Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Carlos O'Donell 2020-08-23 02:13:08 UTC

Backport the following commits to improve the dynamic loader:

ad78d702757a189b1fa552d607e8aaa22252a45f
elf: Remove redundant add_to_global_resize_failure  call from dl_open_args

7b5bfe77836442b9aeb75cc520f0d1eb7f82be67
elf: Assert that objects are relocated before their constructors run

3ad5dab476205d6e16156cf0511fa6884b3b0fc4
elf: Do not signal LA_ACT_CONSISTENT for an empty namespace [BZ #26076]

Comment 5 Carlos O'Donell 2022-01-28 14:52:16 UTC

The first commit was backported as part of the fixes for the dl-tls.c assert issue (Bug 1991001).
The second commit is not really required since the assert hasn't triggered in a long time (belt-and-suspenders).
The third commit will come in with the LD_AUDIT fixes when they are completed upstream.

I'm closing out this proactive backport bug for ld.so improvements.
