Security update for binutils (moderate)

An update that solves 8 vulnerabilities and has 5 fixes is
now available.

Description:

This update for binutils fixes the following issues:

binutils was updated to version 2.35. (jsc#ECO-2373)

Update to binutils 2.35:

• The assembler can now produce DWARF-5 format line number tables.
• Readelf now has a “lint” mode to enable extra checks of the files it is
  processing.
• Readelf will now display “[…]” when it has to truncate a symbol name.
  The old behaviour - of displaying as many characters as possible, up to
  the 80 column limit - can be restored by the use of the
  –silent-truncation
  option.
• The linker can now produce a dependency file listing the inputs that it
  has processed, much like the -M -MP option supported by the compiler.

• fix DT_NEEDED order with -flto [bsc#1163744]

Update to binutils 2.34:

• The disassembler (objdump --disassemble) now has an option to generate
  ascii art thats show the arcs between that start and end points of
  control flow instructions.
• The binutils tools now have support for debuginfod. Debuginfod is a
  HTTP service for distributing ELF/DWARF debugging information as well as
  source code. The tools can now connect to debuginfod servers in order
  to download debug information about the files that they are processing.
• The assembler and linker now support the generation of ELF format files
  for the Z80 architecture.

• Add new subpackages for libctf and libctf-nobfd.

• Disable LTO due to bsc#1163333.

• Includes fixes for these CVEs: bsc#1153768 aka CVE-2019-17451 aka
  PR25070 bsc#1153770 aka CVE-2019-17450 aka PR25078

• fix various build fails on aarch64 (PR25210, bsc#1157755).

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[=<txt>] option to objdump which if present,
  provides a prefix to source code lines displayed in a disassembly.
• Add --set-section-alignment <section-name>=<power-of-2-align>
  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: bsc#1126826 aka CVE-2019-9077 aka
  PR1126826 bsc#1126829 aka CVE-2019-9075 aka PR1126829 bsc#1126831 aka

• Add xBPF target
• Fix various problems with DWARF 5 support in gas
• fix nm -B for objects compiled with -flto and -fcommon.
