[ol6_latest] binutils-devel-2.20.51.0.2-5.48.0.1.el6_10.1.i686

This package contains BFD and opcodes static libraries and associated
header files.  Only *.a libraries are included, because BFD doesn't
have a stable ABI.  Developers starting new projects are strongly encouraged
to consider using libelf instead of BFD.

• Thu Nov 21 2019 Egeyar Bagcioglu <egeyar.bagcioglu@oracle.com> - 2.20.51.0.2-5.48.0.1.el6_10.1

  - CVE-2018-12207 / Intel SKX102
  - Introduce the following gas options:
    -malign-branch
    -malign-branch-boundary
    -malign-branch-prefix-size
    -mbranches-within-32B-boundaries
  - Lessen the performance hit due to the Mitigation of Intel's JCC Erratum by
    backporting the patch series that teach gas not to place various jump
    instructions at the end of 32 byte boundries or across such boundaries.
  - Prepatory patches:
    binutils-2.25-i386-gas-01-limit-nop-instructions-to-10-bytes.patch
    binutils-2.31-i386-gas-01-add-.nop-assembler-directive.patch
    binutils-2.31-i386-gas-02-rewrite-NOP-generation.patch
    binutils-2.31-i386-gas-03-insns-exceeding-the-15-byte.patch
    binutils-2.31-i386-gas-04-pass-max_bytes-to-TC_FRAG_INIT.patch
  - Mitigation Patches:
    binutils-2.33-i386-gas-01-add-md_cons_worker.patch
    binutils-2.33-i386-gas-02-add-md_generic_table_relax_frag.patch
    binutils-2.33-i386-gas-03-align-branches-within-a-fixed-boundary.patch
    binutils-2.33-i386-gas-04-add-mbranches-within-32B-boundaries.patch
    binutils-2.33-i386-gas-05-add-tests-for-malign-branch-boundary-and-malign.patch
