  1703. Build all libraries and executables with "ld -z relro".
  1704. This tells the linker to mark chunks of an executable or shared
  1705. library read-only after applying dynamic relocations. (This comes
  1706. up when a global const variable is initialized to the address of a
  1707. function or the value of another global variable.)
  1708. This is a fairly obscure option the ld man page doesn't even bother
  1709. to document properly. It's a security paranoia issue that's more
  1710. likely to consume memory (by allocating an extra page) rather than
  1711. save it.
  1712. This is explained in more depth at
  1713. http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/189

  1720. Build all libraries and executables with "ld -z now".
  1721. This tells the linker to resolve all symbols when the library is
  1722. first loaded, rather than when each function is first called. This
  1723. increases start-up latency by a few microseconds and may do
  1724. unnecessary work (resolving symbols that are never used), but the
  1725. realtime people like it for making microbenchmark timings slightly
  1726. more predictable and in some cases it can be slightly faster due to
  1727. CPU cache behavior (not having to fault the linker back in to do
  1728. lazy symbol resolution).
  1729. Most people can't tell the difference between selecting Y or N here.
  1730. config UCLIBC_BUILD_NOEXECSTACK
  1731. bool "Build uClibc with noexecstack marking"

  1733. help
  1734. Mark all assembler files as noexecstack, which will mark uClibc
  1735. as not requiring an executable stack. (This doesn't prevent other
  1736. files you link against from claiming to need an executable stack, it
  1737. just won't cause uClibc to request it unnecessarily.)
  1738. This is a security thing to make buffer overflows harder to exploit.
  1739. By itself, it's kind of useless, as Linus Torvalds explained in 1998:
  1740. http://old.lwn.net/1998/0806/a/linus-noexec.html
  1741. It only actually provides any security when combined with address
  1742. space randomization, explained here: http://lwn.net/Articles/121845/
  1743. Address space randomization is on by default in current linux
  1744. kernels (although it can be disabled using the option
  1745. CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK).

  1802. Answer Y here to enable all the extra code needed to debug the uClibc
  1803. native shared library loader. The level of debugging noise that is
  1804. generated depends on the LD_DEBUG environment variable... Just set
  1805. LD_DEBUG to something like: 'LD_DEBUG=token1,token2,.. prog' to
  1806. debug your application. Diagnostic messages will then be printed to
  1807. the stderr.
  1808. For now these debugging tokens are available:
  1809. detail provide more information for some options
  1810. move display copy processing
  1811. symbols display symbol table processing
  1812. reloc display relocation processing; detail shows the
  1813. relocation patch

  1815. bindings displays the resolve processing (function calls);

  1817. all Enable everything!
  1818. The additional environment variable:
  1819. LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=file
  1820. redirects the diagnostics to an output file created using
  1821. the specified name and the process id as a suffix.
  1822. An excellent start is simply:
  1823. $ LD_DEBUG=binding,move,symbols,reloc,detail ./appname
  1824. or to log everything to a file named 'logfile', try this
  1825. $ LD_DEBUG=all LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=logfile ./appname

  1835. only when starting a new port when you haven't figured out how to
  1836. properly get the values for argc, argv, environ, etc. This method
  1837. allows a degree of visibility into the very early shared library

  1847. Malloc debugging output may then be enabled at runtime using the
  1848. MALLOC_DEBUG environment variable.
  1849. The value of MALLOC_DEBUG should be an integer, which is interpreted
  1850. as a bitmask with the following bits:
  1851. 1 - do extra consistency checking
  1852. 2 - output messages for malloc/free calls and OS
  1853. allocation calls
  1854. 4 - output messages for the `MMB' layer
  1855. 8 - output messages for internal malloc heap manipulation
  1856. calls
