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.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In libelf.h
.Ft "Elf32_Shdr *"
.Fn elf32_getshdr "Elf_Scn *scn"
.Ft "Elf64_Shdr *"
.Fn elf64_getshdr "Elf_Scn *scn"
.In gelf.h

.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions return a pointer to the ELF Section Header data
structure associated with section descriptor
.Ar scn .
.Pp
Function
.Fn elf32_getshdr
retrieves a pointer to an
.Vt Elf32_Shdr
structure.
Section descriptor
.Ar scn
must be associated with an ELF descriptor of class
.Dv ELFCLASS32 .
.Pp
Function
.Fn elf64_getshdr
retrieves a pointer to an
.Vt Elf64_Shdr
structure.
Section descriptor
.Ar scn
must be associated with an ELF descriptor of class
.Dv ELFCLASS64 .
.Pp
Function
.Fn gelf_getshdr
copies the values in the section header associated with argument
.Ar scn
to the structure pointed to be argument
.Ar dst .
The
.Vt GElf_Shdr
data structure is described in
.Xr gelf 3 .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Functions
.Fn elf32_getshdr
and
.Fn elf64_getshdr
return a valid pointer to the appropriate section header on success
or NULL if an error was encountered.
.Pp
Function
.Fn gelf_getshdr
returns argument
.Ar dst
if successful, or NULL if an error was encountered.
.Sh ERRORS
These functions may fail with the following errors:
.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
Arguments
.Ar scn
or
.Ar shdr
were NULL.
.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
Argument
.Ar scn
was not associated a descriptor for an ELF object.
.It Bq Er ELF_E_CLASS
The ELF class associated with the section descriptor
.Ar scn
did not match the class expected by the API.
