locking functions. If an application loads a shared object with
dlopen() and the shared object has an init function which requires
lazy binding, then _rtld_bind is called when the thread is already
inside the dynamic linker. This leads to a recursive acquisition
of the lock, which I was not expecting -- hence the assert failure.
This work-around makes the default locking functions handle recursive
locking. It is NOT the correct fix -- that should be implemented
at the generic locking level rather than in the default locking
functions. I will implement the correct fix in a future commit.
Since the dllockinit() interface will likely need to change, warn

functions to be used by the dynamic linker. This can be called by
threads packages at start-up time. I will add the call to libc_r
soon.
Also add a default locking method that is used up until dllockinit()
is called. The default method works by blocking SIGVTALRM, SIGPROF,
and SIGALRM in critical sections. It is based on the observation
that most user-space threads packages implement thread preemption
with one of these signals (usually SIGVTALRM).
The dynamic linker has never been reentrant, but it became less
reentrant in revision 1.34 of "src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c".
Starting with that revision, multiple threads each doing lazy
binding could interfere with each other. The usual symptom was
that a symbol was falsely reported as undefined at start-up time.

bptypes.h originally defined int32 to be of type long. This obviously
doesn't work on the Alpha. By defining int32 (and u_int32) in terms of
int32_t (and u_int32_t) it now is what it says it should be.
Two occurrences of 'unsigned int32' have been changed to 'u_int32' for
consistency.

libjava peeks into the dynamic linker's private Obj_Entry structures.
My recent changes introduced some new members near the front of
the structures, causing libjava to get the wrong fields. This commit
moves the new members toward the end of the structure so that the
layout of the portion that is relevant to JDK remains the same as
before.
I will work with the JDK porting team to see if we can come up with
a less fragile way for them to do what they need to do. I understand
the current approach was necessary in order to work around some
limitations of the dynamic linker. Maybe it's not necessary any
more.

loaded separately by dlopen that have global symbols with identical
names. Viewing each dlopened object as a DAG which is linked by its
DT_NEEDED entries in the dynamic table, the search order is as
follows:
* If the referencing object was linked with -Bsymbolic, search it
internally.
* Search all dlopened DAGs containing the referencing object.
* Search all objects loaded at program start up.
* Search all objects which were dlopened() using the RTLD_GLOBAL
flag (which is now supported too).
The search terminates as soon as a strong definition is found.
Lacking that, the first weak definition is used.
These rules match those of Solaris, as best I could determine them
from its vague manual pages and the results of experiments I performed.

discovered by Hidetoshi Shimokawa. Large programs need multiple
GOTs. The lazy binding stub in the PLT can be reached from any of
these GOTs, but the dynamic linker only has enough information to
fix up the first GOT entry. Thus calls through the other GOTs went
through the time-consuming lazy binding process on every call.
This fix rewrites the PLT entries themselves to bypass the lazy
binding.
Tested by Hidetoshi Shimokawa and Steve Price.

dynamic linker as an executable should make it start up faster,
because it won't have any relocations. But in practice I suspect
the difference is negligible.

There's not much point in having uucpd behave differently than

on rshd and rlogind. However, note that:
1: rshd used to drop a connection with -a if the hostname != ip address.
This is unneeded, because iruserok() does it's own checking.
It was also wrong if .rhosts had an explicit IP address in it,
connections would be dropped from that host solely because the DNS was
mismatched even though it was explicitly intended to work by IP address.
2: rlogind and rshd check the hostname mappings by default now because that
is what goes into the utmp/wtmp and logs. If the hostname != ip address,
then it uses the IP address for logging/utmp/wtmp purposes. There isn't
much point logging ficticious hostnames.
3: rshd -a is now accepted (but ignored) for compatability. If you really
want to make life miserable for people with bad reverse DNS, use tcpd in

rtld would accept the first shared library it found with the right
major version number, even if the minor version number was too low.
If a different version of the shared library with an adequate minor
version number appeared later in the search path, it would not be
found.
Now the rtld searches all locations first looking for a library
with a minor version that is high enough. Only if such a library
is not found will it fall back to accepting a minor version number
that is too low. As before, a warning comes out in that case.
This solves some problems encountered when building an older world
on a -current system.
