An update that solves 8 vulnerabilities, contains three
features and has 6 fixes is now available.
Description:
This update for binutils fixes the following issues:
binutils was updated to version 2.35.1 (jsc#ECO-2373)
Additional branch fixes applied on top of 2.35.1:
* Fixes PR26520, aka [bsc#1179036], a problem in addr2line with certain
DWARF variable descriptions.
* Also fixes PR26711, PR26656, PR26655, PR26929, PR26808, PR25878,
PR26740, PR26778, PR26763, PR26685, PR26699, PR26902, PR26869, PR26711
* The above includes fixes for dwo files produced by modern dwp, fixing
several problems in the DWARF reader.
Update to binutils 2.35.1 and rebased branch diff:
* This is a point release over the previous 2.35 version, containing bug
fixes, and as an exception to the usual rule, one new feature. The new
feature is the support for a new directive in the assembler: ".nop".
This directive creates a single no-op instruction in whatever encoding
is correct for the target architecture. Unlike the .space or .fill this
is a real instruction, and it does affect the generation of DWARF line
number tables, should they be enabled.
Update to binutils 2.35:
* The assembler can now produce DWARF-5 format line number tables.
* Readelf now has a "lint" mode to enable extra checks of the files it is
processing.
* Readelf will now display "[...]" when it has to truncate a symbol name.
The old behaviour - of displaying as many characters as possible, up to
the 80 column limit - can be restored by the use of the
--silent-truncation
option.
* The linker can now produce a dependency file listing the inputs that it
has processed, much like the -M -MP option supported by the compiler.
- fix DT_NEEDED order with -flto [bsc#1163744]
Update to binutils 2.34:
* The disassembler (objdump --disassemble) now has an option to generate
ascii art thats show the arcs between that start and end points of
control flow instructions.
* The binutils tools now have support for debuginfod. Debuginfod is a
HTTP service for distributing ELF/DWARF debugging information as well as
source code. The tools can now connect to debuginfod servers in order
to download debug information about the files that they are processing.
* The assembler and linker now support the generation of ELF format files
for the Z80 architecture.
- Add new subpackages for libctf and libctf-nobfd.
- Disable LTO due to bsc#1163333.
- Includes fixes for these CVEs: bsc#1153768 aka CVE-2019-17451 aka
PR25070 bsc#1153770 aka CVE-2019-17450 aka PR25078
- fix various build fails on aarch64 (PR25210, bsc#1157755).
Update to binutils 2.33.1:
* Adds support for the Arm Scalable Vector Extension version 2 (SVE2)
instructions, the Arm Transactional Memory Extension (TME) instructions
and the Armv8.1-M Mainline and M-profile Vector Extension (MVE)
instructions.
* Adds support for the Arm Cortex-A76AE, Cortex-A77 and Cortex-M35P
processors and the AArch64 Cortex-A34, Cortex-A65, Cortex-A65AE,
Cortex-A76AE, and Cortex-A77 processors.
* Adds a .float16 directive for both Arm and AArch64 to allow encoding of
16-bit floating point literals.
* For MIPS, Add -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc option to fix (or not) Loongson3
LLSC Errata. Add a --enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc=[yes|no] configure
time option to set the default behavior. Set the default if the
configure option is not used to "no".
* The Cortex-A53 Erratum 843419 workaround now supports a choice of which
workaround to use. The option --fix-cortex-a53-843419 now takes an
optional argument --fix-cortex-a53-843419[=full|adr|adrp] which can be
used to force a particular workaround to be used. See --help for AArch64
for more details.
* Add support for GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI and
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC in ELF GNU program properties in the
AArch64 ELF linker.
* Add -z force-bti for AArch64 to enable GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI
on output while warning about missing GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI
on inputs and use PLTs protected with BTI.
* Add -z pac-plt for AArch64 to pick PAC enabled PLTs.
* Add --source-comment[=<txt>] option to objdump which if present,
provides a prefix to source code lines displayed in a disassembly.
* Add --set-section-alignment <section-name>=<power-of-2-align>
option to objcopy to allow the changing of section alignments.
* Add --verilog-data-width option to objcopy for verilog targets to
control width of data elements in verilog hex format.
* The separate debug info file options of readelf (--debug-dump=links and
--debug-dump=follow) and objdump (--dwarf=links and
--dwarf=follow-links) will now display and/or follow multiple links if
more than one are present in a file. (This usually happens when gcc's
-gsplit-dwarf option is used). In addition objdump's
--dwarf=follow-links now also affects its
other display options, so that for example, when combined with
--syms it will cause the symbol tables in any linked debug info files to
also be displayed. In addition when combined with
--disassemble the --dwarf= follow-links option will ensure that any
symbol tables in the linked files are read and used when disassembling
code in the main file.
* Add support for dumping types encoded in the Compact Type Format to
objdump and readelf.
