* ldconfig: remove ignored -v (verbose) optionStefan Eßer2024-03-011-12/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The -v option used to print useful information when operating on a.out format libraries. After the removal of a.out support, it was accepted but did not have any effect. Remove the option and update the man-page. While here mention the set of historic options that are accepted but ignored: "-elf", "-s", and "-v". The FILES section contained outdated information and did not mention the way library directories of optional ports and packages are included in the library search path recorded in the hints file. The description of the "-B" option was incorrect (described a planned change) for big-endian platforms (powerpc64). These do still default to big-endian hints files, since the current version of the "pkg" program expects the hints file to be in native byte-order.

* ldconfig: support hints files of either byte-orderStefan Eßer2024-02-281-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the ldconfig program accept hints files in little-endian and big-endian format on all architectures. The default format is the native byte-order of the respective host. This is expected to change when a version of the pkg command is available that implements support for either byte-order in its internal ldconfig function. (Already committed in the development tree of the pkg utility, a release is expected at the end of Q1/2024). This update adds the -B option to the ldconfig program. It enforces the creation of a big-endian hints file on a little-endian host. The main purpose to is support of tests with non-native byte-order files on little-endian hosts. It will be removed when all supported FreeBSD releases use little-endian hints files by default. When little-endian hints files are generally used, support of either byte-order in libexec/rtld can also be removed. When support for big-endian hints files is no longer required, the COND_SWAP macro in ldconfig and rtld shall be replaced by le32toh(), which just return their argument on little-endian architectures.

If someone needs to use FreeBSD 2 shared libraries they will be best served by using a FreeBSD 2 ldconfig as well. In aa5e1b42e6e3 we removed the ldconfig a.out invocation from rc.d but left the support in ldconfig itself. Remove it now.

* Implement ldconfig functionality for ELF. The hints are stored inJohn Polstra1998-09-051-20/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a different file than the a.out hints, namely, "/var/run/ld-elf.so.hints". These hints consist only of the directory search path. There is no hash table as in the a.out hints, because ELF doesn't have to search for the file with the highest minor version number. (It doesn't have minor version numbers at all.) A single run of ldconfig updates either the a.out hints or the ELF hints, but not both. The set of hints to process is selected in the usual way, via /etc/objformat, or ${OBJFORMAT}, or the "-aout" or "-elf" command line option. The rationale is that you probably want to search different directories for ELF than for a.out. "ldconfig -r" is faked up to produce output like we are used to, except that for ELF there are no minor version numbers. This should enable "ldconfig -r" to be used for checking LIB_DEPENDS in ports even for ELF. I implemented the ELF functionality in a new source file, with an eye toward eliminating the a.out code entirely at some point in the future. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=38836

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | file based on the previous list of directories stored there which should overcome a weakness of the '-m' switch which can only add libs. This is an ideal way of updating the hints list after adding or removing a shlib since it will remove entries that are gone and doesn't need to have all the directories spelled out each time. (eg: rm -f /usr/lib/libtcl75*; ldconfig -R) This only works for version 2 hints files (which we've been generating for a year or so) which store the path. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=28559
