Subject: fix malloc misuse for startup ctor queue, breakage on fdpic archs
X-Git-Tag: v1.1.22~46
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2f1f51ae7b2d78247568e7fdb8462f3c19e469a4;p=oweals%2Fmusl.git

fix malloc misuse for startup ctor queue, breakage on fdpic archs

in the case where malloc is being replaced, it's not valid to call
malloc between final relocations and main app's crt1 entry point; on
fdpic archs the main app's entry point will not yet have performed the
self-fixups necessary to call its code.

to fix, reorder queue_ctors before final relocations. an alternative
solution would be doing the allocation from __libc_start_init, after
the entry point but before any ctors run. this is less desirable,
since it would leave a call to malloc that might be provided by the
application happening at startup when doing so can be easily avoided.
