and utilize it. This greatly reduces the number of calls to open(2) and
malloc(3) for programs like mozilla that depend on many shared objects
while it doesn't affect performance of small programs.
-dynamic-linker=/libexec/ld.elf_so) if the BINDIR of the program being
built is /bin or /sbin.
The reason we do this is because now all programs *except* those in
/bin and /sbin (i.e. the "special cases") match the default the compiler
uses, which is what is used for things in e.g. xsrc, pkgsrc, and other
random 3rd party programs.
This is done by decoupling where a shlib is installed from how it
is located. Two new variables, SHLIBINSTALLDIR and SHLINKINSTALLDIR,
contain the former information, and key off MKDYNAMICROOT only. SHLIBDIR
and SHLINKDIR contain the latter, and key off MKDYNAMICROOT and BINDIR.
The SHLIBINSTALLDIR, SHLIBDIR, _LIBSODIR, SHLINKINSTALLDIR, and
SHLINKDIR parameters are moved to a new <bsd.shlib.mk>; see bsd.README
for usage details.
instructions. Function calls use GOT indirection, and we only patch the
GOT.
2) The mask-comparison optimization always fails, because the saved mask
always has 0x2000 set, and the PLT stub mask never does. So, remove it.
Remove the call to _rtld_relocate_objects() completely -- except on VAX, where
we TEMPORARILY call _rtld_relocate_nonplt_objects() directly.
Also add more assertions -- ld.elf_so should never have PLT relocations.
Fix an obvious bug in the 64-bit PLT fixup: the SLLX was by 12 bits, when it
should be 32.
Fix what *appear* to be two bugs in the >32768 PLT entry stub:
* One division was wrong (/14 rather than /24).
* We need to subtract 1048576 (to make the offset relative to the beginning of
the upper section), not add it.
This path is still untested, and buggy.
way we don't have to worry about malloc() failure. Also closes
a memory leak since vis_user was never free()d. Lack of malloc()
checking pointed out by Peter Werner.
from openbsd
symbols in the global part of the symbol table, use the updated GOT entry
rather than doing a lookup. (This provides the same effect as `-z combreloc'
on other platforms -- at most one lookup is done per symbol.)
Unfortunately, it is necessary to turn off lazy binding on MIPS. As the
comment says:
* XXX DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
* You might think this is stupid, as it intentionally
* defeats lazy binding -- and you'd be right.
* Unfortunately, for lazy binding to work right, we
* need to a way to force the GOT slots used for
* function pointers to be resolved immediately. This
* is supposed to be done automatically by the linker,
* by not outputting a PLT slot and setting st_value
* to 0, but GNU ld does not do so reliably.
