Nick Alcock	6c3a38777b	libctf, include: support unnamed structure members better libctf has no intrinsic support for the GCC unnamed structure member extension. This principally means that you can't look up named members inside unnamed struct or union members via ctf_member_info: you have to tiresomely find out the type ID of the unnamed members via iteration, then look in each of these. This is ridiculous. Fix it by extending ctf_member_info so that it recurses into unnamed members for you: this is still unambiguous because GCC won't let you create ambiguously-named members even in the presence of this extension. For consistency, and because the release hasn't happened and we can still do this, break the ctf_member_next API and add flags: we specify one flag, CTF_MN_RECURSE, which if set causes ctf_member_next to automatically recurse into unnamed members for you, returning not only the members themselves but all their contained members, so that you can use ctf_member_next to identify every member that it would be valid to call ctf_member_info with. New lookup tests are added for all of this. include/ChangeLog 2021-01-05 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * ctf-api.h (CTF_MN_RECURSE): New.

Nick Alcock	ffeece6ac2	libctf, ld: prohibit getting the size or alignment of forwards C allows you to do only a very few things with entities of incomplete type (as opposed to pointers to them): make pointers to them and give them cv-quals, roughly. In particular you can't sizeof them and you can't get their alignment. We cannot impose all the requirements the standard imposes on CTF users, because the deduplicator can transform any structure type into a forward for the purposes of breaking cycles: so CTF type graphs can easily contain things like arrays of forward type (if you want to figure out their size or alignment, you need to chase down the types this forward might be a forward to in child TU dicts: we will soon add API functions to make doing this much easier). Nonetheless, it is still meaningless to ask for the size or alignment of forwards: but libctf didn't prohibit this and returned nonsense from internal implementation details when you asked (it returned the kind of the pointed-to type as both the size and alignment, because forwards reuse ctt_type as a type kind, and ctt_type and ctt_size overlap). So introduce a new error, ECTF_INCOMPLETE, which is returned when you try to get the size or alignment of forwards: we also return it when you try to do things that require libctf itself to get the size or alignment of a forward, notably using a forward as an array index type (which C should never do in any case) or adding forwards to structures without specifying their offset explicitly. The dumper will not emit size or alignment info for forwards any more. (This should not be an API break since ctf_type_size and ctf_type_align could both return errors before now: any code that isn't expecting error returns is already potentially broken.) include/ChangeLog 2021-01-05 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * ctf-api.h (ECTF_INCOMPLETE): New.

Nick Alcock	53651de80f	libctf, include: support foreign-endianness symtabs with CTF The CTF symbol lookup machinery added recently has one deficit: it assumes the symtab is in the machine's native endianness. This is always true when the linker is writing out symtabs (because cross linkers byteswap symbols only after libctf has been called on them), but may be untrue in the cross case when the linker or another tool (objdump, etc) is reading them. Unfortunately the easy way to model this to the caller, as an endianness field in the ctf_sect_t, is precluded because doing so would change the size of the ctf_sect_t, which would be an ABI break. So, instead, allow the endianness of the symtab to be set after open time, by calling one of the two new API functions ctf_symsect_endianness (for ctf_dict_t's) or ctf_arc_symsect_endianness (for entire ctf_archive_t's). libctf calls these functions automatically for objects opened via any of the BFD-aware mechanisms (ctf_bfdopen, ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect, ctf_fdopen, ctf_open, or ctf_arc_open), but the various mechanisms that just take raw ctf_sect_t's will assume the symtab is in native endianness and need a later call to ctf_symsect_endianness to adjust it if needed. (This call is basically free if the endianness is actually native: it only costs anything if the symtab endianness was previously guessed wrong, and there is a symtab, and we are using it directly rather than using symtab indexing.) Obviously, calling ctf_lookup_by_symbol or ctf_symbol_next before the symtab endianness is correctly set will probably give wrong answers -- but you can set it at any time as long as it is before then. include/ChangeLog 2020-11-23 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> ctf-api.h: Style nit: remove () on function names in comments.

Nick Alcock	97a2a623d0	libctf, include: add ctf_getsymsect and ctf_getstrsect libctf has long provided ctf_getdatasect, which hands back a pointer to the CTF section a (read-only) dict came from. But it has no such functions to return pointers to the ELF symbol table or string table it's working from, which is unfortunate because several libctf functions (ctf_open, ctf_fdopen, and ctf_bfdopen) figure out which string and symbol table to use themselves, and don't tell the user what they decided, so the caller can't agree on which symtab to use with libctf even if it wanted to. Add a pair of functions to return the symtab and strtab in use. Like ctf_getdatasect, these return ctf_sect_t structures by value, filled with all-NULL/0 content if a symtab or strtab is not being used. include/ChangeLog 2020-11-20 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * ctf-api.h (ctf_getsymsect): New.

Nick Alcock	2c78e92523	libctf, include: CTF-archive-wide symbol lookup CTF archives may contain multiple dicts, each of which contain many types and possibly a bunch of symtypetab entries relating to those types: each symtypetab entry is going to appear in exactly one dict, with the corresponding entries in the other dicts empty (either pads, or indexed symtypetabs that do not mention that symbol). But users of libctf usually want to get back the type associated with a symbol without having to dig around to find out which dict that type might be in. This adds machinery to do that -- and since you probably want to do it repeatedly, it adds internal caching to the ctf-archive machinery so that iteration over archives via ctf_archive_next and repeated symbol lookups do not have to repeatedly reopen the archive. (Iteration using ctf_archive_iter will gain caching soon.) Two new API functions: ctf_dict_t * ctf_arc_lookup_symbol (ctf_archive_t arc, unsigned long symidx, ctf_id_t typep, int errp); This looks up the symbol with index SYMIDX in the archive ARC, returning the dictionary in which it resides and optionally the type index as well. Errors are returned in ERRP. The dict should be ctf_dict_close()d when done, but is also cached inside the ctf_archive so that the open cost is only paid once. The result of the symbol lookup is also cached internally, so repeated lookups of the same symbol are nearly free. void ctf_arc_flush_caches (ctf_archive_t arc); Flush all the caches. Done at close time, but also available as an API function if users want to do it by hand. include/ChangeLog 2020-11-20 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * ctf-api.h (ctf_arc_lookup_symbol): New.

Nick Alcock	1136c37971	libctf: symbol type linking support This adds facilities to write out the function info and data object sections, which efficiently map from entries in the symbol table to types. The write-side code is entirely new: the read-side code was merely significantly changed and support for indexed tables added (pointed to by the no-longer-unused cth_objtidxoff and cth_funcidxoff header fields). With this in place, you can use ctf_lookup_by_symbol to look up the types of symbols of function and object type (and, as before, you can use ctf_lookup_variable to look up types of file-scope variables not present in the symbol table, as long as you know their name: but variables that are also data objects are now found in the data object section instead.) (Compatible) file format change: The CTF spec has always said that the function info section looks much like the CTF_K_FUNCTIONs in the type section: an info word (including an argument count) followed by a return type and N argument types. This format is suboptimal: it means function symbols cannot be deduplicated and it causes a lot of ugly code duplication in libctf. But conveniently the compiler has never emitted this! Because it has always emitted a rather different format that libctf has never accepted, we can be sure that there are no instances of this function info section in the wild, and can freely change its format without compatibility concerns or a file format version bump. (And since it has never been emitted in any code that generated any older file format version, either, we need keep no code to read the format as specified at all!) So the function info section is now specified as an array of uint32_t, exactly like the object data section: each entry is a type ID in the type section which must be of kind CTF_K_FUNCTION, the prototype of this function. This allows function types to be deduplicated and also correctly encodes the fact that all functions declared in C really are types available to the program: so they should be stored in the type section like all other types. (In format v4, we will be able to represent the types of static functions as well, but that really does require a file format change.) We introduce a new header flag, CTF_F_NEWFUNCINFO, which is set if the new function info format is in use. A sufficiently new compiler will always set this flag. New libctf will always set this flag: old libctf will refuse to open any CTF dicts that have this flag set. If the flag is not set on a dict being read in, new libctf will disregard the function info section. Format v4 will remove this flag (or, rather, the flag has no meaning there and the bit position may be recycled for some other purpose). New API: Symbol addition: ctf_add_func_sym: Add a symbol with a given name and type. The type must be of kind CTF_K_FUNCTION (a function pointer). Internally this adds a name -> type mapping to the ctf_funchash in the ctf_dict. ctf_add_objt_sym: Add a symbol with a given name and type. The type kind can be anything, including function pointers. This adds to ctf_objthash. These both treat symbols as name -> type mappings: the linker associates symbol names with symbol indexes via the ctf_link_shuffle_syms callback, which sets up the ctf_dynsyms/ctf_dynsymidx/ctf_dynsymmax fields in the ctf_dict. Repeated relinks can add more symbols. Variables that are also exposed as symbols are removed from the variable section at serialization time. CTF symbol type sections which have enough pads, defined by CTF_INDEX_PAD_THRESHOLD (whether because they are in dicts with symbols where most types are unknown, or in archive where most types are defined in some child or parent dict, not in this specific dict) are sorted by name rather than symidx and accompanied by an index which associates each symbol type entry with a name: the existing ctf_lookup_by_symbol will map symbol indexes to symbol names and look the names up in the index automatically. (This is currently ELF-symbol-table-dependent, but there is almost nothing specific to ELF in here and we can add support for other symbol table formats easily). The compiler also uses index sections to communicate the contents of object file symbol tables without relying on any specific ordering of symbols: it doesn't need to sort them, and libctf will detect an unsorted index section via the absence of the new CTF_F_IDXSORTED header flag, and sort it if needed. Iteration: ctf_symbol_next: Iterator which returns the types and names of symbols one by one, either for function or data symbols. This does not require any sorting: the ctf_link machinery uses it to pull in all the compiler-provided symbols cheaply, but it is not restricted to that use. (Compatible) changes in API: ctf_lookup_by_symbol: can now be called for object and function symbols: never returns ECTF_NOTDATA (which is now not thrown by anything, but is kept for compatibility and because it is a plausible error that we might start throwing again at some later date). Internally we also have changes to the ctf-string functionality so that "external" strings (those where we track a string -> offset mapping, but only write out an offset) can be consulted via the usual means (ctf_strptr) before the strtab is written out. This is important because ctf_link_add_linker_symbol can now be handed symbols named via strtab offsets, and ctf_link_shuffle_syms must figure out their actual names by looking in the external symtab we have just been fed by the ctf_link_add_strtab callback, long before that strtab is written out. include/ChangeLog 2020-11-20 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * ctf-api.h (ctf_symbol_next): New.

Nick Alcock	3d16b64e28	bfd, include, ld, binutils, libctf: CTF should use the dynstr/sym 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.)

Nick Alcock	ae41200ba8	libctf, include, binutils, gdb: rename CTF-opening functions The functions that return ctf_dict_t's given a ctf_archive_t and a name are very clumsily named. It sounds like they return archives, not dictionaries, and the names are very long and clunky. Why do we have a ctf_arc_open_by_name when it opens a dictionary, not an archive, and when there is no way to open a dictionary in any other way? The answer is purely internal: the function is located in ctf-archive.c, and everything in there was called ctf_arc_, and there is another way to open a dict (by offset in the archive), that is internal to ctf-archive.c and that nothing else can call. This is clearly bad naming. The internal organization of the source tree should not dictate public API names! So rename things (keeping the old, bad names for compatibility), and adjust all users. You now open a dict using ctf_dict_open, and open it giving ELF sections via ctf_dict_open_sections. binutils/ChangeLog 2020-11-20 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> objdump.c (dump_ctf): Use ctf_dict_open, not ctf_arc_open_by_name. * readelf.c (dump_section_as_ctf): Likewise. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-11-20 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * ctfread.c (elfctf_build_psymtabs): Use ctf_dict_open, not ctf_arc_open_by_name. include/ChangeLog 2020-11-20 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * ctf-api.h (ctf_arc_open_by_name): Rename to...

Nick Alcock	139633c307	libctf, include, binutils, gdb, ld: rename ctf_file_t to ctf_dict_t 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). binutils/ChangeLog 2020-11-20 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * objdump.c (dump_ctf_errs): Rename ctf_file_t to ctf_dict_t.

Nick Alcock	926c9e7665	libctf, binutils, include, ld: gettextize and improve error handling This commit follows on from the earlier commit "libctf, ld, binutils: add textual error/warning reporting for libctf" and converts every error in libctf that was reported using ctf_dprintf to use ctf_err_warn instead, gettextizing them in the process, using N_() where necessary to avoid doing gettext calls unless an error message is actually generated, and rephrasing some error messages for ease of translation. This requires a slight change in the ctf_errwarning_next API: this API is public but has not been in a release yet, so can still change freely. The problem is that many errors are emitted at open time (whether opening of a CTF dict, or opening of a CTF archive): the former of these throws away its incompletely-initialized ctf_file_t rather than return it, and the latter has no ctf_file_t at all. So errors and warnings emitted at open time cannot be stored in the ctf_file_t, and have to go elsewhere. We put them in a static local in ctf-subr.c (which is not very thread-safe: a later commit will improve things here): ctf_err_warn with a NULL fp adds to this list, and the public interface ctf_errwarning_next with a NULL fp retrieves from it. We need a slight exception from the usual iterator rules in this case: with a NULL fp, there is nowhere to store the ECTF_NEXT_END "error" which signifies the end of iteration, so we add a new err parameter to ctf_errwarning_next which is used to report such iteration-related errors. (If an fp is provided -- i.e., if not reporting open errors -- this is optional, but even if it's optional it's still an API change. This is actually useful from a usability POV as well, since ctf_errwarning_next is usually called when there's been an error, so overwriting the error code with ECTF_NEXT_END is not very helpful! So, unusually, ctf_errwarning_next now uses the passed fp for its error code only if no errp pointer is passed in, and leaves it untouched otherwise.) ld, objdump and readelf are adapted to call ctf_errwarning_next with a NULL fp to report open errors where appropriate. The ctf_err_warn API also has to change, gaining a new error-number parameter which is used to add the error message corresponding to that error number into the debug stream when LIBCTF_DEBUG is enabled: changing this API is easy at this point since we are already touching all existing calls to gettextize them. We need this because the debug stream should contain the errno's message, but the error reported in the error/warning stream should not, because the caller will probably report it themselves at failure time regardless, and reporting it in every error message that leads up to it leads to a ridiculous chattering on failure, which is likely to end up as ridiculous chattering on stderr (trimmed a bit): CTF error: `ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c (0): lookup failure for type 3: flags 1: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable' CTF error: `ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c (0): struct/union member type hashing error during type hashing for type 80000001, kind 6: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable' CTF error: `deduplicating link variable emission failed for ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable' ld/.libs/lt-ld-new: warning: CTF linking failed; output will have no CTF section: `The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable' We only need to be told that the parent CTF dictionary is unavailable once, not over and over again! errmsgs are still emitted on warning generation, because warnings do not usually lead to a failure propagated up to the caller and reported there. Debug-stream messages are not translated. If translation is turned on, there will be a mixture of English and translated messages in the debug stream, but rather that than burden the translators with debug-only output. binutils/ChangeLog 2020-08-27 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * objdump.c (dump_ctf_archive_member): Move error- reporting...

Nick Alcock	662df3c3f1	libctf, link: tie in the deduplicating linker This fairly intricate commit connects up the CTF linker machinery (which operates in terms of ctf_archive_t's on ctf_link_inputs -> ctf_link_outputs) to the deduplicator (which operates in terms of arrays of ctf_file_t's, all the archives exploded). The nondeduplicating linker is retained, but is not called unless the CTF_LINK_NONDEDUP flag is passed in (which ld never does), or the environment variable LD_NO_CTF_DEDUP is set. Eventually, once we have confidence in the much-more-complex deduplicating linker, I hope the nondeduplicating linker can be removed. In brief, what this does is traverses each input archive in ctf_link_inputs, opening every member (if not already open) and tying child dicts to their parents, shoving them into an array and constructing a corresponding parents array that tells the deduplicator which dict is the parent of which child. We then call ctf_dedup and ctf_dedup_emit with that array of inputs, taking the outputs that result and putting them into ctf_link_outputs where the rest of the CTF linker expects to find them, then linking in the variables just as is done by the nondeduplicating linker. It also implements much of the CU-mapping side of things. The problem CU-mapping introduces is that if you map many input CUs into one output, this is saying that you want many translation units to produce at most one child dict if conflicting types are found in any of them. This means you can suddenly have multiple distinct types with the same name in the same dict, which libctf cannot really represent because it's not something you can do with C translation units. The deduplicator machinery already committed does as best it can with these, hiding types with conflicting names rather than making child dicts out of them: but we still need to call it. This is done similarly to the main link, taking the inputs (one CU output at a time), deduplicating them, taking the output and making it an input to the final link. Two (significant) optimizations are done: we share atoms tables between all these links and the final link (so e.g. all type hash values are shared, all decorated type names, etc); and any CU-mapped links with only one input (and no child dicts) doesn't need to do anything other than renaming the CU: the CU-mapped link phase can be skipped for it. Put together, large CU-mapped links can save 50% of their memory usage and about as much time (and the memory usage for CU-mapped links is significant, because all those output CUs have to have all their types stored in memory all at once). include/ * ctf-api.h (CTF_LINK_NONDEDUP): New, turn off the deduplicator. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h (ctf_list_splice): New. * ctf-util.h (ctf_list_splice): Likewise. * ctf-link.c (link_sort_inputs_cb_arg_t): Likewise.

Nick Alcock	6dd2819ffc	libctf, link: add the ability to filter out variables from the link The CTF variables section (containing variables that have no corresponding symtab entries) can cause the string table to get very voluminous if the names of variables are long. Some callers want to filter out particular variables they know they won't need. So add a "variable filter" callback that does that: it's passed the name of the variable and a corresponding ctf_file_t / ctf_id_t pair, and should return 1 to filter it out. ld doesn't use this machinery yet, but we could easily add it later if desired.

Nick Alcock	5f54462c6a	libctf, link: redo cu-mapping handling Now a bunch of stuff that doesn't apply to ld or any normal use of libctf, piled into one commit so that it's easier to ignore. The cu-mapping machinery associates incoming compilation unit names with outgoing names of CTF dictionaries that should correspond to them, for non-gdb CTF consumers that would like to group multiple TUs into a single child dict if conflicting types are found in it (the existing use case is one kernel module, one child CTF dict, even if the kernel module is composed of multiple CUs). The upcoming deduplicator needs to track not only the mapping from incoming CU name to outgoing dict name, but the inverse mapping from outgoing dict name to incoming CU name, so it can work over every CTF dict we might see in the output and link into it. So rejig the ctf-link machinery to do that. Simultaneously (because they are closely associated and were written at the same time), we add a new CTF_LINK_EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS flag to ctf_link, which tells the ctf_link machinery to create empty child dicts for each outgoing CU mapping even if no CUs that correspond to it exist in the link. This is a bit (OK, quite a lot) of a waste of space, but some existing consumers require it. (Nobody else should use it.) Its value is not consecutive with existing CTF_LINK flag values because we're about to add more flags that are conceptually closer to the existing ones than this one is. include/ * ctf-api.h (CTF_LINK_EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS): New. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h (ctf_file_t): Improve comments. <ctf_link_cu_mapping>: Split into... <ctf_link_in_cu_mapping>: ... this... <ctf_link_out_cu_mapping>: ... and this. * ctf-create.c (ctf_serialize): Adjust. * ctf-open.c (ctf_file_close): Likewise. * ctf-link.c (ctf_create_per_cu): Look things up in the in_cu_mapping instead of the cu_mapping.

Nick Alcock	8d2229ad1e	libctf, link: add lazy linking: clean up input members: err/warn cleanup This rather large and intertwined pile of changes does three things: First, it transitions from dprintf to ctf_err_warn for things the user might care about: this one file is the major impetus for the ctf_err_warn infrastructure, because things like file names are crucial in linker error messages, and errno values are utterly incapable of communicating them Second, it stabilizes the ctf_link APIs: you can now call ctf_link_add_ctf without a CTF argument (only a NAME), to lazily ctf_open the file with the given NAME when needed, and close it as soon as possible, to save memory. This is not an API change because a null CTF argument was prohibited before now. Since getting CTF directly from files uses ctf_open, passing in only a NAME requires use of libctf, not libctf-nobfd. The linker's behaviour is unchanged, as it still passes in a ctf_archive_t as before. This also let us fix a leak: we were opening ctf_archives and their containing ctf_files, then only closing the files and leaving the archives open. Third, this commit restructures the ctf_link_in_member argument used by the CTF linking machinery and adjusts its users accordingly. We drop two members: - arcname, which is difficult to construct and then only used in error messages (that were only dprintf()ed, so never seen!) - share_mode, since we store the flags passed to ctf_link (including the share mode) in a new ctf_file_t.ctf_link_flags to help dedup get hold of it We rename others whose existing names were fairly dreadful: - done_main_member -> done_parent, using consistent terminology for .ctf as the parent of all archive members - main_input_fp -> in_fp_parent, likewise - file_name -> in_file_name, likewise We add one new member, cu_mapped. Finally, we move the various frees of things like mapping table data to the top-level ctf_link, since deduplicating links will want to do that too. include/ * ctf-api.h (ECTF_NEEDSBFD): New.

Nick Alcock	8b37e7b63e	libctf, ld, binutils: add textual error/warning reporting for libctf This commit adds a long-missing piece of infrastructure to libctf: the ability to report errors and warnings using all the power of printf, rather than being restricted to one errno value. Internally, libctf calls ctf_err_warn() to add errors and warnings to a list: a new iterator ctf_errwarning_next() then consumes this list one by one and hands it to the caller, which can free it. New errors and warnings are added until the list is consumed by the caller or the ctf_file_t is closed, so you can dump them at intervals. The caller can of course choose to print only those warnings it wants. (I am not sure whether we want objdump, readelf or ld to print warnings or not: right now I'm printing them, but maybe we only want to print errors? This entirely depends on whether warnings are voluminous things describing e.g. the inability to emit single types because of name clashes or something. There are no users of this infrastructure yet, so it's hard to say.) There is no internationalization here yet, but this at least adds a place where internationalization can be added, to one of ctf_errwarning_next or ctf_err_warn. We also provide a new ctf_assert() function which uses this infrastructure to provide non-fatal assertion failures while emitting an assert-like string to the caller: to save space and avoid needlessly duplicating unchanging strings, the assertion test is inlined but the print-things-out failure case is not. All assertions in libctf will be converted to use this machinery in future commits and propagate assertion-failure errors up, so that the linker in particular cannot be killed by libctf assertion failures when it could perfectly well just print warnings and drop the CTF section. include/ * ctf-api.h (ECTF_INTERNAL): Adjust error text.

Nick Alcock	688d28f621	libctf, next: introduce new class of easier-to-use iterators The libctf machinery currently only provides one way to iterate over its data structures: ctf__iter functions that take a callback and an arg and repeatedly call it. This works, but if you are doing a lot of iteration it is really quite inconvenient: you have to package up your local variables into structures over and over again and spawn lots of little functions even if it would be clearer in a single run of code. Look at ctf-string.c for an extreme example of how unreadable this can get, with three-line-long functions proliferating wildly. The deduplicator takes this to the Nth level. It iterates over a whole bunch of things: if we'd had to use _iter-class iterators for all of them there would be twenty additional functions in the deduplicator alone, for no other reason than that the iterator API requires it. Let's do something better. strtok_r gives us half the design: generators in a number of other languages give us the other half. The _next API allows you to iterate over CTF-like entities in a single function using a normal while loop. e.g. here we are iterating over all the types in a dict: ctf_next_t i = NULL; int hidden; ctf_id_t id; while ((id = ctf_type_next (fp, &i, &hidden, 1)) != CTF_ERR) { /* do something with 'hidden' and 'id' / } if (ctf_errno (fp) != ECTF_NEXT_END) / iteration error / Here we are walking through the members of a struct with CTF ID 'struct_type': ctf_next_t i = NULL; ssize_t offset; const char name; ctf_id_t membtype; while ((offset = ctf_member_next (fp, struct_type, &i, &name, &membtype)) >= 0 { / do something with offset, name, and membtype / } if (ctf_errno (fp) != ECTF_NEXT_END) / iteration error / Like every other while loop, this means you have access to all the local variables outside the loop while inside it, with no need to tiresomely package things up in structures, move the body of the loop into a separate function, etc, as you would with an iterator taking a callback. ctf__next allocates 'i' for you on first entry (when it must be NULL), and frees and NULLs it and returns a _next-dependent flag value when the iteration is over: the fp errno is set to ECTF_NEXT_END when the iteartion ends normally. If you want to exit early, call ctf_next_destroy on the iterator. You can copy iterators using ctf_next_copy, which copies their current iteration position so you can remember loop positions and go back to them later (or ctf_next_destroy them if you don't need them after all). Each _next function returns an always-likely-to-be-useful property of the thing being iterated over, and takes pointers to parameters for the others: with very few exceptions all those parameters can be NULLs if you're not interested in them, so e.g. you can iterate over only the offsets of members of a structure this way: while ((offset = ctf_member_next (fp, struct_id, &i, NULL, NULL)) >= 0) If you pass an iterator in use by one iteration function to another one, you get the new error ECTF_NEXT_WRONGFUN back; if you try to change ctf_file_t in mid-iteration, you get ECTF_NEXT_WRONGFP back. Internally the ctf_next_t remembers the iteration function in use, various sizes and increments useful for almost all iterations, then uses unions to overlap the actual entities being iterated over to keep ctf_next_t size down. Iterators available in the public API so far (all tested in actual use in the deduplicator): /* Iterate over the members of a STRUCT or UNION, returning each member's offset and optionally name and member type in turn. On end-of-iteration, returns -1. / ssize_t ctf_member_next (ctf_file_t fp, ctf_id_t type, ctf_next_t it, const char name, ctf_id_t membtype); / Iterate over the members of an enum TYPE, returning each enumerand's NAME or NULL at end of iteration or error, and optionally passing back the enumerand's integer VALue. / const char ctf_enum_next (ctf_file_t fp, ctf_id_t type, ctf_next_t it, int val); /* Iterate over every type in the given CTF container (not including parents), optionally including non-user-visible types, returning each type ID and optionally the hidden flag in turn. Returns CTF_ERR on end of iteration or error. / ctf_id_t ctf_type_next (ctf_file_t fp, ctf_next_t *it, int flag, int want_hidden); /* Iterate over every variable in the given CTF container, in arbitrary order, returning the name and type of each variable in turn. The NAME argument is not optional. Returns CTF_ERR on end of iteration or error. / ctf_id_t ctf_variable_next (ctf_file_t fp, ctf_next_t it, const char name); /* Iterate over all CTF files in an archive, returning each dict in turn as a ctf_file_t, and NULL on error or end of iteration.

Nick Alcock	2399827bfa	libctf: add ctf_ref This allows you to bump the refcount on a ctf_file_t, so that you can smuggle it out of iterators which open and close the ctf_file_t for you around the loop body (like ctf_archive_iter).

But this can be inconvenient to use, becauswe it always allocates new storage for the string and copies it in, so it can potentially fail. Add ctf_type_name_raw, which just returns the string directly out of libctf's guts: it will live until the ctf_file_t is closed (if we later gain the ability to remove types from writable dicts, it will live as long as the type lives).

Nick Alcock	7eea9d3bdb	libctf: restructure error handling to reduce relocations Jose Marchesi noted that the traditional-Unix error array in ctf-error.c introduces one reloc per error to initialize the array: 58 so far. We can reduce this to zero using an array of carefully-sized individual members which is used to construct a string table, that is then referenced by the lookup functions: but doing this automatically is a pain. Bruno Haible wrote suitable code years ago: I got permission to reuse it (Bruno says "... which I hereby put in the public domain"); I modified it a tiny bit (similarly to what Ulrich Drepper did in the dsohowto text, but I redid it from scratch), commented it up a bit, and shifted the error table into that form, migrating it into the new file ctf-error.h. This has the advantage that it spotted both typos in the text of the errors in the comments in ctf-api.h and typos in the error defines in the comments in ctf-error.c, and places where the two were simply not in sync. All are now fixed. One new constant exists in ctf-api.h: CTF_NERR, since the old method of working out the number of errors in ctf-error.c was no longer usable, and it seems that the number of CTF errors is something users might reasonably want as well. It should be pretty easy to keep up to date as new errors are introduced. include/ * ctf-api.h (ECTF_): Improve comments. (ECTF_NERR): New. libctf/ ctf-error.c: Include <stddef.h>, for offsetof.

Nick Alcock	2f6ecaed66	libctf, binutils: support CTF archives like objdump objdump and readelf have one major CTF-related behavioural difference: objdump can read .ctf sections that contain CTF archives and extract and dump their members, while readelf cannot. Since the linker often emits CTF archives, this means that readelf intermittently and (from the user's perspective) randomly fails to read CTF in files that ld emits, with a confusing error message wrongly claiming that the CTF content is corrupt. This is purely because the archive-opening code in libctf was needlessly tangled up with the BFD code, so readelf couldn't use it. Here, we disentangle it, moving ctf_new_archive_internal from ctf-open-bfd.c into ctf-archive.c and merging it with the helper function in ctf-archive.c it was already using. We add a new public API function ctf_arc_bufopen, that looks very like ctf_bufopen but returns an archive given suitable section data rather than a ctf_file_t: the archive is a ctf_archive_t, so it can be called on raw CTF dictionaries (with no archive present) and will return a single-member synthetic "archive". There is a tiny lifetime tweak here: before now, the archive code could assume that the symbol section in the ctf_archive_internal wrapper structure was always owned by BFD if it was present and should always be freed: now, the caller can pass one in via ctf_arc_bufopen, wihch has the usual lifetime rules for such sections (caller frees): so we add an extra field to track whether this is an internal call from ctf-open-bfd, in which case we still free the symbol section. include/ * ctf-api.h (ctf_arc_bufopen): New. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h (ctf_new_archive_internal): Declare.

Nick Alcock	791915db42	libctf: handle nonrepresentable types at link time GCC can emit references to type 0 to indicate that this type is one that is not representable in the version of CTF it emits (for instance, version 3 cannot encode vector types). Type 0 is already used in the function section to indicate padding inserted to skip functions we do not want to encode the type of, so using zero in this way is a good extension of the format: but libctf reports such types as ECTF_BADID, which is indistinguishable from file corruption via links to truly nonexistent types with IDs like 0xDEADBEEF etc, which we really do want to stop for. In particular, this stops all traversals of types dead at this point, preventing us from even dumping CTF files containing unrepresentable types to see what's going on! So add a new error, ECTF_NONREPRESENTABLE, which is returned by recursive type resolution when a reference to a zero type is found. (No zero type is ever emitted into the CTF file by GCC, only references to one). We can't do much with types that are ultimately nonrepresentable, but we can do enough to keep functioning. Adjust ctf_add_type to ensure that top-level types of type zero and structure and union members of ultimate type zero are simply skipped without reporting an error, so we can copy structures and unions that contain nonrepresentable members (skipping them and leaving a hole where they would be, so no consumers downstream of the linker need to worry about this): adjust the dumper so that we dump members of nonrepresentable types in a simple form that indicates nonrepresentability rather than terminating the dump, and do not falsely assume all errors to be -ENOMEM: adjust the linker so that types that fail to get added are simply skipped, so that both nonrepresentable types and outright errors do not terminate the type addition, which could skip many valid types and cause further errors when variables of those types are added. In future, when we gain the ability to call back to the linker to report link-time type resolution errors, we should report failures to add all but nonrepresentable types. But we can't do that yet. v5: Fix tabdamage. include/ * ctf-api.h (ECTF_NONREPRESENTABLE): New. libctf/ * ctf-types.c (ctf_type_resolve): Return ECTF_NONREPRESENTABLE on type zero. * ctf-create.c (ctf_add_type): Detect and skip nonrepresentable members and types.

Nick Alcock	49ea9b450b	libctf: add CU-mapping machinery Once the deduplicator is capable of actually detecting conflicting types with the same name (i.e., not yet) we will place such conflicting types, and types that depend on them, into CTF dictionaries that are the child of the main dictionary we usually emit: currently, this will lead to the .ctf section becoming a CTF archive rather than a single dictionary, with the default-named archive member (_CTF_SECTION, or NULL) being the main shared dictionary with most of the types in it. By default, the sections are named after the compilation unit they come from (complete path and all), with the cuname field in the CTF header providing further evidence of the name without requiring the caller to engage in tiresome parsing. But some callers may not wish the mapping from input CU to output sub-dictionary to be purely CU-based. The machinery here allows this to be freely changed, in two ways: - callers can call ctf_link_add_cu_mapping to specify that a single input compilation unit should have its types placed in some other CU if they conflict: the CU will always be created, even if empty, so the consuming program can depend on its existence. You can map multiple input CUs to one output CU to force all their types to be merged together: if some of those types conflict, the behaviour is currently unspecified (the new deduplicator will specify it). - callers can call ctf_link_set_memb_name_changer to provide a function which is passed every CTF sub-dictionary name in turn (including _CTF_SECTION) and can return a new name, or NULL if no change is desired. The mapping from input to output names should not map two input names to the same output name: if this happens, the two are not merged but will result in an archive with two members with the same name (technically valid, but it's hard to access the second same-named member: you have to do an iteration over archive members). This is used by the kernel's ctfarchive machinery (not yet upstream) to encode CTF under member names like {module name}.ctf rather than .ctf.CU, but it is anticipated that other large projects may wish to have their own storage for CTF outside of .ctf sections and may wish to have new naming schemes that suit their special-purpose consumers.

Nick Alcock	eabb7154df	libctf: add linking of the variable section The compiler describes the name and type of all file-scope variables in this section. Merging it at link time requires using the type mapping added in the previous commit to determine the appropriate type for the variable in the output, given its type in the input: we check the shared container first, and if the type doesn't exist there, it must be a conflicted type in the per-CU child, and the variable should go there too. We also put the variable in the per-CU child if a variable with the same name but a different type already exists in the parent: we ignore any such conflict in the child because CTF cannot represent such things, nor can they happen unless a third-party linking program has overridden the mapping of CU to CTF archive member name (using machinery added in a later commit). v3: rewritten using an algorithm that actually works in the case of conflicting names.

Nick Alcock	72c83edd92	libctf: add the ctf_link machinery This is the start of work on the core of the linking mechanism for CTF sections. This commit handles the type and string sections. The linker calls these functions in sequence: ctf_link_add_ctf: to add each CTF section in the input in turn to a newly-created ctf_file_t (which will appear in the output, and which itself will become the shared parent that contains types that all TUs have in common (in all link modes) and all types that do not have conflicting definitions between types (by default). Input files that are themselves products of ld -r are supported, though this is not heavily tested yet. ctf_link: called once all input files are added to merge the types in all the input containers into the output container, eliminating duplicates. ctf_link_add_strtab: called once the ELF string table is finalized and all its offsets are known, this calls a callback provided by the linker which returns the string content and offset of every string in the ELF strtab in turn: all these strings which appear in the input CTF strtab are eliminated from it in favour of the ELF strtab: equally, any strings that only appear in the input strtab will reappear in the internal CTF strtab of the output. ctf_link_shuffle_syms (not yet implemented): called once the ELF symtab is finalized, this calls a callback provided by the linker which returns information on every symbol in turn as a ctf_link_sym_t. This is then used to shuffle the function info and data object sections in the CTF section into symbol table order, eliminating the index sections which map those sections to symbol names before that point. Currently just returns ECTF_NOTYET. ctf_link_write: Returns a buffer containing either a serialized ctf_file_t (if there are no types with conflicting definitions in the object files in the link) or a ctf_archive_t containing a large ctf_file_t (the common types) and a bunch of small ones named after individual CUs in which conflicting types are found (containing the conflicting types, and all types that reference them). A threshold size above which compression takes place is passed as one parameter. (Currently, only gzip compression is supported, but I hope to add lzma as well.) Lifetime rules for this are simple: don't close the input CTF files until you've called ctf_link for the last time. We do not assume that symbols or strings passed in by the callback outlast the call to ctf_link_add_strtab or ctf_link_shuffle_syms. Right now, the duplicate elimination mechanism is the one already present as part of the ctf_add_type function, and is not particularly good: it misses numerous actual duplicates, and the conflicting-types detection hardly ever reports that types conflict, even when they do (one of them just tends to get silently dropped): it is also very slow. This will all be fixed in the next few weeks, but the fix hardly touches any of this code, and the linker does work without it, just not as well as it otherwise might. (And when no CTF section is present, there is no effect on performance, of course. So only people using a trunk GCC with not-yet-committed patches will even notice. By the time it gets upstream, things should be better.) v3: Fix error handling. v4: check for strdup failure. v5: fix tabdamage. include/ * ctf-api.h (struct ctf_link_sym): New, a symbol in flight to the libctf linking machinery.

Nick Alcock	5537f9b9a3	libctf: write CTF files to memory, and CTF archives to fds Before now, we've been able to write CTF files to gzFile descriptors or fds, and CTF archives to named files only. Make this a bit less irregular by allowing CTF archives to be written to fds with the new function ctf_arc_write_fd: also allow CTF files to be written to a new memory buffer via ctf_write_mem. (It would be nice to complete things by adding a new function to write CTF archives to memory, but this is too difficult to do given the short time the linker is expected to be writing them out: we will transition to a better format in format v4, though we will always support reading CTF archives that are stored in .ctf sections.) include/ * ctf-api.h (ctf_arc_write_fd): New.

Nick Alcock	fd55eae84d	libctf: allow the header to change between versions libctf supports dynamic upgrading of the type table as file format versions change, but before now has not supported changes to the CTF header. Doing this is complicated by the baroque storage method used: the CTF header is kept prepended to the rest of the CTF data, just as when read from the file, and written out from there, and is endian-flipped in place. This makes accessing it needlessly hard and makes it almost impossible to make the header larger if we add fields. The general storage machinery around the malloced ctf pointer (the 'ctf_base') is also overcomplicated: the pointer is sometimes malloced locally and sometimes assigned from a parameter, so freeing it requires checking to see if that parameter was used, needlessly coupling ctf_bufopen and ctf_file_close together. So split the header out into a new ctf_file_t.ctf_header, which is written out explicitly: squeeze it out of the CTF buffer whenever we reallocate it, and use ctf_file_t.ctf_buf to skip past the header when we do not need to reallocate (when no upgrading or endian-flipping is required). We now track whether the CTF base can be freed explicitly via a new ctf_dynbase pointer which is non-NULL only when freeing is possible. With all this done, we can upgrade the header on the fly and add new fields as desired, via a new upgrade_header function in ctf-open. As with other forms of upgrading, libctf upgrades older headers automatically to the latest supported version at open time. For a first use of this field, we add a new string field cth_cuname, and a corresponding setter/getter pair ctf_cuname_set and ctf_cuname: this is used by debuggers to determine whether a CTF section's types relate to a single compilation unit, or to all compilation units in the program. (Types with ambiguous definitions in different CUs have only one of these types placed in the top-level shared .ctf container: the rest are placed in much smaller per-CU containers, which have the shared container as their parent. Since CTF must be useful in the absence of DWARF, we store the names of the relevant CUs ourselves, so the debugger can look them up.) v5: fix tabdamage. include/ * ctf-api.h (ctf_cuname): New function.

Nick Alcock	12a0b67d28	libctf: introduce ctf_func_type_{info,args}, ctf_type_aname_raw The first two of these allow you to get function type info and args out of the types section give a type ID: astonishingly, this was missing from libctf before now: so even though types of kind CTF_K_FUNCTION were supported, you couldn't find out anything about them. (The existing ctf_func_info and ctf_func_args only allow you to get info about functions in the function section, i.e. given symbol table indexes, not type IDs.) The second of these allows you to get the raw undecorated name out of the CTF section (strdupped for safety) without traversing subtypes to build a full C identifier out of it.

Nick Alcock	143dce8481	libctf: ELF file opening via BFD These functions let you open an ELF file with a customarily-named CTF section in it, automatically opening the CTF file or archive and associating the symbol and string tables in the ELF file with the CTF container, so that you can look up the types of symbols in the ELF file via ctf_lookup_by_symbol(), and so that strings can be shared between the ELF file and CTF container, to save space. It uses BFD machinery to do so. This has now been lightly tested and seems to work. In particular, if you already have a bfd you can pass it in to ctf_bfdopen(), and if you want a bfd made for you you can call ctf_open() or ctf_fdopen(), optionally specifying a target (or try once without a target and then again with one if you get ECTF_BFD_AMBIGUOUS back). We use a forward declaration for the struct bfd in ctf-api.h, so that ctf-api.h users are not required to pull in <bfd.h>.

Nick Alcock	9402cc593f	libctf: mmappable archives If you need to store a large number of CTF containers somewhere, this provides a dedicated facility for doing so: an mmappable archive format like a very simple tar or ar without all the system-dependent format horrors or need for heavy file copying, with built-in compression of files above a particular size threshold. libctf automatically mmap()s uncompressed elements of these archives, or uncompresses them, as needed. (If the platform does not support mmap(), copying into dynamically-allocated buffers is used.) Archive iteration operations are partitioned into raw and non-raw forms. Raw operations pass thhe raw archive contents to the callback: non-raw forms open each member with ctf_bufopen() and pass the resulting ctf_file_t to the iterator instead. This lets you manipulate the raw data in the archive, or the contents interpreted as a CTF file, as needed. It is not yet known whether we will store CTF archives in a linked ELF object in one of these (akin to debugdata) or whether they'll get one section per TU plus one parent container for types shared between them. (In the case of ELF objects with very large numbers of TUs, an archive of all of them would seem preferable, so we might just use an archive, and add lzma support so you can assume that .gnu_debugdata and .ctf are compressed using the same algorithm if both are present.) To make usage easier, the ctf_archive_t is not the on-disk representation but an abstraction over both ctf_file_t's and archives of many ctf_file_t's: users see both CTF archives and raw CTF files as ctf_archive_t's upon opening, the only difference being that a raw CTF file has only a single "archive member", named ".ctf" (the default if a null pointer is passed in as the name). The next commit will make use of this facility, in addition to providing the public interface to actually open archives. (In the future, it should be possible to have all CTF sections in an ELF file appear as an "archive" in the same fashion.) This machinery is also used to allow library-internal creators of ctf_archive_t's (such as the next commit) to stash away an ELF string and symbol table, so that all opens of members in a given archive will use them. This lets CTF archives exploit the ELF string and symbol table just like raw CTF files can. (All this leads to somewhat confusing type naming. The ctf_archive_t is a typedef for the opaque internal type, struct ctf_archive_internal: the non-internal "struct ctf_archive" is the on-disk structure meant for other libraries manipulating CTF files. It is probably clearest to use the struct name for struct ctf_archive_internal inside the program, and the typedef names outside.) libctf/ * ctf-archive.c: New. * ctf-impl.h (ctf_archive_internal): New type.

Nick Alcock	72f3392127	libctf: opening This fills in the other half of the opening/creation puzzle: opening of already-existing CTF files. Such files are always read-only: if you want to add to a CTF file opened with one of the opening functions in this file, use ctf_add_type(), in a later commit, to copy appropriate types into a newly ctf_create()d, writable container. The lowest-level opening functions are in here: ctf_bufopen(), which takes ctf_sect_t structures akin to ELF section headers, and ctf_simple_open(), which can be used if you don't have an entire ELF section header to work from. Both will malloc() new space for the buffers only if necessary, will mmap() directly from the file if requested, and will mprotect() it afterwards to prevent accidental corruption of the types. These functions are also used by ctf_update() when converting types in a writable container into read-only types that can be looked up using the lookup functions (in later commits). The files are always of the native endianness of the system that created them: at read time, the endianness of the header magic number is used to determine whether or not the file needs byte-swapping, and the entire thing is aggressively byte-swapped. The agggressive nature of this swapping avoids complicating the rest of the code with endianness conversions, while the native endianness introduces no byte-swapping overhead in the common case. (The endianness-independence code is also much newer than everything else in this file, and deserves closer scrutiny.) The accessors at the top of the file are there to transparently support older versions of the CTF file format, allowing translation from older formats that have different sizes for the structures in ctf.h: currently, these older formats are intermingled with the newer ones in ctf.h: they will probably migrate to a compatibility header in time, to ease readability. The ctf_set_base() function is split out for the same reason: when conversion code to a newer format is written, it would need to malloc() new storage for the entire ctf_file_t if a file format change causes it to grow, and for that we need ctf_set_base() to be a separate function. One pair of linked data structures supported by this file has no creation code in libctf yet: the data and function object sections read by init_symtab(). These will probably arrive soon, when the linker comes to need them. (init_symtab() has hardly been changed since 2009, but if any code in libctf has rotted over time, this will.) A few simple accessors are also present that can even be called on read-only containers because they don't actually modify them, since the relevant things are not stored in the container but merely change its operation: ctf_setmodel(), which lets you specify whether a container is LP64 or not (used to statically determine the sizes of a few types), ctf_import(), which is the only way to associate a parent container with a child container, and ctf_setspecific(), which lets the caller associate an arbitrary pointer with the CTF container for any use. If the user doesn't call these functions correctly, libctf will misbehave: this is particularly important for ctf_import(), since a container built against a given parent container will not be able to resolve types that depend on types in the parent unless it is ctf_import()ed with a parent container with the same set of types at the same IDs, or a superset. Possible future extensions (also noted in the ctf-hash.c file) include storing a count of things so that we don't need to do one pass over the CTF file counting everything, and computing a perfect hash at CTF creation time in some compact form, storing it in the CTF file, and using it to hash things so we don't need to do a second pass over the entire CTF file to set up the hashes used to go from names to type IDs. (There are multiple such hashes, one for each C type namespace: types, enums, structs, and unions.) libctf/ * ctf-open.c: New file. * swap.h: Likewise. include/ * ctf-api.h (ctf_file_close): New declaration.
