Just to rephrase your initial description to make sure I understand, the reason we can't rely on the `notes_begin` method to report the context itself is because not all errors that `notes_begin` could ultimately report have the information needed to provide this context, right? And because of this, we need the context to be added at a higher level, right?



================
Comment at: llvm/tools/llvm-readobj/ELFDumper.cpp:5591
+      reportError(
+          createError("unable to read notes from the PT_NOTE segment: " +
+                      toString(std::move(Err))),
----------------
There could be more than one PT_NOTE segment, so perhaps this should also say something about the segment's index or other identifying property, so that it can be clearly identified. What do you think?
