* 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.
indicates whether we're relocating ld.elf_so itself. Use this in some places
rather than hackish tests on `dodebug'. (The Alpha and HPPA `dodebug' tests
were actually noops, because RTLD_RELOCATE_SELF is not set, and therefore
dodebug is always true.)
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...)
* _rtld_relocate_plt_lazy() fixes up all the relocs pointing to the PLT. (On
most platforms it just does a simple base-relative fixup; on SPARC it does
nothing.)
* _rtld_relocate_plt_object() does immediate binding for a PLT entry.
The basic gist is that this saves a bit of time on SPARC (where the iteration
through the pltrela table was gratuitous), and a little less time on all other
platforms. A whole lot of #ifdef'ed crap is moved out of reloc.c, too.
NOT tested on: hppa sh x86_64
* Pass a symbol number to _rtld_find_symdef(), not a r_info.
* Don't try to do a symbol lookup when we find an unsupported relocation;
instead get the symbol name from the referencing object's strtab.
* Add preliminary support for `-z combreloc'-style startup optimization on
i386, `#ifdef COMBRELOC'.
thus isolating the "iffy hueristic" from the rest of the relocation code.
* In the "iffy hueristic", use _GOT_END_, not _DYNAMIC.
* Include the addend in Alpha R(RELATIVE) relocations.
old PLT format, and one that works with the new.
XXX We currently always use _rtld_bind_start_old() in
_rtld_setup_alpha_pltgot(). We need to add code to peek
into one of the PLT entries to see which format it's in
and pick the correct binding routine.
relocs for local symbols as section-relative REL32 relocs with values based
at 0, whereas previously BFD generated those relocs with values based at the
start address of the section.
This code adjusts all STT_SECTION REL32 relocs which have values less than
the start of the section by adding in the base address of the section. This
may limit section sizes to 2GB, but that shouldn't be a problem for now.
XXX: Needs to be followed-up with binutils list to get closure on which
interpretation is correct (the new ABI or the old one), I just haven't
yet had the time to chase that.
was ambiguous in the case of a weak symbol that was not defined. This caused
RTLD_NOW to fail badly with shared libraries linked against the new crtbegin.o.
* Apply DT_PLTRELSZ to (one of) pltrel or pltrela *after* we've finished
parsing the headers, so we know which one.
* Fix sparc64 bogons. (It works now!)
