|
|
|
.Nm

2002-07-06 19:19:48 +00:00

|
utility is a self-contained shared object providing run-time
|
1995-08-26 13:17:39 +00:00
|
|
|
support for loading and link-editing shared objects into a process'
|
2002-01-10 17:49:57 +00:00
|
|
|
address space.
|
|
|
|
It is also commonly known as the dynamic linker.
|
2000-01-29 03:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
It uses the data structures
|
1995-08-26 13:17:39 +00:00
|
|
|
contained within dynamically linked programs to determine which shared
|
2000-01-29 03:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
libraries are needed and loads them using the
|
1995-08-26 13:17:39 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr mmap 2
|
|
|
|
system call.

After all shared libraries have been successfully loaded,
|
1995-08-26 13:17:39 +00:00
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
proceeds to resolve external references from both the main program and
|
2002-01-10 17:49:57 +00:00
|
|
|
all objects loaded.
|
|
|
|
A mechanism is provided for initialization routines
|
2000-01-29 03:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
to be called on a per-object basis, giving a shared object an opportunity
|
|
|
|
to perform any extra set-up before execution of the program proper begins.
|
1997-05-27 13:46:40 +00:00
|
|
|
This is useful for C++ libraries that contain static constructors.

When resolving dependencies for the loaded objects,
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
2017-05-29 13:36:32 +00:00
|
|
|
translates dynamic token strings in rpath and soname.

|
|
|
option of the static linker was set when linking the binary,
|
|
|
|
the token expansion is performed at the object load time, see

2009-04-01 14:38:20 +00:00

.Xr ld 1 .

|

|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa $PLATFORM"
|
|
|
|
.It Pa $ORIGIN
|
|
|
|
Translated to the full path of the loaded object.

|
2022-11-10 16:35:00 +00:00

.It Pa $LIB
|
|

|
Translated to the system library path component on the platform.
|
|
|
|
It is

|
|
|
for native binaries, and typically
|
|
|

.Pa lib32

for compat32 binaries.

Other translations might exist for other ABIs supported on the platform.

.Pp
|
|
|
|
By default,

when a weak symbol definition is found, remember the definition and

keep searching in the remaining shared objects for a non-weak definition.
|

If found, the non-weak definition is preferred, otherwise the remembered

weak definition is returned.

|
2021-03-24 21:10:33 +00:00
|
|
|
A colon separated list of file descriptor numbers for libraries.
|
|
|
|
This is intended for preloading libraries in which we already have a file
|
|
|
|
descriptor.
|
|
|
|
This may optimize the process of loading libraries because we do not have to
|
|
|
|
look for them in directories.
|
|
|
|
It may also be useful in a capability base system where we do not have access to
|
|

global namespaces such as the filesystem.

|
2014-06-20 17:08:32 +00:00
|
|
|
A colon separated list of file descriptor numbers for library directories.
|
|
|
|
This is intended for use within
|
|
|
|
.Xr capsicum 4
|
|
|
|
sandboxes, when global namespaces such as the filesystem are unavailable.
|
|
|
|
It is consulted just after LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

When set to a nonempty string, prevents modifications of the PLT slots when
|
|
|
|
doing bindings.
|
|
|
|
As result, each call of the PLT-resolved function is resolved.
|
|
|
|
In combination with debug output, this provides complete account of
|
|
|
|
all bind actions at runtime.

1997-01-12 00:16:36 +00:00

|
|

|
|
to relocate all external function calls before starting execution of the
|
2002-01-10 17:49:57 +00:00
|
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
Normally, function calls are bound lazily, at the first call
|
1997-01-12 00:16:36 +00:00
|
|
|
of each function.
|
|
|

.Ev LD_BIND_NOW

increases the start-up time of a program, but it avoids run-time

- even faster getenv(), get all environment variable settings in a single

- ldd printf-like format specifications
- minor code cleanups, one vsprintf -> vsnprintf (harmless)
The library search sequence is a little more complete now. Before,
it'd search $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (by opendir/readdir/closedir), then read
the hints file, then read /usr/lib (again by scanning thr directory). It
would then fail if there was no "found" library.
Now, it does LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the hints file the same, but then uses
a longer fallback path. The -R path is fetched from the executable if
specified at build time, the ldconfig path is appended, and /usr/lib is
appended to that. Duplicates are suppressed. This means that simply
placing a new library in /usr/local/lib will work (the same as it did in
/usr/lib) without needing ldconfig -m. It will find it quicker if the
ldconfig is run though.
Similar changes have been made to the NetBSD ld.so, but ours is rather
different now due to John Polstra's speedups and fixes from a while back.

Add version indicators to rtld.
It is wrong to relate on __FreeBSD_version, either from
include/param.h, kernel, or libc, to check for rtld features.
Rtld might be from newer world than the running userspace.
Add special private symbols exported by rtld itself, to indicate the
changes in runtime behavior, and features that cannot be otherwise
detected or deduced at runtime.
Note that the symbols are not exported from libc, so they intentionally
cannot be linked against, and exported from the private namespace from rtld.
Consumers are required to use dlsym(3). For instance, for
_rtld_version_laddr_offset, user should do
ptr = dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, "_rtld_version_laddr_offset")
or even
ptr = dlvsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, "_rtld_version_laddr_offset",
"FBSDprivate_1.0");
Non-null ptr means that the change is present.
Also add _rtld_version__FreeBSD_version indicator to report the
headers version used at time of the rtld build.

private symbols namespace
|

|
|
.Dv FBSDprivate_1.0 .
|
|
|
|
Symbols start with the
|
|
|
|
.Dv _rtld_version
|
|
|
|
prefix.
|
|
|
|
Current list of defined symbols and corresponding features is:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
|
|
.It Dv _rtld_version__FreeBSD_version
|
|
|
|
Symbol exports the value of the
|
|
|
|
.Dv __FreeBSD_version
|
|
|
|
definition as it was provided during the
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
build.
|
|
|
|
The symbol is always present since the
|
|
|
|
.Dv _rtld_version
|
|
|
|
facility was introduced.
|
|
|
|
.It Dv _rtld_version_laddr_offset
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Va l_addr
|
|
|
|
member of the
|
|
|
|
.Vt link_map
|
|
|
|
structure contains the load offset of the shared object.
|
|
|
|
Before that,
|
|
|
|
.Va l_addr
|
|
|
|
contained the base address of the library.
|
|
|
|
See

Also it indicates the presence of
|
|
|
|
.Va l_refname
|
|

|
member of the structure.

The

|
.Va dlpi_tls_data
|
|
|
|
member of the structure
|
|
|
|
.Vt dl_phdr_info
|
|
|
|
contains the address of the module TLS segment for the calling thread,
|
|
|
|
and not the address of the initialization segment.

Add version indicators to rtld.
It is wrong to relate on __FreeBSD_version, either from
include/param.h, kernel, or libc, to check for rtld features.
Rtld might be from newer world than the running userspace.
Add special private symbols exported by rtld itself, to indicate the
changes in runtime behavior, and features that cannot be otherwise
detected or deduced at runtime.
Note that the symbols are not exported from libc, so they intentionally
cannot be linked against, and exported from the private namespace from rtld.
Consumers are required to use dlsym(3). For instance, for
_rtld_version_laddr_offset, user should do
ptr = dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, "_rtld_version_laddr_offset")
or even
ptr = dlvsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, "_rtld_version_laddr_offset",
"FBSDprivate_1.0");
Non-null ptr means that the change is present.
Also add _rtld_version__FreeBSD_version indicator to report the
headers version used at time of the rtld build.
