Subject: remove freeing of dynamic linker data when dlopen/dlsym are not used
X-Git-Tag: v0.9.7~61
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c91aa03d2488ef2c48276510dec360ed9582e861;p=oweals%2Fmusl.git

remove freeing of dynamic linker data when dlopen/dlsym are not used

this was an optimization to save/recover a minimal amount of extra
memory for use by malloc, that's becoming increasingly costly to keep
around. freeing this data:

1. breaks debugging with gdb (it can't find library symbols)
2. breaks thread-local storage in shared libraries

it would be possible to disable freeing when TLS is used, but in
addition to the above breakages, tracking whether dlopen/dlsym is used
adds a cost to every symbol lookup, possibly making program startup
slower for large programs. combined with the complexity, it's not
worth it. we already save/recover plenty of memory in the dynamic
linker with reclaim_gaps.
