The dlopen() function now supports both lazy and immediate binding, as determined by its "mode" argument, which can be either 1 (RTLD_LAZY) or 2 (RTLD_NOW). I will add defines of these symbols to <dlfcn.h> as soon as I've done a little more checking to make sure they won't cause collisions or bootstrapping problems that would break "make world". The "LD_*" environment variables which alter dynamic linker behavior are now treated as unset if they are set to the empty string. This agrees with the standard SVR4 conventions for the dynamic linker. Add a work-around for programs compiled with certain buggy versions of crt0.o. The buggy versions failed to set the "crt_ldso" member of the interface structure. This caused certain error messages from the dynamic linker to begin with "(null)" instead of the pathname of the dynamic linker.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | the main program, report them directly from the dynamic linker and die there, rather than returning an error message to crt0.o. This enables the printing of error messages even for old executables, whose version of crt0.o is not able to print them. This fix closes PR bin/1869. The code in crt0.o for printing error messages from the dynamic linker is no longer used, because of this change. But it must remain, for backward compatibility with older dynamic linkers.

* Update to handle new version ld.so.hints and info in executable forpeter1996-10-014-62/+331
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | configurable fallback search paths, as well as new crt interface version. Also: - even faster getenv(), get all environment variable settings in a single pass. - ldd printf-like format specifications - minor code cleanups, one vsprintf -> vsnprintf (harmless) The library search sequence is a little more complete now. Before, it'd search $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (by opendir/readdir/closedir), then read the hints file, then read /usr/lib (again by scanning thr directory). It would then fail if there was no "found" library. Now, it does LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the hints file the same, but then uses a longer fallback path. The -R path is fetched from the executable if specified at build time, the ldconfig path is appended, and /usr/lib is appended to that. Duplicates are suppressed. This means that simply placing a new library in /usr/local/lib will work (the same as it did in /usr/lib) without needing ldconfig -m. It will find it quicker if the ldconfig is run though. Similar changes have been made to the NetBSD ld.so, but ours is rather different now due to John Polstra's speedups and fixes from a while back. The ldd printf-like format support came direct from NetBSD. Reviewed by: nate, jdp

* This release is a moderate restructuring of the dynamic linker.jdp1996-01-131-592/+605
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It addresses a number of problems that were present in earlier versions. The calls to the "init" and "fini" functions of shared libraries have been reordered, so that they are called in a strictly nested fashion, as is required for C++ constructors and destructors. In addition, the "init" functions are called in better order relative to each other. That makes the system more tolerant of C++ programs which depend on a library's being initialized before its clients. The dynamic linker is now more tolerant of shared libraries in which dependencies on other shared libraries are incompletely recorded. Cleanup in the event of errors has been improved throughout the dynamic linker. A number of memory leaks were eliminated. The warning message for a shared library whose minor version number is too old has been clarified. The code dealing with the "ld.so.hints" file has been cleaned up. A bug that caused the hints file to be unmapped incompletely has been fixed. A different bug that could potentially cause the hints file to be mapped on top of a loaded object has been fixed. The code that searches for shared libraries has been cleaned up. The searching is now more compatible with that done by SunOS and SVR4. Also, some unnecessary and useless searches of both the hints file and library directories have been eliminated. Reviewed by: nate@freebsd.org

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vector. Now it is called the "symbol caching" vector. This was made possible and unconfusing by other changes that allowed me to localize everything having to do with the caching vector in the function reloc_map(). Switched to alloca() for allocating the caching vector, and eliminated the special mmap-based allocation routines. Although this was motivated by performance reasons, it led to significant simplification of the code, and made it possible to confine the symbol caching code to the single function reloc_map(). Got rid of the unnecessary and inefficient division loop at the beginning of rtld(). Reduced the number of calls to getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH") to just 1, on suggestion from <davidg@root.com>. Added breaks out of the relocation loops when the relocation address is found to be 0. A relocation address of 0 is caused by an unused relocation entry. Unused relocation entries are caused by linking a shared object with the "-Bsymbolic" switch. The runtime linker itself is linked that way, and the last 40% of its relocation entries are unused. Thus, breaking out of the loop on the first such entry is a performance win when ld.so relocates itself. As a side benefit, it permits removing a test from md_relocate_simple() in ../i386/md-static-funcs.c. Unused relocation entries in other shared objects (linked with "-Bsymbolic") caused even bigger problems in previous versions of the runtime linker. The runtime linker interpreted the unused entries as if they were valid. That caused it to perform repeated relocations of the first byte of the shared object. In order to do that, it had to remap the text segment writable. Breaking out of the loop on the first unused relocation entry solves that. Submitted by: John Polstra <jdp@polstra.com>
* Run-time linker speedups - Round Onenate1995-10-251-3/+170
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implemented symbol memorizing to reduce the number of calls to lookup(), making relocation go faster. While relocating a given shared object, the dynamic linker maintains a memorizing vector that is directly indexed by the symbol number in the relocation entry. The first time a given symbol is looked up, the memorizing vector is filled in with a pointer to the symbol table entry, and a pointer to the so_map of the shared object in which the symbol was defined. On subsequent uses of the same symbol, that information is retrieved directly from the memorizing vector, without calling lookup() again. A symbol that is referenced in a relocation entry is typically referenced in many relocation entries, so this memorizing reduces the number of calls to lookup() dramatically. The overall improvement in the speed of dynamic linking is also dramatic -- as much as a factor of three for programs that use many shared libaries. Submitted by: jdp@polstra.com "John Polstra"

Change interpretation of dlopen manpage to call _init() rather than init() for dlopened objects. Change c++rt0.o to avoid using atexit to call destructors, allowing dlclose to call destructors when an object is unloaded. Change interface between crt0 and ld.so to allow crt0 to call a function on exit to call destructors for shared libraries explicitly. These changes are backwards compatible. Old binaries will work with the new ld.so and new binaries will work with the old ld.so. A version number has been introduced in the crt0-ld.so interface to allow for future changes.
