rtld. When _DYNAMIC is referenced normally from C the global offset
table is used implicitly, but newer versions of binutils don't initialize
it statically in the binary, so this doesn't work until rtld is relocated,
which _DYNAMIC is needed for... So, as on other systems with the same
problem, we disassemble a call instruction to _DYNAMIC in order to get
its address.
Setting the LD_DUMP_REL_PRE or LD_DUMP_REL_POST environment variables
cause rtld-elf to output a table of all relocations.
This is useful for debugging.
While I'm here:
- Let lm_add() call strdup() on its own behalf.
- Use a temporary pointer when parsing constraints; only set the
constraint pointer on a totally successful match.

objects.
Programs such as sshd depend on two pointers to the same function being
equal in a given process. However, the current ia64 implementation
ensures that they're equal when both the pointers are instantiated in
the same ELF object. The attached patch ensures that they're equal
irrespective of where they're instantiated.

Introduce a new unlink_object() function and call it in
unload_object() instead. Removing the object in unref_dag() is
too early, rtld calls _fini() function after that and shared
objects might fail resolve their own symbols.
Introdice RTLD_SELF special handle and properly process it within
dlsym() and dlinfo() functions.
The intention is to improve our compatibility with Solaris and
to make a Java port easier.

remove RTLD_GLOBAL objects from global objects list;
remove the parent object from dldags list of its children.
Previosly we were doing that only to the top-level object OF the DAG
being unloaded and all its dependencies were ignored, leading to
mysterious crashes later.

skipping read-only pages, which can result in valuable non-text-related
data not getting dumped, the ELF loader and the dynamic loader now mark
read-only text pages NOCORE and the coredump code only checks (primarily) for
complete inaccessibility of the page or NOCORE being set.
Certain applications which map large amounts of read-only data will
produce much larger cores. A new sysctl has been added,
debug.elf_legacy_coredump, which will revert to the old behavior.
This commit represents collaborative work by all parties involved.
The PR contains a program demonstrating the problem.
