Description of problem: Randomly picked mplayer (rpmfusion) and it slows down its startup. In other cases (./configure run) it really speeds up the startup as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): prelink-0.5.0-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: rm *;sync;(time for i in `seq 0 89`;do mplayer &>/dev/null -nosound -vo png -ss $i -endpos 0 video.mp4;mv 00000001.png $i.png;done) 2>&1|grep ^real|tee -a /tmp/times Actual results: without prelink: 6.220s 6.212s 6.218s 7.463s 6.277s 6.216s 6.203s 6.255s 6.209s 6.205s with prelink: 6.560s 6.496s 6.501s 6.530s 6.583s 6.616s 6.511s 6.498s 6.489s 6.915s Expected results: with prelink times should be <= without prelink times Additional info: -=without prelink +=with prelink runtime linker statistics: - total startup time in dynamic loader: 28010379 clock cycles + total startup time in dynamic loader: 34141440 clock cycles - time needed for relocation: 19069899 clock cycles (68.0%) + time needed for relocation: 25601766 clock cycles (74.9%) - number of relative relocations: 73592 + number of relative relocations: 0 - time needed to load objects: 8138088 clock cycles (29.0%) + time needed to load objects: 7724814 clock cycles (22.6%) https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-October/190274.html
Can't reproduce. Additionally, rpmfusion mplayer is a PIE, so it isn't prelinked at all, and while some libraries it is linked against can be prelinked, the dynamic linker ignores their prelink assigned addresses (like with LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS=0) and thus they are treated the same, relative relocations can't be skipped in that case like they can't be skipped with non-prelinked system etc.
