            Bug ID: 15533
           Summary: LD_AUDIT introduces an avoidable performance
                    degradation
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: dynamic-link

testcase

Introducing an audit library currently force-enables instrumenting for
profiling in the dynamic linker (as if LD_AUDIT implied LD_PROFILE).  However,
this is not necessary if the audit library does not provide la_plt{enter,exit}
symbols.

Attached testcase demonstrates the performance hit:

$ make test
time ./main
0.47user 0.00system 0:00.48elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 1984maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+170minor)pagefaults 0swaps
time env LD_AUDIT=./libaudit.so ./main
