Ed Maste ae500c1ff8 Update to ELF Tool Chain r3668
Highlights:
- Make sure that only TLS sections are sorted into TLS segment.
- Fixed multiple errors in "Section to Segment mapping".
- Man page updates
- ar improvements
- elfcopy: avoid filter_reloc uninitialized variable for rela
- elfcopy: avoid stripping relocations from static binaries
- readelf: avoid printing directory in front of absolute path
- readelf: add NT_FREEBSD_FEATURE_CTL FreeBSD note type
- test improvements

NOTES:

Some of these changes originated in FreeBSD and simply reduce diffs
between contrib and vendor.

ELF Tool Chain ar is not (currently) used in FreeBSD, and there are
improvements in both FreeBSD and ELF Tool Chain ar that are not in
the other.

.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes
.Nd retrieve instructions from FDE descritpor
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libdwarf
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In libdwarf.h
.Ft int
.Fo dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes
.Fa "Dwarf_Fde fde"
.Fa "Dwarf_Ptr *ret_inst"
.Fa "Dwarf_Unsigned *ret_len"
.Fa "Dwarf_Error *error"
.Fc
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Function
.Fn dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes
retrieves instruction bytes from a given FDE descriptor.
.Pp
Argument
.Ar fde
should reference a valid DWARF FDE descriptor.
.Pp
Argument
.Ar ret_inst
should point to a location that will be set to a pointer
to an array of bytes containing the instructions of the
FDE descriptor.
.Pp
Argument
.Ar ret_len
should point to a location that will hold the length in
bytes of the instructions returned in argument
.Ar ret_inst .
.Pp
If argument
.Ar err
is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an
error.
.Pp
Applications can use the function
.Xr dwarf_expand_frame_instructions 3
to parse and expand the returned instruction bytes into an array of
.Vt Dwarf_Frame_Op
descriptors.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Function
.Fn dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes
returns
.Dv DW_DLV_OK
when it succeeds.
In case of an error, it returns
.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
and sets the argument
.Ar err .
.Sh ERRORS
Function
.Fn dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes
can fail with:
.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
One of the arguments
.Ar fde ,
.Ar ret_inst
or
.Ar ret_len
was NULL.
