+;; Backport "Save/restore file offset while reading notes in core file"
+;; (Keith Seitz, RHBZ 1931344)
+
+A recent bug (RH BZ 1931344) has exposed a bug in the core file
+build-ID support that I introduced a while ago. It is pretty
+easy to demonstate the problem following a simplified procedure
+outlined in that bug:
+
+[shell1]
+shell1$ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm
+
+[shell2]
+shell2$ pkill -SEGV -x qemu-kvm
+
+[shell1]
+Segmentation fault (core dumped)
+
+Load this core file into GDB without specifying an executable
+(an unfortunate Fedora/RHEL-ism), and GDB will inform the user
+to install debuginfo for the "missing" executable:
+
+$ gdb -nx -q core.12345
+...
+Missing separate debuginfo for the main executable file
+Try: dnf --enablerepo='*debug*' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/e2/e9c66d3117fb2bbb5b2be122f04f2664e5df54
+Core was generated by `/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm'.
+Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
+...
+
+The suggested build-ID is actaully for gmp not qemu-kvm. The problem
+lies in _bfd_elf_core_find_build_id, where we loop over program headers
+looking for note segments:
+
+ /* Read in program headers and parse notes. */
+ for (i = 0; i < i_ehdr.e_phnum; ++i, ++i_phdr)
+ {
+ Elf_External_Phdr x_phdr;
+
+ if (bfd_bread (&x_phdr, sizeof (x_phdr), abfd) != sizeof (x_phdr))
+ goto fail;
+ elf_swap_phdr_in (abfd, &x_phdr, i_phdr);
+
+ if (i_phdr->p_type == PT_NOTE && i_phdr->p_filesz > 0)
+ {
+ elf_read_notes (abfd, offset + i_phdr->p_offset,
+ i_phdr->p_filesz, i_phdr->p_align);
+
+ if (abfd->build_id != NULL)
+ return TRUE;
+ }
+
+elf_read_notes uses bfd_seek to forward the stream to the location of
+the note segment. When control returns to _bfd_elf_core_fild_build_id,
+the stream is no longer in the location looking at program headers, and
+all subsequent reads will read from the wrong file offset.
+
+To fix this, this patch marks the stream location and ensures
+that it is restored after elf_read_notes is called.
