dlopen() of a library that is already loaded fails. libelf_insert() rejects a name that is already in the module registry with EEXIST, and dlinsert() passes that straight out, so the second caller gets NULL. POSIX says dlopen() shall return a handle to the object, and there is no way today for two modules to hold the same library at once -- which is what a shared library is for. So dlopen() now takes another reference on a library that is already there, and dlclose() only tears it down when the last handle goes. The count lives in the dlfcn layer rather than in libelf_insert() so that insmod keeps its own behaviour: a second insmod of the same name still fails with EEXIST, which is right for a kernel module. The module name is what makes any of this possible, and a PROTECTED build did not have one. Names were defined for CONFIG_BUILD_FLAT or the kernel side of a split build, on the reasoning that only the kernel needed them, which predates dlopen() being usable from user space. Without a name the user-space copy of libelf cannot recognise a second open of a library, cannot count opens, and cannot make dlclose() mean anything -- two dlopen()s there produce two independent copies of the library and lose track of the first. Names are therefore defined wherever CONFIG_LIBC_DLFCN is, which costs NAME_MAX per loaded module in that configuration. The path no longer has to be copied either. The module name is the basename of the file and libelf_insert() takes it as a const string, so dlinsert() finds it with strrchr() instead of handing a writable duplicate of the whole path to basename(). BUILD_KERNEL is deliberately untouched. dlopen() returns NULL there unconditionally: dlinsert() is a stub, because sharing a library between processes with separate address spaces needs the text in a shared region and the data per process at a matching virtual address, which is a different problem from this one. Built for mps3-an547:picostest with and without CONFIG_LIBC_DLFCN, and for stm32f4discovery:kostest, a PROTECTED configuration, with it enabled.
