elfutils 0.162 released

[Mark Wielaard <mjw at redhat dot com>]

A new release of elfutils is available now at:
https://fedorahosted.org/releases/e/l/elfutils/0.162/

When building and packaging this release please look at the improved
configure output which will show all features detected/enabled and the
recommended settings (and which features can be enabled, but are not
supported).

All known ways to crash the elfutils tools and libraries caused by bogus
ELF files or DWARF data have been fixed. This release is Valgrind
memcheck clean, GCC -fsanitizer=undefined clean and the libelf and libdw
libraries don't have unbounded stack usage anymore as checked by GCC
-Wstack-usage.

Please do report issues if there are still ways a bad ELF file or bad
DWARF data can crash the libraries or tools. Ideally it is safe to
process any data and bad input should only results in an error being
reported.

* NEWS *

libdw:
  Install new header elfutils/known-dwarf.h.
  dwarf.h Add preliminary DWARF5 constants DW_TAG_atomic_type,
  DW_LANG_Fortran03, DW_LANG_Fortran08. dwarf_peel_type now also
  handles DW_TAG_atomic_type.

addr2line:
  Input addresses are now always interpreted as hexadecimal
  numbers, never as octal or decimal numbers.
  New option -a, --addresses to print address before each entry.
  New option -C, --demangle to show demangled symbols.
  New option --pretty-print to print all information on one line.

ar:
  CVE-2014-9447 Directory traversal vulnerability in ar extraction.

backends:
  x32 support.
