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 Deepu K S 2013-11-20 13:53:06 UTC
Description of problem:
Symbol lookup in elf/dl-lookup.c (dl_lookup_x) incorrectly handles combination of STB_GNU_UNIQUE binding and ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_COPY relocation resulting in returning wrong values, leading to copy relocation effectively not being made.

This bug was reported earlier was fixed in glibc-2.13
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12510

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4
glibc-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

$ cat lib.h
template<typename T> struct S {
    static int i;
};


$ cat lib.cc
#include "lib.h"
template<typename T> int S<T>::i = 1;
static int i = S<char>::i;


$ cat test.cc
#include "lib.h"
#include <cstdio>
int main() {
    std::printf("%d\n", S<char>::i);
    return 0;
}

$ gcc -shared -fPIC -o lib.so lib.cc
$ gcc -o test test.cc lib.so -lstdc++

Actual results:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./test
0

Expected results:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./test
1

Additional info:
This issue was reported by our customer. The test cases performed at their end are attached.

I have tested the patch at my end by rebuilding glibc and could find that the patch fixes the issue.

# Without patch
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --library-path .:/lib64:/usr/lib64 ./test
0

# With patch included
/opt/glibc/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --library-path .:/lib64:/usr/lib64 ./test
1

The patch is also attached to this bug report.
