(and that is for now being worked around by a binutils patch).
The rtld code tested &_DYNAMIC against 0 to see whether rtld itself
was built as PIC or not. While the sparc64 MD code did not rely
on the preset value of the GOT slot for _DYNAMIC any more due
to previous binutils changes, it still used to not be 0, so
that this check did work. The new binutils do however initialize
this slot with 0. As a consequence, rtld would not properly initialize
itself and crash.
Fix that by introducing a new macro, RTLD_IS_DYNAMIC, to take the role
of this test. For sparc64, it is implemented using the rtld_dynamic()
code that was already there. If an architecture does not provide its
own implementation, we default to the old check.
While being there, mark _DYNAMIC as a weak symbol in the sparc64
rtld_start.S. This is needed in the LDSCRIPT case, which is however
not currently supported for want of an actual ldscript.
Sanity checked with md5 on alpha, amd64, i386 and ia64.
eg:
[foo]
...
matches any executable 'foo'
[/usr/bin/foo/]
...
matches any executable under the directory /usr/bin/foo/
Exact matches continue to function as before.

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.
