Correct a bug when remapping textrel segments on nommu
From: Alan Davis <adavis@ti.com> On C6X, when trying to execute a program that has a textrel DSO, it fails to load. The telltale line in the LD_DEBUG output is: _dl_get_ready_to_run:779: file=''; needed by './a.out' The corresponding DT_NEEDED entry has 'libc.so.0', but here the filename is empty. This is what is happening in _dl_elf_shared_library(): First, map all segments according to their permissions. Text gets initially mapped read-only. Then, parse the dynamic information. The dynamic table is in RW but some of the tags may point to RO. For example, DT_NEEDED points to a string in .dynstr which is in RO. These pointers get computed according to the loadmap from the original mapping. Then, in response to a DT_TEXTREL tag, the RO segment gets remapped, thereby invaliding anything that points to it, in particular certain dynamic tags such as DT_NEEDED. The following patch re-parses the dynamic info after the remapping so as to re-compute any invalid pointers.
