[PATCH] BZ #17702: Fix recursive dlopen.


The ability to recursively call dlopen is useful for malloc 
implementations that wish to load other dynamic modules that
implement reentrant/AS-safe functions to use in their own
implementation.

Given that a user malloc implementation may be called by an
ongoing dlopen to allocate memory the user malloc
implementation interrupts dlopen and if it calls dlopen again
that's a reentrant call.

At present there are two problems with this:

(a) The first dlopen to return unmaps the ld.so.cache from
memory resulting in any outer dlopens potentially referencing
unmapped data (if they were in the middle of looking up an
entry in the cache when they themselves called malloc).

(b) There is code that asserts that _r_debug is RT_CONSISTENT
when dlopen is entered. This may not be true because we may
be inside another dlopen.

The solution is to:

(1) Change _dl_load_cache_lookup to return a copy of the
mapping data, and make the copy using alloca/strcpy first
to prevent malloc from interrupting the copy and potentially
unmapping the cache. If the alloca fails the strcpy immediatly
SIGSEGV's the process, and so a corrupted or overly long cache
path shouldn't compromise the application.

(2) Remove the assertion that _r_debug should be RT_CONSISTENT.

(3) Work with the gdb team and write up a description of
how _r_debug behaves, and specifically how it behaves during
recursive dlopen.

This patch implements (1) and (2). Fixing (3) is going to be
longer term and the next step towards making sure this can
be debugged during a recursive dlopen.

The patch adds a regression test for this new requirement.
The test uses malloc hooks to test recursive dlopen doesn't
fault or abort.

Comments?

OK to checkin?
