[PATCH v3 4/4] x86,vdso: Hack to keep 64-bit Go programs working
From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Thu Jun 12 2014 - 20:53:42 EST
The Go runtime has a buggy vDSO parser that currently segfaults.
This writes an empty SHT_DYNSYM entry that causes Go's runtime to
malfunction by thinking that the vDSO is empty rather than
malfunctioning by running off the end and segfaulting.
This is currently broken for big-endian build hosts. The hack
should also be disabled for x32, but I'm not sure what the right way
to do that is.

+ * Hack to keep broken Go programs working.
+ *
+ * The Go runtime had a couple of bugs: it would read the section table to try
+ * to figure out how many dynamic symbols there were (it shouldn't have looked
+ * at the section table at all) and, if there were no SHT_SYNDYM section table
+ * entry, it would use an uninitialized value for the number of symbols. As a
+ * workaround, we supply a minimal section table. vdso2c will adjust the
+ * in-memory image so that "vdso_fake_sections" becomes the section table.
+ *
+ * The bug was introduced by:
+ * https://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=56ea40aac72b (2012-08-31)
+ * and is being addressed in the Go runtime in this issue:
+ * https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=8197
