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.

With r169630 I disabled symbol versioning because it broke rtld. With
r211706 rtld got broken for ia64 & powerpc64. It was fixed for powerpc64
with r212497. In between, r211749 removed the exports table because the
version script handled the exports. But wait, symbol versioning was
disabled on ia64.
With exports controlled by the version script and symbol versioning
disabled, all symbols are exported and too many symbols bind to the
definition in rtld. Let's just say that waird things happen.
So, enable symbol versioning on ia64 and apply a work-around for the
SIGSEGV that triggered r169630 to begin with: when rtld relocates
itself, it comes across r_debug_state and for some reason can't find the
definition. This causes a failure, relocation aborts and null pointers
galore. The work-around is to ignore the missing definition when rtld
is relocating itself and keep going.
Maybe with the next binutils this will all go away. Maybe not, in
which case I still need to figure out why r_debug_state cannot be found.
BTW: r_debug_state is in the symbol map -- I don't think any other rtld
symbols that rtld references are in the symbol map...
and symbol map are required to support various consequences of the dot
symbol scheme:
- Symbols beginning with a dot are reserved, so start private symbols with
an underscore.
- In order to set RTLD breakpoints, gdb must be able to locate the text
entry point, not the data section function descriptor, so add
.r_debug_state to the symbol map on powerpc64.

Just like bin/ and sbin/, I think setting WARNS to the highest value
possible will make it more attractive for people to fix warnings.
- The WARNS variable is set in the Makefile in the directory of the
application itself, making it more likely that it will be removed out
of curiosity to see what happens.
- New applications will most likely build with WARNS=6 out of the box,
because the author would more likely fix the warnings during
development than lower WARNS.
Unfortunately almost all apps in libexec require a lowered value of
WARNS.

Use libssp_nonshared library to pull __stack_chk_fail_local symbol into
each library that needs it instead of pulling it from libc. GCC
generates local calls to this function which result in absolute
relocations put into position-independent code segment, making dynamic
loader do extra work every time given shared library is being relocated
and making affected text pages non-shareable.

- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

symbol lookup failures that later result in null-pointer
dereferences. This needs looking into, but since we're
close to release it's possible that it's not resolved before
that time.
Warning, after symbol versioning is enabled, going back is not easy
(use WITHOUT_SYMVER at your own risk).

There most likely still needs to be a version bump for at least the

In the old world (as the surrounding comment in makefile says), there
was the /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 binary which is now a symlink to
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1. To symlink, we need to make sure that the
_target_ (and the target is /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1) doesn't have
"schg" flag set. A real solution is to protect the chflags call only if
target exists, like we do in usr.bin/tip/tip/Makefile.

"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

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.

Eliminate an asm() statement for the i386.
Make the dynamic linker work if it is built as an executable instead
of as a shared library. See i386/Makefile.inc to find out how to
do it. Note, this change is not enabled and it might never be
enabled. But it might be useful in the future. Building the
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.
