# 255874 26-Sep-2013 andrew

Add an elf note on ARM to store the MACHINE_ARCH an executable was built
for. This is useful for software needing to know which architecture a
binary is built for as arm and armv6 have slight differences meaning only
some binaries build for one will work as expected on the other. It is
expected pkgng will be able to make use of this to simplify the logic to
determine which package ABI to use.

# 255522 13-Sep-2013 emaste

Improve readelf notes output for Linux ELF files

Add four ELF note constants:
- NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO (core file notes output by recent Linux kernels)
- NT_GNU_ABI_TAG (was incorrectly reported as NT_VERSION)
- NT_GNU_BUILD_ID (used for locating standalone debug files)

Approved by: re (kib)


# 253451 18-Jul-2013 emaste

Handle FreeBSD-specific ELF notes

Add a function to return the specific type, when the note's Name field is
'FreeBSD'.

r249558 added FreeBSD-specific ELF note types that reuse type numbers of
existing generic / Linux types. This caused 'readelf -n' to produce
incorrect output on FreeBSD core files.

# 249603 18-Apr-2013 andrew

Fix the value of NT_FREEBSD_TAG to be the same as ABI_NOTRTYPE in lib/csu.
Add NT_FREEBSD_NOINIT_TAG for the value of CRT_NOINIT_NOTETYPE.
Check for both of these when detecting a FreeBSD binary in gdb.


# 246312 04-Feb-2013 andrew

Extend GDB to check the value in the .note.tag section along with the
.note.ABI-tag section.

This helps on ARM EABI where the OS/ABI field is zero. It would be better
to use the NOTES program header however this would require a more invasive
change.


# 218822 18-Feb-2011 dim

Merge binutils 2.17.50 to head. This brings a number of improvements to
x86 CPU support, better support for powerpc64, some new directives, and
many other things. Bump __FreeBSD_version, and add a note to UPDATING.

Thanks to the many people that have helped to test this.

# 215679 22-Nov-2010 attilio

Add the ability for GDB to printout the thread name along with other
thread specific informations.

In order to do that, and in order to avoid KBI breakage with existing
infrastructure the following semantic is implemented:
- For live programs, a new member to the PT_LWPINFO is added (pl_tdname)
- For cores, a new ELF note is added (NT_THRMISC) that can be used for
storing thread specific, miscellaneous, informations. Right now it is
just popluated with a thread name.

GDB, then, retrieves the correct informations from the corefile via the
BFD interface, as it groks the ELF notes and create appropriate
pseudo-sections.
