elf: Self-dlopen failure with explict loader invocation [BZ #24900]
Commit Message
In case of an explicit loader invocation, ld.so essentially performs
a dlopen call to load the main executable. Since the pathname of
the executable is known at this point, it gets stored in the link
map. In regular mode, the pathname is not known and "" is used
instead.
As a result, if a program calls dlopen on the pathname of the main
program, the dlopen call succeeds and returns a handle for the main
map. This results in an unnecessary difference between glibc
testing (without --enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests) and production
usage.
This commit discards the names when building the link map in
_dl_new_object for the main executable, but it still determines
the origin at this point in case of an explict loader invocation.
The reason is that the specified pathname has to be used; the kernel
has a different notion of the main executable.
Tested on x86-64 with and without --enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests.

[BZ #24900]
* elf/dl-object.c (_dl_new_object): Do not store pathnames in the
new object in __RTLD_OPENEXEC mode (except for the origin).
* elf/tst-dlopen-aout.c (check_dlopen_failure): New function with
check for the error message.
(do_test): Call it. Add check using relative path.

Should this be 24900?
BZ#24899 doesn't appear to have anything to do with the dynamic loader.
The patch looks good to me. Thanks!

Yes, fixed locally. Thanks.

Thanks for v2 of this patch.
Overall I think harmonizing the linker behaviour has long-term benefit,
so I approve of the approach, much in the vein of static vs. dynamic tests.
If the strategy is to make direct linker invocation the same as non-direct
linker invocation then you need to test both:
(a) Normal test with the test framework.
(b) Test-in-container test running the binary directly.
Could you add the test-in-container test that runs the same test but
in the container directly under the linker in question?

OK. I like this behaviour since it avoids a difference in the two cases.
