When an executable is invoked directly, we calculate $ORIGIN by calling readlink on /proc/self/exe, which the Linux kernel resolves to the target of any symlinks. However, if an executable is run through ld.so, we cannot use /proc/self/exe and instead use the path given as an argument. This leads to a different calculation of $ORIGIN, which is most notable in that it causes ldd to behave differently (e.g., by not finding a library) from directly running the program. To make the behavior consistent, take advantage of the fact that the kernel also resolves /proc/self/fd/ symlinks to the target of any symlinks in the same manner, so once we have opened the main executable in order to load it, replace the user-provided path with the result of calling readlink("/proc/self/fd/N"). (On non-Linux platforms this resolution does not happen and so no behavior change is needed.) Co-authored-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org> |
