Gentoo ld generates RUNPATH in library when -Wl,-rpath is used - c

I have such a directory structure: symlink pointing onto directory and symlink point to a library:
$ libtrotl.so -> /usr/local/lib64/tora-3.1/../libtrotl.so
$ instantclient -> /usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib
When I dlopen library libtrotl.so, all dependent libs are resolved and loaded.
Thanks to RPATH.
$ readelf -d libtrotl.so

As you can see, in second case library libmql1.so is not found although it is present in instantclient sub-directory. How can I set RPATH on Gentoo?

DT_RPATH tags are deprecated, DT_RUNPATH is the modern implementation with a couple different semantics. Gentoo link editors (both ld and gold) will not generate the deprecated tags by default. You can (but probably shouldn't) disable these by passing -Wl,--disable-new-dtags, but that is not recommended as I said.
There is an older pot from Qt that explains the difference of these two when using plugins: http://blog.qt.io/blog/2011/10/28/rpath-and-runpath/

How to link so that pthread_getattr_np will be resolved?

I'm using gcc to build a portable shared object. I'm applying the technique outlined in this answer to ensure that my binary will work on systems with older versions of glibc.
For the symbol pthread_getattr_np, I use
extern "C" {
__asm__(".symver pthread_getattr_np,pthread_getattr_np#GLIBC_2.2.5");
int __wrap_pthread_getattr_np(pthread_t thread, pthread_attr_t* attr) {
return pthread_getattr_np(thread, attr);
}
}
along with the option -Wl,--wrap=pthread_getattr_np to link to a specific portable version. However, pthread_getattr_np recently migrated from libpthread to libc for newer version of glibc. Even though the versioned symbol pthread_getattr_np#GLIBC_2.2.5 is the same, it's defined in a different library.
When I try to load my binary on an older system, I get the error
error: unable to load shared object
symbol pthread_getattr_np version GLIBC_2.2.5 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
If I run
objdump -T /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 | grep pthread_getattr_np
0000000000009420 g DF .text 000000000000035e GLIBC_2.2.5 pthread_getattr_np
I see that the symbol is defined in libpthread.so; and if I run ldd on my binary, I see that libpthread is a dependency

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa3735dd000)
but the symbol won't resolve correctly.
Is there a way to set up the linking for my shared library so that pthread_getattr_np will resolve to either libpthread or libc depending on where it's defined?

version `libssl.so.10' not found

On Ubuntu 18.04 with apt install I installed libssl1.0.0 and libssl1.0-dev.
The following shared objects are available:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so
Set the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the previous path:
$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
Created the following symbolic links:
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.10
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.10
Now this is what I have:
$ file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.10
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.10: symbolic link to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f446f95c000)
So, at this point the dependencies for the library I will use are met.
When I try to validate that, I get issues such as version `libssl.so.10' not found.

libcrypto.so.10 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.10 (0x00007f0d97cea000)
There is a way for me to fix this? So libpjsua2.so is usable.
The shared library libpjsua2.so is designed for the version of OpenSSL shipped by Red Hat, CentOS, or Fedora, while you're trying to use a version built for Ubuntu. This won't work because the SONAME is different, as well as the symbol versioning.
There isn't any way to make this work, so you'll either need to use a shared library compiled for an Ubuntu (or Debian) system or run your program on the system the shared library was compiled for. Note that both Debian and Ubuntu ship a package called libpjsua2, so installing that may meet your needs.
You could theoretically copy the relevant OpenSSL version from the intended operating system, but doing so will likely involve a bunch of other broken shared libraries, and you will probably not be happy with the result.

How to see the order of shared library loading

Given an ELF binary or shared object, how can I most easily see the order in which the needed shared libraries will be loaded?
Are they loaded in the order they are listed by readelf -d?
how can I most easily see the order in which the needed shared libraries will be loaded?
Use LD_DEBUG:
LD_DEBUG=files /bin/ls
13444:
13444: file=libc.so.6 [0]; needed by who [0]
...
13444: file=libnss_files.so.2 [0]; needed by who [0]
...
For more info man ld.so.
Are they loaded in the order they are listed by readelf -d?
Not necessarily e.g. it will be influenced by preloading (LD_PRELOAD, /etc/ld.so.preload).
Using LD_DEBUG=files allows you to see in which order the libraries are searched, and in which order they are initialized. The latter may be different from the former.
Are they loaded in the order they are listed by readelf -d
Depends on what you mean by "loaded". A library is "fully loaded" once it's initializer returned.
Under that definition, no: the order of NEEDED dependencies listed in readelf -d and the order of loading are not the same.
Consider a.out which depends on libA.so and libB.so:
readelf -d a.out | grep NEEDED
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libA.so]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libB.so]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libc.so.6]
And further, libA.so itself depends on libC.so and libD.so:
readelf -d libA.so | grep NEEDED
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libC.so]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libD.so]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libc.so.6]
The order in which the libraries are searched:
LD_DEBUG=files ./a.out |& grep 'needed by'
49169: file=libA.so [0]; needed by ./a.out [0]
49169: file=libB.so [0]; needed by ./a.out [0]
49169: file=libc.so.6 [0]; needed by ./a.out [0]
49169: file=libC.so [0]; needed by ./libA.so [0]
49169: file=libD.so [0]; needed by ./libA.so [0]
The order in which libraries are "fully loaded":
LD_DEBUG=files ./a.out |& grep 'calling init'
69038: calling init: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
69038: calling init: ./libD.so
69038: calling init: ./libC.so
69038: calling init: ./libB.so
69038: calling init: ./libA.so
Other factors that could affect loading order:
LD_PRELOAD or /etc/ld.so.preload.
Any of the libraries can perform dlopen in its initializer.

Link problems with libc++abi when linking against libc++ via cmake

I'm trying to build a simple ("hello world") C++ program with LLVM/Clang 3.7.0 built from sources against the toolchain's libc++, with the command line:
clang++ -std=c++14 -stdlib=libc++ -fno-exceptions hello.cpp
However, I get the following errors:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libc++abi.so.1, needed by /bulk/workbench/llvm/3.7.0
/toolchain4/bin/../lib/libc++.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/bulk/workbench/llvm/3.7.0/toolchain4/bin/../lib/libc++.so: undefined reference to `__cxa_rethrow_primary_exception'
/bulk/workbench/llvm/3.7.0/toolchain4/bin/../lib/libc++.so: undefined reference to `__cxa_decrement_exception_refcount'
/bulk/workbench/llvm/3.7.0/toolchain4/bin/../lib/libc++.so: undefined reference to `std::out_of_range::~out_of_range()'
[...]
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set and the toolchain's install directory is added to my working PATH by:
export PATH=$PATH:/bulk/workbench/llvm/3.7.0/toolchain4/bin/
I'm on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 14.04 and I have not installed anything LLVM or Clang related packages from any repository.
According to the libc++ documentation:
On Linux libc++ can typically be used with only ‘-stdlib=libc++’. However some libc++ installations require the user manually link libc++abi themselves. If you are running into linker errors when using libc++ try adding ‘-lc++abi’ to the link line.
Doing as suggested gives a successful build.
So, my question is this:
Why do I have to specify the -lc++abi dependency explicitly on the line of the build command?
Doing
readelf -d $(llvm-config --libdir)/libc++.so
gives
Dynamic section at offset 0xb68c8 contains 31 entries:

0x000000000000000c (INIT) 0x350a8
[...]
Shouldn't the embedded RPATH in the dynamic section of the ELF be considered by ld as described in its man page under the section -rpath-link=dir?
Moreover, when I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(llvm-config --libdir)
the initial build command (without specifying -lc++abi) works, as also described in the 5th clause of the aforementioned man entry.

Include version number when compiling shared objects

This is a more general question. I know windows DLL's can have a resource file set up with the dll version information, but I'm wondering how to do the same for linux shared objects.
The problem I'm encountering is actually when running just about anything at the terminal, I get a message about libz.so.1 version information not being available. This is due to an application being present with its own version of libz that I've compiled. The library is actually libz.so.1.2.3 and the same version exists in /lib. The files are actually the SAME version of the library, but one of them (which I compiled) says it's missing version information.
So, that leads me to wonder how to actually include the version information in the binary rather than just in the file name. It would be ideal if there's a solution like
./configure .... some_version_option=1.2.3
If I use the working version of the library:
ldd /usr/bin/git
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffdfbff000)
libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00007f3797fa7000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000003c56000000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003c55c00000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003c55400000)
If I use the version I compiled:
ldd /usr/bin/git
/usr/bin/git: libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/git)
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff872b1000)
libz.so.1 (0x00007f83c9270000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000003c56000000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003c55c00000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003c55400000)
You need to pass the library's symbol version map file with -Wl,--version-script <file.map>. The map file should be included in the library source.
