[parisc-linux] /lib/ld.so.1 (glibc) issues on parisc-linux 2.5 kernel??

[Ryan Bradetich]

Hello libc hackers,

I am investigating a problem that occurs between ld.so.1
and the kernel on the 2.4 (w/o the added hack to fix this) and 2.5 
kernels. The problem manifested itself when I tried to run the ltp
tests, and is shown below:


rbrad@vega:~$ /lib/ld.so.1 --verify /bin/sh
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 879: dl_main: Assertion
`_rtld_local._dl_rtld_map.l_libname' failed!


The system is running Debian Linux with this version of glibc:
ii  libc6          2.3.1-14       GNU C Library: Shared libraries and

I have basically tracked this mis-match down to this problem:

With this statement in the kernel (fs/binfmt_elf.c:create_elf_tables())

	NEW_AUX_ENT(AT_ENTRY, exec->e_entry);

The user_entry and ENTRY_POINTS are:

	user_entry: 41001fb4
	ENTRY_POINT: 41027082


With this statement not present, and the interpreter_type == 0 (No
Interpreter) .. the user_entry and ENTRY_POINT match.  [Note: The
assert goes away at this point].

	user_entry: 41027082
	ENTRY_POINT: 41027082


So at this point, I am not sure if the kernel is setting the
exec->e_entry incorrectly, or if the ENTRY_POINT needs to be adjusted
in glibc for the hppa platform.
