Subject: [PATCH 2.34] debug: Mark libSegFault.so as NODELETE
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2023 18:53:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87cz0mmsn0.fsf@oldenburg.str.redhat.com> (raw)

The signal handler installed in the ELF constructor cannot easily
be removed again (because the program may have changed handlers
in the meantime).  Mark the object as NODELETE so that the registered
handler function is never unloaded.

Submitting this for 2.34 because libSegFault.so was removed in 2.35.
Verified using readelf -dW that NODELETE is now set on libSegFault.so.
(Note that there is no lib prefix on the LDFLAGS variable.)
