As reported in bugzilla itself and on man-pages [1] it has been
broken since 2.19.  Also, its design tie glibc internal definition
by duplicate struct layouts and dynamic loader objects.

Also, as noted by man-pages the same behavior can be obtained with

  $ gdb -ex "set confirm off" -ex "set height 0" -ex "info shared" \
                       -ex "quit" -p $pid | grep '^0x.*0x'

Or with external tools as 'lsof'.  An alternative way to show the
dynamic shared objects liked into a process on Linux would be to
use the /proc/<pid>/maps instead as following example:

---

import sys, os

def main(argv):
  with open('/proc/' + argv[0] + '/maps', 'r') as maps:
    segs = {}
    st = os.stat('/proc/' + argv[0] + '/exe')
    for line in maps:
      fields = line.split()
      if len(fields) < 5:
        continue
      major,minor = fields[3].split(':')
      dev = os.makedev(int(major), int(minor))
      inode = int(fields[4])
      if dev == 0 or inode == 0:
        continue
      # Skip the map entry if the device + inode pair match that of the exe.
      if dev == st.st_dev or inode == st.st_ino:
        continue

      # Check if file is accessible.
      try:
        segst = os.stat(fields[5])
      except OSError:
        continue

      # Print only executable segments.
      if 'x' in fields[1]:
        print(fields[5])

if __name__ == '__main__':
  main(sys.argv[1:])

I have a sustained objection to removing pldd.

Have we looked into why it's broken?

I'm happy to add a test-in-container runtime test for it so we can
see breakage when it happens.

It matches the same Solaris tool pldd, and is a useful utility.

We probably haven't seen a problem because enterprise uses might have
patched pldd to fix it, or RHEL7 which is on 2.17 still has a working
version.

That relies on a debugger on the target system and it might be a problem
on production systems.

This requires python in base runtime, and might not be on a production
container instance.

What's wrong with fixing pldd?

I will take a second look, but my wildly guess is most likely some
internal linker interface has drift from pldd internal definitions
and when it tries to poke on process memory it reads invalid memory.

I agree it is useful, but the same functionally can be provided with
different tools and/or kernel facilities.  The advantage I see that
pldd might have it is suppose to poke on internal glibc data structures
and get the loaded dynamic shared objects without relying on additional
kernel information.

The Ubuntu version I have installed all show the same issue (14.04, 16.04,
and 18.04).

This is just an example on how to obtain the same information.

Ok, the question I have is whether we want to make pldd still poke the loader
internal data structures directly using /proc/<pid>/mem plus ptrace or if we
can use a simplified version by parsing /proc/<pid>/maps (as lsof does).

For latter, why we can't use use lsof instead? Do we really need to provide
a similar tool (but will less features)?

Another possible caveat that came to my mind of coding pldd by poking on
loader internal data is it ties the pldd to installed glibc (meaning that
a new pldd version might fail on older glibc or vice-versa).

OK, please share what you find if you think we need to do this some

Right.

Could we link pldd against ld.so and export an external private interface
that allows pldd to use ld.so to read another ld.so's memory?

We always assume pldd and ld.so match the system glibc, so this would
remove the problem that we're relying on duplicate information.

In eu-ldd this was much easier because I only needed to read ELF, and so
that's well structured, but I do need to duplicate a lot of ld.so logic,
but I found that a win, in that eu-ldd ends up being a clean-room
implementation of the loading logic for testing comparison.

pldd is not that.

lsof is a completely different installed package on most rpm derivative distros.

While pldd is in glibc-common and always installed.

Having a smaller tool that provides a quick way to check libs in the process.

I don't think the maintenance cost outweights the benefit (yet).

I think we actually need *more* tooling like this, like lari:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36870/lari-1.html

All of which are useful in debugging production issues on production systems
that don't always have all the tools you want available, but have a small
set of sanity-checking tools.

Packaging a minimum set of useful tools with glibc ensures that the project
as a whole delivers what is required to inspect and debug processes that use
glibc and act as examples for what we believe is required to debug glibc-linked
proccesses.

In summary I don't think we're at the tipping point of throwing away pldd.

That is 100% OK.

You must not do this. You must use matching tooling.

pldd is in glibc-utils, and not installed by default.

It's in glibc-common in Fedora because ldd is there too.

Our glibc-utils has only memusage, memusagestat, mtrace,
pcporfiledump, and xtrace.

There is an argument for it to be in glibc-utils.

Either way my objection is that we are removing pldd
without doing a proper RCA to determine if the cost
to fix is higher than the cost to continue using it.

If we can't fix it then that's OK, we can kill it, but
the tool could be used to reveal even more interesting
things like when run on a program with LD_AUDIT auditors
it could show the DSOs in the private namespace with a
note that they are in the private namespace. That does
indeed require some sharing, but we build it with glibc
so we can share any code we need even at the linked
object level.
