Comment (by cdurrett):
Ascend with me to flight level 300. :-)
The simplest program should work. This program for example.
; s.a
section .text
global _start
_start: ret
If in the terminal I
yasm -f elf s.a
ld -s -o s s.o
./s
Program 's' should do nothing - except to get loaded and executed by
runtime_loader.
In all the effort done to support and optimize "shared object programs"
with "dynamic sections", this simplest case looks like it was
inadvertently overlooked sometime after December 2008.
I've made the less-than-one-line change mentioned in the ticket and
restored the handling of the simplest case. The change also protects
runtime_loader from abending in an allocation routine and thus becoming an
attack vector to the rest of the OS.
