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.

Fixed In Version: glibc-2.28-75.el8
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.The `glibc` dynamic loader is enhanced to provide a non-inheriting library preloading mechanism With this enhancement, the loader can now be invoked to load a user program with a `--preload` option followed by a colon-separated list of libraries to preload. This feature allows users to invoke their programs directly through the loader with a non-inheriting library preload list. Previously, users had to use the LD_PRELOAD environment variable which was inherited by all child processes through their environment.

Description Florian Weimer 2019-08-30 13:20:33 UTC 
We should backport this commit to provide a non-inheriting version of LD_PRELOAD:

commit 8692ebdb1259be60c545fa509d4852b26703777e
Author: David Newall <glibc>

    elf: Implement --preload option for the dynamic linker

The upstream commit comes with a test case.
Comment 1 Carlos O'Donell 2019-10-07 04:54:06 UTC 
release/2.30/master - Not required.
release/2.29/master - Not required.
release/2.28/master - Not required.

Not putting --preload change on 2.28 or 2.28 because it's an interface change. It's downstream only. We want it in RHEL to help with testing and that could use --preload instead of an env var LD_PRELOAD.
Comment 2 Carlos O'Donell 2019-10-22 13:39:52 UTC 
Please backport patch to Fedora (if required):
Fedora 31
Fedora 30
Fedora 29
Comment 3 Carlos O'Donell 2019-10-30 02:32:15 UTC 
Skip the F29 backport.
Comment 5 Sergey Kolosov 2019-12-16 09:10:44 UTC 
Verified with elf/tst-rtld-preload glibc test case.
