If the output object is not an ELF file, choose an arbitrary ELF format
for the intermediate file. srec, ihex and binary formats are independent
of class, endianness and machine type so these choices do not affect the
output.
ELF Tool Chain ticket #517
Reviewed by: kai
Obtained from: ELF Tool Chain r3411
Some notable improvements include:
readelf:
- Add AArch64 relocation definitions.
- Report value of unknown relocation types.
elfcopy:
- Consider symbols with STB_GNU_UNIQUE binding as global symbols.
- Fixed support for VMA adjustment for loadable sections found
in relocatable objects.
- Handle nameless global symbols.
- Improve wildcard matching for !-prefixed symbols.
- Add PE/COFF support.
elfdump:
- Improve section type reporting.
- Add MIPS-specific section types.
This update also includes a significant number of bug fixes.

The change in r291958 was not consistent with GNU objcopy. The start,
end and size symbols created for ELF objects converted from binary need
to include the full filename including the extension, but with the
periods replaced with underscores.

When converting from binary to ELF, elfcopy creates symbols
_binary_<filename>_start_, _binary_<filename>_end, and
_binary_<filename>_size. For compatibility with GNU objcopy (and to
produce sensible symbol names) the extension must be stripped off.

Some binaries (such as the FreeBSD kernel) contain a mixture of CUs
with and without debug information. Previously translate() exited upon
encountering a CU without debug information. Instead, just move on to
the next CU.

ELF Tool Chain built on FreeBSD's ar and elfdump, but has a number of
improvements and enhancements. Bring them into contrib in order to start
integrating into our build.
As of LLVM revision 238073, LLVM stores symbols and section names in
the same string table. From the upstream commit mesage:
With the scheme of naming sections like ".text.foo" where foo is a
symbol, there is a big potential saving in using a single one.
This is a cherry-pick of ELF Tool Chain revision 3225.

Highlights (upstream revisions):
- Fix SHT_GROUP handling in elfcopy/strip (3206 3220 3221)
- Misc elfcopy / strip bug fixes (3215 3216 3217)
- Many C++ demangler improvements (3199 3200 3201 3202 3203 3204 3205
3208 3210 3211 3212)
- Improve GNU binutils compatibility in elfcopy / strip (3213 3214)
- Add -g option to readelf(1): dump contents of section groups (3219)
- Add EM_IAMCU 32-bit Intel MCU (3198)
Also add a compat #define for building with older FreeBSD ELF headers.
The GRP_COMDAT flag was added to elf_common.h in r283110, but it's not
available during the bootstrap build. It is also convenient to be able
to build on older hosts.
Thanks to antoine@ for tracking down issues through multiple exp-runs
and to kaiw@ for fixing.

Highlights:
- Fix man page markup, whitespace, and typos
- Fix sh_info of SHT_GROUP section to point to the correct string
- Improve validation in readelf and elfcopy/strip
- Handle DWARF 4's DW_AT_high_pc in addr2line

This can occur when DW_AT_specification is used to refer to another DIE
that provides the actual DW_AT_name string. For example:
< 3><0x00000086> DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_name PrettyStackTraceEntry
...
< 1><0x00002cf4> DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_specification <0x00000086>
We will need to add support for DW_AT_specification, but in the interim
we should not segfault.

Some architectures use .rel relocations (for debug data), so they must
be handled.
This was discovered from ctfconvert on ARM object files. The lack of
relocation handling caused all string lookups to return the string at
offset 0 in .debug_str, typically "FreeBSD clang version ..."

Strip is often used to modify existing files, rather than creating new
files. If the existing file has hard links or is a symbolic link, act as
if editing the file in place and preserve the links.

The initial fix in r276374 is valid only for 64-bit objects. Revert it
and return an error in CHECK_EHDR if the multiplication would overflow.
The original buffer overflow issue was found with the security/afl

This fixes two strip(1) issues found during ports exp-run and adds a
string hash implementation which significantly speeds up certain
operations on objects with large numbers of symbols.
This also improves libdwarf handling for stripped objects with
