Hi,
I've sent the question below to the Ceph-devel list, asking if any
recent changes would be able to cause this.
But then of course this could stem from FreeBSD libs, and of ports....
So the question here is if anybody has gotten these "warnings" in other
tools.

Subject: Warnings about dlclose before thread exit

Hi,
I've have upgraded to FreeBSD ALPHA 12.0, but I don't think the errors
them from there. Although they could be in one of the libs that came
along with the upgrade.
I'm getting these warnings during rbd and ceph (maybe even more)
invocations that indicate that indicate a possible problem because:
===
It could be possible that a dynamically loaded library, use
thread_local variable but is dlclose()'d before thread exit. The
destructor of this variable will then try to access the address,
for calling it but it's unloaded, so it'll crash. We're using
__elf_phdr_match_addr() to detect and prevent such cases and so
prevent the crash.
===
this is from :
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/lib/libc/stdlib/cxa_thread_atexit_impl.c
Now it could be that dlclose() and thread exit are just closed to one
another. But still this is hard core embedded in libc already since
2017, so I'm sort of expecting that a recent change has caused this.
And as indicated it is a possible cause for crashed, because thread_exit
is going to clean up things that are no longer there.
Now the 20 dollar question is:
Where was this introduced??
Otherwise I'll have to try and throw my best gdb capabilities at it, and
try to invoke an rbd call and see where it activates this warning.
