But somehow, I am getting Segmentation Faults. Not sure if there is something else getting corrupted. The patch: Right now, the dl_addr() does the following : 1) Find a map which bounds the "address" being looked, within [map->l_map_start, map->l_map_end]. Find the last segment of type PT_LOAD and check if the address lies within the "end" of that segment. Now in our case this is what happens : l_map_start -segment1- | unmapped or a different lib| segment2 - l_map_end ^----------------------|%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%|-----------------^ The libjvm.so is mapped in the gap (shown with %) between two segments of ld-linux.so! And we check the address with the segment2 of ld-linux and gets a hit ! There are two ways to fix the issue : 1) Ensure that no other maps gets mapped within the range of an already mapped lib. OR 2) Check each segments of the loaded map to confirm that the address lies in one of the shared objects of the lib. The patch above takes the second approach. But, somehow I am getting segmentation faults while running with this patch. Debugging the segmentation fault problem. Meanwhile could you please share your thoughts on this patch ?
