Environment:
[root at localhost jh]# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 8.5.2111
root at localhost jh]# uname -r
4.18.0-348.el8.x86_64
[root at localhost jh]# rpm -qa gcc
gcc-8.5.0-3.el8.x86_64
[root at localhost jh]# rpm -qa dpdk
dpdk-21.11-3.el8.x86_64
Reproduction Procedure:
1. We need create test.c and init.c
[root at localhost jh]# cat init.c
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
__attribute__ ((constructor)) void init(void)
{
char *enval = NULL;
enval = getenv("LD_PRELOAD");
printf("enval LD_PRELOAD : %s\n", enval);
return;
}
[root at localhost jh]# cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("Hello World\n");
return 0;
}
2. Build test.c
gcc test.c -o test
3. Build init.c as so in three cases:
3.1 only link librte_eal.so
gcc --shared -fPIC -lrte_eal init.c -o libinit.so
3.2 link librte_eal.so and librte_net_i40e.so
gcc --shared -fPIC -lrte_eal -lrte_net_i40e init.c -o libinit_i40e.so
3.3 link librte_eal.so and librte_net_mlx5.so
gcc --shared -fPIC -lrte_eal -lrte_net_mlx5 init.c -o libinit_mlx5.so
4. run test using gdb and LD_PRELOAD
4.1 : libinit.so links only librte_eal.so
LD_PRELOAD=./libinit.so gdb ./test
(gdb) r
enval LD_PRELOAD : ./libinit.so
enval LD_PRELOAD : ./libinit.so (I don't know why the constrctor function is executed twice.)
Hello World
4.2 libinit.so links librte_eal.so and librte_net_i40e.so
LD_PRELOAD=./libinit_i40e.so gdb ./test
enval LD_PRELOAD : ./libinit_i40e.so
enval LD_PRELOAD : ./libinit_i40e.so (I don't know why the constrctor function is executed twice.)
Hello World
4.3 4.3 libinit.so links librte_eal.so and librte_net_mlx5.so
LD_PRELOAD=./libinit_mlx5.so gdb ./test
enval LD_PRELOAD : (null) // ? ? ? ?
enval LD_PRELOAD : ./libinit_mlx5.so
Hello World
After libinit.so is linked to librte_net_mlx5.so, the symptom when the gdb is used to execute the program is different from the preceding two cases. The value of LD_PRELOAD obtained is NULL for the first time.
Have you ever had the same problem?
Looking forward to your favourable reply.
Thanks
