A test recently added to gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp fails for
arm-none-eabi targets because -O2 leads to instructions to be
reordered widely.
I guess it might have made sense years ago to enable optimization in
these tests, but I fail to see the need for that nowadays.
Using -O0 while relying on __attribute__((always_inline)), which is
already used in the tests [1] [2], avoids this sort of trouble, while
still exercising the inlining-related use cases that are the focus of
these tests.
I think that nowadays we can safely assume that all compilers we care
about support __attribute__((always_inline)) or similar.
[1] - Except one spot that missed it.
[2] - Note that the .exp files make sure the frames that should have
been inlined are indeed inlined, with "info frame".

Verify that the ISA mode of branch targets is the same as the referring
relocation, so that an attempt to produce a branch between instructions
encoded in different ISA modes each causes an error rather than silently
producing non-functional code. Make sure that no symbol or addend bits
are silently truncated: terminate with an error if the relocation value
calculated cannot be encoded in the relocatable field of a branch; for
REL targets also applying to any intermediate addend.
Also make jump target's alignment verification consistent with that for
branches.
This change will require an update to some obscure handcoded assembly
sources which make branches to labels placed at data objects, however
for microMIPS code only. These labels will have to be updated with the
`.insn' directive for containing code to assemble and link successfully.
Such code is broken as any such labels have always been required by the
microMIPS architecture specification[1][2] to be annotated this way for
correct interpretation, and with our old code missing `.insn' directives
caused labels to present different semantics depending on whether they
were referred with branch (ISA bit ignored) or other relocations (ISA
bit respected).
Enforcing these checks however will ensure errors in building software,
like mixed regular MIPS and microMIPS code links with branches between,
will be diagnosed at the build time rather than causing odd run-time
errors such as intermittent crashes. It will also let cross-mode BAL
instructions be converted to JALX instructions, with a separate change.

When using the plugin interface to claim an input file the claim method
from (possible) many plugins can be called on an input file. If these
claim methods read content from the input file then the file offset
stored in the underlying file descriptor will change.
As we share a file descriptor between the plugin interface (created with
dup in ld/plugin.c:plugin_object_p) and the input bfd object, then any
changes to the file offset in the file descriptor will effect the bfd
object. Also, as the changes to the file offset did not originate from
calls through the bfd interface, but instead came from the plugin
directly, then the bfd will not be aware that the file offset has
changed. This is a problem as the bfd library caches the file offset.
If the plugin decides not to claim an input file then, currently, we
leave the bfd in a state where the actual file offset is out of sync
with the cached file offset.
This problem came to light after a recent commit
7d0b9ebc1e (Don't include libbfd.h outside
of bfd, part 6) however, I don't believe that commit actual introduces
the bug, it just exposed the existing issue.
This commit solves the problem by backing up and restoring the file
offset for the file descriptor of the input file. The restore is only
done if the plugin does not claim the input file, as it is in this case
that the bfd library might be used again to try and identify the
unclaimed file.

This patch fixes problems with a few GDB testsuites when executing in a
path that contains special characters (e.g. "++"). When such paths are
used as a regular expression, the regular expression parser will choke
and cause the tests to fail. This patch uses string_to_regexp to
escape strings that will be used as regular expressions, in order to
sanitize path names used in expect scripts.

Don't convert PC-relative REL relocations against absolute symbols to
section-relative references and retain the original symbol reference
instead. Offsets into the absolute section may overflow the limited
range of their in-place addend field, causing an assembly error, e.g.:
$ cat test.s
.text
.globl foo
.ent foo
foo:
b bar
.end foo
.set bar, 0x12345678
$ as -EB -32 -o test.o test.s
test.s: Assembler messages:
test.s:3: Error: relocation overflow
$
With the original reference retained the source can now be assembled and
linked successfully:
$ as -EB -32 -o test.o test.s
$ objdump -dr test.o
test.o: file format elf32-tradbigmips
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <foo>:
0: 1000ffff b 0 <foo>
0: R_MIPS_PC16 bar
4: 00000000 nop
...
$ ld -melf32btsmip -Ttext 0x12340000 -e foo -o test test.o
$ objdump -dr test
test: file format elf32-tradbigmips
Disassembly of section .text:
12340000 <foo>:
12340000: 1000159d b 12345678 <bar>
12340004: 00000000 nop
...
$
For simplicity always retain the original symbol reference, even if it
would indeed fit.
Making TC_FORCE_RELOCATION_ABS separate from TC_FORCE_RELOCATION causes
R_MICROMIPS_PC7_S1, R_MICROMIPS_PC10_S1 and R_MICROMIPS_PC16_S1 branch
relocations against absolute symbols to be converted on RELA targets to
section-relative references. This is an intended effect of this change.
Absolute symbols carry no ISA annotation in their `st_other' field and
their value is not going to change with linker relaxation, so it is safe
to discard the original reference and keep the calculated final symbol
value only in the relocation's addend.
Similarly R6 R_MIPS_PCHI16 and R_MIPS_PCLO16 relocations referring
absolute symbols can be safely converted even on REL targets, as there
the in-place addend of these relocations covers the entire 32-bit
address space so it can hold the calculated final symbol value, and
likewise the value referred won't be affected by any linker relaxation.
Add a set of suitable test cases and enable REL linker tests which now
work and were previously used as dump patterns for RELA tests only.

Correct a problem with the ISA bit being stripped from the addend of
compressed branch relocations, affecting RELA targets. It has been
there since microMIPS support has been added, with:
commit df58fc944d
Author: Richard Sandiford <rdsandiford@googlemail.com>
Date: Sun Jul 24 14:20:15 2011 +0000

microMIPS ASE support") and R_MICROMIPS_PC7_S1, R_MICROMIPS_PC10_S1 and
R_MICROMIPS_PC16_S1 relocations originally affected, and the
R_MIPS16_PC16_S1 relocation recently added with commit c9775dde32
("MIPS16: Add R_MIPS16_PC16_S1 branch relocation support") actually
triggering a linker error, due to its heightened processing strictness
level:
$ cat test.s
.text
.set mips16
foo:
b bar
.set bar, 0x1235
.align 4, 0
$ as -EB -n32 -o test.o test.s
$ objdump -dr test.o
test.o: file format elf32-ntradbigmips
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <foo>:
0: f000 1000 b 4 <foo+0x4>
0: R_MIPS16_PC16_S1 *ABS*+0x1230
...
$ ld -melf32btsmipn32 -Ttext 0 -e 0 -o test test.o
test.o: In function `foo':
(.text+0x0): Branch to a non-instruction-aligned address
$
This is because the ISA bit of the branch target does not match the ISA
bit of the referring branch, hardwired to 1 of course.
Retain the ISA bit then, so that the linker knows this is really MIPS16
code referred:
$ objdump -dr fixed.o
fixed.o: file format elf32-ntradbigmips
Disassembly of section .text:

Fix a generic BFD issue with relocations against absolute symbols, which
are installed without using any individual relocation handler provided
by the backend. This causes any absolute section's addend to be lost on
REL targets such as o32 MIPS, and also relocation-specific calculation
adjustments are not made.
As an example assembling this program:
$ cat test.s
.text
foo:
b bar
b baz
.set bar, 0x1234
$ as -EB -32 -o test-o32.o test.s
$ as -EB -n32 -o test-n32.o test.s
produces this binary code:
$ objdump -dr test-o32.o test-n32.o
test-o32.o: file format elf32-tradbigmips
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <foo>:
0: 10000000 b 4 <foo+0x4>
0: R_MIPS_PC16 *ABS*
4: 00000000 nop
8: 1000ffff b 8 <foo+0x8>
8: R_MIPS_PC16 baz
c: 00000000 nop
test-n32.o: file format elf32-ntradbigmips
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <foo>:
0: 10000000 b 4 <foo+0x4>
0: R_MIPS_PC16 *ABS*+0x1230
4: 00000000 nop
8: 10000000 b c <foo+0xc>
8: R_MIPS_PC16 baz-0x4
c: 00000000 nop
$
where it is clearly visible in `test-o32.o', which uses REL relocations,
that the absolute section's addend equivalent to the value of `bar' -- a
reference to which cannot be fully resolved at the assembly time,
because the reference is PC-relative -- has been lost, as has been the
relocation-specific adjustment of -4, required to take into account the
PC+4-relative calculation made by hardware with branches and seen in the
external symbol reference to `baz' as the `ffff' addend encoded in the
instruction word. In `test-n32.o', which uses RELA relocations, the
absolute section's addend has been correctly retained.
Give precedence then in `bfd_perform_relocation' and
`bfd_install_relocation' to any individual relocation handler the
backend selected may have provided, while still resorting to the generic
calculation otherwise. This retains the semantics which we've had since
forever or before the beginning of our repository history, and is at the
very least compatible with `bfd_elf_generic_reloc' being used as the
handler.
Retain the `bfd_is_und_section' check unchanged at the beginning of
`bfd_perform_relocation' since this does not affect the semantics of the
function. The check returns the same `bfd_reloc_undefined' code the
check for a null `howto' does, so swapping the two does not matter.
Also the check is is mutually exclusive with the `bfd_is_abs_section'
check, since a section cannot be absolute and undefined both at once, so
swapping the two does not matter either.
With this change applied the program quoted above now has the in-place
addend correctly calculated and installed in the field being relocated:
$ objdump -dr fixed-o32.o
fixed-o32.o: file format elf32-tradbigmips
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <foo>:
0: 1000048c b 1234 <bar>
0: R_MIPS_PC16 *ABS*
4: 00000000 nop
8: 1000ffff b 8 <foo+0x8>
8: R_MIPS_PC16 baz
c: 00000000 nop
$
Add a set of MIPS tests to cover the relevant cases, including absolute
symbols with addends, and verifying that PC-relative relocations against
symbols concerned resolve to the same value in the final link regardless
of whether the REL or the RELA relocation form is used. Exclude linker
tests though which would overflow the in-place addend on REL targets and
use them as dump patterns for RELA targets only.

this mattered; and in some other cases it might be more aesthetically

The objcopy and strip tools make use of the bfd library to manipulate
the state of the input file (to produce an output file). Within the
input file (for ELF at least), relocations are held within a section,
and so, if the user wanted to remove the relocations, but keep the
section to which the relocations would have been applied, it is tempting
to think that specifying the name of a relocation section to objcopy's
--remove-section option might do what you want, for example:
objcopy --remove-section=.rela.text input.elf output.elf
However, this does not work. The reason is that when the input file is
loaded, relocations are not managed as sections, but are, instead,
loaded as data associated with the section to which the relocations
would be applied. In our example above the relocations in '.rela.text'
are held as data on the section '.text' once 'input.elf' is loaded.
One task that objcopy and strip do is copy the relocations from the
input file to the output file if the section is also being copied from
the input file to the output file.
This commit adds a new command line option for objcopy and strip,
--remove-relocations, which can be used to remove the relocations, while
keeping the section that the relocations would have been applied to, for
example:
objcopy --remove-relocations=.text input.elf output.elf
in this case the section '.text' will appear in both 'input.elf' and
'output.elf', but any relocations in 'input.elf' that apply to '.text'
will not be present in 'output.elf'.
I have also added a special case to the handling of --remove-section
that spots if a user tries to remove a relocation section (currently
this is done by spotting the '.rela.' or '.rel.' prefix) and forwards
the request to --remove-relocations.
As with --remove-section and --only-section the --remove-relocations
option supports the '!' prefix on the section-patterns it takes to allow
for sections to be specifically not matched.
There are tests for all the new functionality.

For symbol matching, prefixing a pattern with '!' will indicate a
non-matching pattern, however, this is not the case for section
patterns. As a result it is not possible to say "apply this action to
all sections except ...".
With this commit the objcopy and strip tools now support '!' prefix for
section patterns, so we can say:
objcopy --remove-section="*" --remove-section="!.text*"
Which will remove all sections, except those matching the pattern
'.text*'.

This patch adds some breakpoint events to Python. In particular,
there is a creation event that is emitted when a breakpoint is
created; a modification event that is emitted when a breakpoint
changes somehow; and a deletion event that is emitted when a
breakpoint is deleted.
In this patch, the event's payload is the breakpoint itself. I
considered making a new event type to hold the breakpoint, but I
didn't see a need. Still, I thought I would mention this as a spot
where some other choice is possible.

Address issues with the disassembly of the NAL assembly idiom and R6
instruction introduced with commit 7361da2c95 ("Add support for MIPS
R6.") and then further tweaked with commit b9121b573e ("Add in a JALRC
alias and fix the NAL instruction."). As from R6 this instruction has
replaced the encoding of `bltzal $0, . + 4' as the solely supported form
of the former BLTZAL instruction for the regular MIPS ISA.
The instruction is marked as an alias only in our regular MIPS opcode
table, making it fail to disassemble in R6 code if the `no-aliases'
machine option has been passed to `objdump':
$ cat test.s
.text
foo:
nal
$ as -mips64r6 -o test.o test.s
$ objdump -dr --prefix-addresses --show-raw-insn -M no-aliases test.o
nal.o: file format elf32-tradbigmips
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <foo> 04100000 0x4100000
...
$
This is because the `bltzal' entry has been marked as pre-R6 only in the
opcode table and there is no other opcode pattern to match.
Additionally the changes referred made NAL replace the equivalent
`bltzal $0, . + 4' instruction in disassembly, unless the `no-aliases'
machine option has been used, in legacy code. Seeing NAL, especially in
its updated form lacking the branch target argument, in the disassembly
of such code may be confusing to people. This is because unlike with
EHB only used in R2 and newer code -- the machine encoding of which we
anyway always disassemble to its corresponding current architecture's
mnemonic rather than its legacy meaning of `sll $0, $0, 3' -- BLTZAL has
been indeed used in legacy code. Even though `bltzal $0, . + 8' and its
machine code encoding (0x04100001) -- which is not equivalent to NAL and
still disassembles as BLTZAL -- has been the predominant form as opposed
to NAL's `bltzal $0, . + 4' (0x04100000), it makes sense to always keep
the old form in disassembly, while still accepting `nal' in assembly.
Remove the alias marking then from the the `nal' instruction pattern,
making it always match for R6 code, even with the `no-aliases' option.
And move the entry beyond the `bltzal' entry, making the latter one take
precedence for legacy binary code, while letting the former still match
any `nal' mnemonic in source code assembled for a legacy target.
Add a suitable test case to the GAS test suite. While the change
affects the disassembler more than the assembler, so placing the test
case in the binutils test suite might be more appropriate, the intent is
also to verify that `nal' is still accepted by GAS for legacy targets,
plus we have test infrastructure available in the GAS test suite for
automatic multiple ISA level testing, which we lack from the binutils
framework.
