https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192252 Bug ID: 192252 Summary: Various ELF parsers and support code should be unified Product: Base System Version: 11.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: conrad.meyer@isilon.com I count something like five different ELF implementations in base. sys/kern/link_elf.c and link_elf_obj.c have tons of shareable code; sys/boot has some degree of ELF parsing / interpretation; libexec/rtld-elf has yet another implementation; usr.sbin/kldxref/ef.c is another version. Almost all of these could benefit from fixes and implementations happening in one place (e.g. GNU hash support, which is present in rtld-elf but none of the others). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
