libctf: minor error-handling fixes
A transient bug in the preceding change (fixed before commit) exposed a new failure, of ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/diag-parname.d. This attempts to ensure that if we link a dict with child type IDs but no attached parent, we get a suitable ECTF_NOPARENT error. This was happening before this commit, but only by chance, because ctf_variable_iter and ctf_variable_next check to see if the dict they're passed is a child dict without an associated parent. We forgot error-checking on the ctf_variable_next call, and as a result this was concealed -- and looking for the problem exposed a new bug. If any of the lookups beneath ctf_dedup_hash_type fail, the CTF link does *not* fail, but acts quite bizarrely, skipping the type but emitting an error to the CTF error/warning log -- so the linker will report an error, emit a partial CTF dict missing some types, and exit with exitcode 0 as if nothing went wrong. Since ctf_dedup_hash_type is never expected to fail in normal operation, this is surely wrong: failures at emission time do not emit partial CTF dicts, so failures at hashing time should not either. So propagate the error back up. Also fix a couple of smaller bugs where we fail to properly free things and/or propagate error codes on various rare link-time errors and out-of-memory conditions. libctf/ChangeLog 2021-03-02 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * ctf-dedup.c (ctf_dedup): Pass on errors from ctf_dedup_hash_type. Call ctf_dedup_fini properly on other errors. (ctf_dedup_emit_type): Set the errno on dynhash insertion failure. * ctf-link.c (ctf_link_deduplicating_per_cu): Close outputs beyond output 0 when asserting because >1 output is found. (ctf_link_deduplicating): Likewise, when asserting because the shared output is not the same as the passed-in fp.
