linux-user elf loader issue

[antonio barbalace]

all versions up to 4.0 (I didn't test others)
file affected linux-user/elfload.c
function load_elf_image

if (phdr[i].p_type == PT_LOAD) {

- abi_ulong a = phdr[i].p_vaddr - phdr[i].p_offset;
+ abi_ulong a = phdr[i].p_vaddr ; // - phdr[i].p_offset;
            if (a < loaddr) {
                loaddr = a;

To the best of my understanding of the elf format p_offset is not a virtual offset. In fact, when I load statically compiled applications, the load fails because the libc before main is trying to access phdr in the executable image but that memory is not mapped -- this is caused by the wrong loaddr above.

Have you got a test case? The check-tcg tests all pass and they are statically linked elfs.
