_dl_map_segment() was mapping entire file image and then was skipping
the load of the first segment. Switch _dl_map_segment() to anonymous
mapping and do not skip the map of the first segment.

Use PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE as a protection. _dl_map_segments() later
sets the proper protection for both file-mapped and anonymous parts.

The test-suite was run on x86_64/64 and showed no regressions.

glibc code guidelines [1] suggest to explicit define the types, so
'unsigned int' here.

Why do you need o add MAP_DENYWRITE? They are complete ignored by Linux,
as stated in:

include/linux/mman.h
 31 /*
 32  * The historical set of flags that all mmap implementations implicitly
 33  * support when a ->mmap_validate() op is not provided in file_operations.
 34  *
 35  * MAP_EXECUTABLE and MAP_DENYWRITE are completely ignored throughout the
 36  * kernel.
 37  */
 38 #define LEGACY_MAP_MASK (MAP_SHARED \

(if you grep in Linux source code you will see there are only defined for
historical/compatibility reasons, there is indeed no code that actually uses
it).

So basically it would add another mmap on program loading.  For instance, loading
a simple empty main programs:

* Before:

  openat(AT_FDCWD, "./main", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
  mmap(NULL, 16408, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0x7f9d922a9000

And it also slight change the mapping, using the same program:

So I am not seeing any advantage of this refactor: it slight increase the
number of syscalls for library loading and changes the 'debuggability' of
resulting shared library maps.

Fixed locally this and a few other
similar instances. Queued to v10.

But its not ignored in glibc, see

sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/mmap_internal.h

Without that flag PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC
test fails.

Mm, was staring on this for a while,
and file offsets and perms looks the
same. What differences do you mean
exactly?

This is not a "pure refactor", but a preparation
to dlmem(). dlmem() allows the user to pre-map
the memory area (optionally), so in the subsequent
patches I first call the user's callback, and if its
not there or doesn't want to pre-map, then I call
_dl_load_segment() for doing the same thing as
a fall-back.

Do you want me to squash also that patch
into the one that actually needs it?

Because elf/dl-load.h already defines MAP_COPY that handles it, so why
not use it instead?

Yes, Linux limits a maximum mmap both per process [1].  This code increase both
the total mapping requires and runtime cost to setup a new shared library.

The PROT_NONE mapping now does not have a file associated:

  0x7ffff7fa9000     0x7ffff7faa000     0x1000        0x0  ---p

This is not a problem itself, but again this change decrease the information
that some tools might use to analyze the memory mapping.

No need, this patch as-is is nack.  This patch has only cons: it increases runtime
cost for generic case, increase the minimum number of mmap segment a shared library
required, and decrease debuggability.

Would MAP_COPY be a good choice for
explicitly anonymous mapping? If so -
can change.

This talks about the map areas.
I don't think map areas number changed.
Extra syscall - yes. Extra map area - no.
So I don't think my patch is a subject of
the aforementioned system limit.

Ah, that seems to be a "hole" are
between segments. I actually think
my handling is much better. Without
my patch, such holes are filled with
actually the _random_ page from the
original file mapping. Just whatever
page happened to have that offset.
Do you think the random page from
the file is a good idea for tooling/debugging?

In fact I think this is gdb limitation, accessing the procfs directly there is
no extra mapping and all the segments are indeed mapped by associated shared
libraries.

It seems to be a gdb limitation that is showing some wrong information.  But again,
I really don't see *why* this change is needed: the current algorithms already
maps the ELF segments correctly and have random data on the hole does not really
matter (it would be mapped as PROT_NONE).

Queued for v10.

Its only for dlmem().
In dlmem() you need to do anonymous
mmap at the relocation address, and
after that we shouldn't skip the first
segment.
I can remove this patch if you insist, but
the cost will likely be quite high, as I'll
need then to propagate some flag up to
_dl_map_segments() to tell if we can
skip the first segment or not, and if
we should call _dl_map_segment() or
a premap callback.
