It is no longer needed since commit 6c444ad6e9
(elf: Do not use memalign for TCB/TLS blocks allocation [BZ #17730]).
Applications do not link against ld.so and will use the definition in
libc.so, so there is no ABI impact.
This change moves the main implementation of _dl_catch_error,
_dl_signal_error to libc.so, where TLS variables can be used
directly. This removes a writable function pointer from the
rtld_global variable.
For use during initial relocation, minimal implementations of these
functions are provided in ld.so. These are eventually interposed
by the libc.so implementations. This is implemented by compiling
elf/dl-error-skeleton.c twice, via elf/dl-error.c and
elf/dl-error-minimal.c.
As a side effect of this change, the static version of dl-error.c
no longer includes support for the
_dl_signal_cerror/_dl_receive_error mechanism because it is only
used in ld.so.
on s390x the test elf/check-localplt is failing after recent commits:
"elf: Do not use memalign for TCB/TLS blocks allocation [BZ #17730]"
"elf: Avoid using memalign for TLS allocations [BZ #17730]"
"elf: dl-minimal malloc needs to respect fundamental alignment"
due to "Missing required PLT reference: ld.so: __libc_memalign".
After the commits __libc_memalign is only called in elf/dl-minimal.c in
malloc() function in ld.so and gcc -O2/-O3 leads to R_390_GLOB_DAT
instead of R_390_JMP_SLOT. __libc_memalign is called via
function-pointer loaded from GOT instead of calling via a plt-stub. In
this case there is the R_390_GLOB_DAT relocation in section .rela.dyn
instead of R_390_JMP_SLOT in .rela.plt.
This patch marks ld.so: __libc_memalign with R_390_GLOB_DAT in
localplt.data to allow both relocations.
If build with -fno-optimize-sibling-calls or on s390(31bit) a
R_390_JMP_SLOT is generated.
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/localplt.data: Mark
ld.so: __libc_memalign with "+ RELA R_390_GLOB_DAT".
For maximum paranoia we run ld.so through the normal set
of tests for all of the shared libraries. This includes
running ld.so through check-localplt, check-textrel, and
check-execstack. While none of these should trigger any
failures given the way ld.so is built, it might possibly
fail if a developer does something wrong. This paranoia
was triggered by a discussion over the use of __strcpy
vs. strcpy [1] and if the symbol could leak and use the
libc.so version.
The check-localplt test fails right away because localplt.data
needs updating for all arches. By default we add 6 new symbols:
__tls_get_addr, __libc_memalign, malloc, calloc, realloc and
free. Other machines like i386, power, and s390 require some
different symbol sets e.g. ___tls_get_addr vs. __tls_get_addr
for i386.
