Since 9182aa6799 (Fix vDSO l_name for GDB's, BZ#387) the initial link_map
for executable itself and loader will have both l_name and l_libname->name
holding the same value due:
elf/dl-object.c
95 new->l_name = *realname ? realname : (char *) newname->name + libname_len - 1;
Since newname->name points to new->l_libname->name.
This leads to pldd to an infinite call at:
elf/pldd-xx.c
203 again:
204 while (1)
205 {
206 ssize_t n = pread64 (memfd, tmpbuf.data, tmpbuf.length, name_offset);
228 /* Try the l_libname element. */
229 struct E(libname_list) ln;
230 if (pread64 (memfd, &ln, sizeof (ln), m.l_libname) == sizeof (ln))
231 {
232 name_offset = ln.name;
233 goto again;
234 }
Since the value at ln.name (l_libname->name) will be the same as previously
read. The straightforward fix is just avoid the check and read the new list
entry.
I checked also against binaries issues with old loaders with fix for BZ#387,
and pldd could dump the shared objects.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, and
powerpc64le-linux-gnu.
[BZ #18035]
* elf/Makefile (tests-container): Add tst-pldd.
* elf/pldd-xx.c: Use _Static_assert in of pldd_assert.
(E(find_maps)): Avoid use alloca, use default read file operations
instead of explicit LFS names, and fix infinite loop.
* elf/pldd.c: Explicit set _FILE_OFFSET_BITS, cleanup headers.
(get_process_info): Use _Static_assert instead of assert, use default
directory operations instead of explicit LFS names, and free some
leadek pointers.
* elf/tst-pldd.c: New file.

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
arm-*-linux-gnueabi
csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2
hppa-*-linux-gnu
i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32
ia64-*-linux-gnu
m68k-*-linux-gnu
microblaze*-*-linux-gnu
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
riscv64-*-linux-gnu
sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
sparc*-*-linux-gnu
sparc64*-*-linux-gnu
If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see http://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 http://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 http://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.
