[RFC PATCH, binutils, ARM 4/9] Use getters/setters to access ARM branch type


Hi,

[Posting patch series as RFC]

This patch is part of a patch series to add support for ARMv8-M security extension[1] to GNU ld. This specific patch changes all accesses to the branch type stored in the st_target_internal field of a Elf_Internal_Sym structure or in the target_internal field of a elf_link_hash_entry structure by getter and setters. This is required by subsequent patches to also store in these fields whether a symbol is a special symbol indicating a secure entry function.


[1] Software requirements for ARMv8-M security extension are described in document ARM-ECM-0359818 [2]
[2] Available on http://infocenter.arm.com in Developer guides and articles > Software development > ARMÂv8-M Security Extensions: Requirements on Development Tools

ChangeLog entries are as follow:


*** bfd/ChangeLog ***

2015-12-16  Thomas Preud'homme  <thomas.preudhomme@arm.com>

        * elf32-arm.c (elf32_arm_size_stubs): Use new macros
        ARM_GET_SYM_BRANCH_TYPE and ARM_SET_SYM_BRANCH_TYPE to respectively get
        and set branch type of a symbol.
        (bfd_elf32_arm_process_before_allocation): Likewise.
        (elf32_arm_relocate_section): Likewise and fix identation along the
        way.
        (allocate_dynrelocs_for_symbol): Likewise.
        (elf32_arm_finish_dynamic_symbol): Likewise.
        (elf32_arm_swap_symbol_in): Likewise.
        (elf32_arm_swap_symbol_out): Likewise.


*** gas/ChangeLog ***

2015-12-16  Thomas Preud'homme  <thomas.preudhomme@arm.com>

        * config/tc-arm.c (arm_adjust_symtab): Use ARM_SET_SYM_BRANCH_TYPE to
        set branch type of a symbol.


*** gdb/ChangeLog ***

2015-12-16  Thomas Preud'homme  <thomas.preudhomme@arm.com>

        * arm-tdep.c (arm_elf_make_msymbol_special): Use
        ARM_GET_SYM_BRANCH_TYPE to get branch type of a symbol.


*** include/elf/ChangeLog ***

2015-12-16  Thomas Preud'homme  <thomas.preudhomme@arm.com>

        * arm.h (ARM_SYM_BRANCH_TYPE): Replace by ...
        (ARM_GET_SYM_BRANCH_TYPE): ... this ...
        (ARM_SET_SYM_BRANCH_TYPE): ... and this.


*** ld/ChangeLog ***

2015-12-16  Thomas Preud'homme  <thomas.preudhomme@arm.com>

        (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_finish): Use ARM_GET_SYM_BRANCH_TYPE to get
        branch type of a symbol.


*** opcodes/ChangeLog ***

2015-12-16  Thomas Preud'homme  <thomas.preudhomme@arm.com>

        * arm-dis.c (get_sym_code_type): Use ARM_GET_SYM_BRANCH_TYPE to get
        branch type of a symbol.
        (print_insn): Likewise.
