[OPCODE][AARCH64]Check mapping symbol while backward searching for IT block


Hi all,

For the following simple assembly code.

        .text
        .thumb
        .syntax unified
        .thumb_func
f:
        nop.w
        .long 0xbf080000
        nop.w

When objdumped, the following code assembly will be generated.

   0:   f3af 8000       nop.w
   4:   bf080000        .word   0xbf080000
   8:   f3af 8000       nopeq.w

The instruction at pc=0x8 is treated as conditional executed instruction within an IT block. This is because objdump misinterprets data (at pc=0x4) as an IT instruction. During the backward search for a proper IT instruction, mapping state for the current instruction is not checked.


In this patch, I create a new function mapping_symbol_for_insn to search the mapping state given an addr. It's used in find_ifthen_state to further guard the check for an IT instruction.

A new testcase is also added. Binutils checked without any new issues. Is Okay to commit on trunk?


Kind regards,
Renlin Li
