Today's bug is in `elfutils`:
https://sourceware.org/PR33103

There `elfutils` build system did something like:

$ cat stack.cc
#include <stack>
int main(){}

$ gcc -I. stack.cc -o stack
$ gcc -I. stack.cc -o stack

It breaks as:

$ gcc -I. stack.cc -o stack
# ok
$ gcc -I. stack.cc -o stack
In file included from stack.cc:1:
./stack:1:1: error: stray '\177' in program
1 | <U+007F>ELF<U+0002>...

Included <stack> is an ELF file now.

Note that someone created various CVEs for #elfutils based on (fixed and closed) bug reports without following our SECURITY policy: https://sourceware.org/cgit/elfutils/tree/SECURITY

These are NOT security issues according to our policy.

We request that people who report suspected security vulnerabilities report them through the contacts in our SECURITY policy and not through non-affiliated CNAs.

Creating random CVEs without coordinating with the upstream project and designated CNA just causes lots of make work.

Debuginfod project update 2024 by Aaron Merey

https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2025/01/14/debuginfod-project-update-2024

- Metrics and scale of debuginfod servers #prometheus
- New tools and features in debuginfod #elfutils
- IMA verification support
- Addressing kernel VDSO extraction bottlenecks @osandov
- Lazy debug info downloading in #Valgrind and #GDB

'"Many #profiling tools on #Linux have previously been limited by their reliance on stack unwinding algorithms that require commonly-used frame pointer optimizations to be disabled. This article introduces eu-stacktrace, a prototype tool that uses the #elfutils toolkit’s unwinding libraries to support a sampling profiler to unwind frame pointer-less stack sample data."'

Friendlier CONTRIBUTING. RELR support. eu-readelf now supports -D, --use-dynamic and can show version 9 .gdb_index. A new eu-srclines tool that shows all files that were used to create a binary. debuginfod has a new schema for a 60% compression in filename representation.

After the #glibc libc-alpha and #gcc gcc-patches mailinglist tests to avoid From rewriting worked out nicely we enabled the same settings to some other mailinglists.

The other gcc patches lists for #libstdc++, #libgccjit, #fortran and #gcc-rust. And those project that use #patchwork, #newlib, #elfutils, #libabigail and #gdb.

This hopefully makes mailing patches and using git am on them a bit nicer.
