Adds two new external authors to etc/update-copyright.py to cover
bfd/ax_tls.m4, and adds gprofng to dirs handled automatically, then
updates copyright messages as follows:
1) Update cgen/utils.scm emitted copyrights.
2) Run "etc/update-copyright.py --this-year" with an extra external
author I haven't committed, 'Kalray SA.', to cover gas testsuite
files (which should have their copyright message removed).
3) Build with --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes.
4) Check out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently.
The newer update-copyright.py fixes file encoding too, removing cr/lf
on binutils/bfdtest2.c and ld/testsuite/ld-cygwin/exe-export.exp, and
embedded cr in binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/ar.exp string match.
The result of running etc/update-copyright.py --this-year, fixing all
the files whose mode is changed by the script, plus a build with
--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes, then checking
out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently.
The copy of cgen was with commit d1dd5fcc38ead reverted as that commit
breaks building of bfp opcodes files.
This is embarrassing.
The whole point of CTF is that it remains intact even after a binary is
stripped, providing a compact mapping from symbols to types for
everything in the externally-visible interface of an ELF object: it has
connections to the symbol table for that purpose, and to the string
table to avoid duplicating symbol names. So it's a shame that the hooks
I implemented last year served to hook it up to the .symtab and .strtab,
which obviously disappear on strip, leaving any accompanying the CTF
dict containing references to strings (and, soon, symbols) which don't
exist any more because their containing strtab has been vaporized. The
original Solaris design used .dynsym and .dynstr (well, actually,
.ldynsym, which has more symbols) which do not disappear. So should we.
Thankfully the work we did before serves as guide rails, and adjusting
things to use the .dynstr and .dynsym was fast and easy. The only
annoyance is that the dynsym is assembled inside elflink.c in a fairly
piecemeal fashion, so that the easiest way to get the symbols out was to
hook in before every call to swap_symbol_out (we also leave in a hook in
front of symbol additions to the .symtab because it seems plausible that
we might want to hook them in future too: for now that hook is unused).
We adjust things so that rather than being offered a whole hash table of
symbols at once, libctf is now given symbols one at a time, with st_name
indexes already resolved and pointing at their final .dynstr offsets:
it's now up to libctf to resolve these to names as needed using the
strtab info we pass it separately.
Some bits might be contentious. The ctf_new_dynstr callback takes an
elf_internal_sym, and this remains an elf_internal_sym right down
through the generic emulation layers into ldelfgen. This is no worse
than the elf_sym_strtab we used to pass down, but in the future when we
gain non-ELF CTF symtab support we might want to lower the
elf_internal_sym to some other representation (perhaps a
ctf_link_symbol) in bfd or in ldlang_ctf_new_dynsym. We rename the
'apply_strsym' hooks to 'acquire_strings' instead, becuse they no longer
have anything to do with symbols.
There are some API changes to pieces of API which are technically public
but actually totally unused by anything and/or unused by anything but ld
so they can change freely: the ctf_link_symbol gains new fields to allow
symbol names to be given as strtab offsets as well as strings, and a
symidx so that the symbol index can be passed in. ctf_link_shuffle_syms
loses its callback parameter: the idea now is that linkers call the new
ctf_link_add_linker_symbol for every symbol in .dynsym, feed in all the
strtab entries with ctf_link_add_strtab, and then a call to
ctf_link_shuffle_syms will apply both and arrange to use them to reorder
the CTF symtab at CTF serialization time (which is coming in the next
commit).
Inside libctf we have a new preamble flag CTF_F_DYNSTR which is always
set in v3-format CTF dicts from this commit forwards: CTF dicts without
this flag are associated with .strtab like they used to be, so that old
dicts' external strings don't turn to garbage when loaded by new libctf.
Dicts with this flag are associated with .dynstr and .dynsym instead.
(The flag is not the next in sequence because this commit was written
quite late: the missing flags will be filled in by the next commit.)
Tests forthcoming in a later commit in this series.

The naming of the ctf_file_t type in libctf is a historical curiosity.
Back in the Solaris days, CTF dictionaries were originally generated as
a separate file and then (sometimes) merged into objects: hence the
datatype was named ctf_file_t, and known as a "CTF file". Nowadays, raw
CTF is essentially never written to a file on its own, and the datatype
changed name to a "CTF dictionary" years ago. So the term "CTF file"
refers to something that is never a file! This is at best confusing.
The type has also historically been known as a 'CTF container", which is
even more confusing now that we have CTF archives which are *also* a
sort of container (they contain CTF dictionaries), but which are never
referred to as containers in the source code.
So fix this by completing the renaming, renaming ctf_file_t to
ctf_dict_t throughout, and renaming those few functions that refer to
CTF files by name (keeping compatibility aliases) to refer to dicts
instead. Old users who still refer to ctf_file_t will see (harmless)
pointer-compatibility warnings at compile time, but the ABI is unchanged
(since C doesn't mangle names, and ctf_file_t was always an opaque type)
and things will still compile fine as long as -Werror is not specified.
All references to CTF containers and CTF files in the source code are
fixed to refer to CTF dicts instead.
Further (smaller) renamings of annoyingly-named functions to come, as
part of the process of souping up queries across whole archives at once
(needed for the function info and data object sections).

This is quite complicated because the CTF section's contents depend on
the final contents of the symtab and strtab, because it has two sections
whose contents are shuffled to be in 1:1 correspondence with the symtab,
and an internal strtab that gets deduplicated against the ELF strtab
(with offsets adjusted to point into the ELF strtab instead). It is
also compressed if large enough, so its size depends on its contents!
So we cannot construct it as early as most sections: we cannot even
*begin* construction until after the symtab and strtab are finalized.
Thankfully there is already one section treated similarly: compressed
debugging sections: the only differences are that compressed debugging
sections have extra handling to deal with their changing name if
compressed (CTF sections are always called ".ctf" for now, though we
have reserved ".ctf.*" against future use), and that compressed
debugging sections have previously-uncompressed content which has to be
stashed away for later compression, while CTF sections have no content
at all until we generate it (very late).
BFD also cannot do the link itself: libctf knows how to do it, and BFD
cannot call libctf directly because libctf already depends on bfd for
file I/O. So we have to use a pair of callbacks, one, examine_strtab,
which allows a caller to examine the symtab and strtab after
finalization (called from elf_link_swap_symbols_out(), right before the
symtabs are written, and after the strtab has been finalized), and one
which actually does the emission (called emit_ctf simply because it is
grouped with a bunch of section-specific late-emission function calls at
the bottom of bfd_elf_final_link, and a section-specific name seems best
for that). emit_ctf is actually called *twice*: once from lang_process
if the emulation suggests that this bfd target does not examine the
symtab or strtab, and once via a bfd callback if it does. (This means
that non-ELF targets still get CTF emitted, even though the late CTF
emission stage is never called for them).
v2: merged with non-ELF support patch: slight commit message
adjustments.
v3: do not spend time merging CTF, or crash, if the CTF section is
explicitly discarded. Do not try to merge or compress CTF unless
linking.
v4: add CTF_COMPRESSION_THRESHOLD. Annul the freed input ctf_file_t's
after writeout: set SEC_IN_MEMORY on the output contents so a future
bfd enhancement knows it could free it. Add SEC_LINKER_CREATED |
SEC_KEEP to avoid having to add .ctf to the linker script. Drop
now-unnecessary ldlang.h-level elf-bfd.h include and hackery around
it. Adapt to elf32.em->elf.em and elf-generic.em->ldelf*.c
changes.
v5: fix tabdamage. Drop #inclusions in .h files: include in .c files,
.em files, and use struct forwards instead. Use bfd_section_is_ctf
inline function rather than SECTION_IS_CTF macro. Move a few
comments.
