This is a bug in the intersection of two obscure options that cannot
even be invoked from ld with a feature added to stop ld of the
same input file repeatedly from crashing the linker.
The latter fix involved tracking input files (internally to libctf) not
just with their input CU name but with a version of their input CU name
that was augmented with a numeric prefix if their linker input file name
was changed, to prevent distinct CTF dicts with the same cuname from
overwriting each other. (We can't use just the linker input file name
because one linker input can contain many CU dicts, particularly under
ld -r). If these inputs then produced conflicting types, those types
were emitted into similarly-named output dicts, so we needed similar
machinery to detect clashing output dicts and add a numeric prefix to
them as well.
This works fine, except that if you used the cu-mapping feature to force
double-linking of CTF (so that your CTF can be grouped into output dicts
larger than a single translation unit) and then also used
CTF_LINK_EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS to force every possible output dict in the
mapping to be created (even if empty), we did the creation of empty dicts
first, and then all the actual content got considered to be a clash. So
you ended up with a pile of useless empty dicts and then all the content
was in full dicts with the same names suffixed with a #0. This seems
likely to confuse consumers that use this facility.
Fixed by generating all the EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS empty dicts after linking
is complete, not before it runs.
No impact on ld, which does not do cu-mapped links or pass
CTF_LINK_EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS to ctf_link().

* ctf-link.c (ctf_create_per_cu): Don't create new dicts iff one
already exists and we are making one for no input in particular.
(ctf_link): Emit empty CTF dicts corresponding to no input in
particular only after linkiing is complete.
CTF dicts have per-dict errno values: as with other errno values these
are set on error and left unchanged on success. This means that all
errors *must* set the CTF errno: if a call leaves it unchanged, the
caller is apt to find a previous, lingering error and misinterpret
it as the real error.
There are many places in libctf where we carry out operations on parent
dicts as a result of carrying out other user-requested operations on
child dicts (e.g. looking up information on a pointer to a type will
look up the type as well: the pointer might well be in a child and the
type it's a pointer to in the parent). Those operations on the parent
might fail; if they do, the error must be correctly reflected on the
child that the user-visible operation was carried out on. In many
places this was not happening.
So, audit and fix all those places. Add tests for as many of those
cases as possible so they don't regress.

After digging a little bit, it became quite obvious that a dot is
missing in regexp that makes it impossible to match versions higher than
7.0, and here's the solution:
- | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*(6\.[3-9]|[7-9][0-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
+ | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*(6\.[3-9]|[7-9]\.[0-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
However, Eli pointed out that the solution above has another problem: it
will stop working when Texinfo 10.1 will be released. Meanwhile, he
suggested to solve this problem permanently. That is, we don't care
about the minor version for Texinfo > 6.9, we only care about the major
version.
In this way, the problem will be resolved permanently, thanks to Eli.

This check has a pair of faults which, combined, can lead to memory
corruption. Firstly, it assumes that the values of the ctf_link_inputs
hash are ctf_dict_t's: they are not, they are ctf_link_input_t's, a much
shorter structure. So the flags check which is the core of this is
faulty (but happens, by chance, to give the right output on most
architectures, since usually we happen to get a 0 here, so the test that
checks this usually passes). Worse, the warning that is emitted when
the test fails is added to the wrong dict -- it's added to the input
dict, whose warning list is never consumed, rendering the whole check
useless. But the dict it adds to is still the wrong type, so we end up
overwriting something deep in memory (or, much more likely,
dereferencing a garbage pointer and crashing).
Fixing both reveals another problem: the link input is an *archive*
consisting of multiple members, so we have to consider whether to check
all of them for the outdated-func-info thing we are checking here.
However, no compiler exists that emits a mixture of members with this
flag on and members with it off, and the linker always reserializes (and
upgrades) such things when it sees them: so all members in a given
archive must have the same value of the flag, so we only need to check
one member per input archive.

The libctf testsuite uses Tcl try/catch to trap run_output errors. This
is only supported in reasonably recent Tcls, so we detect the lack of
try/catch and suppress the testsuite via an Automake conditional in its
absence.
But this turns out not to work: Automake produces a check-DEJAGNU target
regardless of the value of this conditional and sticks it in an
unconditionally-executed part of the makefile, so the testsuite gets
executed anyway, and fails with a nasty-looking syntax error. We can't
disable it by taking "dejagnu" out of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, because if you
do that Automake stops you using RUNTEST, RUNTESTFLAGS and other
variables users would expect to work.
So move to disabling the testsuite from inside the testsuite itself,
importing the value of the former Automake conditional as a Tcl variable
and exiting very early in default.exp if it's false.

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

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.

It's been a long time since most of this was written: it's long past
time to put it in the binutils source tree. It's believed correct and
complete insofar as it goes: it documents format v3 (the current
version) but not the libctf API or any earlier versions. (The
earlier versions can be read by libctf but not generated by it, and you
are highly unlikely ever to see an example of any of them.)

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.)

If dumping of a single type fails, we obviously can't dump it; but just
as obviously this doesn't make the other types in the types section
invalid or undumpable. So we should not propagate errors seen when
type-dumping, but rather ignore them and carry on, so we dump as many
types as we can (leaving out the ones we can't grok).

* ctf-dump.c (ctf_dump_type): Do not abort on error.
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.
(Test added, which should fail pretty reliably in the presence of this
bug on any machine with 4KiB pages.)

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).

Fix bad grammar.
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.
