Revert the optimization of using mprotect(2) to establish .bss, overlap the section with mmap(2). Reported by: attilio Reviewed by: attilio, emaste Approved by: re (bz) MFC after: 2 weeks

In rtld, read the initial stack access mode from AT_STACKPROT as set

by kernel, and parse PT_GNU_STACK phdr from linked and loaded dsos. If the loaded dso requires executable stack, as specified by PF_X bit of p_flags of PT_GNU_STACK phdr, but current stack protection does not permit execution, the __pthread_map_stacks_exec symbol is looked up and called. It should be implemented in libc or threading library and change the protection mode of all thread stacks to be executable. Provide a private interface _rtld_get_stack_prot() to export the stack access mode as calculated by rtld. Reviewed by: kan

Currently, when mapping an object, rtld reserves the whole address space

2009-04-10T10:14:04Z

for the mapping by the object' file with the protection and mode of the first loadable segment over the whole region. Then, it maps other segments at the appropriate addresses inside the region. On amd64, due to default alignment of the segments being 1Gb, the subsequent segment mappings leave the holes in the region, that usually contain mapping of the object' file past eof. Such mappings prevent wiring of the address space, because the pages cannot be faulted in. Change the way the mapping of the ELF objects is constructed, by first mapping PROT_NONE anonymous memory over the whole range, and then mapping the segments of the object over it. Take advantage of this new order and allocate .bss by changing the protection of the range instead of remapping. Note that we cannot simply keep the holes between segments, because other mappings may be made there. Among other issues, when the dso is unloaded, rtld unmaps the whole region, deleting unrelated mappings. The kernel ELF image activator does put the holes between segments, but this is not critical for now because kernel loads only executable image and interpreter, both cannot be unloaded. This will be fixed later, if needed. Reported and tested by: Hans Ottevanger Suggested and reviewed by: kan, alc

Enabling the substitution requires DF_ORIGIN flag in DT_FLAGS or DF_1_ORIGIN if DF_FLAGS_1, that may be set with -z origin gnu ld flag. Translation is unconditionally disabled for setuid/setgid processes. The $ORIGIN translation relies on the AT_EXECPATH auxinfo supplied by kernel.
