Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
phdr locks locked. This allows to call rtld services from the
callback, which is only reasonable for dlopen(path, RTLD_NOLOAD) to
test existence of the library in the image, and for dlsym(). The
later might still be not quite safe, due to the lazy resolution of
filters.
To allow dropping the locks around iteration in dl_iterate_phdr(3), we
insert markers to track current position between relocks. The global
objects list is converted to tailq and all iterators skip markers,
globallist_next() and globallist_curr() helpers are added.

C runtime services, like printf(). Unfortunately, the multithread-safeness
measures in the libc do not work in rtld environment.
Rip the kernel printf() implementation and use it in the rtld instead of
libc version. This printf does not require any shared global data and thus
is mt-safe. Systematically use rtld_printf() and related functions, remove
the calls to err(3).
Note that stdio is still pulled from libc due to libmap implementaion using
fopen(). This is safe but unoptimal, and can be changed later.

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.
quite a few enhancements and bug fixes. There are still some known
deficiencies, but it should be adequate to get us started with ELF.
