In principle it should work on any 64-bit * architecture that has a vDSO. */ #include <stdbool.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <string.h> #include <elf.h> /* * To use this vDSO parser, first call one of the vdso_init_* functions. * If you've already parsed auxv, then pass the value of AT_SYSINFO_EHDR * to vdso_init_from_sysinfo_ehdr. Otherwise pass auxv to vdso_init_from_auxv. * Then call vdso_sym for each symbol you want. For example, to look up * gettimeofday on x86_64, use: * * <some pointer> = vdso_sym("LINUX_2.6", "gettimeofday"); * or * <some pointer> = vdso_sym("LINUX_2.6", "__vdso_gettimeofday"); * * vdso_sym will return 0 if the symbol doesn't exist or if the init function * failed or was not called. vdso_sym is a little slow, so its return value * should be cached. * * vdso_sym is threadsafe; the init functions are not. * * These are the prototypes: */ extern void vdso_init_from_auxv(void *auxv); extern void vdso_init_from_sysinfo_ehdr(uintptr_t base); extern void *vdso_sym(const char *version, const char *name); /* And here's the code. */ #ifndef __x86_64__ # error Not yet ported to non-x86_64 architectures #endif static struct vdso_info { bool valid; /* Load information */ uintptr_t load_addr; uintptr_t load_offset; /* load_addr - recorded vaddr */ /* Symbol table */ Elf64_Sym *symtab; const char *symstrings; Elf64_Word *bucket, *chain; Elf64_Word nbucket, nchain; /* Version table */ Elf64_Versym *versym; Elf64_Verdef *verdef; } vdso_info; /* Straight from the ELF specification. */ static unsigned long elf_hash(const unsigned char *name) { unsigned long h = 0, g; while (*name) { h = (h << 4) + *name++; if (g = h & 0xf0000000) h ^= g >> 24; h &= ~g; } return h; } void vdso_init_from_sysinfo_ehdr(uintptr_t base) { size_t i; bool found_vaddr = false; vdso_info.valid = false; vdso_info.load_addr = base; Elf64_Ehdr *hdr = (Elf64_Ehdr*)base; Elf64_Phdr *pt = (Elf64_Phdr*)(vdso_info.load_addr + hdr->e_phoff); Elf64_Dyn *dyn = 0; /* * We need two things from the segment table: the load offset * and the dynamic table. */ for (i = 0; i < hdr->e_phnum; i++) { if (pt[i].p_type == PT_LOAD && !found_vaddr) { found_vaddr = true; vdso_info.load_offset = base + (uintptr_t)pt[i].p_offset - (uintptr_t)pt[i].p_vaddr; } else if (pt[i].p_type == PT_DYNAMIC) { dyn = (Elf64_Dyn*)(base + pt[i].p_offset); } } if (!found_vaddr || !dyn) return; /* Failed */ /* * Fish out the useful bits of the dynamic table. */ Elf64_Word *hash = 0; vdso_info.symstrings = 0; vdso_info.symtab = 0; vdso_info.versym = 0; vdso_info.verdef = 0; for (i = 0; dyn[i].d_tag != DT_NULL; i++) { switch (dyn[i].d_tag) { case DT_STRTAB: vdso_info.symstrings = (const char *) ((uintptr_t)dyn[i].d_un.d_ptr + vdso_info.load_offset); break; case DT_SYMTAB: vdso_info.symtab = (Elf64_Sym *) ((uintptr_t)dyn[i].d_un.d_ptr + vdso_info.load_offset); break; case DT_HASH: hash = (Elf64_Word *) ((uintptr_t)dyn[i].d_un.d_ptr + vdso_info.load_offset); break; case DT_VERSYM: vdso_info.versym = (Elf64_Versym *) ((uintptr_t)dyn[i].d_un.d_ptr + vdso_info.load_offset); break; case DT_VERDEF: vdso_info.verdef = (Elf64_Verdef *) ((uintptr_t)dyn[i].d_un.d_ptr + vdso_info.load_offset); break; } } if (!vdso_info.symstrings || !vdso_info.symtab || !hash) return; /* Failed */ if (!vdso_info.verdef) vdso_info.versym = 0; /* Parse the hash table header. */ vdso_info.nbucket = hash[0]; vdso_info.nchain = hash[1]; vdso_info.bucket = &hash[2]; vdso_info.chain = &hash[vdso_info.nbucket + 2]; /* That's all we need. */ vdso_info.valid = true; } static bool vdso_match_version(Elf64_Versym ver, const char *name, Elf64_Word hash) { /* * This is a helper function to check if the version indexed by * ver matches name (which hashes to hash). * * The version definition table is a mess, and I don't know how * to do this in better than linear time without allocating memory * to build an index.
