Modified files:
sys/kern imgact_elf.c
Log:
If you merge this into -stable, please increment __FreeBSD_version
in "src/sys/sys/param.h".
Fix the ELF image activator so that it can handle dynamic linkers
which are executables linked at a fixed address. This improves
compliance with the ABI spec, and it opens the door to possibly
better dynamic linker performance in the future. I've experimented
a bit with a fixed-address dynamic linker, and it works fine. But
I don't have any measurements yet to determine whether it's
worthwhile.
Also, remove a few calculations that were never used for anything.
I will increment __FreeBSD_version, since this adds a new capability
to the kernel that the dynamic linker might some day rely upon.
