Version 0.196 version.h: New macro _ELFUTILS_THREAD_SAFE added to <elfutils/version.h>. Defined to 1 when the elfutils libraries are built with thread safety support enabled. Otherwise it is left undefined. Version 0.195 "Handwritten" CONTRIBUTING: elfutils has adopted a policy on the use of Large Language Models (LLMs). Contributions containing output generated by LLMs are not currently being accepted. debuginfod: Introduce --home-redirect and --home-html switches allowing for redirecting to custom URL and/or serving a custom html file, if document root is requested. Related: PR33635. New command line option --max-depth that limits scanner depth. Metadata queries now support lookup by build-id. New function debuginfod_default_progressfn added to libdebuginfod. debuginfod-find: Fixed bug where DEBUGINFOD_PROGRESS environment variable was ignored if debuginfod-find was invoked without -v. elflint: Recognize .debug_*.dwo sections, .relro_padding sections as well as SHT_AARCH64_ATTRIBUTES, SHT_LLVM_LTO and SHT_LLVM_ADDRSIG. Accept R_X86_64_DTPOFF64 in ET_REL files. Add lints for PT_LOAD, PT_INTERP and PT_PHDR segments. libdw: Added language constants for Erlang, Elixir and Gleam. Fixed bug that caused sections in DWARF package files (.dwp) to be missed if section .debug_dwp is present. libdwfl: Improved handling of Linux kernel object files with sh_addr fields set to non-zero. libdwfl_stacktrace: AArch64 and 32-bit ARM support added. The libdwfl_stacktrace library interface is experimental and may be subject to API/ABI changes. libelf: New man pages for gelf.h functions. Fixed gelf_getmove and gelf_update_move assertion failures caused by incorrect ELFCLASS32/ELFCLASS64 handling. elf_update now correctly handles binaries with 65280+ sections when section zero headers aren't loaded. readelf: Improved support for DWARF Package Files (.dwp) sections. Improved output format for .gcc_except_table. stacktrace: This experimental tool is scheduled to be removed in the next release and replaced with the upcoming eu-stackprof tool. Version 0.194 "Manual Labour" debuginfod-find: Fixed caching bug preventing user-cancelled downloads from being re-downloaded at a later time. elfclassify: New options --has-debug-sections and --any-ar-member. elflint: Presence of vendor- and application-specific ELF note types no longer triggers compliance errors. libdwfl_stacktrace: New function dwflst_sample_getframes. The libdwfl_stacktrace library interface is experimental and may be subject to API/ABI changes. libelf: Manual pages have been added for many libelf library functions. Additional manual pages are planned for future releases. readelf: Up to 13% faster when using the -N option. Version 0.193 "Bugs erased, stacks traced" debuginfod: Add CORS (webapp access) support to webapi and --cors option. Add --listen-address option for binding the HTTP listen socket to a specific IPv4 or IPv6 address. debuginfod client now caches x-debuginfod-* HTTP headers alongside downloaded files. libdw: Add dwarf_language and dwarf_language_lower_bound functions. Improved support for DWARF6 language metadata as well as DWARF language constants for Nim, Dylan, Algol68, V and Mojo. dwarf_srclang is now forward-compatible with DWARF6 language constants. libdwfl_stacktrace: Experimental new library interface for unwinding stack samples into call chains, and tracking and caching Elf data for multiple processes, building on libdwfl. Initially supports perf_events stack sample data. libelf: elf_scnshndx has been rewritten to be more robust, particularily for ELF files with more than 64K sections. readelf: Improved handling of corrupt ELF data. --section-headers output now includes a "Key to Flags" explaining section flag meanings. Version 0.192 "New rules, faster tools" CONDUCT: A new code of conduct has been adopted. See the CONDUCT file for more information. debuginfod: Add per-file signature verification for integrity checking, using RPM IMA scheme from Fedora/RHEL. New API for metadata queries: file name -> buildid. Server-side extraction of files from kernel debuginfo packages is significantly faster. Now takes < 0.25 seconds, down from ~50 seconds. libdw: New functions dwfl_set_sysroot, dwfl_frame_unwound_source and dwfl_unwound_source_str. stacktrace: Experimental new tool that can process a stream of stack samples from the Sysprof profiler and unwind them into call chains. Enable on x86 with --enable-stacktrace. See README.eu-stacktrace in the development branch for detailed usage instructions: https://sourceware.org/cgit/elfutils/tree/README.eu-stacktrace?h=users/serhei/eu-stacktrace Version 0.191 "Bug fixes in C major" libdw: dwarf_addrdie now supports binaries lacking a .debug_aranges section. Improved support for DWARF package files. Add new function dwarf_cu_dwp_section_info. debuginfod: Caching eviction logic improvements to improve retention of small/frequent/slow files such as Fedora's vdso.debug. srcfiles: Can now fetch the source files of a DWARF/ELF file and place them into a zip. Version 0.190 "Woke!" CONTRIBUTING: Switch from real name policy to known identity policy. Updated ChangeLog policy (no more separate ChangeLog files). There is a SECURITY bug policy now. The default branch is now 'main'. libelf: Add RELR support. libdw: Recognize .debug_[ct]u_index sections readelf: Support readelf -Ds, --use-dynamic --symbol. Support .gdb_index version 9 scrlines: New tool that compiles a list of source files associated with a specified dwarf/elf file. debuginfod: Schema change (reindexing required, sorry!) for a 60% compression in filename representation, which was a large part of the sqlite index; also, more deliberate sqlite -wal management during scanning using the --scan-checkpoint option. backends: Various LoongArch updates. Version 0.189 "Don't deflate!" configure: eu-nm, eu-addr2line and eu-stack can provide demangled symbols when linked with libstdc++. Use --disable-demangler to disable. A new option --enable-sanitize-memory has been added for msan sanitizer support. libelf: elf_compress now supports ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD when build against libzstd libdwfl: dwfl_module_return_value_location now returns 0 (no return type) for DIEs that point to a DW_TAG_unspecified_type. elfcompress: -t, --type= now support zstd if libelf has been build with ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD support. backends: Add support for LoongArch and Synopsys ARCv2 processors. Version 0.188 "no section left behind" readelf: Add -D, --use-dynamic option. debuginfod-client: Add $DEBUGINFOD_HEADERS_FILE setting to supply outgoing HTTP headers. Add new function debuginfod_find_section. debuginfod: Add --disable-source-scan option. libdwfl: Add new function dwfl_get_debuginfod_client. Add new function dwfl_frame_reg. Add new function dwfl_report_offline_memory. Version 0.187 "no zero negatives" debuginfod: Support -C option for connection thread pooling. debuginfod-client: Negative cache file are now zero sized instead of no-permission files. addr2line: The -A, --absolute option, which shows file names including the full compilation directory is now the default. To get the old behavior use the new option --relative. readelf, elflint: Recognize FDO Packaging Metadata ELF notes libdw, debuginfo-client: Load libcurl lazily only when files need to be fetched remotely. libcurl is now never loaded when DEBUGINFOD_URLS is unset. And when DEBUGINFOD_URLS is set, libcurl is only loaded when the debuginfod_begin function is called. Version 0.186 "Just In Time" debuginfod-client: Default $DEBUGINFOD_URLS is computed from drop-in files /etc/debuginfod/*.urls rather than hardcoded into the /etc/profile.d/debuginfod* scripts. Add $DEBUGINFOD_MAXSIZE and $DEBUGINFOD_MAXTIME settings for skipping large/slow transfers. Add $DEBUGINFOD_RETRY for retrying aborted lookups. debuginfod: Supply extra HTTP response headers, describing archive/file names that satisfy the requested buildid content. Support -d :memory: option for in-memory databases. Protect against loops in federated server configurations. Add -r option to use -I/-X regexes for grooming stale files. Protect against wasted CPU from duplicate concurrent requests. Limit the duration of groom ops roughly to rescan (-t) times. Add --passive mode for serving from read-only database. Several other performance improvements & prometheus metrics. libdw: Support for the NVIDIA Cuda line map extensions. DW_LNE_NVIDIA_inlined_call and DW_LNE_NVIDIA_set_function_name are defined in dwarf.h. New functions dwarf_linecontext and dwarf_linefunctionname translations: Update Japanese translation. Version 0.185 "oops, I did it again" debuginfod-client: Simplify curl handle reuse so downloads which return an error are retried. elfcompress: Always exit with code 0 when the operation succeeds (even when nothing was done). On error the exit code is now always 1. Version 0.184 "negative results" debuginfod: Use libarchive's bsdtar as the .deb-family file unpacker. debuginfod-client: Client caches negative results. If a query for a file failed with 404, an empty 000 permission file is created in the cache. This will prevent requesting the same file for the next 10 minutes. Client objects now carry long-lived curl handles for outgoing connections. This makes it more efficient for multiple sequential queries, because the TCP connections and/or TLS state info are kept around awhile, avoiding O(100ms) setup latencies. libdw: handle DW_FORM_indirect when reading attributes translations: Update Polish translation. Version 0.183 "100+ commits" debuginfod: New thread-busy metric and more detailed error metrics. New --fdcache-mintmp and tracking of filesystem freespace. New increased webapi concurrency while grooming. debuginfod-client: DEBUGINFOD_SONAME macro added to debuginfod.h which can be used to dlopen the libdebuginfod.so library. New function debuginfod_set_verbose_fd and DEBUGINFOD_VERBOSE environment variable. config: profile.sh and profile.csh won't export DEBUGINFOD_URLS unless configured --enable-debuginfod-urls[=URLS] elflint, readelf: Recognize SHF_GNU_RETAIN. Handle SHT_X86_64_UNWIND as valid relocation target. Version 0.182 "October Surprise!" backends: Support for tilegx has been removed. config: New /etc/profile.d files to provide default $DEBUGINFOD_URLS. debuginfod: More efficient package traversal, tolerate various errors during scanning, grooming progress is more visible and interruptible, more prometheus metrics. debuginfod-client: Now supports compressed (kernel) ELF images. libdwfl: Add ZSTD compression support. Version 0.181 "Show me your ARMs" libelf: elf_update now compensates (fixes up) a bad sh_addralign for SHF_COMPRESSED sections. libdebuginfod: configure now takes --enable-libdebuginfod=dummy or --disable-libdebuginfod for bootstrapping. DEBUGINFOD_URLS now accepts "scheme-free" urls (guessing at what the user meant, either http:// or file://) readelf, elflint: Handle aarch64 bti, pac bits in dynamic table and gnu property notes. libdw, readelf: Recognize DW_CFA_AARCH64_negate_ra_state. Allows unwinding on arm64 for code that is compiled for PAC (Pointer Authentication Code) as long as it isn't enabled. Version 0.180 "We got an L, we got an T, can we have a O?" elflint: Allow SHF_EXCLUDE as generic section flag when --gnu is given. libdw, readelf: Handle GCC LTO .gnu.debuglto_ prefix. libdw: Use correct CU to resolve file names in dwarf_decl_file. libdwfl: Handle debugaltlink in dwfl_standard_find_debuginfo. size: Also obey radix printing for bsd format. nm: Explicitly print weak 'V' or 'T' and common 'C' symbols. Version 0.179 "All your packages are belong to us!" debuginfod-client: When DEBUGINFOD_PROGRESS is set and the program doesn't install its own debuginfod_progressfn_t show download progress on stderr. DEBUGINFOD_TIMEOUT is now defined as seconds to get at least 100K, defaults to 90 seconds. Default to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/debuginfod_client. New functions debuginfod_set_user_data, debuginfod_get_user_data, debuginfod_get_url and debuginfod_add_http_header. Support for file:// URLs. debuginfod: Uses libarchive directly for reading rpm archives. Support for indexing .deb/.ddeb archives through dpkg-deb or bsdtar. Generic archive support through -Z EXT[=CMD]. Which can be used for example for arch-linux pacman files by using -Z '.tar.zst=zstdcat'. Better logging using User-Agent and X-Forwarded-For headers. More prometheus metrics. Support for eliding dots or extraneous slashes in path names. debuginfod-find: Accept /path/names in place of buildid hex. libelf: Handle PN_XNUM in elf_getphdrnum before shdr 0 is cached Ensure zlib resource cleanup on failure. libdwfl: dwfl_linux_kernel_find_elf and dwfl_linux_kernel_report_offline now find and handle a compressed vmlinuz image. readelf, elflint: Handle PT_GNU_PROPERTY. translations: Updated Ukrainian translation. Version 0.178 "All the build-id you can count!" debuginfod: New server, client tool and library to index and fetch ELF/DWARF files addressed by build-id through HTTP. doc: There are now some manual pages for functions and tools. backends: The libebl libraries are no longer dynamically loaded through dlopen, but are now compiled into libdw.so directly. readelf: -n, --notes now takes an optional "SECTION" argument. -p and -x now also handle section numbers. New option --dyn-sym to show just the dynamic symbol table. libcpu: Add RISC-V disassembler. libdw: Abbrevs and DIEs can now be read concurrently by multiple threads through the same Dwarf handle. libdwfl: Will try to use debuginfod when installed as fallback to retrieve ELF and DWARF debug data files by build-id.

Decode DW_AT_discr_list block attributes. libdw: Add DW_AT_GNU_numerator, DW_AT_GNU_denominator and DW_AT_GNU_bias. libdwelf: Add dwelf_elf_e_machine_string. dwelf_elf_begin now only returns NULL when there is an error reading or decompressing a file. If the file is not an ELF file an ELF handle of type ELF_K_NONE is returned. backends: Add support for C-SKY. Version 0.176 "At your own RISC-V" build: Add new --enable-install-elfh option. Do NOT use this for system installs (it overrides glibc elf.h). backends: riscv improved core file and return value location support. Fixes CVE-2019-7146, CVE-2019-7148, CVE-2019-7149, CVE-2019-7150, CVE-2019-7664, CVE-2019-7665 Version 0.175 readelf: Handle multiple .debug_macro sections.

Version 0.174 "extended shnum" libelf, libdw and all tools now handle extended shnum and shstrndx correctly. elfcompress: Don't rewrite input file if no section data needs updating. Try harder to keep same file mode bits (suid) on rewrite. strip: Handle mixed (out of order) allocated/non-allocated sections. unstrip: Handle SHT_GROUP sections. backends: RISCV and M68K now have backend implementations to generate CFI based backtraces. Fixes CVE-2018-16062, CVE-2018-16402 and CVE-2018-16403. Version 0.173 "crash free" More fixes for crashes and hangs found by afl-fuzz. In particular various functions now detect and break infinite loops caused by bad DIE tree cycles. readelf: Will now lookup the size and signedness of constant value types to display them correctly (and not just how they were encoded). libdw: New function dwarf_next_lines to read CU-less .debug_line data. dwarf_begin_elf now accepts ELF files containing just .debug_line or .debug_frame sections (which can be read without needing a DIE tree from the .debug_info section). Removed dwarf_getscn_info, which was never implemented. backends: Handle BPF simple relocations. The RISCV backends now handles ABI specific CFI and knows about RISCV register types and names. Version 0.172 "DWARF5 bugs split!" No functional changes compared to 0.171 "DWARF5 split!". Various bug fixes in libdw and eu-readelf dealing with bad DWARF5 data. Thanks to running the afl fuzzer on eu-readelf and various testcases. eu-readelf -N is ~15% faster. Version 0.171 "DWARF5 split!" DWARF5 and split dwarf, including GNU DebugFission, are supported now. Data can be read from the new DWARF sections .debug_addr, .debug_line_str, .debug_loclists, .debug_str_offsets and .debug_rnglists. Plus the new DWARF5 and GNU DebugFission encodings of the existing .debug sections. Also in split DWARF .dwo (DWARF object) files. This support is mostly handled by existing functions (dwarf_getlocation*, dwarf_getsrclines, dwarf_ranges, dwarf_form*, etc.) now returning the data from the new sections and data formats. But some new functions have been added to more easily get information about skeleton and split compile units (dwarf_get_units and dwarf_cu_info), handle new attribute data (dwarf_getabbrevattr_data) and to keep references to Dwarf_Dies that might come from different sections or files (dwarf_die_addr_die). Not yet supported are .dwp (Dwarf Package) and .sup (Dwarf Supplementary) files, the .debug_names index, the .debug_cu_index and .debug_tu_index sections. Only a single .debug_info (and .debug_types) section are currently handled. readelf: Handle all new DWARF5 sections. --debug-dump=info+ will show split unit DIEs when found. --dwarf-skeleton can be used when inspecting a .dwo file. Recognizes GNU locviews with --debug-dump=loc. libdw: New functions dwarf_die_addr_die, dwarf_get_units, dwarf_getabbrevattr_data and dwarf_cu_info. libdw will now try to resolve the alt file on first use of an alt attribute FORM when not set yet with dwarf_set_alt. dwarf_aggregate_size() now works with multi-dimensional arrays. libdwfl: Use process_vm_readv when available instead of ptrace. backends: Add a RISC-V backend.
