> 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?

Yes. `notes_begin` returns `Elf_Note_Iterator` which might report errors when used, but it doesn't have a context.

I.e. this construction might report errors from both iterator and `notes_begin()` call by itself:

  Error Err = Error::success();
  for (const typename ELFT::Note Note : Obj.notes(P, Err))





================
Comment at: llvm/tools/llvm-readobj/ELFDumper.cpp:5591
+      reportError(
+          createError("unable to read notes from the PT_NOTE segment: " +
+                      toString(std::move(Err))),

Yes. This is what D92021 does.
