The last section in a CTF dict is the string table, at an offset
represented by the cth_stroff header field. Its length is recorded in
the next field, cth_strlen, and the two added together are taken as the
size of the CTF dict. Upon opening a dict, we check that none of the
header offsets exceed this size, and we check when uncompressing a
compressed dict that the result of the uncompression is the same length:
but CTF dicts need not be compressed, and short ones are not.
Uncompressed dicts just use the ctf_size without checking it. This
field is thankfully almost unused: it is mostly used when reserializing
a dict, which can't be done to dicts read off disk since they're
read-only.
However, when opening an uncompressed foreign-endian dict we have to
copy it out of the mmaped region it is stored in so we can endian-
swap it, and we use ctf_size when doing that. When the cth_strlen is
corrupt, this can overrun.
Fix this by checking the ctf_size in all uncompressed cases, just as we
already do in the compressed case. Add a new test.
This came to light because various corrupted-CTF raw-asm tests had an
incorrect cth_strlen: fix all of them so they produce the expected
error again.

x86: Disallow invalid relocation against protected symbol
I am checking this into master and will backport it to 2.38 branch.
H.J
----
On x86, GCC 12 supports -mno-direct-extern-access to enable canonical
reference to protected function and disable copy relocation. With
-mno-direct-extern-access, the canonical protected function symbols must
be accessed via canonical reference and the protected data symbols in
shared libraries are non-copyable. Under glibc 2.35, non-canonical
reference to the canonical protected function will get the run-time error:
./y: internal_f: ./libfoo.so: non-canonical reference to canonical protected function
and copy relocations against the non-copyable protected symbols will get
the run-time error:
./x: internal_i: ./libfoo.so: copy relocation against non-copyable protected symbol
Update x86 linker to disallow non-canonical reference to the canonical
protected function:
ld: plt.o: non-canonical reference to canonical protected function `internal_f' in libfoo.so
ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: bad value
and copy relocation against the non-copyable protected symbol:

PR28827, assertion building LLVM 9 on powerpc64le-linux-gnu
The assertion is this one in ppc_build_one_stub
BFD_ASSERT (stub_entry->stub_offset >= stub_entry->group->stub_sec->size);
It is checking that a stub doesn't overwrite the tail of a previous
stub, so not something trivial.
Normally, stub sizing iterates until no stubs are added, detected by
no change in stub section size. Iteration also continues if no stubs
are added but one or more stubs increases in size, which also can be
detected by a change in stub section size. But there is a
pathological case where stub section sizing decreases one iteration
then increases the next. To handle that situation, stub sizing also
stops at more than STUB_SHRINK_ITER (20) iterations when calculated
stub section size is smaller. The previous larger size is kept for
the actual layout (so that building the stubs, which behaves like
another iteration of stub sizing, will see the stub section sizes
shrink). The problem with that stopping condition is that it assumes
that stub sizing is only affected by addresses external to the stub
sections, which isn't always true.
This patch fixes that by also keeping larger individual stub_offset
addresses past STUB_SHRINK_ITER. It also catches a further
pathological case where one stub shrinks and another expands in such a
way that no stub section size change is seen.

Re: PR28827, assertion building LLVM 9 on powerpc64le-linux-gnu
The previous patch wasn't quite correct. The size and padding depends
on offset used in the current iteration, and if we're fudging the
offset past STUB_SHRINK_ITER then we'd better use that offset. We
can't have plt_stub_pad using stub_sec->size as the offset.
