strcmp() by performing path name length comparison first. In the test
with Mozilla, the number was reduced to 1068 from 7182 (yes, we saved
6114 strcmp()!).
page of the object double-mapped. Not that it matters much, but someone was
whinging about it.
While I'm at it, nuke obj->phdr and obj->phsize; they're unused.
* Rename _rtld_find_library() to _rtld_load_library(). It now calls
_rtld_load_object() if necessary to actually load the object, rather
than having the caller do it. To do this, it also takes the `mode'
argument that gets passed to _rtld_load_object().
* On a related note, remove _rtld_check_library(), and instead call
_rtld_load_object() to instead try actually loading the object. We
save two extra namei's and a bunch of redundant work (almost
literally the same code) this way.
* In _rtld_map_object(), mmap(2) the first page read-only, rather than
read(2)ing it.
* In _rtld_symlook_obj(), compare the *second* character of the symbol
name before calling strcmp(). (This first character is too
frequently `_', and turns out to not be helpful, in libc.)
* Also in _rtld_symlook_obj(), remove the bogus STT_FUNC special case
-- this also allows removing the `in_plt' argument to
_rtld_symlook_list() and _rtld_symlook_obj().
Also:
* In _rtld_obj_from_addr(), rather than trying to look up `_end' in
the each object, instead use obj->mapsize as the upper bound.
executable was of type ET_DYN. Use this instead of `mainprog' to determine
whether we need to do base-relative fixups of the PLT. (This allows loading
non-relocatable objects, should we desire to do that at some point...)
- implement SIMPLEQ_REMOVE(head, elm, type, field). whilst it's O(n),
this mirrors the functionality of SLIST_REMOVE() (the other
singly-linked list type) and FreeBSD's STAILQ_REMOVE()
- remove the unnecessary elm arg from SIMPLEQ_REMOVE_HEAD().

- remove notes about SIMPLEQ not supporting arbitrary element removal
- use SIMPLEQ_FOREACH() instead of home-grown for loops
- use SIMPLEQ_EMPTY() appropriately
- use SIMPLEQ_*() instead of accessing sqh_first,sqh_last,sqe_next directly
- reorder manual page; be consistent about how the types are listed
- other minor cleanups
region first (using the data/bss protection) covering it, then overlay
the text and data regions at the appropriate offsets within the region,
and then unmap any gap between the text and data.
The previous method of maping the entire address space with the actual
file object itself is incorrect, as it may extend past the end of the
file if the section alignment is large enough.
This bug was the source of the libposix failure on the SPARC and another
similar failure (with libc!) on the Alpha (failure was accompanied by
a "uvn_io: size check fired" message on the console).
kit, then hacked on by Matt Thomas <matt@3am-software.com>, then by me (to
make it work with new versions of the toolchain, etc.). This runs, but it's
in serious need of cleaning and/or a fair bit of reworking. See the README
file for more information, and a list of things to do.
