2024-01-04Update year range in copyright notice of binutils filesAlan Modra
Adds two new external authors to etc/update-copyright.py to cover bfd/ax_tls.m4, and adds gprofng to dirs handled automatically, then updates copyright messages as follows: 1) Update cgen/utils.scm emitted copyrights. 2) Run "etc/update-copyright.py --this-year" with an extra external author I haven't committed, 'Kalray SA.', to cover gas testsuite files (which should have their copyright message removed). 3) Build with --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes. 4) Check out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently.
2023-12-21ld: Add lib32 directories for 32-bit emulation on FreeBSD/amd64Rainer Orth
GNU ld currently fails to link 32-bit executables on FreeBSD/amd64 when the linked libraries have dependencies on shared objects themselves: $ gcc -m32 -o ei ei.c -lexecinfo /var/gcc/binutils/amd64/lib/gcc/amd64-pc-freebsd14.0/13.2.0/../../../../amd64-pc-freebsd14.0/bin/ld: warning: libelf.so.2, needed by /usr/lib/../lib32/libexecinfo.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /var/gcc/binutils/amd64/lib/gcc/amd64-pc-freebsd14.0/13.2.0/../../../../amd64-pc-freebsd14.0/bin/ld: /usr/lib/../lib32/libexecinfo.so: undefined reference to `elf_begin@R1.0' [...] Fixed by handling FreeBSD/amd64 like Linux/x86. Tested on amd64-pc-freebsd14.0.

2023-11-28libiberty, ld: Use x86 HW optimized sha1Jakub Jelinek
The following patch attempts to use x86 SHA ISA if available to speed up in my testing about 2.5x sha1 build-id processing (in my case on AMD Ryzen 5 3600) while producing the same result. I believe AArch64 has similar HW acceleration for SHA1, perhaps it could be added similarly. Note, seems lld uses BLAKE3 rather than md5/sha1. I think it would be a bad idea to lie to users, if they choose --buildid=sha1, we should be using SHA1, not some other checksum, but perhaps we could add some other --buildid= styles and perhaps make one of the new the default. Tested on x86_64-linux, both on Intel i9-7960X (which doesn't have sha_ni ISA support) without/with the patch and on AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (which does have it) without/with the patch. 2023-11-28 Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com> include/ * sha1.h (sha1_process_bytes_fn): New typedef. (sha1_choose_process_bytes): Declare. libiberty/ * configure.ac (HAVE_X86_SHA1_HW_SUPPORT): New check. * sha1.c: If HAVE_X86_SHA1_HW_SUPPORT is defined, include x86intrin.h and cpuid.h.
