3f47c82a7f Fix a bug in the handling of minor version numbers. Formerly, the
rtld would accept the first shared library it found with the right
major version number, even if the minor version number was too low.
If a different version of the shared library with an adequate minor
version number appeared later in the search path, it would not be
found.

Now the rtld searches all locations first looking for a library
with a minor version that is high enough.  Only if such a library
is not found will it fall back to accepting a minor version number
that is too low.  As before, a warning comes out in that case.

This solves some problems encountered when building an older world
on a -current system.

a3bd401942 Don't recognize a file as an a.out shared library unless it has at
least 2 version numbers.  This fixes the bug where the dynamic
linker would try to load an ELF shared library if it found one.

Note, this change also fixes the same thing in "ld", because the
code is shared.

For "ld" there is still a problem with ".a" libraries, which cannot
be distinguished by name.  I haven't decided what, if anything, to
do about that.

166f84746d Pass me the pointy hat with the extra sequins. Just a moment, while I get
it to sit right...

The __error() hack gave out the wrong address.  It returned the address of
errno in ld.so instead of the address of errno in the main program.  Oops.

The hack is now correct, just in time to be obsoleted by elf.

1188f66af7 Since I got no objections to this patch, and no one has offered any
alternative, I present .. ta! da! .. the __error() hack.

This patch to the a.out dynamic loader provides old a.out binaries
with __error() if they are linked with an older libc that lacks it,
but are also linked against a library that needs it.

There is a smaller, tricker hack that takes advantage of the fact
that ld.so has __error() too, courtesy of the new libc, but this
hack is the straightforward version.

cabb97dcbf ELF preparation step 2:
Move a.out libraries to /usr/lib/aout to make space for ELF libs.
Make rtld usr /usr/lib/aout as default library path.
Make ldconfig reject /usr/lib as an a.out library path.
Fix various Makefiles for LIBDIR!=/usr/lib breakage.

This will after a make world & reboot give a system that no
longer uses /usr/lib/*, infact one could remove all the old
libraries there, they are not used anymore.

We are getting close to an ELF make world, but I'll let this
all settle for a week or two...

6210388a93 Make emacs work again. This is a workaround for the fact that the
emacs a.out file, self-generated by emacs's "unexec" function in
"unexsunos4.c", is invalid.  In particular, its "_end" symbol has
the wrong value.  The dynamic linker was using the value of that
symbol to initialize its sbrk break level.

The workaround is to peek at the executable's a.out header in
memory, and calculate what "_end" should be based on the segment
sizes.

I will work out a fix for emacs and send it to the FSF.  This
dynamic linker workaround is still worthwhile, if only to avoid
forcing all emacs users to build a new version.

Note: xemacs gives a bogus warning at startup, for related reasons.
The warning is harmless and can safely be ignored.  I will send a
patch to the xemacs maintainers to get rid of it, and meanwhile
add a patch file to our port.

08bdd3d27d Get rid of the dynamic linker's internal malloc package, and arrange
things so that it uses the same malloc as is used by the program
being executed.  This has several advantages, the big one being
that you can now debug core dumps from dynamically linked programs
and get useful information out of them.  Until now, that didn't
work.  The internal malloc package placed the tables describing
the loaded shared libraries in a mapped region of high memory that
was not written to core files.  Thus the debugger had no way of
determining what was loaded where in memory.  Now that the dynamic
linker uses the application's malloc package (normally, but not
necessarily, the system malloc), its tables end up in the regular
heap area where they will be included in core dumps.  The debugger
now works very well indeed, thank you very much.

Also ...

Bring the program a little closer to conformance with style(9).
There is still a long way to go.

Add minimal const correctness changes to get rid of compiler warnings
caused by the recent const changes in <dlfcn.h> and <link.h>.

Improve performance by eliminating redundant calculations of symbols'
hash values.

d030d2d2ae Many places in the code NULL is used in integer context, where
plain 0 should be used.  This happens to work because we #define
NULL to 0, but is stylistically wrong and can cause problems
for people trying to port bits of code to other environments.

9453d60b10 Fixed `make depend' and related bogons. LDFLAGS was used for
ld-specific flags.  LDFLAGS is really for ld-related flags for cc,
not for ld, and some flags, e.g., -Bshareable, mean completely
different things to cc and ld.  Having the wrong things in LDFLAGS
also broke the standard ${PROG} target.  This was kludged around
by using a special rule that depended on LDFLAGS being bogus.
Fixing `make depend' broke the special rule but fixed the standard
rule (except in the DESTDIR case, which was handled more strictly
here than elsewhere).

ac6c268b3d Pay attention to the environment variable "LD_IGNORE_MISSING_OBJECTS".
If it is set to a nonempty string, then simply skip any missing
shared libraries.  This came up in a discussion long ago as a
potentially useful feature at sysinstall time.  For example, an
X11 utility could be used without the X libraries being present,
provided the utility had a mode in which no X functions were actually
called.

0db65949ae Add support for the LD_BIND_NOW environment variable. If it is set to a
nonempty string, then function calls are relocated at program start-up
rather than lazily.  This variable is standard on Sun and SVR4 systems.

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.

ab6c6377b3 If errors occur during the loading of the shared libraries required by
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.

5584286a91 Update to handle new version ld.so.hints and info in executable for
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.

1dd43c183e When checking to see whether a needed shared library has already
been loaded, look for a match by device and inode number if the
traditional pathname comparisons don't find a match.  This detects
the case in which a library is requested using two different names
which are really links to the same file, and avoids loading it
twice.

5a81ed9667 This release is a moderate restructuring of the dynamic linker.
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.
