Split off the stuff that cannot use function into its own file,

to make it easier to treat it specially while not bothering the
rest of the code with the same constraints.

+/*
+ * The main trick with this program is that initially, we ourselves are not
+ * dynamicly linked.  This means that we cannot access any global variables or
+ * call any functions.  No globals initially, since the Global Offset Table
+ * (GOT) is initialized by the linker assuming a virtual address of 0, and no
+ * function calls initially since the Procedure Linkage Table (PLT) is not yet
+ * initialized.
+ *
+ * There are additional initial restrictions - we cannot use large switch
+ * statements, since the compiler generates tables of addresses and jumps
+ * through them.  We cannot use normal syscall stubs, because these all
+ * reference the errno global variable which is not yet initialized.  We _can_
+ * use all of the local stack variables that we want.  We _can_ use inline
+ * functions, because these do not transfer control to a new address, but they
+ * must be static so that they are not exported from the modules.
+ *
+ * Life is further complicated by the fact that initially we do not want to do
+ * a complete dynamic linking.  We want to allow the user to supply new
+ * functions to override symbols (i.e. weak symbols and/or LD_PRELOAD).  So
+ * initially, we only perform relocations for variables that start with "_dl_"
+ * since ANSI specifies that the user is not supposed to redefine any of these
+ * variables.
+ *
+ * Fortunately, the linker itself leaves a few clues lying around, and when the
+ * kernel starts the image, there are a few further clues.  First of all, there
+ * is Auxiliary Vector Table information sitting on which is provided to us by
+ * the kernel, and which includes information about the load address that the
+ * program interpreter was loaded at, the number of sections, the address the
+ * application was loaded at and so forth.  Here this information is stored in
+ * the array auxvt.  For details see linux/fs/binfmt_elf.c where it calls
+ * NEW_AUX_ENT() a bunch of time....
+ *
+ * Next, we need to find the GOT.  On most arches there is a register pointing
+ * to the GOT, but just in case (and for new ports) I've added some (slow) C
+ * code to locate the GOT for you.
+ *
+ * This code was originally written for SVr4, and there the kernel would load
+ * all text pages R/O, so they needed to call mprotect a zillion times to mark
+ * all text pages as writable so dynamic linking would succeed.  Then when they
+ * were done, they would change the protections for all the pages back again.
+ * Well, under Linux everything is loaded writable (since Linux does copy on
+ * write anyways) so all the mprotect stuff has been disabled.
+ *
+ * Initially, we do not have access to _dl_malloc since we can't yet make
+ * function calls, so we mmap one page to use as scratch space.  Later on, when
+ * we can call _dl_malloc we reuse this this memory.  This is also beneficial,
+ * since we do not want to use the same memory pool as malloc anyway - esp if
+ * the user redefines malloc to do something funky.
+ *
+ * Our first task is to perform a minimal linking so that we can call other
+ * portions of the dynamic linker.  Once we have done this, we then build the
+ * list of modules that the application requires, using LD_LIBRARY_PATH if this
+ * is not a suid program (/usr/lib otherwise).  Once this is done, we can do
+ * the dynamic linking as required, and we must omit the things we did to get
+ * the dynamic linker up and running in the first place.  After we have done
+ * this, we just have a few housekeeping chores and we can transfer control to
+ * the user's application.

-   a more than adequate job of explaining everything required to get this
-   working. */

-/*
- * The main trick with this program is that initially, we ourselves are
- * not dynamicly linked.  This means that we cannot access any global
- * variables or call any functions.  No globals initially, since the
- * Global Offset Table (GOT) is initialized by the linker assuming a
- * virtual address of 0, and no function calls initially since the
- * Procedure Linkage Table (PLT) is not yet initialized.
- *
- * There are additional initial restrictions - we cannot use large
- * switch statements, since the compiler generates tables of addresses
- * and jumps through them.  We can use inline functions, because these
- * do not transfer control to a new address, but they must be static so
- * that they are not exported from the modules.  We cannot use normal
- * syscall stubs, because these all reference the errno global variable
- * which is not yet initialized.  We can use all of the local stack
- * variables that we want.
- *
- * Life is further complicated by the fact that initially we do not
- * want to do a complete dynamic linking.  We want to allow the user to
- * supply new functions to override symbols (i.e. weak symbols and/or
- * LD_PRELOAD).  So initially, we only perform relocations for
- * variables that start with "_dl_" since ANSI specifies that the user
- * is not supposed to redefine any of these variables.
- *
- * Fortunately, the linker itself leaves a few clues lying around, and
- * when the kernel starts the image, there are a few further clues.
- * First of all, there is Auxiliary Vector Table information sitting on
- * which is provided to us by the kernel, and which includes
- * information about the load address that the program interpreter was
- * loaded at, the number of sections, the address the application was
- * loaded at and so forth.  Here this information is stored in the
- * array auxvt.  For details see linux/fs/binfmt_elf.c where it calls
- * NEW_AUX_ENT() a bunch of time....
- *
- * Next, we need to find the GOT.  On most arches there is a register
- * pointing to the GOT, but just in case (and for new ports) I've added
- * some (slow) C code to locate the GOT for you. 
- *
- * This code was originally written for SVr4, and there the kernel
- * would load all text pages R/O, so they needed to call mprotect a
- * zillion times to mark all text pages as writable so dynamic linking
- * would succeed.  Then when they were done, they would change the
- * protections for all the pages back again.  Well, under Linux
- * everything is loaded writable (since Linux does copy on write
- * anyways) so all the mprotect stuff has been disabled.
- *
- * Initially, we do not have access to _dl_malloc since we can't yet
- * make function calls, so we mmap one page to use as scratch space.
- * Later on, when we can call _dl_malloc we reuse this this memory.
- * This is also beneficial, since we do not want to use the same memory
- * pool as malloc anyway - esp if the user redefines malloc to do
- * something funky.
- *
- * Our first task is to perform a minimal linking so that we can call
- * other portions of the dynamic linker.  Once we have done this, we
- * then build the list of modules that the application requires, using
- * LD_LIBRARY_PATH if this is not a suid program (/usr/lib otherwise).
- * Once this is done, we can do the dynamic linking as required, and we
- * must omit the things we did to get the dynamic linker up and running
- * in the first place.  After we have done this, we just have a few
- * housekeeping chores and we can transfer control to the user's
- * application.

+ * The main trick with this program is that initially, we ourselves are not
+ * dynamicly linked.  This means that we cannot access any global variables or
+ * call any functions.  No globals initially, since the Global Offset Table
+ * (GOT) is initialized by the linker assuming a virtual address of 0, and no
+ * function calls initially since the Procedure Linkage Table (PLT) is not yet
+ * initialized.
+ *
+ * There are additional initial restrictions - we cannot use large switch
+ * statements, since the compiler generates tables of addresses and jumps
+ * through them.  We cannot use normal syscall stubs, because these all
+ * reference the errno global variable which is not yet initialized.  We _can_
+ * use all of the local stack variables that we want.  We _can_ use inline
+ * functions, because these do not transfer control to a new address, but they
+ * must be static so that they are not exported from the modules.
+ *
+ * Life is further complicated by the fact that initially we do not want to do
+ * a complete dynamic linking.  We want to allow the user to supply new
+ * functions to override symbols (i.e. weak symbols and/or LD_PRELOAD).  So
+ * initially, we only perform relocations for variables that start with "_dl_"
+ * since ANSI specifies that the user is not supposed to redefine any of these
+ * variables.
+ *
+ * Fortunately, the linker itself leaves a few clues lying around, and when the
+ * kernel starts the image, there are a few further clues.  First of all, there
+ * is Auxiliary Vector Table information sitting on which is provided to us by
+ * the kernel, and which includes information about the load address that the
+ * program interpreter was loaded at, the number of sections, the address the
+ * application was loaded at and so forth.  Here this information is stored in
+ * the array auxvt.  For details see linux/fs/binfmt_elf.c where it calls
+ * NEW_AUX_ENT() a bunch of time....
+ *
+ * Next, we need to find the GOT.  On most arches there is a register pointing
+ * to the GOT, but just in case (and for new ports) I've added some (slow) C
+ * code to locate the GOT for you.
+ *
+ * This code was originally written for SVr4, and there the kernel would load
+ * all text pages R/O, so they needed to call mprotect a zillion times to mark
+ * all text pages as writable so dynamic linking would succeed.  Then when they
+ * were done, they would change the protections for all the pages back again.
+ * Well, under Linux everything is loaded writable (since Linux does copy on
+ * write anyways) so all the mprotect stuff has been disabled.
+ *
+ * Initially, we do not have access to _dl_malloc since we can't yet make
+ * function calls, so we mmap one page to use as scratch space.  Later on, when
+ * we can call _dl_malloc we reuse this this memory.  This is also beneficial,
+ * since we do not want to use the same memory pool as malloc anyway - esp if
+ * the user redefines malloc to do something funky.
+ *
+ * Our first task is to perform a minimal linking so that we can call other
+ * portions of the dynamic linker.  Once we have done this, we then build the
+ * list of modules that the application requires, using LD_LIBRARY_PATH if this
+ * is not a suid program (/usr/lib otherwise).  Once this is done, we can do
+ * the dynamic linking as required, and we must omit the things we did to get
+ * the dynamic linker up and running in the first place.  After we have done
+ * this, we just have a few housekeeping chores and we can transfer control to
+ * the user's application.
