fix PR symtab/15597
This patch fixes gdb PR symtab/15597. The bug is that the .gnu_debugaltlink section includes the build-id of the alt file, but gdb does not use it. This patch fixes the problem by changing gdb to do what it ought to always have done: verify the build id of the file found using the filename in .gnu_debugaltlink; and if that does not match, try to find the correct debug file using the build-id and debug-file-directory. This patch touches BFD. Previously, gdb had its own code for parsing .gnu_debugaltlink; I changed it to use the BFD functions after those were introduced. However, the BFD functions are incorrect -- they assume that .gnu_debugaltlink is formatted like .gnu_debuglink. However, it it is not. Instead, it consists of a file name followed by the build-id -- no alignment, and the build-id is not a CRC. Fixing this properly is a bit of a pain. But, because separate_alt_debug_file_exists just has a FIXME for the build-id case, I did not fix it properly. Instead I introduced a hack. This leaves BFD working just as well as it did before my patch. I'm willing to do something better here but I could use some guidance as to what. It seems that the build-id code in BFD is largely punted on. FWIW gdb is the only user of bfd_get_alt_debug_link_info outside of BFD itself. I moved the build-id logic out of elfread.c and into a new file. This seemed cleanest to me. Writing a test case was a bit of a pain. I added a couple new features to the DWARF assembler to handle this. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18. * bfd-in2.h: Rebuild. * opncls.c (bfd_get_alt_debug_link_info): Add buildid_len parameter. Change type of buildid_out. Update. (get_alt_debug_link_info_shim): New function. (bfd_follow_gnu_debuglink): Use it. * Makefile.in (SFILES): Add build-id.c. (HFILES_NO_SRCDIR): Add build-id.h. * build-id.c: New file, largely from elfread.c. Modified most functions. * build-id.h: New file. * dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_get_dwz_file): Update for change to bfd_get_alt_debug_link_info. Verify dwz file's build-id. Search for dwz file using build-id. * elfread.c (build_id_bfd_get, build_id_verify) (build_id_to_debug_filename, find_separate_debug_file): Remove. * gdb.dwarf2/dwzbuildid.exp: New file. * lib/dwarf.exp (Dwarf::_section): Add "flags" and "type" parameters. (Dwarf::_defer_output): Change "section" parameter to "section_spec"; update. (Dwarf::gnu_debugaltlink, Dwarf::_note, Dwarf::build_id): New procs.
