* Sat Aug 15 2020 Martin Liška - Add binutils-2.35-branch.diff.gz: it includes fix for nm -B for objects compiled with -flto and -fcommon.

* The assembler and linker now support the generation of ELF format files for the Z80 architecture.- Rename and get binutils-2.34-branch.diff.gz (boo#1160254).- Rebase add-ulp-section.diff, binutils-revert-plt32-in-branches.diff, cross-avr-size.patch and binutils-skip-rpaths.patch.- Add new subpackages for libctf and libctf-nobfd.- Disable LTO due to boo#1163333.- Includes fixes for these CVEs: bnc#1153768 aka CVE-2019-17451 aka PR25070 bnc#1153770 aka CVE-2019-17450 aka PR25078

* Tue Oct 22 2019 Martin Liška - Update to binutils 2.33.1:
* Adds support for the Arm Scalable Vector Extension version 2 (SVE2) instructions, the Arm Transactional Memory Extension (TME) instructions and the Armv8.1-M Mainline and M-profile Vector Extension (MVE) instructions.
* Adds support for the Arm Cortex-A76AE, Cortex-A77 and Cortex-M35P processors and the AArch64 Cortex-A34, Cortex-A65, Cortex-A65AE, Cortex-A76AE, and Cortex-A77 processors.
* Adds a .float16 directive for both Arm and AArch64 to allow encoding of 16-bit floating point literals.
* For MIPS, Add -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc option to fix (or not) Loongson3 LLSC Errata. Add a --enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc=[yes|no] configure time option to set the default behavior. Set the default if the configure option is not used to \"no\".
* The Cortex-A53 Erratum 843419 workaround now supports a choice of which workaround to use. The option --fix-cortex-a53-843419 now takes an optional argument --fix-cortex-a53-843419[=full|adr|adrp] which can be used to force a particular workaround to be used. See --help for AArch64 for more details.
* Add support for GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI and GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC in ELF GNU program properties in the AArch64 ELF linker.
* Add -z force-bti for AArch64 to enable GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI on output while warning about missing GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI on inputs and use PLTs protected with BTI.
* Add -z pac-plt for AArch64 to pick PAC enabled PLTs.
* Add --source-comment[=] option to objdump which if present, provides a prefix to source code lines displayed in a disassembly.
* Add --set-section-alignment = option to objcopy to allow the changing of section alignments.
* Add --verilog-data-width option to objcopy for verilog targets to control width of data elements in verilog hex format.
* The separate debug info file options of readelf (--debug-dump=links and --debug-dump=follow) and objdump (--dwarf=links and - -dwarf=follow-links) will now display and/or follow multiple links if more than one are present in a file. (This usually happens when gcc\'s -gsplit-dwarf option is used). In addition objdump\'s --dwarf=follow-links now also affects its other display options, so that for example, when combined with - -syms it will cause the symbol tables in any linked debug info files to also be displayed. In addition when combined with - -disassemble the --dwarf= follow-links option will ensure that any symbol tables in the linked files are read and used when disassembling code in the main file.
* Add support for dumping types encoded in the Compact Type Format to objdump and readelf.- Includes fixes for these CVEs: bnc#1126826 aka CVE-2019-9077 aka PR1126826 bnc#1126829 aka CVE-2019-9075 aka PR1126829 bnc#1126831 aka CVE-2019-9074 aka PR24235 bnc#1140126 aka CVE-2019-12972 aka PR23405 bnc#1143609 aka CVE-2019-14444 aka PR24829 bnc#1142649 aka CVE-2019-14250 aka PR90924- Remove patches that are now included in the release: binutils-2.32-branch.diff.gz, binutils-fix-ld-segv.diff, binutils-pr24486.patch, riscv-abi-check.patch, rx-gas-padding-pr24464.patch.- Add binutils-2.33-branch.diff.gz patch.- Rebase binutils-revert-plt32-in-branches.diff and cross-avr-size.patch patch.

* Wed Mar 08 2017 rguentherAATTsuse.com- Update to binutils 2.28.
* Add support for locating separate debug info files using the build-id method, where the separate file has a name based upon the build-id of the original file.
* This version of binutils fixes a problem with PowerPC VLE 16A and 16D relocations which were functionally swapped, for example, R_PPC_VLE_HA16A performed like R_PPC_VLE_HA16D while R_PPC_VLE_HA16D performed like R_PPC_VLE_HA16A. This could have been fixed by renumbering relocations, which would keep object files created by an older version of gas compatible with a newer ld. However, that would require an ABI update, affecting other assemblers and linkers that create and process the relocations correctly. It is recommended that all VLE object files be recompiled, but ld can modify the relocations if --vle-reloc-fixup is passed to ld. If the new ld command line option is not used, ld will ld warn on finding relocations inconsistent with the instructions being relocated.
* The nm program has a new command line option (--with-version-strings) which will display a symbol\'s version information, if any, after the symbol\'s name.
* The ARC port of objdump now accepts a -M option to specify the extra instruction class(es) that should be disassembled.
* The --remove-section option for objcopy and strip now accepts section patterns starting with an exclamation point to indicate a non-matching section. A non-matching section is removed from the set of sections matched by an earlier --remove-section pattern.
* The --only-section option for objcopy now accepts section patterns starting with an exclamation point to indicate a non-matching section. A non-matching section is removed from the set of sections matched by an earlier --only-section pattern.
* New --remove-relocations=SECTIONPATTERN option for objcopy and strip. This option can be used to remove sections containing relocations. The SECTIONPATTERN is the section to which the relocations apply, not the relocation section itself. GAS
* Add support for the RISC-V architecture.
* Add support for the ARM Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 processors. GNU ld
* The EXCLUDE_FILE linker script construct can now be applied outside of the section list in order for the exclusions to apply over all input sections in the list.
* Add support for the RISC-V architecture.
* The command line option --no-eh-frame-hdr can now be used in ELF based linkers to disable the automatic generation of .eh_frame_hdr sections.
* Add --in-implib= to the ARM linker to enable specifying a set of Secure Gateway veneers that must exist in the output import library specified by --out-implib= and the address they must have. As such, --in-implib is only supported in combination with --cmse-implib.
* Extended the --out-implib= option, previously restricted to x86 PE targets, to any ELF based target. This allows the generation of an import library for an ELF executable, which can then be used by another application to link against the executable. GOLD

* Add -z common/-z nocommon options for ELF targets to control whether to convert common symbols to the STT_COMMON type during a relocatable link.
* Support for -z nodynamic-undefined-weak in the x86 ELF linker, which avoids dynamic relocations against undefined weak symbols in executable.
* The NOCROSSREFSTO command was added to the linker script language.
