2010-09-17ldso: Add runtime prelink supportFilippo Arcidiacono
Added runtime prelink support to be able to run a prelinked application; at process startup only the conflicts will be relocated. This speed up the startup time. Signed-off-by: Filippo Arcidiacono <filippo.arcidiacono@st.com> Signed-off-by: Carmelo Amoroso <carmelo.amoroso@st.com>
2010-09-17ldso: Rework global scope handling and symbol lookup mechanismFilippo Arcidiacono
Global symbol scope is implemented as a linked list of local scope, that dynamically grows and shrinks when dlopen/ dlclose are called. Each local scope is implemented as an array of pointer to struct elf_resolve. This will help to detect conflict when LD_TRACE_PRELINKING option will be implemented.

2010-09-17ldso: Add implementation of ld.so standalone executionFilippo Arcidiacono
The dynamic linker can be run either indirectly through running some dynamically linked program or library (in which case no command line options to the dynamic linker can be passed and, in the ELF case, the dynamic linker which is stored in the .interp section of the program is executed) or directly by running: /lib/ld-uClibc.so.* [OPTIONS] [PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS]] Stand-alone execution is a prerequisite for adding prelink capabilities to uClibc dynamic linker, as well useful for testing an updated version of the dynamic linker without breaking the whole system. Currently supported option: --library-path PATH use given PATH instead of content of the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Mandatory for prelinking) Not supported options: --list list all dependencies and how they are resolved --verify verify that given object really is a dynamically linked object we can handle --inhibit-rpath LIST ignore RUNPATH and RPATH information in object names in LIST This feature can be enabled by setting LDSO_STANDALONE_SUPPORT=y Signed-off-by: Filippo Arcidiacono <filippo.arcidiacono@st.com> Signed-off-by: Carmelo Amoroso <carmelo.amoroso@st.com>

2010-04-22ldso: support RTLD_NODELETE and DF_1_NODELETETimo Teräs
Honor the nodelete flags so we don't delete shared library if it's sticky. This is useful for libpthread if it gets pulled in by a dlopen'ed library. Signed-off-by: Timo Teräs <timo.teras@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Austin Foxley <austinf@cetoncorp.com>

2007-12-03Blackfin FD-PIC patch 3/6.Bernd Schmidt
Change _dl_find_hash to _dl_lookup_hash, as on the NPTL branch. _dl_find_hash is now a wrapper function around it; unlike on the NPTL branch, it retains the old interface so that not all callers need to be changed. _dl_lookup_hash can optionally give its caller a pointer to the module where the symbol was found. Introduce ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_DLSYM for lookups from libdl. Spelling fixes in the Blackfin port, since Alex Oliva's original version of these patches used _dl_find_hash_mod as the name of the function rather than _dl_lookup_hash.

2005-06-01Initial support for both RUNPATH support.Joakim Tjernlund
RPATH sematics changed to match RUNPATH. Only difference is that RPATH is searched before LD_LIBRARY_PATH and RUNPATH after. This is not complete but better than the current mess(I think).
2005-03-29Moved the addition of load address from the fast pathJoakim Tjernlund
where possible. This will also make ldso smaller. However the patch touches all archs and I have only tested PPC and x86.
2004-11-02- Remove dynamic_size from struct elf_resolve.Joakim Tjernlund
- Replace all open coded dynamic handling with a function. Reduces size. - Fold special MIPS dynamic code into the dynamic_info item. - Add RELRO support. - Support linking with "-z now". - prepare for DT_RELACOUNT/DT_RELCOUNT optimization. - Add -z now to ld.so linking, this is what ld.so does anyway so let the linker know that.
2004-10-07Remove usage of _dl_parse_copy_information() from generic code.Joakim Tjernlund
Remove definition of _dl_parse_copy_information() for powerpc. Remaining archs can do the same. Make debugging output of "relocation processing: xxx" a bit more sane.
2004-10-06Puts common defines into dl-defs.h (in ldso/include) from dl-elf.h andJoakim Tjernlund
dl-cache.h and make use of it. Also disables the lib-path-redundancy check for the case the cache is not used. Makes use of _PRELOAD_FILE_SUPPORT. From Peter Mazinger.
2004-10-03This patch from Mike Frysinger, extended from an earlier patch from Peter S.Eric Andersen
Mazinger implements the changes suggested by me on the uclibc list.

2004-08-25Patch from Stefan Allius:Joakim Tjernlund
Remove unused function parameter in ldso. Remove echo option '-e' since it is not supported on Solaris.

2004-02-14Joakim Tjernlund writes:Eric Andersen
Hi it is me again. This is the latest ldso patch. the NEW weak symbol handling works now with a little special handling in _dl_find_hash(). You get to chose if you want the new or old handling :) There was 2 missing _dl_check_if_named_library_is_loaded() calls in _dlopen(). I then disabled the _dl_check_if_named_library_is_loaded() in dl-elf.c since it is rendundant. Question, why does some _dl_linux_resolver(), like i386, have 2 calls to _dl_find_hash()? I think that is wrong, isn't it? I really hope you can check this out soon ...
2004-02-10Rework file naming, aiming for at least a vague level of consistancyEric Andersen
2004-02-07Step one, begin shuffling things around a bitEric Andersen
2004-01-29Modify interfaces for _dl_parse_relocation_information()Eric Andersen
_dl_parse_lazy_relocation_information() and _dl_parse_copy_information() so they are all consistant, allowing for future consolidation. Trim some trailing whitespace as well.
2004-01-29Scrub up use of ELF_USES_RELOCA and eliminte some unsightly ifdefsEric Andersen
2004-01-29Eliminate separate passes for _dl_copy_fixups() and _dl_fixup(), andEric Andersen
do both operations in a single pass.
2003-11-04Rework the config system. Better utilize the Kconfig languageEric Andersen
which should simplify enabling arbitrary architectures. -Erik

2003-08-31Weed out duplicates before trying to load libraries.... DelayedEric Andersen
checking for duplicates and returning an alias if an existing lib is already loaded is still correct for the dlopen case.
