The force_first parameter was ineffective because the dlclose'd
object was not necessarily the first in the maps array. Also
enable force_first handling unconditionally, regardless of namespace.
The initial object in a namespace should be destructed first, too.
The _dl_sort_maps_dfs function had early returns for relocation
dependency processing which broke force_first handling, too, and
this is fixed in this change as well.

This reverts commit 6985865bc3.
Reason for revert:
The commit changes the order of ELF destructor calls too much relative
to what applications expect or can handle. In particular, during
process exit and _dl_fini, after the revert commit, we no longer call
the destructors of the main program first; that only happens after
some dlopen'ed objects have been destructed. This robs applications
of an opportunity to influence destructor order by calling dlclose
explicitly from the main program's ELF destructors. A couple of
different approaches involving reverse constructor order were tried,
and none of them worked really well. It seems we need to keep the
dependency sorting in _dl_fini.
There is also an ambiguity regarding nested dlopen calls from ELF
constructors: Should those destructors run before or after the object
that called dlopen? Commit 6985865bc3 used reverse order
of the start of ELF constructor calls for destructors, but arguably
using completion of constructors is more correct. However, that alone
is not sufficient to address application compatibility issues (it
does not change _dl_fini ordering at all).
Compilation fails when building with -DNDEBUG after commit a3189f66a5.
Here is the error:
dl-close.c: In function ‘_dl_close_worker’:

The current implementation of dlclose (and process exit) re-sorts the
link maps before calling ELF destructors. Destructor order is not the
reverse of the constructor order as a result: The second sort takes
relocation dependencies into account, and other differences can result
from ambiguous inputs, such as cycles. (The force_first handling in
_dl_sort_maps is not effective for dlclose.) After the changes in
this commit, there is still a required difference due to
dlopen/dlclose ordering by the application, but the previous
discrepancies went beyond that.
A new global (namespace-spanning) list of link maps,
_dl_init_called_list, is updated right before ELF constructors are
called from _dl_init.
In dl_close_worker, the maps variable, an on-stack variable length
array, is eliminated. (VLAs are problematic, and dlclose should not
call malloc because it cannot readily deal with malloc failure.)
Marking still-used objects uses the namespace list directly, with
next and next_idx replacing the done_index variable.
After marking, _dl_init_called_list is used to call the destructors
of now-unused maps in reverse destructor order. These destructors
can call dlopen. Previously, new objects do not have l_map_used set.
This had to change: There is no copy of the link map list anymore,
so processing would cover newly opened (and unmarked) mappings,
unloading them. Now, _dl_init (indirectly) sets l_map_used, too.
(dlclose is handled by the existing reentrancy guard.)
After _dl_init_called_list traversal, two more loops follow. The
processing order changes to the original link map order in the
namespace. Previously, dependency order was used. The difference
should not matter because relocation dependencies could already
reorder link maps in the old code.
The changes to _dl_fini remove the sorting step and replace it with
a traversal of _dl_init_called_list. The l_direct_opencount
decrement outside the loader lock is removed because it appears
incorrect: the counter manipulation could race with other dynamic
loader operations.
tst-audit23 needs adjustments to the changes in LA_ACT_DELETE
notifications. The new approach for checking la_activity should
make it clearer that la_activty calls come in pairs around namespace
updates.
The dependency sorting test cases need updates because the destructor
order is always the opposite order of constructor order, even with
relocation dependencies or cycles present.
There is a future cleanup opportunity to remove the now-constant
force_first and for_fini arguments from the _dl_sort_maps function.
Fixes commit 1df71d32fe ("elf: Implement
force_first handling in _dl_sort_maps_dfs (bug 28937)").

In short: __tls_get_addr checks the global generation counter and if
the current dtv is older then _dl_update_slotinfo updates dtv up to the
generation of the accessed module. So if the global generation is newer
than generation of the module then __tls_get_addr keeps hitting the
slow dtv update path. The dtv update path includes a number of checks
to see if any update is needed and this already causes measurable tls
access slow down after dlopen.
It may be possible to detect up-to-date dtv faster. But if there are
many modules loaded (> TLS_SLOTINFO_SURPLUS) then this requires at
least walking the slotinfo list.
This patch tries to update the dtv to the global generation instead, so
after a dlopen the tls access slow path is only hit once. The modules
with larger generation than the accessed one were not necessarily
synchronized before, so additional synchronization is needed.
This patch uses acquire/release synchronization when accessing the
generation counter.
Note: in the x86_64 version of dl-tls.c the generation is only loaded
once, since relaxed mo is not faster than acquire mo load.
I have not benchmarked this. Tested by Adhemerval Zanella on aarch64,

It can be used to speed up the libgcc unwinder, and the internal
_dl_find_dso_for_object function (which is used for caller
identification in dlopen and related functions, and in dladdr).
_dl_find_object is in the internal namespace due to bug 28503.
If libgcc switches to _dl_find_object, this namespace issue will
be fixed. It is located in libc for two reasons: it is necessary
to forward the call to the static libc after static dlopen, and
there is a link ordering issue with -static-libgcc and libgcc_eh.a
because libc.so is not a linker script that includes ld.so in the
glibc build tree (so that GCC's internal -lc after libgcc_eh.a does
not pick up ld.so).

This second patch contains the actual implementation of a new sorting algorithm
for shared objects in the dynamic loader, which solves the slow behavior that
the current "old" algorithm falls into when the DSO set contains circular
dependencies.
The new algorithm implemented here is simply depth-first search (DFS) to obtain
the Reverse-Post Order (RPO) sequence, a topological sort. A new l_visited:1
bitfield is added to struct link_map to more elegantly facilitate such a search.
The DFS algorithm is applied to the input maps[nmap-1] backwards towards
maps[0]. This has the effect of a more "shallow" recursion depth in general
since the input is in BFS. Also, when combined with the natural order of
processing l_initfini[] at each node, this creates a resulting output sorting
closer to the intuitive "left-to-right" order in most cases.
Another notable implementation adjustment related to this _dl_sort_maps change
is the removing of two char arrays 'used' and 'done' in _dl_close_worker to
represent two per-map attributes. This has been changed to simply use two new
bit-fields l_map_used:1, l_map_done:1 added to struct link_map. This also allows
discarding the clunky 'used' array sorting that _dl_sort_maps had to sometimes
do along the way.
Tunable support for switching between different sorting algorithms at runtime is
also added. A new tunable 'glibc.rtld.dynamic_sort' with current valid values 1
(old algorithm) and 2 (new DFS algorithm) has been added. At time of commit
of this patch, the default setting is 1 (old algorithm).

The fix for bug 19329 caused a regression such that pthread_create can
deadlock when concurrent ctors from dlopen are waiting for it to finish.
Use a new GL(dl_load_tls_lock) in pthread_create that is not taken
around ctors in dlopen.
The new lock is also used in __tls_get_addr instead of GL(dl_load_lock).
The new lock is held in _dl_open_worker and _dl_close_worker around
most of the logic before/after the init/fini routines. When init/fini
routines are running then TLS is in a consistent, usable state.
In _dl_open_worker the new lock requires catching and reraising dlopen
failures that happen in the critical section.
The new lock is reinitialized in a fork child, to keep the existing
behaviour and it is kept recursive in case malloc interposition or TLS
access from signal handlers can retake it. It is not obvious if this
is necessary or helps, but avoids changing the preexisting behaviour.
The new lock may be more appropriate for dl_iterate_phdr too than
GL(dl_load_write_lock), since TLS state of an incompletely loaded
module may be accessed. If the new lock can replace the old one,
that can be a separate change.

Revert "elf: Fix DTV gap reuse logic [BZ #27135]"
This reverts commit 572bd547d5.
It turns out that the _dl_next_tls_modid in _dl_map_object_from_fd keeps
returning the same modid over and over again if there is a gap and
more than TLS-using module is loaded in one dlopen call. This corrupts
TLS data structures. The bug is still present after a revert, but
empirically it is much more difficult to trigger (because it involves a
dlopen failure).
For some reason only dlopen failure caused dtv gaps to be reused.
It is possible that the intent was to never reuse modids for a
different module, but after dlopen failure all gaps are reused
not just the ones caused by the unfinished dlopened.
So the code has to handle reused modids already which seems to
work, however the data races at thread creation and tls access
(see bug 19329 and bug 27111) may be more severe if slots are
reused so this is scheduled after those fixes. I think fixing
the races are not simpler if reuse is disallowed and reuse has
other benefits, so set GL(dl_tls_dtv_gaps) whenever entries are
removed from the middle of the slotinfo list. The value does
not have to be correct: incorrect true value causes the next
modid query to do a slotinfo walk, incorrect false will leave
gaps and new entries are added at the end.

This is a follow up patch to the fix for bug 19329. This adds relaxed
MO atomics to accesses that were previously data races but are now

The race conditions all follow the pattern that the write is behind the
dlopen lock, but a read can happen concurrently (e.g. during tls access)
without holding the lock. For slotinfo entries the read value only
matters if it reads from a synchronized write in dlopen or dlclose,
otherwise the related dtv entry is not valid to access so it is fine
to leave it in an inconsistent state. The same applies for
GL(dl_tls_max_dtv_idx) and GL(dl_tls_generation), but there the
algorithm relies on the fact that the read of the last synchronized
write is an increasing value.

Commit a2e8aa0d9e ("Block signals during

read-modify-write operations like the one in add_dependency in
elf/dl-lookup.c. In the old code, we check for any kind of NODELETE
status and bail out:
/* Redo the NODELETE check, as when dl_load_lock wasn't held
yet this could have changed. */
if (map->l_nodelete != link_map_nodelete_inactive)
goto out;
And then set pending status (during relocation):
if (flags & DL_LOOKUP_FOR_RELOCATE)
map->l_nodelete = link_map_nodelete_pending;
else
map->l_nodelete = link_map_nodelete_active;
If a signal arrives during relocation and the signal handler, through
lazy binding, adds a global scope dependency on the same map, it will
set map->l_nodelete to link_map_nodelete_active. This will be
overwritten with link_map_nodelete_pending by the dlopen relocation
code.
To avoid such problems in relation to the l_nodelete member, this
commit introduces two flags for active NODELETE status (irrevocable)
and pending NODELETE status (revocable until activate_nodelete is
invoked). As a result, NODELETE processing in dlopen does not
introduce further reasons why lazy binding from signal handlers
is unsafe during dlopen, and a subsequent commit can remove signal
blocking from dlopen.
This does not address pre-existing issues (unrelated to the NODELETE
changes) which make lazy binding in a signal handler during dlopen
unsafe, such as the use of malloc in both cases.

If a lazy binding failure happens during the execution of an ELF
constructor or destructor, the dynamic loader catches the error
and reports it using the dlerror mechanism. This is undesirable
because there could be other constructors and destructors that
need processing (which are skipped), and the process is in an
inconsistent state at this point. Therefore, we have to issue
a fatal dynamic loader error error and terminate the process.
Note that the _dl_catch_exception in _dl_open is just an inner catch,
to roll back some state locally. If called from dlopen, there is
still an outer catch, which is why calling _dl_init via call_dl_init
and a no-exception is required and cannot be avoiding by moving the
_dl_init call directly into _dl_open.
_dl_fini does not need changes because it does not install an error
handler, so errors are already fatal there.

the flag could have been set by other means too.
This patch replaces this use of the flag by using l_tls_dtor_count
directly to determine whether it is safe to unload the object. This
change has the added advantage of eliminating the lock taking when
calling the destructors, which could result in a deadlock. The patch
also fixes the test case tst-tls-atexit - it was making an invalid
dlclose call, which would just return an error silently.

GL(dl_ns)[LM_ID_BASE]._ns_loaded is now always initialized in static
executables so can become the fallback loader map to check for
DF_1_NODEFLIB, provided that the l_flags_1 member of the main map has
been properly initialized (done in elf/dl-support.c now); this also

On hppa and ia64, the macro DL_AUTO_FUNCTION_ADDRESS() uses the

The content of fptr[] is thus undefined right after the macro exits.
Newer gcc's (>= 4.7) reuse the stack space of this variable triggering
a segmentation fault in dl-init.c:69.
To fix this we rewrite the macros to make the call directly to init
and fini without needing to pass back a constructed function pointer.
The algorithm for scanning dependencies upon dlclose is
less than immediately obvious. This patch adds two bits
of comments that explain why you start the dependency
search at l_initfini[1], and why you need to restart
