Texinfo 6.5 fails to process the previous structure: ./dynlink.texi:56: warning: node `Dynamic Linker Introspection' is next for `Dynamic Linker Diagnostics' in sectioning but not in menu ./dynlink.texi:56: warning: node up `Dynamic Linker Diagnostics' in menu `Dynamic Linker Invocation' and in sectioning `Dynamic Linker' differ ./dynlink.texi:1: node `Dynamic Linker' lacks menu item for `Dynamic Linker Diagnostics' despite being its Up target ./dynlink.texi:226: warning: node prev `Dynamic Linker Introspection' in menu `Dynamic Linker Invocation' and in sectioning `Dynamic Linker Diagnostics' differ Texinfo 7.0.2 does not report an error.

* elf: Add _dl_find_object functionFlorian Weimer2021-12-281-0/+137
It can be used to speed up the libgcc unwinder, and the internal _dl_find_dso_for_object function (which is used for caller identification in dlopen and related functions, and in dladdr). _dl_find_object is in the internal namespace due to bug 28503. If libgcc switches to _dl_find_object, this namespace issue will be fixed. It is located in libc for two reasons: it is necessary to forward the call to the static libc after static dlopen, and there is a link ordering issue with -static-libgcc and libgcc_eh.a because libc.so is not a linker script that includes ld.so in the glibc build tree (so that GCC's internal -lc after libgcc_eh.a does not pick up ld.so). It is necessary to do the i386 customization in the sysdeps/x86/bits/dl_find_object.h header shared with x86-64 because otherwise, multilib installations are broken. The implementation uses software transactional memory, as suggested by Torvald Riegel. Two copies of the supporting data structures are used, also achieving full async-signal-safety.
