to an architecture-specific value defined in <machine/elf.h>. This
solves problems on large-memory systems that have a high value for
MAXDSIZ.
The load address is controlled by a new macro ELF_RTLD_ADDR(vmspace).
On the i386 it is hard-wired to 0x08000000, which is the standard
SVR4 location for the dynamic linker.
On the Alpha, the dynamic linker is loaded MAXDSIZ bytes beyond
the start of the program's data segment. This is the same place
a userland mmap(0, ...) call would put it, so it ends up just below
all the shared libraries. The rationale behind the calculation is
that it allows room for the data segment to grow to its maximum
possible size.
These changes have been tested on the i386 for several months
without problems. They have been tested on the Alpha as well,
though not for nearly as long. I would like to merge the changes
into 3.1 within a week if no problems have surfaced as a result of
them.

for possible buffer overflow problems. Replaced most sprintf()'s
with snprintf(); for others cases, added terminating NUL bytes where
appropriate, replaced constants like "16" with sizeof(), etc.
These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.

- Use the system headers method for Elf32/Elf64 symbol compatability
- get rid of the UPRINTF debugging.
- check the ELF header for compatability much more completely
- optimize the section mapper. Use the same direct VM interfaces that
imgact_aout.c and kern_exec.c use.
- Check the return codes from the vm_* functions better. Some return
KERN_* results, not an errno.
- prefault the page tables to reduce startup faults on page tables like
a.out does.
- reset the segment protection to zero for each loop, otherwise each
segment could get progressively more privs. (eg: if the first was
read/write/execute, and the second was meant to be read/execute, the
bug would make the second r/w/x too. In practice this was not a
problem because executables are normally laid out with text first.)
- Don't impose arbitary limits. Use the limits on headers imposed by
the need to fit them into one page.
- Remove unused switch() cases now that the verbose debugging is gone.
I've been using an earlier version of this for a month or so.
This sped up ELF exec speed a bit for me but I found it hard to get
consistant benchmarks when I tested it last (a few weeks ago).
I'm still bothered by the page read out of order caused by the
transition from data to bss. This which requires either part filling the
transition page or clearing the remainder.
This is the bulk of the support for doing kld modules. Two linker_sets
were replaced by SYSINIT()'s. VFS's and exec handlers are self registered.
kld is now a superset of lkm. I have converted most of them, they will
follow as a seperate commit as samples.
This all still works as a static a.out kernel using LKM's.
1) The vnode pager wasn't properly tracking the file size due to
"size" being page rounded in some cases and not in others.
This sometimes resulted in corrupted files. First noticed by
Terry Lambert.
Fixed by changing the "size" pager_alloc parameter to be a 64bit
byte value (as opposed to a 32bit page index) and changing the
pagers and their callers to deal with this properly.
2) Fixed a bogus type cast in round_page() and trunc_page() that
caused some 64bit offsets and sizes to be scrambled. Removing
the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers.
There may be problems with other bogus casts in close-by
macros. A quick check seemed to indicate that those were okay,
however.
Formerly, the heuristic involving the interpreter path took

segments (except memory-mapped devices) in the ELF core file. This
is really nice. You get access to the data areas of all shared
libraries, and even to files that are mapped read-write.
In the future, it might be good to add a new resource limit in the
spirit of RLIMIT_CORE. It would specify the maximum sized writable
segment to include in core dumps. Segments larger than that would
be omitted. This would be useful for programs that map very large
files read/write but that still would like to get usable core dumps.
object format of the executable being dumped. This is the first
step toward producing ELF core dumps in the proper format. I will
commit the code to generate the ELF core dumps Real Soon Now. In
the meantime, ELF executables won't dump core at all. That is
probably no less useful than dumping a.out-style core dumps as they
have done until now.

exec_map_first_page() to get the ld.so headers rather than risking a panic
on a page fault failure (eg: NFS server goes down).
Since all the ELF tools go to a lot of trouble to make sure everything
lives in the first page for executables, this is a win. I have not seen
any ELF executable on any system where all the headers didn't fit in the
first page with lots of room to spare.
I have been running variations of this code for some time on my pure ELF
