dynamic linker must be prepared to handle relocations against any
read-only segment, not only the segment which we, somewhat arbitrary,
declared the text.
For each read-only segment, add write permission before relocs are
processed, and return to the mapping mode requested by the phdr, after
relocs are done.

dlopen(3)'ing an empty .so file would just cause application to dump core
with SIGSEGV.
Make sure the file has enough data for at least the ELF header before
mmap'ing it.
Add a test case to check that dlopen an empty file return an error.
There were a separate discussion as to whether it should be SIGBUS
instead when you try to access region mapped from an empty file,
but it's definitely SIGSEGV now, so if anyone want to check that please
be my guest.

first calls mmap() with the arguments PROT_NONE and MAP_ANON to reserve a
single, contiguous range of virtual addresses for the entire shared library.
Later, rtld calls mmap() with the the shared library's file descriptor
and the argument MAP_FIXED to place the text and data sections within the
reserved range. The rationale for mapping shared libraries in this way is
explained in the commit message for Revision 190885. However, this approach
does have an unintended, negative consequence. Since the first call to
mmap() specifies MAP_ANON and not the shared library's file descriptor, the
kernel has no idea what alignment the vm object backing the file prefers.
As a result, the reserved range's alignment is unlikely to be the same as
the vm object's, and so mapping with superpages becomes impossible. To
address this problem, this revision adds the argument MAP_ALIGNED_SUPER to
the first call to mmap() if the text section is larger than the smallest
superpage size.
To determine if the text section is larger than the smallest superpage
size, rtld must always fetch the page size information. As a result, the
private code for fetching the base page size in rtld's builtin malloc is
redundant. Eliminate it. Requested by: kib

Potentially, this leaves one-page gap between succeeding dlopen(3),

Fix several cases were the whole mapping of the object leaked on error.
Use MAP_PREFAULT_READ for mmap(2) calls which map real object pages [2].

particular on ARM, do require working init arrays.
Traditional FreeBSD crt1 calls _init and _fini of the binary, instead
of allowing runtime linker to arrange the calls. This was probably
done to have the same crt code serve both statically and dynamically
linked binaries. Since ABI mandates that first is called preinit
array functions, then init, and then init array functions, the init
have to be called from rtld now.
To provide binary compatibility to old FreeBSD crt1, which calls _init
itself, rtld only calls intializers and finalizers for main binary if
binary has a note indicating that new crt was used for linking. Add
parsing of ELF notes to rtld, and cache p_osrel value since we parsed
it anyway.
The patch is inspired by init_array support for DragonflyBSD, written
by John Marino.

for the mapping by the object' file with the protection and mode of
the first loadable segment over the whole region. Then, it maps other
segments at the appropriate addresses inside the region.
On amd64, due to default alignment of the segments being 1Gb, the
subsequent segment mappings leave the holes in the region, that usually
contain mapping of the object' file past eof. Such mappings prevent
wiring of the address space, because the pages cannot be faulted in.
Change the way the mapping of the ELF objects is constructed, by first
mapping PROT_NONE anonymous memory over the whole range, and then
mapping the segments of the object over it. Take advantage of this new
order and allocate .bss by changing the protection of the range instead
of remapping.
Note that we cannot simply keep the holes between segments, because
other mappings may be made there. Among other issues, when the dso is
unloaded, rtld unmaps the whole region, deleting unrelated mappings.
The kernel ELF image activator does put the holes between segments, but
this is not critical for now because kernel loads only executable image
and interpreter, both cannot be unloaded. This will be fixed later, if
needed.
