Subject: Re: PATCH: dl_iterate_phdr()
Thanks for the review! To clarify, I meant that the patch is public
domain. This version implements most of your changes and attempts
support for dlopen()'d libraries and vdso.
Some questions:
1.) I guarded link.h with _GNU_SOURCE or _BSD_SOURCE; I'm unclear on
whether this is necessary since it isn't a standard header, so please
let me know your preference.
2.) I'm unsure of how to replace ElfW(Phdr) in dl_phdr_info - or did
you mean that musl should internally use some opaque type for
dl_phdr_info? Also, should ElfW() go in elf.h?
3.) The attached dltest.c reveals a problem with dlopen()'d libraries
which seems to be related to the locking strategy (see output below).
If I don't take the lock and check for current == saved_tail, it
"fixes" the example. At the least, I think this reveals a flaw with
dlopen("foo", RTLD_NOW) - shouldn't it hold the lock until the dso
list has been updated?
This function is used by libunwind and (I think) libgcc_eh for C++
exception support, and it's possible that additional fields in
dl_phdr_info will be necessary in order for those to work unmodified
with musl. I'll look into this today and come up with more tests.
Solaris and FreeBSD, at least, have these appended to struct
dl_phdr_info:
unsigned long long int dlpi_adds; /* total # of loads */
unsigned long long int dlpi_subs; /* total # of unloads */
The dl_iterate_phdr() callback is passed a size arg, and the callback
is responsible for checking the size to ensure that the additional
fields are present. Don't shoot the messenger! :)
