free() call, change the allocation policy to leave the responsibility for
allocation/freeing the pathname to _rtld_map_object(), instead of having
the caller allocate it and _rtld_map_object() free it. This simplifies the
code a lot and it is more efficient.
"Fix a bug that showed up when debugging dynamically linked programs.
References from GDB to "printf" and various other functions would
find the versions in the dynamic linker itself, rather than the
versions in the program's libc. This fix moves the GDB link map
entry for the dynamic linker to the end of the search list, where
its symbols will be found only if they are not found anywhere else."
"printf" isn't true for us, but various libc symbols are, e.g. "malloc".

32-bit SuperH can not pretend that _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is a normal
variable, because of the way PIC variable references is generated, but
as compiler arranges for _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ address to be in r12
anyway, just use that value by declaring it as a global register
variable. Makes sh3 compile with RTLD_DEBUG.
versions used by others in libc weak, so that we have:
name: weak
__name: weak
___name: strong
- Add __name strong aliases of the dlfcn names in ld.elf_so, so that we have:
name: strong
__name: strong
This allows ld.elf_so to self-resolve both the name and __name variants
of the dlfcn functions, the former being required for dlfcn support in
applications, the latter being required for dlfcn support in libc.

Lazy binding doesn't work 100% of the time so force immediate binding.
One possible reason is that the PLT stub blows away r20 which the
compiler might not take into account.
Previously dlsym resolved to the version in crt0.o or libc which would
mean that the caller's shared object couldn't be determined correctly
using __builtin_return_address(0).
Mainly from FreeBSD, but adapted by me. Benefits of this solutions are:
- backward comptibility maintained
- existing broken binaries are fixed with a new ld.elf_so
- __mainprog_obj can be removed from crt0.o
- we do the same thing as FreeBSD

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.
There are several optimizations here:
1) Objects on _rtld_list_main do not participate in the DAG structures
at all. This is okay because all symbols must be resolvable at
link/load time, and _rtld_list_main is always searched first, so
any references from those objects must necessarily be resolved to
other objects on _rtld_list_main.
(Making this work completely required setting obj->main a bit
earlier; hence the RTLD_MAIN hack.)
2) Objects on _rtld_list_main are not put on _rtld_list_global,
preventing an extra search.
3) A bit is used to keep track of whether an object is on
_rtld_list_global, so we don't have to do a silly linear search.
4) A small attempt is made to prevent objects being put on the DAG
lists multiple times (using a silly linear search).
The sum of this appears to be a ~10% (.3s) reduction in Mozilla's
startup time on my 800MHz box.
Also, make sure _rtld_objmain->path is always set, just to make the
debug output nicer.
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.
years now.) Use _rtld_pagesz instead of getpagesize() to determine the page
size in our local malloc(). Saves a system call.
Also, since we're now relocated early, we don't need to be careful to avoid
globals, so most of the VARPSZ hacks are eliminated.
l_addr is always supposed to be obj->relocbase -- or so says the GDB code that
uses it. So, set it to this on all platforms. It already was on VAX
explicitly, and on everything else except MIPS implicitly (because
mapbase==relocbase for all existing shlibs). For some silly/stupid reason, a
new field was created that the MIPS GDB currently uses.
Another MD #ifdef bites it.
* 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.
