ab6c6377b3 If errors occur during the loading of the shared libraries required by
the main program, report them directly from the dynamic linker and die
there, rather than returning an error message to crt0.o.  This enables
the printing of error messages even for old executables, whose version
of crt0.o is not able to print them.

This fix closes PR bin/1869.

The code in crt0.o for printing error messages from the dynamic linker
is no longer used, because of this change.  But it must remain, for
backward compatibility with older dynamic linkers.

9ac501e21b There's no need to 'unsetenv()' unsafe environment variables explicitly
since rt_readenv() already takes care of not setting unsafe variables.
This was part of the changes I submitted to Peter and John during the

5584286a91 Update to handle new version ld.so.hints and info in executable for
configurable fallback search paths, as well as new crt interface version.

Also:
 - even faster getenv(), get all environment variable settings in a single
   pass.
 - 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.

The ldd printf-like format support came direct from NetBSD.

(Immutable targets can't be renamed without opening a window when
neither the source nor the target is immutable.  Perhaps there
should be a rename_immutable syscall to do this if unsetting the

1dd43c183e When checking to see whether a needed shared library has already
been loaded, look for a match by device and inode number if the
traditional pathname comparisons don't find a match.  This detects
the case in which a library is requested using two different names
which are really links to the same file, and avoids loading it
twice.

5a81ed9667 This release is a moderate restructuring of the dynamic linker.
It addresses a number of problems that were present in earlier
versions.

The calls to the "init" and "fini" functions of shared libraries
have been reordered, so that they are called in a strictly nested
fashion, as is required for C++ constructors and destructors.  In
addition, the "init" functions are called in better order relative
to each other.  That makes the system more tolerant of C++ programs
which depend on a library's being initialized before its clients.

The dynamic linker is now more tolerant of shared libraries in
which dependencies on other shared libraries are incompletely
recorded.

Cleanup in the event of errors has been improved throughout the
dynamic linker.  A number of memory leaks were eliminated.

The warning message for a shared library whose minor version number
is too old has been clarified.

The code dealing with the "ld.so.hints" file has been cleaned up.
A bug that caused the hints file to be unmapped incompletely has
been fixed.  A different bug that could potentially cause the hints
file to be mapped on top of a loaded object has been fixed.

The code that searches for shared libraries has been cleaned up.
The searching is now more compatible with that done by SunOS and
SVR4.  Also, some unnecessary and useless searches of both the
hints file and library directories have been eliminated.

1e37fc9d59 Changed the terminology for what used to be called the "memorizing"
vector.  Now it is called the "symbol caching" vector.  This was made
possible and unconfusing by other changes that allowed me to localize
everything having to do with the caching vector in the function
reloc_map().

Switched to alloca() for allocating the caching vector, and eliminated
the special mmap-based allocation routines.  Although this was motivated
by performance reasons, it led to significant simplification of the
code, and made it possible to confine the symbol caching code to the
single function reloc_map().

Got rid of the unnecessary and inefficient division loop at the
beginning of rtld().

Reduced the number of calls to getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH") to just 1, on
suggestion from <davidg@root.com>.

Added breaks out of the relocation loops when the relocation address is
found to be 0.  A relocation address of 0 is caused by an unused
relocation entry.  Unused relocation entries are caused by linking a
shared object with the "-Bsymbolic" switch.  The runtime linker itself
is linked that way, and the last 40% of its relocation entries are
unused.  Thus, breaking out of the loop on the first such entry is a
performance win when ld.so relocates itself.  As a side benefit, it
permits removing a test from md_relocate_simple() in
../i386/md-static-funcs.c.

Unused relocation entries in other shared objects (linked with
"-Bsymbolic") caused even bigger problems in previous versions of the
runtime linker. The runtime linker interpreted the unused entries as if
they were valid. That caused it to perform repeated relocations of the
first byte of the shared object.  In order to do that, it had to remap
the text segment writable.  Breaking out of the loop on the first unused
relocation entry solves that.

468f82b316 Run-time linker speedups - Round One
Implemented symbol memorizing to reduce the number of calls to lookup(),
making relocation go faster.  While relocating a given shared object,
the dynamic linker maintains a memorizing vector that is directly
indexed by the symbol number in the relocation entry.  The first time a
given symbol is looked up, the memorizing vector is filled in with a
pointer to the symbol table entry, and a pointer to the so_map of the
shared object in which the symbol was defined.  On subsequent uses of
the same symbol, that information is retrieved directly from the
memorizing vector, without calling lookup() again.

A symbol that is referenced in a relocation entry is typically
referenced in many relocation entries, so this memorizing reduces the
number of calls to lookup() dramatically.  The overall improvement in
the speed of dynamic linking is also dramatic -- as much as a factor of
three for programs that use many shared libaries.

e1ec3d8b3c Fixup the "ld.so failed" message for the case when ld.so finds undefined
symbols.

An easy example to see this is to develop an X program which links
against Xt, but doesn't add -lX11 to the link line.  It will link fine,
but cause run-time errors by ld.so because of missing symbols used by Xt
defined in X11.  This patch makes the errors more readable.

82aaeb09ad Change ld.so to correctly load dependant libraries for dlopen and unload them
on dlclose.  Also correctly call constructors and destructors for libraries
linked with /usr/lib/c++rt0.o.
Change interpretation of dlopen manpage to call _init() rather than init()
for dlopened objects.
Change c++rt0.o to avoid using atexit to call destructors, allowing dlclose to
call destructors when an object is unloaded.
Change interface between crt0 and ld.so to allow crt0 to call a function on
exit to call destructors for shared libraries explicitly.

These changes are backwards compatible.  Old binaries will work with the new
ld.so and new binaries will work with the old ld.so.  A version number has
been introduced in the crt0-ld.so interface to allow for future changes.
