GNU Build Attribute ELF Notes are generated by the GCC annobin plugin
and described at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Toolchain/Watermark
Unfortunately the constants aren't yet described in the standard glibc
elf.h so they have been added to the elfutils specific elf-knowledge.h.
The notes abuse the name owner field to encode some data not in the
description. This makes it a bit hard to parse. We have to match the
note owner name prefix (to "GA") to be sure the type is valid. We also
cannot rely on the owner name being a valid C string since the attribute
name and value can contain zero (terminators). So pass around namesz
to the ebl note parsing functions.
eu-elflint will recognize and eu-readelf -n will now show the notes:
Note section [27] '.gnu.build.attributes' of 56080 bytes at offset 0x114564:
Owner Data size Type
GA 16 GNU Build Attribute OPEN
Address Range: 0x2f30f - 0x2f30f

A new test was added to run-readelf -n for the existing annobin file.

Hi Mark,
Well I for one am very happy to see this patch proposed for elfutils... :-)
> + /* There might or might not be a pair of addresses in the desc. */
FYI - There was an old version of the Watermark specification that only put
one address into the note's desc field. This version was never used in
production binaries, so it is unlikely that such notes will ever be found in
the wild.
Anyway although I am not an official elfutils reviewer the patch looks great
to me. I hope that it will be accepted into the sources.
Cheers
Nick

If it never happens in production binaries lets ignore this quirk.

Lets do that then :) It also resolves the self-test failure on Fedora
29, so it should make the buildbot happy again. Pushed to master.
Thanks,

Hi Nick,
I have a local hack that defines SHF_GNU_BUILD_NOTE and allows it in
elflint. But without any documentation on what the semantics of this
section flag are. I cannot find this flag being used in the binaries
generated on Fedora 29. Is this flag ever used?
Thanks,
Mark

No. :-(
I would like to use it, but since it has not been accepted into the ELF
standard yet, and none of the usual tools recognise it, I have not enabled
its generation by the annobin plugin.
Cheers
