H.J. Lu a93d9e03a3 Extend struct r_debug to support multiple namespaces [BZ #15971]
Glibc does not provide an interface for debugger to access libraries
loaded in multiple namespaces via dlmopen.

The current rtld-debugger interface is described in the file:

elf/rtld-debugger-interface.txt

under the "Standard debugger interface" heading.  This interface only
provides access to the first link-map (LM_ID_BASE).

1. Bump r_version to 2 when multiple namespaces are used.  This triggers
the GDB bug:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28236

2. Add struct r_debug_extended to extend struct r_debug into a linked-list,
where each element correlates to an unique namespace.
3. Initialize the r_debug_extended structure.  Bump r_version to 2 for
the new namespace and add the new namespace to the namespace linked list.
4. Add _dl_debug_update to return the address of struct r_debug' of a
namespace.
5. Add a hidden symbol, _r_debug_extended, for struct r_debug_extended.
6. Provide the symbol, _r_debug, with size of struct r_debug, as an alias
of _r_debug_extended, for programs which reference _r_debug.

This fixes BZ #15971.

README

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arc*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2

	mips-*-linux-gnu
	mips64-*-linux-gnu
	powerpc-*-linux-gnu	Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
	powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu	Big-endian and little-endian.
	s390-*-linux-gnu
	s390x-*-linux-gnu
	riscv32-*-linux-gnu

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
