I don't understand much the details but I think what H.J. Lu was trying to say
is that maybe was fixed for ELF but not for PE/COFF so to have a look at the
mentioned PRs.
I cannot suggest any of them, PR 0 refers to PREVAILING_DEF_IRONLY but the
issue seems the opposite.

Hi Mingi,

  I am unable to reproduce this bug. :-(

  Do you have the fix for PR 24235 applied in the sources you are using ?
  (Commit 179f2db0d9c).

Hi Mingi,

  I am sorry, but I am unable to reproduce this bug.  Are you using the
  latest binutils sources ?  If so, please could you tell me how you
  configured the toolchain that you are running, and also if you are
  testing in a 32-bit or 64-bit environment ?

Hi Matthias,

  I cannot reproduce this problem, using either the current mainline sources,
  the 2.32 branch sources or the 2.31 branch sources, and using both ld.bfd
  and ld.gold. :-(

  Is it possible that this is an artefact of the host system ?  Ie were the
  tests being run on a 32-bit host ?

Cheers

Hi Nick,

I used the latest binutils sources, and compiled with following configuration:

CC=clang-5.0 CXX=clang++-5.0 CFLAGS="-m32 -g -O0 -fsanitize=address
-fsanitize-recover=address" CXXFLAGS="-m32 -g -O0 -fsanitize=address

I was run the program on Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64.

I know, I filtered these PRs:

PR23958 - elf-related change, but related to symbol versioning
PR23818 - likewise
PR23309 - changes only in generic code
PR22983 - related to dynamic-list only
PR22751 - changes only in generic code
PR22502 - elf-related change, might by a candidate for COFF
PR20321 - a segfault, changes in generic code
PR20267 - llvm-related crash
PR18250 - likewise
PR21382 - elf-related change, might by a candidate for COFF
PR0 - elf-related change, might by a candidate for COFF, but's symbol
versioning related

I'll investigate PR22502 and PR21382

--- Comment #1 from Joe Burzinski  ---
I have run into this same behavior and found it frustrating so I'm putting
together a small patch to change dwp to first use the relative path as it used
to and then construct an absolute path using DW_AT_comp_dir as a prefix and try
that second. I'm looking for some guidance regarding a couple things:
1. Maintaining backwards compatibility.
2. Silencing "error: cannot open a.dwo: No such file or directory" until we've
determined we also can't find a.dwo in the compile location.
3. Writing tests for this. I see two bash scripts that can be run but I'm not
sure I follow what the C++ files named dwp_test_* are doing.

As far as item 1 is concerned, I have tried to maintain backwards compatibility
by first checking relative path (what dwp used to do) and then falling back to
using the location specified by DW_AT_comp_dir to create an absolute path and
attempt to open the file at that location instead. Unfortunately, this causes
item 2 to be a problem. For the basic test case provided by Mitchell and my own
use cases dwp will give an error message for most, if not all, .dwo files that
it initially cannot find by searching the relative path.

--- Comment #3 from Matthias Klose  ---
there's a custom linker script in the libqb source

$ cat lib/qblog_script.ld.in 
#include 
/* GNU ld script
   This atypical arrangement enforces global visibility of boundary symbols
   (QB_ATTR_SECTION_START, QB_ATTR_SECTION_STOP) for the custom section
   QB_ATTR_SECTION used for compile-time offloading of the logging call sites
   tracking.  While libqb relies on these being global, default linker from
   binutils change the visibility as of version 2.29, making the logging
   unusable without artificial stimulus: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1477354

   NOTE: If -lqb not usable for linking (e.g. linker not compatible with
 linker scripts ad-hoc modifying output sections), try recent
 ld.bfd/binutils linker first when available, otherwise you can
 try "-l:libqb.so." link switch that bypasses said linker
 script -- but beware, logging may be less efficient and may lack
 possible future optimizations and extra features.  Consequently,
 logging issues (typically bound to QB_LOG_INIT_DATA macro) can be
 mitigated with QB_KILL_ATTRIBUTE_SECTION macro defined for a build.
   NOTE: When concerned about a warning coming from the build process like
 warning: [...]libqb.so contains output sections; did you forget -T?
 while it finishes OK, consider it merely a harmless side-effect.

Created attachment 11655
  --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=11655&action=edit
Example of binary file that triggers the crash, simply run it as objdump -x c01

Hello.

I was doing some testing with fuzzing when I realised that the fuzzer was
finding some segmentation faults with some entries.

I attach one example.
I have run it on objdump 2.32. to reproduce it just run objdump -x c01

Doing a little bit of backtracing I found all of the problems reside on the
when trying to read the pdata section.

The backtrace is as follow:
#0  0x55738348 in bfd_getl32 (p=0x82ee3b7c) at libbfd.c:699

#13 0x555b63aa in _start () at ./objdump.c:4083

Taking a closer look at the code it seems like the pdata section is not well
mapped as the filepos field of the pdata_section struct doesnt match with the
begining byte of the section. Therefore the variables altent and pdata_vam
don't make sense so when peforming at line 731 of bfd/pei-x86_64.c:
 pex64_get_runtime_function (abfd, &arf, &pdata[altent - pdata_vma]);

It produces a segmentation fault, I pretty possitive because it goes out of
bounds or the value of altent - pdata_vma doesn't make sense.

Please keep in mind that the imput is wrong formated as its the result from
fuzzing.

I am pretty new to all of this so please fell totally free to correct me if I
am wrong. I will try to dig deeper trying to find the source of the bug, if
anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it

[Bug gas/24279] New: ARMv8.5 extension incorrectly named "predres" instead of "predinv"

Bug ID: 24279
   Summary: ARMv8.5 extension incorrectly named "predres" instead
of "predinv"
   Product: binutils
   Version: 2.33 (HEAD)
Status: NEW
  Severity: normal
  Priority: P2
 Component: gas
  Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
  Reporter: rth at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

commit dad0c3bfb5e32ff3f2a03830dc189fe207c7ae00
Author: Sudakshina Das 
Date:   Fri Oct 5 10:51:22 2018 +0100

[Arm, 3/3] Add Execution and Data Prediction instructions for AArch32

This patch is part of the patch series to add support for ARMv8.5-A
extensions.

   
(https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/cpu-architecture/a-profile/
exploration-tools)

This patch adds the Execution and Data Prediction Restriction
instructions (that is, cfprctx, dvprxtc, cpprctx). These are all
aliases to MCR and are disassembled as such.

This instruction is retrospectively made optional for all versions of
the architecture from ARMv8.0 to ARMv8.4 and is mandatory from
ARMv8.5.  Hence adding a new +predres for older versions of the
architecture.

-

The official name of the extension is v8.0-PredInv.
(You can see this used in the xml descriptions for the new insns, eg:
https://developer.arm.com/docs/ddi0595/b/aarch64-system-instructions/cfp-rctx )

--- Comment #1 from Richard Henderson  ---
I can only presume that this has been renamed from "restriction"
to "invalidation" at some later version of the spec than when it
was implemented for binutils last October.

I received push-back on matching the "predres" naming within qemu,
and I think we should be consistent across the development environment
while this is still brand new.
