From 9d3ab915be4548c6fee80c0b2f79a509fd4150b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Seitz Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 09:28:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add file name to "Loadable section ... outside of ELF segments" warning As requested in gdb/23034, I would like to extend the warning message GDB displays when it detects a loadable section that is outside any ELF segment. Before: $ gdb -q --ex "b systemctl_main" -ex "r" -batch --args systemctl kexec Breakpoint 1 at 0xc24d: file ../src/systemctl/systemctl.c, line 8752. warning: Loadable section ".note.gnu.property" outside of ELF segments [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1". warning: Loadable section ".note.gnu.property" outside of ELF segments warning: Loadable section ".note.gnu.property" outside of ELF segments warning: Loadable section ".note.gnu.property" outside of ELF segments warning: Loadable section ".note.gnu.property" outside of ELF segments [snip] Breakpoint 1, systemctl_main (argv=0x7fffffffd348, argc=2) at ../src/systemctl/systemctl.c:8752 8752 r = systemctl_main(argc, argv); After: warning: Loadable section ".note.gnu.property" outside of ELF segments in .gnu_debugdata for /lib64/libcap.so.2 warning: Loadable section ".note.gnu.property" outside of ELF segments in .gnu_debugdata for /lib64/libacl.so.1 [snip] I think this is eminently more useful output. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-11-13 Keith Seitz PR gdb/23034 * elfread.c (elf_symfile_segments): Output a BFD file name for the "Loadable section ... outside of ELF segments" warning. --- gdb/ChangeLog | 6 ++++++ gdb/elfread.c | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 4eb64c139be..f8f6993a45c 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ +2020-11-13 Keith Seitz + + PR gdb/23034 + * elfread.c (elf_symfile_segments): Output a BFD file name + for the "Loadable section ... outside of ELF segments" warning. + 2020-11-13 Simon Marchi PR gdb/26835 diff --git a/gdb/elfread.c b/gdb/elfread.c index f362bc8a622..7915dcdcce9 100644 --- a/gdb/elfread.c +++ b/gdb/elfread.c @@ -149,8 +149,8 @@ elf_symfile_segments (bfd *abfd) binaries are not relocatable. */ if (bfd_section_size (sect) > 0 && j == num_segments && (bfd_section_flags (sect) & SEC_LOAD) != 0) - warning (_("Loadable section \"%s\" outside of ELF segments"), - bfd_section_name (sect)); + warning (_("Loadable section \"%s\" outside of ELF segments\n in %s"), + bfd_section_name (sect), bfd_get_filename (abfd)); } return data; -- 2.30.2
