As reported in [1], _bfd_error_handler() doesn't support '%zu'.
module_name_size is always 32-bits in the data structure we are
extracting it from, so use an unsigned int to store it instead.

GDB currently doesn't build on 32-bit Solaris:
* On Solaris 11.4/x86:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/procfs.h:26,
from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/dist/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:24:
/usr/include/sys/old_procfs.h:31:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
#error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
^~~~~
* On Solaris 11.3/x86 there are several more instances of this.
The interaction between procfs and large-file support historically has
been a royal mess on Solaris:
* There are two versions of the procfs interface:
** The old ioctl-based /proc, deprecated and not used any longer in
either gdb or binutils.
** The `new' (introduced in Solaris 2.6, 1997) structured /proc.
* There are two headers one can possibly include:
** <procfs.h> which only provides the structured /proc, definining
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1 and then including ...
** <sys/procfs.h> which defaults to _STRUCTURED_PROC=0, the ioctl-based
/proc, but provides structured /proc if _STRUCTURED_PROC == 1.
* procfs and the large-file environment didn't go well together:
** Until Solaris 11.3, <sys/procfs.h> would always #error in 32-bit
compilations when the large-file environment was active
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64).
** In both Solaris 11.4 and Illumos, this restriction was lifted for
structured /proc.
So one has to be careful always to define _STRUCTURED_PROC=1 when
testing for or using <sys/procfs.h> on Solaris. As the errors above
show, this isn't always the case in binutils-gdb right now.
Also one may need to disable large-file support for 32-bit compilations
on Solaris. config/largefile.m4 meant to do this by wrapping the
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE autoconf macro with appropriate checks, yielding
ACX_LARGEFILE. Unfortunately the macro doesn't always succeed because
it neglects the _STRUCTURED_PROC part.
To make things even worse, since GCC 9 g++ predefines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on Solaris. So even if largefile.m4 deciced not to
enable large-file support, this has no effect, breaking the gdb build.
This patch addresses all this as follows:
* All tests for the <sys/procfs.h> header are made with
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1, the definition going into the various config.h
files instead of having to make them (and sometimes failing) in the
affected sources.
* To cope with the g++ predefine of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64,
-U_FILE_OFFSET_BITS is added to various *_CPPFLAGS variables. It had
been far easier to have just
#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
in config.h, but unfortunately such a construct in config.in is
commented by config.status irrespective of indentation and whitespace
if large-file support is disabled. I found no way around this and
putting the #undef in several global headers for bfd, binutils, ld,
and gdb seemed way more invasive.
* Last, the applicability check in largefile.m4 was modified only to
disable largefile support if really needed. To do so, it checks if
<sys/procfs.h> compiles with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined. If it
doesn't, the disabling only happens if gdb exists in-tree and isn't
disabled, otherwise (building binutils from a tarball), there's no
conflict.
What initially confused me was the check for $plugins here, which
originally caused the disabling not to take place. Since AC_PLUGINGS
does enable plugin support if <dlfcn.h> exists (which it does on
Solaris), the disabling never happened.
I could find no explanation why the linker plugin needs large-file
support but thought it would be enough if gld and GCC's lto-plugin
agreed on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value. Unfortunately, that's not
enough: lto-plugin uses the simple-object interface from libiberty,
which includes off_t arguments. So to fully disable large-file
support would mean also disabling it in libiberty and its users: gcc
and libstdc++-v3. This seems highly undesirable, so I decided to
disable the linker plugin instead if large-file support won't work.
The patch allows binutils+gdb to build on i386-pc-solaris2.11 (both
Solaris 11.3 and 11.4, using GCC 9.3.0 which is the worst case due to
predefined _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). Also regtested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.11 (again on Solaris 11.3 and 11.4),
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and i686-pc-linux-gnu.

This commit removes a hack for GDB which was introduced in 2007.
See:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2007-08/msg00044.html
That hack mostly allowed GDB's handling of core files to continue to
work without any changes to GDB.
The problem with setting the section size to zero is that GDB won't
know how big that section is/was. Often, this doesn't matter because
the data in question are found in the exec file. But it can happen
that the section describes memory that had been allocated, but never
written to. In this instance, the contents of that memory region are
not written to the core file. Also, since the region in question was
dynamically allocated, it won't appear in the exec file. We don't
want these regions to appear as inaccessible to GDB (since they *were*
accessible when the process was live), so it's important that GDB know
the size of the region.
I've made changes to GDB which correctly handles this case. When
attempting to access memory, GDB will first consider core file data
for which both SEC_ALLOC and SEC_HAS_CONTENTS is set. Next, if that
fails, GDB will attempt to find the data in the exec file. Finally,
if that also fails, GDB will attempt to access memory in the sections
which are flagged as SEC_ALLOC, but not SEC_HAS_CONTENTS.

When a coredump is generated, there are a few registers in
ARC HS that are put under a special section, namely ".reg-v2".
It is for backward compatibility reasons with older tools that
we have decided not to extend the generic ".reg" section.
This patch makes it possible to display the information better
regarding that section. Compare the output of "readelf" without
and with these changes:
$ readelf -n core # without the patch
...

In another commit (soon to be submitted), GDB will makes use of these
changes to parse the extra section and its registers.

I was looking at elf_backend_section_flags as a means of setting
SEC_SMALL_DATA for .sdata, .sbss and the like, and condidered adding
an asection* parameter to access the section name easily before
realising that hdr->bfd_section of course makes the section
available. So no new parameter needed. In fact the flagword*
parameter isn't needed either, so out it goes.
The patch also tidies some horrible code in _bfd_elf_new_section_hook
that can change whether known ABI sections have sh_type and sh_flags
set up depending on which of the bfd_make_section functions is used.
(Some of those set section flags before _bfd_elf_new_section_hook is
called, others leave the flags zero.) The function also had some
hacks for .init_array and .fini_array to affect how
_bfd_elf_init_private_section_data behaved for those sections. It's
cleaner to do that in _bfd_elf_init_private_section_data. So that all
goes and we now init sh_type and sh_flags for all known ABI sections
in _bfd_elf_new_section_hook. _bfd_elf_init_private_section_data is
changed to suit, and now doesn't just single out SHT_INIT_ARRAY and
SHT_FINI_ARRAY but rather any of the special section types.
