+Subject: [PATCH] Use bfd_malloc_and_get_section
+
+It's nicer than xmalloc followed by bfd_get_section_contents, since
+xmalloc exits on failure and needs a check that its size_t arg doesn't
+lose high bits when converted from bfd_size_type.
+
+ PR binutils/21665
+ * objdump.c (strtab): Make var a bfd_byte*.
+ (disassemble_section): Don't limit malloc size. Instead, use
+ bfd_malloc_and_get_section.
+ (read_section_stabs): Use bfd_malloc_and_get_section. Return
+ bfd_byte*.
+ (find_stabs_section): Remove now unnecessary cast.
+ * objcopy.c (copy_object): Use bfd_malloc_and_get_section. Free
+ contents on error return.
+ * nlmconv.c (copy_sections): Use bfd_malloc_and_get_section.

+Upstream-Status: Backport
