SHT_NOTE is the section that consists of
namesz, descsz, type, name + padding, desc + padding data.
This patch teaches yaml2obj, obj2yaml to dump and parse them.
This patch implements the section how it is described here:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/819-0690/chapter6-18048.html
Which says: "For 64–bit objects and 32–bit objects, each entry is an array of 4-byte words in
the format of the target processor"
The official specification is different
http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch5.pheader.html#note_section
And says: "n 64-bit objects (files with e_ident[EI_CLASS] equal to ELFCLASS64), each entry is an array
of 8-byte words in the format of the target processor. In 32-bit objects (files with e_ident[EI_CLASS]
equal to ELFCLASS32), each entry is an array of 4-byte words in the format of the target processor"
Since LLVM uses the first, 32-bit way, this patch follows it.
Was this part of the change intentional? This looks like a rebase that accidentally reverted one of your previous patches.
