To confirm I understand this:

  • Linking libsys.so without -Bsymbolic means the linker deems the various symbols preemptible
  • If libc.so is earlier in the link map then libsys's unfiltered symbols will be preempted by libc.so's at run time

I can conform this fixes the issues I've seen with an WITH_BIND_NOW jail.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Feb 22 2024, 11:53 PM

  • Linking libsys.so without -Bsymbolic means the linker deems the various symbols preemptible
  • If libc.so is earlier in the link map then libsys's unfiltered symbols will be preempted by libc.so's at run time

It also means that symbols looked up not _from the filter_ are preempted. This is the cause of the problem

This revision was automatically updated to reflect the committed changes.

This change breaks legacy programs that declare extern int errno; instead of including errno.h. Maybe we want to find a different solution.

See D46780 for a change that completes the removal of the errno symbol.
