[parisc-linux] glibc 2.2.3: setjmp/longjmp

[Matthew Wilcox]

i think i've traced the problem down to setjmp/longjmp not working.

here's what happens:

__libc_dlsym calls
dlerror_run(do_dlsym) calls
_dl_catch_error -> setjmp, then calls
do_dlsym which calls
_dl_lookup_symbol which fails and calls
_dl_signal_cerror which calls
_dl_signal_error which calls longjmp

At this point, we should expect to get back to where we called setjmp, however that appears to not work.  If I add:

  errcode = setjmp (c.env);
_dl_printf("after setjmp, errcode = %u\n", errcode);
  if (__builtin_expect (errcode, 0) == 0)

the output from my debug logs looks like:

__libc_dlsym gconv_end
after setjmp, errcode = 0
current_value = 0 0
in the if... *ref = 0
in the if... not checking ELFW(ST_BIND)
in _dl_signal_cerror, receiver = 0
_dl_signal_error(0, /home/willy/cvs/glibc-build/iconvdata/SJIS.so, undefined symbol: gconv_end)
_dl_signal_error: lcatch = 7ff01300
_dl_signal_error: about to longjmp to 7ff01308
dlerror_run: errstr = (null)
Segmentation fault

so it's returning to the _caller_ of _dl_catch_error instead.  Ugh.
I'll be trying to decode assembler now...
