Only try Fat handling on ELF parse failure

Rather than always attempting to parse as FatELF, we can only bother
trying when ELF has declared the binary as not a valid ELF binary. In
that case, it's either not a binary at all, or it's actually a FatELF
file.


# b9d6042e 23-Nov-2012 Landon Fuller <landonf@plausible.coop>

Fix the test_executable() implementation.

Modified test_executable() and the backing elf_verify_header to
fall back to FatELF parsing in the case that ELF parsing fails.

Interestingly, part of the code I modified in test_executable seems to
limit the #! line to a maximum size of sizeof(elf_ehdr). That wasn't
immediately relevant to FatELF, so I left that limit in place.


# 959514bf 23-Nov-2012 Landon Fuller <landonf@plausible.coop>

Plumb FatELF loading through runtime_loader.

This should cover all userspace executable and shared library loading.
Additional work is required for test_executable/elf_verify_header,
which has been marked with FATELF_TODO.


# e3ac2588 25-Jul-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Changed runtime_loader to use elf_* typedefs over Elf32_*.

This means that it will be using ELF64 types on x86_64 rather than
ELF32. The next step for supporting x86_64 is to implement relocations.


# 43e7b1c2 31-Mar-2012 Hamish Morrison <hamish@lavabit.com>

Fix dladdr behaviour

* If dladdr can't find an exact match, it returns the nearest symbol
less than the given address.
* If no suitable symbol can be found, but the address is within a
loaded library, dladdr returns the library name and base address.

# b6455c08 07-Aug-2011 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Implemented dladdr() in the runtime loader. This is like a gazillion times
faster than before.
* This also solves a TODO in dladdr(), although I did not use
get_library_symbol() as I didn't quite see how that could fit as the comment
suggested; there is now a new function get_symbol_at_address() for this.

# f7127458 15-Apr-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Private libroot locking primitives:
- Reimplemented mutex to use the _kern_mutex*() syscalls.
- The initializer functions cannot fail anymore -- changed their return type
to void.
- Changed the initializer function semantics to not copy the name by default
anymore (as in the kernel). Also added *_etc() versions of them that take an
additional flags.
- Added static initializer macros.
- Made the mutex (and thus recursive_lock) lock functions non-interruptable.
- Got rid of the "lazy" version. They are no longer needed, since the
initialization of the standard types can be done statically and cannot fail.
* Adjusted libroot, runtime loader, and other code using the private libroot
locking primitives to the new semantics.
* pthreads mutexes and condition variables:
- Reimplemented using the _kern_mutex*() syscalls.
- Consistently use POSIX error codes.
- Fixed some not quite POSIX compliant behavior.

# 765a039d 27-Dec-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Pre-load shared objects as libraries, so their symbols will be used
automatically and a pre-loaded library will not be loaded again, when it's
also a dependency.

# f2bb2575 29-Nov-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Use the shared recursive lock implementation instead of the home-grown stuff.
The shared implementation is benaphore style, saving unnecessary syscalls.

- Enabled -Werror.
- Renamed all remaining *.c source files to *.cpp.
- Implemented GNU style ELF symbol versioning support.

# f91194e5 13-May-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Removed the gcc_version from the runtime loader's image_t. Instead we always
determine (or guess) Haiku version and ABI and use those for compatibility
decisions.

# 593ee7bb 12-May-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Extended image_info by fields for the Haiku version and ABI. The runtime loader
and the kernel read those values from the shared object (if available). In the
runtime loader this should eventually replace the gcc version guessing method
currently used (at least for shared objects built for Haiku). The optional
packages need to be rebuilt first, though.

# a2dad9e1 21-Mar-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

get_library_symbol(): Simplified the RTLD_NEXT case. The caller is not bound
to search for a function with the same name as the calling function, so we
really don't need to find the calling function; the calling image suffices.

# 80ece785 28-Feb-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Added private get_image_symbol_etc() that can recursively search for a symbol
(similar to how dlsym() works).

# 47bc6663 01-Feb-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

The assumption that the program image is not used for relocation of
dlopen()ed objects was incorrect. This should fix problems with ports of
software with a plugin/add-on interface.

# df30098d 09-Nov-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

# 0c85bd05 08-Nov-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Reworked undefined symbol resolution in the runtime loader. Got rid of
the per-root-image breadth-first sorted image array. Instead we have a
per-image hook function to resolve the symbols. The default function
uses the sLoadedImages list directly, which is breadth-first sorted
anyway. There's also a BeOS function for old-style symbol resolution
and one for add-ons, which lacks a proper implementation yet (just
uses old-style ATM).
* Made the dl*() functions POSIX compliant:
- dlopen() does no longer use load_add_on(), but loads the object as a
library. It also properly supports a NULL name, now -- the previous
"_APP_" work-around did only work, if this soname was set on the
program (unlikely for programs using this API).
- Implemented RTLD_{GLOBAL,LOCAL}.
- dlsym() looks up symbols properly now, i.e. not just in the given
image, but breadth-first for an actual image or in load order for
the global scope. It also supports the not-quite POSIX RTLD_DEFAULT
and RTLD_NEXT extensions. Our RTLD_NEXT finds more symbols than in
Linux (also in later dlopen()ed libraries), but that should be fine.

# 10b4b5d1 03-Nov-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added an "add-on" interface for the runtime loader. Pre-loaded images
can export a structure containing callback hooks invoked by the
runtime loader when certain image events occur (image loaded,
relocated, initialized, etc.).
* Also added a mechanism to patch image symbols. For an image callback
functions can be installed that patch symbols exported or imported by
the image.

# ca618b22 01-Nov-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Changed the way symbols are resolved. For each root image (program,
add-on) we create a breadth-first sorted image list and use that to
search for symbols.
* Added support for preloading libraries. The environment variable
LD_PRELOAD can contain a whitespace-separated list of shared objects
that will be loaded before the program. This allows to replace
symbols without changing the executable or libraries.
* Resolved TODO in load_program() regarding the order of remapping the
images and initializing the dependencies (problem fixed in r28453).

# 02e577f9 22-Oct-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

When going to load a library also check whether the last path component
matches the program's image name. This is a special case for add-ons
that link against the application, with the application not having a
soname set. The concerned Pe add-ons (HeaderHeader and others) work now.

# 2716cfd3 10-Oct-2008 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Threw away the broken stat() vs. _stat() mechanism to allow for more fields
in struct stat.
* Instead, I followed Marcus' great idea and added a compatibility check in
the runtime loader: now, R5 binaries (also shared libraries) are detected,
and they get special versions for stat(), fstat(), and lstat() that return
the smaller stat struct.
* However, I've disabled (in src/system/libroot/posix/sys/stat.c) using the
larger stat field for now, as this breaks some of our optional packages.
So until we rebuild them all, this shouldn't be enabled.
* This should now also be used for BeOS compatibility in libnetwork.so.

# 0555803a 06-Oct-2008 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Applied patch by Romain, thanks!:

to return the same symbols more than once, and omit others.

# 61b37794 17-May-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Added explicit support for loading executables compiled with the
respectively other gcc version on a Haiku compiled with gcc 2 or gcc 4.
The libraries for such an executable are first searched in "gcc4"
respectively "gcc2" subdirectories of the standard search path
directories. If not found there, we try again with the standard paths.

# 6b202f4e 13-May-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Introduced new header directory headers/private/system which is supposed
to contain headers shared by kernel and userland (mainly libroot).
* Moved quite a few private kernel headers to the new location. Split
several kernel headers into a shared part and one that is still kernel
private. Adjusted all affected Jamfiles and source in the standard x86
build accordingly. The build for other architectures and for test code
may be broken.
* Quite a bit of userland code still includes private kernel headers.
Mostly those are <util/*> headers. The ones that aren't strictly
kernel-only should be moved to some other place (maybe
headers/private/shared/util).

# 5d0638bf 10-May-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Changed FATAL macro to always dprintf() the error. Additionally it still

loaded. Failed attempts to load add-ons and the like doesn't pollute
stdout anymore.

# 6bf15ffc 27-Apr-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Changed macros that enable tracing for individual components from
defined/undefined to numeric values (0 for undefined). This allows for
trace levels.
* Set SYSCALL_TRACING_IGNORE_KTRACE_OUTPUT default to 1, since this is
what one usually wants.

# 3cf7ecd1 13-Apr-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added <sys/mman.h> header. It declares only mmap() and munmap() yet
and defines the macros needed by them.
* Renamed syscall sys_vm_map_file() to _kern_map_file() and changed the
path to an FD parameter. Changed vm_map_file() accordingly and
adjusted the kernel ELF loader and the runtime loader.
* Added syscall _kern_unmap_memory().
* Added bool unmapAddressRange parameter to vm_create_anonymous_area()
and map_backing_store(). If true and the address specification is
B_EXACT_ADDRESS, all areas in the specified address range will be
deleted (unless an area is covered only partially).
* Introduced B_SHARED_AREA flag, which is set on areas that have been
created by {vm,_user}_map_file() with REGION_NO_PRIVATE_MAP. When
fork()ing those areas won't be copied CoW, but rather be cloned. This
is needed for mmap() MAP_SHARED.
* {vm,_user}_map_file() also accept an FD argument < 0, in which case an
anonymous area is created.
* Implemented mmap() and munmap(). Currently there's the restriction
that we can't partially unmap areas. Otherwise the functions should be
rather compliant. We also support the non-POSIX extension
MAP_ANONYMOUS.

# 071f9c3a 27-Mar-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Build configurations shouldn't be done in svn controlled files, so I
finally created a solution to avoid that: Header files that contain
configuration settings (and nothing else) go to build/config_headers.
To change settings, create a directory build/user_config_headers (which
is ignored by svn), copy the respective header there and modify it at
your leisure. Currently only tracing_config.h has been moved to the new
location, but more files will follow eventually. It is also recommended
to move optional macro definitions in Jamfile (as for BFS) to a config
header instead; the build system will then automatically rebuild on
changes.

# 34982809 23-Mar-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

The runtime loader now reads a part of the .comment section of each
shared object to find out the GCC version it has been compiled with.
This is not an exact science, since we've got the version string for
every single object file that has been linked in, but my heuristic seems
to be good enough.

Having the gcc version at hand will allow for two features: Enabling
work-arounds for old executables (like the type info problem in BeOS
apps), and automatically selecting the right set of libraries in a mixed
gcc 2/gcc 4 environment.

The runtime loader did not correctly resolve %A correctly with the
actual normalized program path. IOW it would not work correctly with
symlinks to applications that had their own lib directory.

# 6918dbf4 07-Feb-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Normalize the given image path in load_container(). Just constructing
some absolute path was not enough to always recognize a library as
already loaded. This fixes problems with Perl where loading an add-on
would cause another instance of libperl.so to be loaded, which would
lead to crashes due to uninitialized static vars in the new instance.
Perl builds now and the tests run, but quite a few do fail.

As (our) gcc unfortunately uses atexit() to clean up lazily initialized static
variables inside functions we have to ensure that we do the right thing with
unloadable shared objects. In case a shared object was unloaded that installed
an atexit() hook the application would crash on exit. We now implement a
callback into libroot that is used to call all the atexit() hooks of a
component that is to be unloaded. Most prominently this fixes the media_server
crash at shutdown.

# 74c0424a 26-Jul-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Added a mechanism to retrieve a BMessage with eventual error descriptions
for _kern_load_image().
* Added KMessage to the runtime_loader (a bit hacky, though) - it will use
it to deliver the above mentioned functionality.
* load_dependencies() did return the wrong status code in case a library
was missing; now it returns B_MISSING_LIBRARY.
* load_dependencies() will now try to load all dependencies when a report
message is requested; therefore, all missing libraries are listed.
* Renamed uspace_program_args to user_space_program_args.
* The kernel filled in various members of the user_space_program_args structure
unsafely, ie. was not using user_memcpy().
* Renamed some local variables in team.c to better fit our style guide (ie.
uargs to userArgs).
* Changed Tracker to use the new _kern_load_image() variant on Haiku to retrieve
and report all missing libraries. This fixes bug #1324.
* Adapted kernel_cpp.cpp to the runtime loader as well; the latter will now
compile with _LOADER_MODE defined.

# 46f4d849 01-Jun-2007 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Got rid of sLoadingImages. It was always empty.
* The previous symbol resolution code was incorrect. It would search all
loaded images in the order they had been loaded. Thus an add-on would
possibly see a symbol of an earlier loaded add-on. Now we search
recursively starting with the respective root image (executable or
add-on).
* Added BeOS style symbol resolution and made it the default. A symbol
undefined in an image is only searched in its direct dependencies.
Fixes bug #889 (BeOS apps crashing under Haiku when opening a file
panel).

Only try Fat handling on ELF parse failure

Rather than always attempting to parse as FatELF, we can only bother
trying when ELF has declared the binary as not a valid ELF binary. In
that case, it's either not a binary at all, or it's actually a FatELF
file.

Fix the test_executable() implementation.

Modified test_executable() and the backing elf_verify_header to
fall back to FatELF parsing in the case that ELF parsing fails.

Interestingly, part of the code I modified in test_executable seems to
limit the #! line to a maximum size of sizeof(elf_ehdr). That wasn't
immediately relevant to FatELF, so I left that limit in place.

- Reimplemented mutex to use the _kern_mutex*() syscalls.
- The initializer functions cannot fail anymore -- changed their return type
to void.
- Changed the initializer function semantics to not copy the name by default
anymore (as in the kernel). Also added *_etc() versions of them that take an
additional flags.
- Added static initializer macros.
- Made the mutex (and thus recursive_lock) lock functions non-interruptable.
- Got rid of the "lazy" version. They are no longer needed, since the
initialization of the standard types can be done statically and cannot fail.
* Adjusted libroot, runtime loader, and other code using the private libroot
locking primitives to the new semantics.
* pthreads mutexes and condition variables:
- Reimplemented using the _kern_mutex*() syscalls.
- Consistently use POSIX error codes.
- Fixed some not quite POSIX compliant behavior.

* Reworked undefined symbol resolution in the runtime loader. Got rid of
the per-root-image breadth-first sorted image array. Instead we have a
per-image hook function to resolve the symbols. The default function
uses the sLoadedImages list directly, which is breadth-first sorted
anyway. There's also a BeOS function for old-style symbol resolution
and one for add-ons, which lacks a proper implementation yet (just
uses old-style ATM).
* Made the dl*() functions POSIX compliant:
- dlopen() does no longer use load_add_on(), but loads the object as a
library. It also properly supports a NULL name, now -- the previous
"_APP_" work-around did only work, if this soname was set on the
program (unlikely for programs using this API).
- Implemented RTLD_{GLOBAL,LOCAL}.
- dlsym() looks up symbols properly now, i.e. not just in the given
image, but breadth-first for an actual image or in load order for
the global scope. It also supports the not-quite POSIX RTLD_DEFAULT
and RTLD_NEXT extensions. Our RTLD_NEXT finds more symbols than in
Linux (also in later dlopen()ed libraries), but that should be fine.

LD_PRELOAD can contain a whitespace-separated list of shared objects
that will be loaded before the program. This allows to replace

* Threw away the broken stat() vs. _stat() mechanism to allow for more fields
in struct stat.
* Instead, I followed Marcus' great idea and added a compatibility check in
the runtime loader: now, R5 binaries (also shared libraries) are detected,
and they get special versions for stat(), fstat(), and lstat() that return
the smaller stat struct.
* However, I've disabled (in src/system/libroot/posix/sys/stat.c) using the
larger stat field for now, as this breaks some of our optional packages.
So until we rebuild them all, this shouldn't be enabled.
* This should now also be used for BeOS compatibility in libnetwork.so.

* Introduced new header directory headers/private/system which is supposed
to contain headers shared by kernel and userland (mainly libroot).
* Moved quite a few private kernel headers to the new location. Split
several kernel headers into a shared part and one that is still kernel
private. Adjusted all affected Jamfiles and source in the standard x86
build accordingly. The build for other architectures and for test code
may be broken.
* Quite a bit of userland code still includes private kernel headers.
Mostly those are <util/*> headers. The ones that aren't strictly
kernel-only should be moved to some other place (maybe
headers/private/shared/util).

prints to stdout, but only until the program and its dependencies are
loaded. Failed attempts to load add-ons and the like doesn't pollute
stdout anymore.

defined/undefined to numeric values (0 for undefined). This allows for
trace levels.
* Set SYSCALL_TRACING_IGNORE_KTRACE_OUTPUT default to 1, since this is
what one usually wants.

# 3cf7ecd1e49db0ad531a6d81ad1945c4a6235010 13-Apr-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added <sys/mman.h> header. It declares only mmap() and munmap() yet
and defines the macros needed by them.
* Renamed syscall sys_vm_map_file() to _kern_map_file() and changed the
path to an FD parameter. Changed vm_map_file() accordingly and
adjusted the kernel ELF loader and the runtime loader.
* Added syscall _kern_unmap_memory().
* Added bool unmapAddressRange parameter to vm_create_anonymous_area()
and map_backing_store(). If true and the address specification is
B_EXACT_ADDRESS, all areas in the specified address range will be
deleted (unless an area is covered only partially).
* Introduced B_SHARED_AREA flag, which is set on areas that have been
created by {vm,_user}_map_file() with REGION_NO_PRIVATE_MAP. When
fork()ing those areas won't be copied CoW, but rather be cloned. This
is needed for mmap() MAP_SHARED.
* {vm,_user}_map_file() also accept an FD argument < 0, in which case an
anonymous area is created.
* Implemented mmap() and munmap(). Currently there's the restriction
that we can't partially unmap areas. Otherwise the functions should be
rather compliant. We also support the non-POSIX extension
MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Build configurations shouldn't be done in svn controlled files, so I
finally created a solution to avoid that: Header files that contain
configuration settings (and nothing else) go to build/config_headers.
To change settings, create a directory build/user_config_headers (which
is ignored by svn), copy the respective header there and modify it at
your leisure. Currently only tracing_config.h has been moved to the new
location, but more files will follow eventually. It is also recommended
to move optional macro definitions in Jamfile (as for BFS) to a config
header instead; the build system will then automatically rebuild on
changes.

* Decide whether to use BeOS style symbol resolution at run time
depending on the gcc version of the executable.
* Adjusted non-BeOS-style symbol resolution so that add-ons and
dynamically loaded libraries find symbols in the executable.

This change re-enables support for undefined symbols.

The runtime loader now reads a part of the .comment section of each
shared object to find out the GCC version it has been compiled with.
This is not an exact science, since we've got the version string for
every single object file that has been linked in, but my heuristic seems
to be good enough.

Having the gcc version at hand will allow for two features: Enabling
work-arounds for old executables (like the type info problem in BeOS
apps), and automatically selecting the right set of libraries in a mixed
gcc 2/gcc 4 environment.

The runtime loader did not correctly resolve %A correctly with the
actual normalized program path. IOW it would not work correctly with
symlinks to applications that had their own lib directory.

Normalize the given image path in load_container(). Just constructing
some absolute path was not enough to always recognize a library as
already loaded. This fixes problems with Perl where loading an add-on
would cause another instance of libperl.so to be loaded, which would
lead to crashes due to uninitialized static vars in the new instance.
Perl builds now and the tests run, but quite a few do fail.

bonefish+mmlr:
As (our) gcc unfortunately uses atexit() to clean up lazily initialized static
variables inside functions we have to ensure that we do the right thing with
unloadable shared objects. In case a shared object was unloaded that installed
an atexit() hook the application would crash on exit. We now implement a
callback into libroot that is used to call all the atexit() hooks of a
component that is to be unloaded. Most prominently this fixes the media_server
crash at shutdown.

* load_program() (and probably others) could call delete_image() with a NULL
pointer - which it now handles gracefully.
* This also fixes starting the runtime loader directly: it no longer crashes
but will just return an error.

* Followed Ingo's suggestion and send the message manually in the runtime loader;
therefore, we could remove the ugly defines from KMessage again, and compile it
with KMESSAGE_CONTAINER_ONLY.
* Added KMessage::SetDeliveryInfo() to be able to send messages with a correct
header.
* Fixed a bug in KMessage::SendTo() that would not send the senderTeam when passing
a negative value for the parameter, but override it when passing in a valid
value.

* Added a mechanism to retrieve a BMessage with eventual error descriptions
for _kern_load_image().
* Added KMessage to the runtime_loader (a bit hacky, though) - it will use
it to deliver the above mentioned functionality.
* load_dependencies() did return the wrong status code in case a library
was missing; now it returns B_MISSING_LIBRARY.
* load_dependencies() will now try to load all dependencies when a report
message is requested; therefore, all missing libraries are listed.
* Renamed uspace_program_args to user_space_program_args.
* The kernel filled in various members of the user_space_program_args structure
unsafely, ie. was not using user_memcpy().
* Renamed some local variables in team.c to better fit our style guide (ie.
uargs to userArgs).
* Changed Tracker to use the new _kern_load_image() variant on Haiku to retrieve
and report all missing libraries. This fixes bug #1324.
* Adapted kernel_cpp.cpp to the runtime loader as well; the latter will now
compile with _LOADER_MODE defined.

* Got rid of sLoadingImages. It was always empty.
* The previous symbol resolution code was incorrect. It would search all
loaded images in the order they had been loaded. Thus an add-on would
possibly see a symbol of an earlier loaded add-on. Now we search
recursively starting with the respective root image (executable or
add-on).
* Added BeOS style symbol resolution and made it the default. A symbol
undefined in an image is only searched in its direct dependencies.
Fixes bug #889 (BeOS apps crashing under Haiku when opening a file
panel).
