+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] PR 30569, always call elf_backend_size_dynamic_sections
+
+This largely mechanical patch is preparation for a followup patch.
+
+For quite some time I've thought that it would be useful to call
+elf_backend_size_dynamic_sections even when no dynamic objects are
+seen by the linker.  That's what this patch does, with some renaming.
+There are no functional changes to the linker, just a move of the
+dynobj test in bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections to target backend
+functions, replacing the asserts/aborts already there.  No doubt some
+of the current always_size_sections functions could be moved to
+size_dynamic_sections but I haven't made that change.
+
+Because both hooks are now always called, I have renamed
+always_size_sections to early_size_sections and size_dynamic_sections
+to late_size_sections.  I condisdered calling late_size_sections plain
+size_sections, since this is the usual target dynamic section sizing
+hook, but decided that searching the sources for "size_sections" would
+then hit early_size_sections and other functions.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] PR 30569, delete _bfd_mips_elf_early_size_sections
+
+PR30569 was triggered by a patch of mine 6540edd52cc0 moving the call
+to always_size_sections in bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections earlier, made
+to support the x86 DT_RELR implementation.  This broke mips16 code
+handling stubs when --export-dynamic is passed to the linker, because
+numerous symbols then became dynamic after always_size_sections.  The
+mips backend fiddles with symbols in its always_size_sections.  Maciej
+in 902e9fc76a0e had moved the call to always_size_sections to after
+the export-dynamic code.  Prior to that, Nathan in 04c3a75556c0 moved
+it before the exec stack code, back to the start of
+bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections which was where Ian put it originally
+in ff12f303355b.  So the call has moved around a little.  I'm leaving
+it where it is, and instead calling mips_elf_check_symbols from
+late_size_sections (the old size_dynamic_sections) which is now always
+called.  In fact, the whole of _bfd_mips_elf_early_size_sections can
+be merged into _bfd_mips_elf_late_size_sections.

+Subject: [PATCH 05/50] libctf: update regexp to allow makeinfo to build
+ document
+
+While trying to build gdb on latest openSUSE Tumbleweed, I noticed the
+following warning,
+
+ checking for makeinfo... makeinfo --split-size=5000000
+ configure: WARNING:
+ *** Makeinfo is too old. Info documentation will not be built.
+
+then I checked the version of makeinfo, it said,
+======
+$ makeinfo --version
+texi2any (GNU texinfo) 7.0.1
+
+Copyright (C) 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>
+This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.
+There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.
+======
+
+After digging a little bit, it became quite obvious that a dot is
+missing in regexp that makes it impossible to match versions higher than
+7.0, and here's the solution:
+
+-       | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*(6\.[3-9]|[7-9][0-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
++       | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*(6\.[3-9]|[7-9]\.[0-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
+
+However, Eli pointed out that the solution above has another problem: it
+will stop working when Texinfo 10.1 will be released.  Meanwhile, he
+suggested to solve this problem permanently.  That is, we don't care
+about the minor version for Texinfo > 6.9, we only care about the major
+version.
+
+In this way, the problem will be resolved permanently, thanks to Eli.
+
+libctf/ChangeLog:
+
+	* configure: Regenerated.
+	* configure.ac: Update regexp to match versions higher than 7.0.

+Subject: [PATCH 10/50] toplevel: Makefile.def: add install-strip dependency on
+ libsframe
+
+As noted in PR libsframe/30014 - FTBFS: install-strip fails because
+bfdlib relinks and fails to find libsframe, the install time
+dependencies of libbfd need to be updated.
+
+	PR libsframe/30014
+	* Makefile.def: Reflect that libsframe needs to installed before
+	libbfd.  Reorder a bit to better track libsframe dependencies.
+	* Makefile.in: Regenerate.
+

++gprofng [OPTION(S)] ACTION [@b{QUALIFIER}] [ARGUMENTS] TARGET
++@c man end
++
++@c man begin DESCRIPTION
++This is the driver for the GPROFNG tools suite to gather and analyze performance data.
++
++The driver executes the action specified. An example of an action is @code{collect}
++to collect performance data. Depending on the action, a qualifier may be needed to
++define the command. Several qualifiers support options. The last item on the command
++is the target the command applies to.
++
++For example, to collect performance data for an application called @code{a.out} and
++store the results in experiment directory @code{mydata.er}, the following command may
++be used:
++
++@smallexample
++$ gprofng collect app -o mydata.er a.out
++@end smallexample
++
++In this example, the action is @code{collect}, the qualifier is @code{app}, the single
++argument is @code{-o mydata.er} and the target is @code{a.out}.
++
++If gprofng is executed without any additional option, action, or target, a usage
++overview is printed.
++
++@c man end
++
++@c man begin OPTIONS
++
++@table @gcctabopt
++
++@item @var{--version}

++
++@item @var{--help}

++
++@end table
++
++@c man end
++
++@c man begin NOTES
++
++The gprofng driver supports the following commands.
++
++@c The man pages for the commands below can be viewed using the command name with "gprofng" replaced by "gp" and the spaces replaced by a dash ("-"). For example the man page
++@c        name for "gprofng collect app" is "gp-collect-app".
++
++Collect performance data:
++
++@table @code
++
++@item gprofng collect app
++collect application performance data.
++
++@end table
++
++Display the performance results:
++
++@table @code
++
++@item gprofng display text
++display the performance data in ASCII format.
++
++@item gprofng display html
++generate an HTML file from one or more experiments.
++
++@end table
++
++Miscellaneous commands:
++
++@table @code
++
++@item gprofng display src
++display source or disassembly with compiler annotations.
++
++@item gprofng archive
++include binaries and source code in an experiment directory.
++
++@end table
++
++It is also possible to invoke the lower level commands directly, but since
++these are subject to change, in particular the options, we recommend to
++use the driver.
++
++@c man end
++
++@c man begin ENVIRONMENT
++The following environment variables are supported:
++
++@table @code
++
++@item @env{GPROFNG_MAX_CALL_STACK_DEPTH}
++set the depth of the call stack (default is 256).
++
++@item @env{GPROFNG_USE_JAVA_OPTIONS}
++may be set when profiling a C/C++ application that uses dlopen() to execute Java code.
++
++@item @env{GPROFNG_SSH_REMOTE_DISPLAY}
++use this variable to define the ssh command executed by the remote display tool.
++
++@item @env{GPROFNG_SKIP_VALIDATION}
++set this variable to disable checking hardware, system, and Java versions.
++
++@item @env{GPROFNG_ALLOW_CORE_DUMP}
++set this variable to allow a core file to be generated; otherwise an error report is created on /tmp.
++
++@item @env{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE}
++use this variable to define the settings for automatic archiving upon experiment recording completion.
++
++@item @env{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE_COMMON_DIR}
++set this variable to the location of the common archive.
++
++@item @env{GPROFNG_JAVA_MAX_CALL_STACK_DEPTH}
++set the depth of the Java call stack; the default is 256; set to 0 to disable capturing of call stacks.
++
++@item @env{GPROFNG_JAVA_NATIVE_MAX_CALL_STACK_DEPTH}
++set the depth of the Java native call stack; the default is 256; set to 0 to disable capturing of call stacks (JNI and assembly call stacks are not captured).
++
++@end table
++
++@c man end
++
++@c man begin SEEALSO
++The man pages for the various gprofng commands are not available yet, but
++the @option{--help} option supported on each of the commands lists the options
++and provides more information.
++
++For example this displays the options supported on the @command{gprofng collect app}
++command:
++
++@smallexample
++$ gprofng collect app --help
++@end smallexample
++
++The user guide is available as an Info entry for @file{gprofng}.

+Subject: [PATCH 26/50] RISC-V: make C-extension JAL available again for
+ (32-bit) assembly
+
+Along with the normal JAL alias, the C-extension one should have been
+moved as well by 839189bc932e ("RISC-V: re-arrange opcode table for
+consistent alias handling"), for the assembler to actually be able to
+use it where/when possible.
+
+Since neither this nor any other compressed branch insn was being tested
+so far, take the opportunity and introduce a new testcase covering those.

+Regenerating BPF target using the maintainer mode emits:
+.../opcodes/bpf-opc.c:57:11: error: conversion from ‘long unsigned int’ to ‘unsigned int’ changes value from ‘18446744073709486335’ to ‘4294902015’ [-Werror=overflow]

+
+The use of a narrow size to handle the mask CGEN in instruction format
+is causing this error.  Additionally eBPF `call' instructions
+constructed by expressions using symbols (BPF_PSEUDO_CALL) emits
+annotations in `src' field of the instruction, used to identify BPF
+target endianness.
+
+cpu/
+	* bpf.cpu (define-call-insn): Remove `src' field from
+	instruction mask.
+
+include/
+	*opcode/cge.h (CGEN_IFMT): Adjust mask bit width.
+
+opcodes/
+	* bpf-opc.c: Regenerate.

+Subject: [PATCH 40/50] configure: remove dependencies on gmp and mpfr when gdb
+ is disabled
+
+Since 991180627851801f1999d1ebbc0e569a17e47c74, the configure checks
+about GMP and MPFR for gdb builds have been moved to the toplevel
+configure.
+However, it doesn't take into account the --disable-gdb option. Meaning
+that a build without gdb will require these libraries even if not
+needed.
+
+ChangeLog:
+
+	* configure.ac: Skip GMP and MPFR when --disable-gdb is
+	provided.
+	* configure: Regenerate.
+
+(cherry picked from commit 5fb0e308577143ceb313fde5538dc9ecb038f29f)

+Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2024 19:25:42 +1030
+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] PR 30569, always call elf_backend_size_dynamic_sections
+
+This largely mechanical patch is preparation for a followup patch.
+
+For quite some time I've thought that it would be useful to call
+elf_backend_size_dynamic_sections even when no dynamic objects are
+seen by the linker.  That's what this patch does, with some renaming.
+There are no functional changes to the linker, just a move of the
+dynobj test in bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections to target backend
+functions, replacing the asserts/aborts already there.  No doubt some
+of the current always_size_sections functions could be moved to
+size_dynamic_sections but I haven't made that change.
+
+Because both hooks are now always called, I have renamed
+always_size_sections to early_size_sections and size_dynamic_sections
+to late_size_sections.  I condisdered calling late_size_sections plain
+size_sections, since this is the usual target dynamic section sizing
+hook, but decided that searching the sources for "size_sections" would
+then hit early_size_sections and other functions.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] PR 30569, delete _bfd_mips_elf_early_size_sections
+
+PR30569 was triggered by a patch of mine 6540edd52cc0 moving the call
+to always_size_sections in bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections earlier, made
+to support the x86 DT_RELR implementation.  This broke mips16 code
+handling stubs when --export-dynamic is passed to the linker, because
+numerous symbols then became dynamic after always_size_sections.  The
+mips backend fiddles with symbols in its always_size_sections.  Maciej
+in 902e9fc76a0e had moved the call to always_size_sections to after
+the export-dynamic code.  Prior to that, Nathan in 04c3a75556c0 moved
+it before the exec stack code, back to the start of
+bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections which was where Ian put it originally
+in ff12f303355b.  So the call has moved around a little.  I'm leaving
+it where it is, and instead calling mips_elf_check_symbols from
+late_size_sections (the old size_dynamic_sections) which is now always
+called.  In fact, the whole of _bfd_mips_elf_early_size_sections can
+be merged into _bfd_mips_elf_late_size_sections.
