[RFA/hpux] SEGV when running program using dlopen


This is on HP/UX 11.00.

Compile the following little program:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <dl.h>
    
    int
    main (void)
    {
      void * o = shl_load ("/usr/lib/libnss_files.1", BIND_IMMEDIATE, 0L);
    
      printf ("Got o = %p\n", o);
    
      shl_unload (o);
    
      return 0;
    }

With this command:

        % gcc -g -o dl dl.c /opt/langtools/lib/end.o

Now try to run the program under the debugger:

        % gdb dl
        (gdb) run
        Starting program: /[...]/dl

        Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
        0xc08ee090 in ?? ()

The expected behavior is:

        (gdb) run
        Starting program: /[...]/dl 
        Got o = 7b03d180
        
        Program exited normally.

The problem is in solib-som.c:som_solib_create_inferior_hook(): We're
looking up the address of __d_trap, and end up finding the address of
the function. But we need the stub, not the function. So we have the
following code that tries to do that:

  /* Grrr, this might not be an export symbol!  We have to find the
     export stub.  */
  ALL_OBJFILES (objfile)
  {
    struct unwind_table_entry *u;
    struct minimal_symbol *msymbol2;

    /* What a crock.  */
    msymbol2 =
      lookup_minimal_symbol_solib_trampoline (SYMBOL_LINKAGE_NAME (msymbol),
                                              objfile);
    /* Found a symbol with the right name.  */
    if (msymbol2)
      {
        struct unwind_table_entry *u;
        /* It must be a shared library trampoline.  */
        if (SYMBOL_TYPE (msymbol2) != mst_solib_trampoline)
          continue;

        /* It must also be an export stub.  */
        u = find_unwind_entry (SYMBOL_VALUE (msymbol2));
        if (!u || u->stub_unwind.stub_type != EXPORT)
          continue;

        /* OK.  Looks like the correct import stub.  */
        anaddr = SYMBOL_VALUE (msymbol2);
        dld_cache.hook_stub.address = anaddr;
      }
  }

Unfortunately for us, that doesnt' work for __d_trap, as that symbol
lives in crt0. So lookup_minimal_symbol_solib_trampoline never returns
any match, and we end up stuck with the non-stub address.

I replaced the above block by a simply ALL_MSYMBOLS loop that simply
matches the msymbol name before checking for the associated stub type.
That fixes the problem.

        * solib-som.c (som_solib_create_inferior_hook): Extend stub
        msymbol search to all objfiles, not just shared libraries.

Tested on HP/UX 11.00, no regression.
OK to commit?

Thanks,
