This patch moves the vDSO setup from libc to loader code, just after
the vDSO link_map setup. For static case the initialization
is moved to _dl_non_dynamic_init instead.
Instead of using the mangled pointer, the vDSO data is set as
attribute_relro (on _rtld_global_ro for shared or _dl_vdso_* for
static). It is read-only even with partial relro.
It fixes BZ#24967 now that the vDSO pointer is setup earlier than
malloc interposition is called.
Also, vDSO calls should not be a problem for static dlopen as
indicated by BZ#20802. The vDSO pointer would be zero-initialized
and the syscall will be issued instead.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu,
arm-linux-gnueabihf, powerpc64le-linux-gnu, powerpc64-linux-gnu,
powerpc-linux-gnu, s390x-linux-gnu, sparc64-linux-gnu, and
sparcv9-linux-gnu. I also run some tests on mips.
