Commit 77b98220e ("BUG/MINOR: threads: work around a libgcc_s issue with
chrooting") tried to address an issue with libgcc_s being loaded too late.
But it turns out that the symbol used there isn't present on armhf, thus
it breaks the build.
Given that the issue manifests itself during pthread_exit(), the safest
and most portable way to test this is to call pthread_exit(). For this
we create a dummy thread which exits, during the early boot. This results
in the relevant library to be loaded if needed, making sure that a later
call to pthread_exit() will still work. It was tested to work fine under
linux on the following platforms:
glibc:
- armhf
- aarch64
- x86_64
- sparc64
- ppc64le
musl:
- mipsel
Just running the code under strace easily shows the call in the dummy
thread, for example here on armhf:
$ strace -fe trace=file ./haproxy -v 2>&1 | grep gcc_s
[pid 23055] open("/lib/libgcc_s.so.1", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
The code was isolated so that it's easy to #ifdef it out if needed.
This should be backported where the patch above is backported (likely
2.0).
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for : - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use - LICENSE for the project's license - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory : - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux - doc/management.txt for the management guide - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
