with the correct alignment. This is important because this calls to
library static constructors are made from here. The bug in the old crt*.s
files hid this because in this case, two wrongs do indeed make a right.
Also, call _rtld_bind() with the correct alignment, because it calls back
into the pthread library locking functions. If things happen just
the wrong way, we get a SIG10 due to the broken stack alignment.
that this provokes. "Wherever possible" means "In the kernel OR NOT
C++" (implying C).
There are places where (void *) pointers are not valid, such as for
function pointers, but in the special case of (void *)0, agreement
settles on it being OK.
Most of the fixes were NULL where an integer zero was needed; many
of the fixes were NULL where ascii <nul> ('\0') was needed, and a
few were just "other".
Tested on: i386 sparc64
(libmap available) and 1 for failure. Assign this return to the
global 'libmap_disable' variable in rtld.c.
This totally prevents any libmap functions from being called after
lm_init() if no config file is present.
rtld. When _DYNAMIC is referenced normally from C the global offset
table is used implicitly, but newer versions of binutils don't initialize
it statically in the binary, so this doesn't work until rtld is relocated,
which _DYNAMIC is needed for... So, as on other systems with the same
problem, we disassemble a call instruction to _DYNAMIC in order to get
its address.
Setting the LD_DUMP_REL_PRE or LD_DUMP_REL_POST environment variables
cause rtld-elf to output a table of all relocations.
This is useful for debugging.
While I'm here:
- Let lm_add() call strdup() on its own behalf.
- Use a temporary pointer when parsing constraints; only set the
constraint pointer on a totally successful match.

objects.
Programs such as sshd depend on two pointers to the same function being
equal in a given process. However, the current ia64 implementation
ensures that they're equal when both the pointers are instantiated in
the same ELF object. The attached patch ensures that they're equal
irrespective of where they're instantiated.
