The linker merges all the input .sframe sections. When merging, the
linker verifies that all the input .sframe sections have the same
abi/arch.
The linker uses libsframe library to perform key actions on the
.sframe sections - decode, read, and create output data. This
implies buildsystem changes to make and install libsframe before
libbfd.
The linker places the output .sframe section in a new segment of its
own: PT_GNU_SFRAME. A new segment is not added, however, if the
generated .sframe section is empty.
When a section is discarded from the final link, the corresponding
entries in the .sframe section for those functions are also deleted.
The linker sorts the SFrame FDEs on start address by default and sets
the SFRAME_F_FDE_SORTED flag in the .sframe section.
This patch also adds support for generation of SFrame unwind
information for the .plt* sections on x86_64. SFrame unwind info is
generated for IBT enabled PLT, lazy/non-lazy PLT.
The existing linker option --no-ld-generated-unwind-info has been
adapted to include the control of whether .sframe unwind information
will be generated for the linker generated sections like PLT.
Changes to the linker script have been made as necessary.

This patch provides a new function to sanity check section sizes.
It's mostly extracted from what we had in bfd_get_full_section_contents
but also handles compressed debug sections.
Improvements are:
- section file offset is taken into account,
- added checks that a compressed section can be read from file.
The function is then used when handling multiple .debug_* sections
that need to be read into a single buffer, to sanity check sizes
before allocating the buffer.

the files whose mode is changed by the script, plus a build with
--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes, then checking

The copy of cgen was with commit d1dd5fcc38ead reverted as that commit

I built GDB with `--enable-targets=all`, then started GDB passing it
an x86-64 executable, finally I ran 'maint selftest', and observed GDB
crash like this:
BFD: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.36.50.20210519 assertion fail ../../src/bfd/hash.c:438
Aborted (core dumped)
The problem originates from two locations, for example in csky-dis.c
(csky_get_disassembler) where we do this:
const char *sec_name = NULL;
...
sec_name = get_elf_backend_data (abfd)->obj_attrs_section;
if (bfd_get_section_by_name (abfd, sec_name) != NULL)
...
We end up in here because during the selftests GDB forces the
architecture to be csky, but the BFD being accessed is still of type
x86-64. As a result obj_attrs_section returns NULL, which means we
end up passing NULL to bfd_get_section_by_name. If we follow the
function calls from bfd_get_section_by_name we eventually end up in
bfd_hash_hash, which asserts that the string (i.e. the name) is not
NULL.
The same crash can be reproduced in GDB without using the selftests,
for example:
(gdb) file x86_64.elf
(gdb) start
(gdb) set architecture csky
(gdb) disassemble main
Dump of assembler code for function main:
BFD: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.36.50.20210519 assertion fail ../../src/bfd/hash.c:438
Aborted (core dumped)
The fix I propose here is to have bfd_get_section_by_name return NULL
if name is ever NULL. For consistency I updated
bfd_get_section_by_name_if in the same way, even though I'm not
hitting any problems along that code path right now.
I looked through the source tree and removed two NULL checks in
bfd/dwarf2.c which are no longer needed, its possible that there are
additional NULL checks that could be removed, I just didn't find them.

This moves the SHF_LINK_ORDER sorting from bfd_elf_final_link to
the linker which means generic ELF targets now support SHF_LINK_ORDER
and we cope with odd cases that require resizing of output sections.
The patch also fixes two bugs in the current implementation,
introduced by commit cd6d537c48. The pattern test used by that
commit meant that sections matching something like
"*(.IA_64.unwind* .gnu.linkonce.ia64unw.*)" would not properly sort a
mix of sections matching the two wildcards. That commit also assumed
a stable qsort.

Clang's integrated assembler supports multiple section with the same
name:
.section .text,"ax",@progbits,unique,1
nop
.section .text,"ax",@progbits,unique,2
nop
"unique,N" assigns the number, N, as the section ID, to a section. The
valid values of the section ID are between 0 and 4294967295. It can be
used to distinguish different sections with the same section name.
This is useful with -fno-unique-section-names -ffunction-sections.
-ffunction-sections by default generates .text.foo, .text.bar, etc.
Using the same string can save lots of space in .strtab.
This patch adds section_id to bfd_section and reuses the linker
internal bit in BFD section flags, SEC_LINKER_CREATED, for assmebler
internal use to mark valid section_id. It also updates objdump to
compare section pointers if 2 sections comes from the same file since
2 different sections can have the same section name.

https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-05/msg00271.html was supposed
to banish "file format is ambiguous" errors for ELF. It didn't,
because the code supposedly detecting formats that implement
match_priority didn't work. That was due to not placing all matching
targets into the vector of matching targets. ELF objects should all
match the generic ELF target (priority 2), plus one or more machine
specific targets (priority 1), and perhaps a single machine specific
target with OS/ABI set (priority 0, best match). So the armel object
in the testcase actually matches elf32-littlearm,
elf32-littlearm-symbian, and elf32-littlearm-vxworks (all priority 1),
and elf32-little (priority 2). As the PR reported, elf32-little
wasn't seen as matching. Fixing that part of the problem wasn't too
difficult but matching the generic ELF target as well as the ARM ELF
targets resulted in ARM testsuite failures.
These proved to be the annoying reordering of stubs that occurs from
time to time due to the stub names containing the section id.
Matching another target causes more sections to be created in
elf_object_p. If section ids change, stub names change, which results
in different hashing and can therefore result in different hash table
traversal and stub creation order. That particular problem is fixed
by resetting section_id to the initial state before attempting each
target match, and taking a snapshot of its value after a successful
match.
