libelf: Fixup SHF_COMPRESSED sh_addralign in elf_update if necessary.
In elf_getdata.c we have the following to compensate for possibly
bad sh_addralign values of compressed sections:
/* Compressed data has a header, but then compressed data.
Make sure to set the alignment of the header explicitly,
don't trust the file alignment for the section, it is
often wrong. */
if ((flags & SHF_COMPRESSED) != 0)
{
entsize = 1;
align = __libelf_type_align (elf->class, ELF_T_CHDR);
}
Which makes sure the d_data alignment is correct for the Chdr struct
at the start of the compressed section.
But this means that if a user just reads such a compressed section
without changing it, and then tries to write it out again using
elf_update they get an error message about d_align and sh_addralign
being out of sync.
We already correct obviously incorrect sh_entsize fields.
Do the same for the sh_addralign field of a SHF_COMPRESSED section.
