  1712. Build all libraries and executables with "ld -z relro".
  1713. This tells the linker to mark chunks of an executable or shared
  1714. library read-only after applying dynamic relocations. (This comes
  1715. up when a global const variable is initialized to the address of a
  1716. function or the value of another global variable.)
  1717. This is a fairly obscure option the ld man page doesn't even bother
  1718. to document properly. It's a security paranoia issue that's more
  1719. likely to consume memory (by allocating an extra page) rather than
  1720. save it.
  1721. This is explained in more depth at
  1722. http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/189

  1729. Build all libraries and executables with "ld -z now".
  1730. This tells the linker to resolve all symbols when the library is
  1731. first loaded, rather than when each function is first called. This
  1732. increases start-up latency by a few microseconds and may do
  1733. unnecessary work (resolving symbols that are never used), but the
  1734. realtime people like it for making microbenchmark timings slightly
  1735. more predictable and in some cases it can be slightly faster due to
  1736. CPU cache behavior (not having to fault the linker back in to do
  1737. lazy symbol resolution).

  1740. bool "Build uClibc with noexecstack marking"

  1743. Mark all assembler files as noexecstack, which will mark uClibc
  1744. as not requiring an executable stack. (This doesn't prevent other
  1745. files you link against from claiming to need an executable stack, it
  1746. just won't cause uClibc to request it unnecessarily.)
  1747. This is a security thing to make buffer overflows harder to exploit.
  1748. By itself, it's kind of useless, as Linus Torvalds explained in 1998:
  1749. http://old.lwn.net/1998/0806/a/linus-noexec.html
  1750. It only actually provides any security when combined with address
  1751. space randomization, explained here: http://lwn.net/Articles/121845/
  1752. Address space randomization is on by default in current linux
  1753. kernels (although it can be disabled using the option
  1754. CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK).

  1811. Answer Y here to enable all the extra code needed to debug the uClibc
  1812. native shared library loader. The level of debugging noise that is
  1813. generated depends on the LD_DEBUG environment variable... Just set
  1814. LD_DEBUG to something like: 'LD_DEBUG=token1,token2,.. prog' to
  1815. debug your application. Diagnostic messages will then be printed to
  1816. the stderr.
  1817. For now these debugging tokens are available:
  1818. detail provide more information for some options
  1819. move display copy processing
  1820. symbols display symbol table processing
  1821. reloc display relocation processing; detail shows the
  1822. relocation patch
  1823. nofixups never fixes up jump relocations
  1824. bindings displays the resolve processing (function calls);

  1826. all Enable everything!
  1827. The additional environment variable:
  1828. LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=file
  1829. redirects the diagnostics to an output file created using
  1830. the specified name and the process id as a suffix.
  1831. An excellent start is simply:
  1832. $ LD_DEBUG=binding,move,symbols,reloc,detail ./appname
  1833. or to log everything to a file named 'logfile', try this
  1834. $ LD_DEBUG=all LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=logfile ./appname

  1844. only when starting a new port when you haven't figured out how to
  1845. properly get the values for argc, argv, environ, etc. This method
  1846. allows a degree of visibility into the very early shared library

  1856. Malloc debugging output may then be enabled at runtime using the
  1857. MALLOC_DEBUG environment variable.
  1858. The value of MALLOC_DEBUG should be an integer, which is interpreted
  1859. as a bitmask with the following bits:
  1860. 1 - do extra consistency checking
  1861. 2 - output messages for malloc/free calls and OS
  1862. allocation calls
  1863. 4 - output messages for the `MMB' layer
  1864. 8 - output messages for internal malloc heap manipulation
  1865. calls
