Summary: pthread issues with 0.9.29
Description:
I am using uclibc0.9.29, binutils 2.18 for ARM926T
I am facing problems executing applications which uses pthread.
when including pthread library my application crashes giving message
"segmentation fault". But the same is working with glibc .
When I debugged using strace It gave following error message
# strace ./run_loop
execve("./run_loop", ["./run_loop"], [/* 16 vars */]) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec
format
error)
write(2, "strace: exec: Exec format error\n", 32strace: exec: Exec format
error
) = 32
exit(1) = ?
Process 738 detached

>From your output there is no evidence of a segfault. Please provide more
information.
Command line used to build your application. Source code if available.
Further I suggest you to build with debug synmbol (both your application
and uclibc) and start using gdb to debug.
The info you provide are not enough to figure out what is going wrong

The problem happens when -lpthread is used along with -lc.
for example:
# arm-linux-gcc -lc -lpthread sample.c
The strace for this attached.
The same program works when i compile with
# arm-linux-gcc -lpthread sample.c
----------------------------------------------------------------------
carmelo73 - 02-22-08 00:13
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As a general suggestion, you don't need to link explicitly against libc
(-lc)...
it is done by default by the compiler (append -v at your build command and
you will see what it is doing silently)
Further are you sure arm-linux-gcc is properly configured for uClibc ?
Could you post the output of the command readelf -l <executable> ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
straces are not terribly useful when talking about a threading crash
please post a source code test case which we can compile/debug

This is very similar to what I encountered with our MIPS toolchain and
NPTL. 0002414 might be the same problem too.
I found one potential cause:
- Once libpthread is linked, standard loader is used instead of uClibc
loader
Here is a console log showing this problem with ldd:

I have the same issue on arm (nommu), uclibc 0.9.29. Using gdb on the
target I have tracked the problem down to the call to
__pthread_initialize_minimal during init. The call takes place via some
memory lookup, but ends up in the wrong place (somewhere in the data
segment). If I look at the target code with objdump -x I see this
disturbing fact:
00000000 w *UND* 00000000 __pthread_initialize_minimal
So it's no wonder the call goes wrong, because the function code is not
included. It seems to me that something in the link process must have gone
wrong. The linker has clearly filled out the memory locations used in the
call with something, but forgot to include the actual code.
This is the part of the code where I see the failure (objdump -d):

I am having a similar problem for an i586 target using uClibc-0.9.29,
binutils 2.18, and gcc 4.2.1.
I cross compile with the following :
export PATH_TO_BUILDROOT=/home/leinhos/src/buildroot
export
CC=$PATH_TO_BUILDROOT/build_i586/staging_dir/usr/bin/i586-linux-gcc
export LD=$PATH_TO_BUILDROOT/build_i586/staging_dir/usr/bin/i586-linux-ld
export CPPFLAGS=-I$PATH_TO_BUILDROOT/build_i586/staging_dir/usr/include
export LDFLAGS=-L$PATH_TO_BUILDROOT/build_i586/staging_dir/usr/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$PATH_TO_BUILDROOT/build_i586/staging_dir/usr/bin
and use the following makefile target line:
CFLAGS += -g -Wall
LIBS = -lpthread
OBJS = ${SRCS:.c=.o}
vc_bridge: ${OBJS}
${CC} ${LIBS} -o $@ ${OBJS}
If I check the backtrace on the target, I see:
