Formerly the init functions were called in the opposite of the
order in which libraries were loaded, and libraries were loaded
according to a breadth-first traversal of the dependency graph.
That ordering came from SVR4.0, and it was easy to implement but
not always sensible.
Now we do a depth-first walk over the dependency graph and call
the init functions in an order such that each shared object's needed
objects are initialized before the shared object itself. At the
same time we build a list of finalization (fini) functions in the
opposite order, to guarantee correct C++ destructor ordering whenever
possible. (It may not be possible if dlopen and dlclose are used
in strange ways, but we come as close as one can come.)
The need for this renovation has become apparent as more programs
have started using multithreading. The multithreaded C library
libc_r requires initialization, whereas the standard libc does not.
Since virtually every other object depends on the C library, it is
important that it get initialized first.
lock against themselves, causing infinite spinning. Brian Feldman
found this problem when testing with Mozilla and supplied the fix,
which I have revised slightly.
Here is the failure scenario. A thread calls dlopen() and acquires
the writer lock. While the thread still holds the lock, a signal
is delivered and caught. The signal handler tries to call a function
which hasn't been bound yet. It thus enters the dynamic linker
and tries to acquire the reader lock. Since the writer lock is
already held, it will spin forever in the signal handler. The
thread holding the lock won't be able to progress and release the
lock.
The solution is to block almost all signals while holding the
exclusive lock.
A similar problem could conceivably occur in the opposite order.
Namely, a thread is holding the reader lock and then a signal
handler calls dlopen() or dlclose() and spins waiting for the writer
lock. We deal with this administratively by proclaiming that signal
handlers aren't allowed to call dlopen() or dlclose(). Actually
we don't have to proclaim a thing, since signal handlers aren't
allowed to call any system functions except those which are explicitly
permitted.

and for all (I hope). Packages such as wine, JDK, and linuxthreads
should no longer have any problems with re-entering the dynamic
linker.
This commit replaces the locking used in the dynamic linker with a
new spinlock-based reader/writer lock implementation. Brian
Fundakowski Feldman <green> argued for this from the very beginning,
but it took me a long time to come around to his point of view.
Spinlocks are the only kinds of locks that work with all thread
packages. But on uniprocessor systems they can be inefficient,
because while a contender for the lock is spinning the holder of the
lock cannot make any progress toward releasing it. To alleviate
this disadvantage I have borrowed a trick from Sleepycat's Berkeley
DB implementation. When spinning for a lock, the requester does a
nanosleep() call for 1 usec. each time around the loop. This will
generally yield the CPU to other threads, allowing the lock holder
to finish its business and release the lock. I chose 1 usec. as the
minimum sleep which would with reasonable certainty not be rounded
down to 0.
The formerly machine-independent file "lockdflt.c" has been moved
into the architecture-specific subdirectories by repository copy.
It now contains the machine-dependent spinlocking code. For the
spinlocks I used the very nifty "simple, non-scalable reader-preference
lock" which I found at
<http://www.cs.rochester.edu/u/scott/synchronization/pseudocode/rw.html>
on all CPUs except the 80386 (the specific CPU model, not the
architecture). The 80386 CPU doesn't support the necessary "cmpxchg"
instruction, so on that CPU a simple exclusive test-and-set lock
is used instead. 80386 CPUs are detected at initialization time by
trying to execute "cmpxchg" and catching the resulting SIGILL
signal.
To reduce contention for the locks, I have revamped a couple of
key data structures, permitting all common operations to be done
under non-exclusive (reader) locking. The only operations that
require exclusive locking now are the rare intrusive operations
such as dlopen() and dlclose().
The dllockinit() interface is now deprecated. It still exists,
but only as a do-nothing stub. I plan to remove it as soon as is
reasonably possible. (From the very beginning it was clearly
labeled as experimental and subject to change.) As far as I know,
only the linuxthreads port uses dllockinit(). This interface turned
out to have several problems. As one example, when the dynamic
linker called a client-supplied locking function, that function
sometimes needed lazy binding, causing re-entry into the dynamic
linker and a big looping mess. And in any case, it turned out to be
too burdensome to require threads packages to register themselves
with the dynamic linker.
"ld-elf.so.1.old". The dynamic linker is a critical component of
the system, and it is difficult to recover if it is damaged and
there isn't a working backup available. For instance, parts of
the toolchain such as the assembler are dynamically linked, making
it impossible to build a new dynamic linker if the installed one
doesn't work.

interface, and statically link them to the programs using them.
These functions, upon reflection and discussion, are too generically
named for a library interface with such specific functionality.
Also the api that they use, whilst ok for private use, isn't good
enough for a libc function.
Additionally there were complications with the build/install-world
process. It depends heavily upon xinstall, which got broken by
the change in api, and caused bootstrap problems and general mayhem.
There is work in progress to address future problems that may be
caused by changes in install-chain tools, and better names for
{g|s}etflags can be derived when some future program requires them.
For now the code has been left in src/lib/libc/gen (it started off
in src/bin/ls).
It's important to provide library functions for manipulating file
flag strings if we ever want this interface to be adopted outside
of the source tree, but now isn't necessarily the right moment
with 4.0-release just around the corner.

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.

Also add a default locking method that is used up until dllockinit()

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.

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.

rtld would accept the first shared library it found with the right

If a different version of the shared library with an adequate minor

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.
