[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2376] (Closed) determine real cause of ldd crash

[John Marino via Redmine <bugtracker-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Issue #2376 has been updated by John Marino.

Status changed from New to Closed

RTLD was at fault after all.  The full object structure wasn't guaranteed to be fully allocated when it started digesting ELF notes.

FreeBSD hit the bug too (svn 239019)
Fixed here: http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/commitdiff/4db7b2663090f11386e806c421560a4d0923a7fb

Bug #2376: determine real cause of ldd crash
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2376

Author: John Marino
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal

Category: 
Target version: 


Problem: ldd core dumps in specific cases within RTLD

To reproduce:
> cd /usr/pkgsrc/audio/arts
> bmake install
> ldd /usr/pkg/bin/artswrapper

It dumps within rtld reading digest notes.  That's because the obj pointer has a null value even though it was just created (signal 11).

Trying to step through with gdb will result in a "signal 5", stopping at ldd.c line 205, right after a fork.

I need some help determining if the problem is ldd.c or something in the kernel.  I don't think rtld is really at fault here, although I'm not confident about the TLS/resident part.
