in the per-CU child, and the variable should go there
too. We also put the variable in the per-CU child if a variable with
the same name but a different type already exists in the parent: we
ignore any such conflict in the child because CTF cannot represent such
things, nor can they happen unless a third-party linking program has
overridden the mapping of CU to CTF archive member name (using machinery
added in a later commit).

This lets you call ctf_type_mapping (dest_fp, src_fp, src_type_id)
and get told what type ID the corresponding type has in the target
ctf_file_t. This works even if it was added by a recursive call, and
because it is stored in the target ctf_file_t it works even if we
had to add one type to multiple ctf_file_t's as part of conflicting
type handling.
We empty out this mapping after every archive is linked: because it maps
input to output fps, and we only visit each input fp once, its contents
are rendered entirely useless every time the source fp changes.

This is the start of work on the core of the linking mechanism for CTF
sections. This commit handles the type and string sections.
The linker calls these functions in sequence:
ctf_link_add_ctf: to add each CTF section in the input in turn to a
newly-created ctf_file_t (which will appear in the output, and which
itself will become the shared parent that contains types that all
TUs have in common (in all link modes) and all types that do not
have conflicting definitions between types (by default). Input files
that are themselves products of ld -r are supported, though this is
not heavily tested yet.
ctf_link: called once all input files are added to merge the types in
all the input containers into the output container, eliminating
duplicates.
ctf_link_add_strtab: called once the ELF string table is finalized and
all its offsets are known, this calls a callback provided by the
linker which returns the string content and offset of every string in
the ELF strtab in turn: all these strings which appear in the input
CTF strtab are eliminated from it in favour of the ELF strtab:
equally, any strings that only appear in the input strtab will
reappear in the internal CTF strtab of the output.
ctf_link_shuffle_syms (not yet implemented): called once the ELF symtab
is finalized, this calls a callback provided by the linker which
returns information on every symbol in turn as a ctf_link_sym_t. This
is then used to shuffle the function info and data object sections in
the CTF section into symbol table order, eliminating the index
sections which map those sections to symbol names before that point.
Currently just returns ECTF_NOTYET.
ctf_link_write: Returns a buffer containing either a serialized
ctf_file_t (if there are no types with conflicting definitions in the
object files in the link) or a ctf_archive_t containing a large
ctf_file_t (the common types) and a bunch of small ones named after
individual CUs in which conflicting types are found (containing the
conflicting types, and all types that reference them). A threshold
size above which compression takes place is passed as one parameter.
(Currently, only gzip compression is supported, but I hope to add lzma
as well.)
Lifetime rules for this are simple: don't close the input CTF files
until you've called ctf_link for the last time. We do not assume
that symbols or strings passed in by the callback outlast the
call to ctf_link_add_strtab or ctf_link_shuffle_syms.
Right now, the duplicate elimination mechanism is the one already
present as part of the ctf_add_type function, and is not particularly
good: it misses numerous actual duplicates, and the conflicting-types
detection hardly ever reports that types conflict, even when they do
(one of them just tends to get silently dropped): it is also very slow.
This will all be fixed in the next few weeks, but the fix hardly touches
any of this code, and the linker does work without it, just not as
well as it otherwise might. (And when no CTF section is present,
there is no effect on performance, of course. So only people using
a trunk GCC with not-yet-committed patches will even notice. By the
time it gets upstream, things should be better.)

Before now, we've been able to write CTF files to gzFile descriptors or
fds, and CTF archives to named files only.
Make this a bit less irregular by allowing CTF archives to be written
to fds with the new function ctf_arc_write_fd: also allow CTF
files to be written to a new memory buffer via ctf_write_mem.
(It would be nice to complete things by adding a new function to write
CTF archives to memory, but this is too difficult to do given the short
time the linker is expected to be writing them out: we will transition
to a better format in format v4, though we will always support reading

The CTF file format has always supported "external strtabs", which
internally are strtab offsets with their MSB on: such refs
get their strings from the strtab passed in at CTF file open time:
this is usually intended to be the ELF strtab, and that's what this
implementation is meant to support, though in theory the external
strtab could come from anywhere.
This commit adds support for these external strings in the ctf-string.c
strtab tracking layer. It's quite easy: we just add a field csa_offset
to the atoms table that tracks all strings: this field tracks the offset
of the string in the ELF strtab (with its MSB already on, courtesy of a
new macro CTF_SET_STID), and adds a new function that sets the
csa_offset to the specified offset (plus MSB). Then we just need to
avoid writing out strings to the internal strtab if they have csa_offset
set, and note that the internal strtab is shorter than it might
otherwise be.
(We could in theory save a little more time here by eschewing sorting
such strings, since we never actually write the strings out anywhere,
but that would mean storing them separately and it's just not worth the
complexity cost until profiling shows it's worth doing.)
We also have to go through a bit of extra effort at variable-sorting
time. This was previously using direct references to the internal
strtab: it couldn't use ctf_strptr or ctf_strraw because the new strtab
is not yet ready to put in its usual field (in a ctf_file_t that hasn't
even been allocated yet at this stage): but now we're using the external
strtab, this will no longer do because it'll be looking things up in the
wrong strtab, with disastrous results. Instead, pass the new internal
strtab in to a new ctf_strraw_explicit function which is just like
ctf_strraw except you can specify a ne winternal strtab to use.
But even now that it is using a new internal strtab, this is not quite
enough: it can't look up strings in the external strtab because ld
hasn't written it out yet, and when it does will write it straight to
disk. Instead, when we write the internal strtab, note all the offset
-> string mappings that we have noted belong in the *external* strtab to
a new "synthetic external strtab" dynhash, ctf_syn_ext_strtab, and look
in there at ctf_strraw time if it is set. This uses minimal extra
memory (because only strings in the external strtab that we actually use
are stored, and even those come straight out of the atoms table), but
let both variable sorting and name interning when ctf_bufopen is next
called work fine. (This also means that we don't need to filter out
spurious ECTF_STRTAB warnings from ctf_bufopen but can pass them back to
the caller, once we wrap ctf_bufopen so that we have a new internal
variant of ctf_bufopen etc that we can pass the synthetic external
strtab to. That error has been filtered out since the days of Solaris
libctf, which didn't try to handle the problem of getting external
strtabs right at construction time at all.)

The existing function ctf_type_iter lets you iterate over root-visible
types (types you can look up by name). There is no way to iterate over
non-root-visible types, which is troublesome because both the linker
and dumper want to do that.
So add a new function that can do it: the callback it takes accepts
an extra parameter which indicates whether the type is root-visible
or not.
include/
* ctf-api.h (ctf_type_all_f): New.
(ctf_type_iter_all): New.

* ctf_types.c (ctf_type_iter_all): New.

No code handles these yet, but our latest GCC patches are generating
them, so we have to be ready for them or erroneously conclude that we
have file corruption.
(This simultaneously fixes a longstanding bug, concealed because nothing
was generating anything in the object or function info sections, where
the end of the section was being tested against the wrong thing: it
would have walked over the entire contents of the variable section and
treated them as part of the function info section. This had to change
now anyway because the new sections have landed in between.)
include/
* ctf.h: Add object index and function index sections. Describe
them. Improve the description of the variable section and clarify
the constraints on backward-pointing type nodes.
(ctf_header): Add cth_objtidxoff, cth_funcidxoff.
libctf/
* ctf-open.c (init_symtab): Check for overflow against the right
section.

The code in ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect (which is the ultimate place where you
end up if you use ctf_open to open a CTF file and pull in the ELF string
and symbol tables) was written before it was possible to actually test
it, since the linker was not written. Now it is, it turns out that the
previous code was completely nonfunctional: it assumed that you could
load the symbol table via bfd_section_from_elf_index (...,elf_onesymtab())
and the string table via bfd_section_from_elf_index on the sh_link.
Unfortunately BFD loads neither of these sections in the conventional
fashion it uses for most others: the symbol table is immediately
converted into internal form (which is useless for our purposes, since
we also have to work in the absence of BFD for readelf, etc) and the
string table is loaded specially via bfd_elf_get_str_section which is
private to bfd/elf.c.
So make this function public, export it in elf-bfd.h, and use it from
libctf, which does something similar to what bfd_elf_sym_name and
bfd_elf_string_from_elf_section do. Similarly, load the symbol table
manually using bfd_elf_get_elf_syms and throw away the internal form
it generates for us (we never use it).
BFD allocates the strtab for us via bfd_alloc, so we can leave BFD to
deallocate it: we allocate the symbol table ourselves before calling
bfd_elf_get_elf_syms, so we still have to free it.
Also change the rules around what you are allowed to provide: It is
useful to provide a string section but no symbol table, because CTF
sections can legitimately have no function info or data object sections
while relying on the ELF strtab for some of their strings. So allow
that combination.
v4: adjust to upstream changes. ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect's first parameter
is potentially unused again (if BFD is not in use for this link
due to not supporting an ELF target).

The CTF header has before now been thrown away too soon to be dumped
using the ctf_dump() machinery used by objdump and readelf: instead, a
kludge involving debugging-priority dumps of the header offsets on every
open was used.
Replace this with proper first-class dumping machinery just like
everything else in the CTF file, and have objdump and readelf use it.
(The dumper already had an enum value in ctf_sect_names_t for this
purpose, waiting to be used.)
v5: fix tabdamage.
libctf/
* ctf-impl.h (ctf_file_t): New field ctf_openflags.

libctf supports dynamic upgrading of the type table as file format
versions change, but before now has not supported changes to the CTF
header. Doing this is complicated by the baroque storage method used:
the CTF header is kept prepended to the rest of the CTF data, just as
when read from the file, and written out from there, and is
endian-flipped in place.
This makes accessing it needlessly hard and makes it almost impossible
to make the header larger if we add fields. The general storage
machinery around the malloced ctf pointer (the 'ctf_base') is also
overcomplicated: the pointer is sometimes malloced locally and sometimes
assigned from a parameter, so freeing it requires checking to see if
that parameter was used, needlessly coupling ctf_bufopen and
ctf_file_close together.
So split the header out into a new ctf_file_t.ctf_header, which is
written out explicitly: squeeze it out of the CTF buffer whenever we
reallocate it, and use ctf_file_t.ctf_buf to skip past the header when
we do not need to reallocate (when no upgrading or endian-flipping is
required). We now track whether the CTF base can be freed explicitly
via a new ctf_dynbase pointer which is non-NULL only when freeing is
possible.
With all this done, we can upgrade the header on the fly and add new
fields as desired, via a new upgrade_header function in ctf-open.
As with other forms of upgrading, libctf upgrades older headers
automatically to the latest supported version at open time.
For a first use of this field, we add a new string field cth_cuname, and
a corresponding setter/getter pair ctf_cuname_set and ctf_cuname: this
is used by debuggers to determine whether a CTF section's types relate
to a single compilation unit, or to all compilation units in the
program. (Types with ambiguous definitions in different CUs have only
one of these types placed in the top-level shared .ctf container: the
rest are placed in much smaller per-CU containers, which have the shared
container as their parent. Since CTF must be useful in the absence of
DWARF, we store the names of the relevant CUs ourselves, so the debugger
can look them up.)
v5: fix tabdamage.
include/
* ctf-api.h (ctf_cuname): New function.
(ctf_cuname_set): Likewise.
* ctf.h: Improve comment around upgrading, no longer
implying that v2 is the target of upgrades (it is v3 now).
(ctf_header_v2_t): New, old-format header for backward
compatibility.
(ctf_header_t): Add cth_cuname: this is the first of several
header changes in format v3.
libctf/
* ctf-impl.h (ctf_file_t): New fields ctf_header, ctf_dynbase,
ctf_cuname, ctf_dyncuname: ctf_base and ctf_buf are no longer const.
* ctf-open.c (ctf_set_base): Preserve the gap between ctf_buf and
ctf_base: do not assume that it is always sizeof (ctf_header_t).
Print out ctf_cuname: only print out ctf_parname if set.
(ctf_free_base): Removed, ctf_base is no longer freed: free
ctf_dynbase instead.
(ctf_set_version): Fix spacing.
(upgrade_header): New, in-place header upgrading.
(upgrade_types): Rename to...
(upgrade_types_v1): ... this. Free ctf_dynbase, not ctf_base. No
longer track old and new headers separately. No longer allow for
header sizes explicitly: squeeze the headers out on upgrade (they
are preserved in fp->ctf_header). Set ctf_dynbase, ctf_base and
ctf_buf explicitly. Use ctf_free, not ctf_free_base.
(upgrade_types): New, also handle ctf_parmax updating.
(flip_header): Flip ctf_cuname.
(flip_types): Flip BUF explicitly rather than deriving BUF from
BASE.
(ctf_bufopen): Store the header in fp->ctf_header. Correct minimum
required alignment of objtoff and funcoff. No longer store it in
the ctf_buf unless that buf is derived unmodified from the input.
Set ctf_dynbase where ctf_base is dynamically allocated. Drop locals
that duplicate fields in ctf_file: move allocation of ctf_file
further up instead. Call upgrade_header as needed. Move
version-specific ctf_parmax initialization into upgrade_types. More
concise error handling.
(ctf_file_close): No longer test for null pointers before freeing.
Free ctf_dyncuname, ctf_dynbase, and ctf_header. Do not call
ctf_free_base.
(ctf_cuname): New.
(ctf_cuname_set): New.
* ctf-create.c (ctf_update): Populate ctf_cuname.
(ctf_gzwrite): Write out the header explicitly. Remove obsolescent
comment.
(ctf_write): Likewise.
(ctf_compress_write): Get the header from ctf_header, not ctf_base.
Fix the compression length: fp->ctf_size never counted the CTF
header. Simplify the compress call accordingly.

With a glibc before 2.9 (such as 2.8), there's <endian.h> but no
htole64 or le64toh, so you get, compiling binutils for any target:

../libctf/libctf.a(ctf-archive.o):/x/src/libctf/ctf-archive.c:545: more undefined references to `le64toh' follow
(etc)
Also, I see no bswap_identity_64 *anywhere* except in libctf/swap.h
(including current glibc) and I don't think calling an "identity"-
function is better than just plain "#define foo(x) (x)" anyway.
(Where does the idea of a bytestap.h bswap_identity_64 come from?)
Speaking of that, I should mention that I instrumented the condition
to observe that the WORDS_BIGENDIAN case passes too for a presumed
big-endian target and glibc-2.8: there is a bswap_64 present for that
version. Curiously, no test-case regressed with that instrumentation.
For the record, constructing binary blobs using text source to run
tests on, can be done by linking to --oformat binary (with most ELF
targets), but I guess that's seen as unnecessary roundabout perhaps
checking in binary files in the test-suite would be ok these days.
[...]
[nca: trimmed commit log slightly, updated changelog]
v5: fix tabdamage.

* ctf-endian.h: Don't assume htole64 and le64toh are always
present if HAVE_ENDIAN_H; also check if htole64 is defined.
[!WORDS_BIGENDIAN] (htole64, le64toh): Define as identity,
not bswap_identity_64.

This large patch removes the unnecessary bfd parameter from various
bfd section macros and functions. The bfd is hardly ever used and if
needed for the bfd_set_section_* or bfd_rename_section functions can
be found via section->owner except for the com, und, abs, and ind
std_section special sections. Those sections shouldn't be modified
anyway.
The patch also removes various bfd_get_section_<field> macros,
replacing their use with bfd_section_<field>, and adds
bfd_set_section_lma. I've also fixed a minor bug in gas where
compressed section renaming was done directly rather than calling
bfd_rename_section. This would have broken bfd_get_section_by_name
and similar functions, but that hardly mattered at such a late stage
in gas processing.

The first two of these allow you to get function type info and args out
of the types section give a type ID: astonishingly, this was missing
from libctf before now: so even though types of kind CTF_K_FUNCTION were
supported, you couldn't find out anything about them. (The existing
ctf_func_info and ctf_func_args only allow you to get info about
functions in the function section, i.e. given symbol table indexes, not
type IDs.)
The second of these allows you to get the raw undecorated name out of
the CTF section (strdupped for safety) without traversing subtypes to
build a full C identifier out of it. It's useful for things that are
already tracking the type kind etc and just need an unadorned name.

handle that always yields a spurious ECTF_OVERROLLBACK error ("Attempt
to roll back past a ctf_update") on ctf_rollback(), even if ctf_update
has never been called.
The fix is to start with a ctf_snapshot value higher than the zero value
that ctf_snapshot_lu ("last update CTF snapshot value") is initialized
to.

* ctf-create.c (ctf_create): Fix off-by-one error.

ctf.h states:
> [...] the CTF string table does not contain any duplicated strings.
Unfortunately this is entirely untrue: libctf has before now made no
attempt whatsoever to deduplicate the string table. It computes the
string table's length on the fly as it adds new strings to the dynamic
CTF file, and ctf_update() just writes each string to the table and
notes the current write position as it traverses the dynamic CTF file's
data structures and builds the final CTF buffer. There is no global
view of the strings and no deduplication.
Fix this by erasing the ctf_dtvstrlen dead-reckoning length, and adding
a new dynhash table ctf_str_atoms that maps unique strings to a list
of references to those strings: a reference is a simple uint32_t * to
some value somewhere in the under-construction CTF buffer that needs
updating to note the string offset when the strtab is laid out.
Adding a string is now a simple matter of calling ctf_str_add_ref(),
which adds a new atom to the atoms table, if one doesn't already exist,
and adding the location of the reference to this atom to the refs list
attached to the atom: this works reliably as long as one takes care to
only call ctf_str_add_ref() once the final location of the offset is
known (so you can't call it on a temporary structure and then memcpy()
that structure into place in the CTF buffer, because the ref will still
point to the old location: ctf_update() changes accordingly).
Generating the CTF string table is a matter of calling
ctf_str_write_strtab(), which counts the length and number of elements
in the atoms table using the ctf_dynhash_iter() function we just added,
populating an array of pointers into the atoms table and sorting it into
order (to help compressors), then traversing this table and emitting it,
updating the refs to each atom as we go. The only complexity here is
arranging to keep the null string at offset zero, since a lot of code in
libctf depends on being able to leave strtab references at 0 to indicate
'no name'. Once the table is constructed and the refs updated, we know
how long it is, so we can realloc() the partial CTF buffer we allocated
earlier and can copy the table on to the end of it (and purge the refs
because they're not needed any more and have been invalidated by the
realloc() call in any case).
The net effect of all this is a reduction in uncompressed strtab sizes
of about 30% (perhaps a quarter to a half of all strings across the
Linux kernel are eliminated as duplicates). Of course, duplicated
strings are highly redundant, so the space saving after compression is
only about 20%: when the other non-strtab sections are factored in, CTF
sizes shrink by about 10%.
No change in externally-visible API or file format (other than the
reduction in pointless redundancy).

We must call htab_remove_elt with an element (in this case, a mocked-up
one with only the key populated, since no reasonable hash function will
need the other fields), not with the key alone.

ctf_open (or, rather, ctf_fdopen, which underlies it) has several
endianness problems, even though it was written after the
endian-swapping code was implemented, so should have been endian-aware.
Even though the comment right above the relevant check says that it wil
check for CTF magic in any endianness, it only checks in the native
endianness, so opening raw LE CTF files on BE, or vice-versa, will fail.
It also checks the CTF version by hand, without ever endianness-swapping
the header, so that too will fail, and is entirely redundant because
ctf_simple_open does the job properly in any case. We have a similar
problem in the next if block, which checks for raw CTF archives: we are
checking in the native endianness while we should be doing a le64toh()
on it to check in little-endian form only: so opening CTF archives
created on the local machine will fail if the local machine is
big-endian.
Adding insult to injury, if ctf_simple_open then fails, we go on and try
to turn it into a single-element CTF archive regardless, throwing the
error away. Since this involves dereferencing null pointers it is not
likely to work very well.
libctf/
* ctf-open-bfd.c: Add swap.h and ctf-endian.h.
(ctf_fdopen): Check for endian-swapped raw CTF magic, and
little-endian CTF archive magic. Do not check the CTF version:
ctf_simple_open does that in endian-safe ways. Do not dereference
null pointers on open failure.

Testing of the first code to generate CTF_K_SLICEs on big-endian
revealed a bunch of new problems in this area. Most importantly, the
trick we did earlier to avoid wasting two bytes on padding in the
ctf_slice_t is best avoided: because it leads to the whole file after
that point no longer being naturally aligned, all multibyte accesses
from then on must use memmove() to avoid unaligned access on platforms
where that is fatal. In future, this is planned, but for now we are
still doing direct access in many places, so we must revert to making
ctf_slice_t properly aligned for storage in an array.
Rather than wasting bytes on padding, we boost the size of cts_offset
and cts_bits. This is still a waste of space (we cannot have offsets or
bits in bitfields > 256) but it cannot be avoided for now, and slices
are not so common that this will be a serious problem.
A possibly-worse endianness problem fixed at the same time involves
a codepath used only for foreign-endian, uncompressed CTF files, where
we were not copying the actual CTF data into the buffer, leading to
libctf reading only zeroes (or, possibly, uninitialized garbage).
Finally, when we read in a CTF file, we copy the header and work from
the copy. We were flipping the endianness of the header copy, and of
the body of the file buffer, but not of the header in the file buffer
itself: so if we write the file back out again we end up with an
unreadable frankenfile with header and body of different endiannesses.
Fix by flipping both copies of the header.
include/
* ctf.h (ctf_slice_t): Make cts_offset and cts_bits unsigned
short, so following structures are properly aligned.
libctf/
* ctf-open.c (get_vbytes_common): Return the new slice size.
(ctf_bufopen): Flip the endianness of the CTF-section header copy.
Remember to copy in the CTF data when opening an uncompressed
foreign-endian CTF file. Prune useless variable manipulation.

If we see a CTF type with a kind we do not recognize in its ctt_info
during opening, we cannot skip it and continue opening the file: if the
type kind is unknown, we do not know how long its vlen is, and we cannot
have skipped past it: so if we continue reading we will almost certainly
read in part of the vlen as if it were a new ctf_type_t.
Avoid this trouble by considering unknown type kinds to be a reason to
return ECTF_CORRUPT, just like everything else that reads in type kinds
does.
libctf/
* ctf-open.c (ctf_types): Fail when unidentified type kinds are
seen.

This is an essential first piece of info needed to debug both libctf
writing and reading problems, and we weren't recording it anywhere!
(This is a short-term fix: fairly soon, we will record all of this in a
form that outlives ctf_bufopen, and then ctf_dump() will be able to dump
it like it can everything else.)
libctf/
* ctf-open.c (ctf_bufopen): Dump header offsets into the debugging
output.
