      Fix global symbols relocations · a7480ea6
      8tab authored
      Instead of a single source of symbols, now linker keeps a list of DSO (former Library) objects
      with their own symbols map. That helps to process R_X86_64_COPY relocations correctly.
      For example, if 'a.out' executable with dependencies ['libstdc++.so', 'libc.so'] is being loaded
      and 'a.out' uses 'stdout' symbol from 'libc.so', its relocation process goes as follows:
      - linker processes relocation entry 'stdout' of type R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT from 'libc.so',
      - it goes through object list ['a.out', 'libstdc++.so', 'libc.so'] to find first object
        that exports 'stdout' symbol. The symbol is in 'a.out' with the value e.g. '0x404070',
      - linker sets 'stdout' symbol GOT entry in 'libc.so' to '0x404070',
      ....
      - linker processes relocation entry 'stdout' of type R_X86_64_COPY from 'a.out',
      - it goes through object list excluding 'a.out': ['libstdc++.so', 'libc.so']. The symbol is found in 'libc.so',
      - linker copies the 'stdout' symbol content from 'libc.so' to memory at address '0x404070' (in 'a.out' object).
      
      Objects are relocated in reverse order they were loaded. So in the example above, linker starts with relocating
      'libc.so' and ends with 'a.out'. It is necessary e.g. when linking with 'libstdc++.so' - there are many
      relocations which symbols are found in 'libstdc++.so', so they need to be resolved before their contents are
      copied to 'a.out'. That also matches GNU ld.so behavior.

      Fix tls tests for dynamic linker · eee9a80b
      8tab authored
      * load TLS segment for executable - while we can skip PT_LOAD for executable,
        we still have to load TLS segment.
      * set TCB address based on if elf is position independent
