So, instead, we'll use a # program which doesn't even pretend to implement this functionality, # but which will instead be invoked in the same fashion (for ELF # binaries anyway) as would be expected for an ELF-based RTLD. # # To that end, we have two programs, one which will pretend to be an # RTLD and the other which will be caused to use the pretend RTLD. # # When the main program is run, the pretend/fake RTLD is run instead, # due to it being specified as the ELF interpreter for the main # program. Within GDB, we then attempt to do some simple debugging # involving 'step', 'next', and 'finish'. # This test can't be run on targets lacking shared library support # or for non-ELF targets. (We're not really testing or building # shared libraries here, but having a RTLD implies having shared # libraries on the target.) if { [skip_shlib_tests] || ![is_elf_target] } { return 0 } # (Pretend) RTLD file names and flags: set rtld_basename ${::gdb_test_file_name}-rtld set srcfile_rtld ${srcdir}/${subdir}/${rtld_basename}.c set binfile_rtld [standard_output_file ${rtld_basename}] # Placing 'pie' in the flag list (for rtld_flags) doesn't work, but # using -static-pie -FPIE in additional_flags does. Apparently, when # 'pie' is listed, gdb_compile will (on Linux) use both -fPIE and # -pie. Testing shows that use of -pie creates a dynamically linked # executable when either a static or static-pie executable is desired # instead. (This is probably fragile.) # # While developing this code on Fedora Linux, it was found that (only) # the flags -static-pie -fPIE were needed for Fedora 35 through Fedora # 38. The source file rtld-step-rtld.c didn't need the _start() # function either. And, better still, it was possible to call # printf() to output progress messages in the pretend/fake RTLD. # Sadly, these output statements had to be removed in order to obtain # code which would work on other Linux distributions / releases. # # When testing against earlier versions of Fedora, RHEL 9, and # also Ubuntu 22.04, that short flag list didn't work. For these # linux releases, it was found that -nostdlib -lc were also required. # Due to the use of -nostdlib, a _start() function had to be added # to the RTLD code. # # Finally, on FreeBSD, it was found that in order to end up with a # statically linked executable, -static was also needed. # Unfortunately, when attempting to run the rtld-step-main under GDB # on FreeBSD 13.1, this message was/is encountered: # # ELF interpreter /path/to/rtld-step-rtld not found, error 22 # # So, sadly, this test does not currently work on FreeBSD. If you try # to make it work on FreeBSD, you'll probably need to enable the # declarations for __progname and environ in rtld-step-rtld.c. # # If this test becomes broken at some point in the future, you might # try removing -static from the flags below as it is not needed for # Linux. # # Also, because the RTLD is static, you'll need static versions of # libc/glibc installed on your system.
