This lets you examine CTF where the parent and child dicts are in entirely
different sections, rather than in a CTF archive with members with different
names. The linker doesn't emit ELF objects structured like this, but some
third-party linkers may; it's also useful for objcopy-constructed files
in some cases.
(This is what the objdump --ctf-parent option used to do before commit
80b56fad5c in 2021. The new semantics of that option are much more
useful, but that doesn't mean the old ones are never useful at all, so let's
bring them back.)
(I was specifically driven to add this by DTrace's obscure "ctypes" and
"dtypes" options, which dump its internal, dynamically-generated dicts out
to files for debugging purposes: there are two, one the parent of the other.
Since they're in two separate files rather than a CTF archive and we have no
tools that paste files together into archives, objdump wouldn't show them --
and even pasting them together into an ELF executable with objcopy didn't
help, since objdump had no options that could be used to look in specific
sections for the parent dict. With --ctf-parent-section, this sort of
obscure use case becomes possible again. You'll never need it for the
output of the normal linker.)

There is some inconsistency between the behaviour of objdump -D and
objdump -s, both supposedly operating on all sections by default.
objdump -s ignores bss sections, while objdump -D dissassembles the
zeros. Fix this by making objdump -D ignore bss sections too.
Furthermore, "objdump -s -j .bss" doesn't dump .bss as it should,
since the user is specifically asking to look at all those zeros.
This change does find some tests that used objdump -D with expected
output in bss-style sections. I've updated all the msp430 tests that
just wanted to find a non-empty section to look at section headers
instead, making the tests slightly more stringent. The ppc xcoff and
spu tests are fixed by adding -j options to objdump, which makes the
tests somewhat more lenient.

It has bothered me for a long time that we have disabled LSP (and SPE)
tests. Also the LSP test comment indicating there is something wrong
with get_powerpc_dialect. I don't think there is. Decoding of a VLE
instruction depends on whether the processor is in VLE mode (some
processors support both VLE and standard PPC) which we flag per
section with SHF_PPC_VLE for decoding when disassembling.
Background: Some versions of powerpc e200 have "Lightweight Signal
Processing" support, examples being e200z215 and e200z425. As far as
I can tell, LSP and SPE are mutually exclusive. This seems to be
borne out by insn encoding, for example LSP "zvaddih" and SPE "evaddw"
have the same encoding. So none of the processor descriptions in
ppc_opts ought to have both PPC_OPCODE_LSP and PPC_OPCODE_SPE/2, if we
want disassembly to work. I also could not find anything to suggest
that the LSP insns are enabled only in VLE mode, which means the LSP
insns should not be in vle_opcodes.
Fix all this by moving the LSP insns to their own table, and add a new
e200z2 cpu entry with LSP support, removing LSP from -me200z4 and from
-mvle. (Yes, I know, as I said above some of the e200z4 processors
have LSP. Others have SPE. It's hard to choose good options. Think
of z2 as meaning earlier, z4 as later.) Also add -mlsp to allow
adding the LSP insn set.

This commit adds the _option_ of having disassembler output syntax
highlighted in objdump. This option is _off_ by default. The new
command line options are:
--disassembler-color=off # The default.
--disassembler-color=color
--disassembler-color=extended-color
I have implemented two colour modes, using the same option names as we
use of --visualize-jumps, a basic 8-color mode ("color"), and an
extended 8bit color mode ("extended-color").
The syntax highlighting requires that each targets disassembler be
updated; each time the disassembler produces some output we now pass
through an additional parameter indicating what style should be
applied to the text.
As updating all target disassemblers is a large task, the old API is
maintained. And so, a user of the disassembler (i.e. objdump, gdb)
must provide two functions, the current non-styled print function, and
a new, styled print function.
I don't currently have a plan for converting every single target
disassembler, my hope is that interested folk will update the
disassemblers they are interested in. But it is possible some might
never get updated.
In this initial series I intend to convert the RISC-V disassembler
completely, and also do a partial conversion of the x86 disassembler.
Hopefully having the x86 disassembler at least partial converted will
allow more people to try this out easily and provide feedback.
In this commit I have focused on objdump. The changes to GDB at this
point are the bare minimum required to get things compiling, GDB makes
no use of the styling information to provide any colors, that will
come later, if this commit is accepted.
This first commit in the series doesn't convert any target
disassemblers at all (the next two commits will update some targets),
so after this commit, the only color you will see in the disassembler
output, is that produced from objdump itself, e.g. from
objdump_print_addr_with_sym, where we print an address and a symbol
name, these are now printed with styling information, and so will have
colors applied (if the option is on).
Finally, my ability to pick "good" colors is ... well, terrible. I'm
in no way committed to the colors I've picked here, so I encourage
people to suggest new colors, or wait for this commit to land, and
then patch the choice of colors.
I do have an idea about using possibly an environment variable to
allow the objdump colors to be customised, but I haven't done anything
like that in this commit, the color choices are just fixed in the code
for now.

The Linux kernel usually ouputs symbol+offset instead of plain code
addresses these days, to avoid leaking ASLR secrets and to handle
dynamically loaded modules.
Converting those with addr2line is somewhat involved: it requires
looking up the symbol first using nm and then manually compute the
offset, and then pass it to addr2line.
This patch implements the necessary steps directly in addr2line,
by looking up the symbol (with demangling if needed) and computing
the offset.
It's possible that a symbol is ambigious with a hex number. In this
case it uses the symbol lookup if the string contains a +. When it isn't
ambigious the + is optional.
