From 7e60d1b427c51cf2525e5d736a71780978cfb828 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2006 15:58:52 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] Move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE up to 512MB point I often test new versions of glibc by doing: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/XXX/lib /XXX/lib/ld.so.1 One test case ended up SEGV'ing. Upon closer inspection ld.so was loaded at 0x8000000 (128MB) with the heap right after it. Since we normally link binaries at 0x10000000 (256MB) we only had about 128MB of space for the heap: 00100000-00103000 r-xp 00100000 00:00 0 [vdso] 08000000-0801e000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 33079 /lib/ld-2.5.so 0802d000-0802f000 rwxp 0001d000 00:01 33079 /lib/ld-2.5.so 0802f000-08050000 rwxp 0802f000 00:00 0 [heap] 0fe91000-0ffd9000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 33082 /lib/libc-2.5.so 0ffd9000-0ffe8000 ---p 00148000 00:01 33082 /lib/libc-2.5.so 0ffe8000-0ffea000 r--p 00147000 00:01 33082 /lib/libc-2.5.so 0ffea000-0ffed000 rwxp 00149000 00:01 33082 /lib/libc-2.5.so 10000000-10004000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 76 /bin/sleep 10013000-10014000 rwxp 00003000 00:01 76 /bin/sleep ffb41000-ffb56000 rw-p ffb41000 00:00 0 [stack] One way to fix this is move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE from 0x08000000 to 0x20000000. This allows 128MB for the binary (hopefully enough for even the most crazy c++ apps), and with our current layout we will grow the heap up and the stack down, allowing potentially gigabytes of heap: 00100000-00103000 r-xp 00100000 00:00 0 [vdso] 0fe8a000-0ffd3000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 3350 /lib/tls/libc-2.3.6.so 0ffd3000-0ffe3000 ---p 00149000 00:01 3350 /lib/tls/libc-2.3.6.so 0ffe3000-0ffea000 r--p 00149000 00:01 3350 /lib/tls/libc-2.3.6.so 0ffea000-0ffee000 rwxp 00150000 00:01 3350 /lib/tls/libc-2.3.6.so 10000000-10004000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 76 /bin/sleep 10013000-10014000 rwxp 00003000 00:01 76 /bin/sleep 20000000-20018000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 3478 /lib/ld-2.3.6.so 20028000-20029000 r--p 00018000 00:01 3478 /lib/ld-2.3.6.so 20029000-2002a000 rwxp 00019000 00:01 3478 /lib/ld-2.3.6.so 2002a000-2004b000 rwxp 2002a000 00:00 0 [heap] ffd67000-ffd7c000 rw-p ffd67000 00:00 0 [stack] Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras --- include/asm-powerpc/elf.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/asm-powerpc/elf.h b/include/asm-powerpc/elf.h index d36426c01b6..de507995c7b 100644 --- a/include/asm-powerpc/elf.h +++ b/include/asm-powerpc/elf.h @@ -173,7 +173,7 @@ typedef elf_vrreg_t elf_vrregset_t32[ELF_NVRREG32]; the loader.
