[binutils-gdb] Always pass a valid section header offset to elf_parse_notes


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=08698b7b46c9c932530dcbcd7e851d27a7d2c503

commit 08698b7b46c9c932530dcbcd7e851d27a7d2c503
Author: Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Nov 29 11:14:02 2016 +0000

    Always pass a valid section header offset to elf_parse_notes
    
    _bfd_elf_make_section_from_shdr calls elf_parse_notes with an offset
    of -1.  This argument is used to calculate Elf_Internal_Note.descpos,
    which ends up set to a positive but meaningless value.  This commit
    updates _bfd_elf_make_section_from_shdr to pass the correct offset to
    elf_parse_notes, making Elf_Internal_Note.descpos correct in all cases.
    
    bfd/ChangeLog:
    
    	* elf.c (_bfd_elf_make_section_from_shdr): Pass offset to
    	elf_parse_notes.
