* dlfcn: dlerror needs to call free from the base namespace [BZ #24773]Florian Weimer2021-04-211-5/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | Calling free directly may end up freeing a pointer allocated by the dynamic loader using malloc from libc.so in the base namespace using the allocator from libc.so in a secondary namespace, which results in crashes. This commit redirects the free call through GLRO and the dynamic linker, to reach the correct namespace. It also cleans up the dlerror handling along the way, so that pthread_setspecific is no longer needed (which avoids triggering bug 24774).
* dlfcn: Failures after dlmopen should not terminate process [BZ #24772]Florian Weimer2021-04-211-0/+37
Commit 9e78f6f6e7134a5f299cc8de77370218f8019237 ("Implement _dl_catch_error, _dl_signal_error in libc.so [BZ #16628]") has the side effect that distinct namespaces, as created by dlmopen, now have separate implementations of the rtld exception mechanism. This means that the call to _dl_catch_error from libdl in a secondary namespace does not actually install an exception handler because the thread-local variable catch_hook in the libc.so copy in the secondary namespace is distinct from that of the base namepace. As a result, a dlsym/dlopen/... failure in a secondary namespace terminates the process with a dynamic linker error because it looks to the exception handler mechanism as if no handler has been installed. This commit restores GLRO (dl_catch_error) and uses it to set the handler in the base namespace. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
