Post Date:  98/05/12

Hardware Platforms - OS Releases:
	s700: 10.20
	s800: 10.20

Products: N/A

Filesets:
	OS-Core.CORE-SHLIBS

Automatic Reboot?: Yes

Status: General Superseded

Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_14716

Symptoms:
	PHSS_14716:
	Global symbol table implementation. Uninitialized
	memory reference problem fixed.

	PHSS_13625:
	Change erroneous "Out of memory" message to "Unsat symbol."
	Problem with signal handling in shl_load

	PHSS_10765:
	Workstation Additional Core Enhancements for
	HP-UX 10.20 July 1997 -
	The dynamic loader (dld.sl) needs to support OpenGL fast
	procedure calls.

	PHSS_10545:
	dld.sl erroneously report: "out of memory"

	PHSS_10207:
	Startup performance improvements.

	PHSS_8583:
	The dld.sl has been modified to load data & bss as shared
	if an shared library's dl header is marked with the flag
	SHARE_DATA (the dld.sl will load data & bss as private by
	default)

	This patch is released for SYBASE and its customers who
	expects the data & bss of an shared library to be loaded
	as shared if it's SHARE_DATA flag in the dl header is set.
	However this dld.sl will not affect the behavior of any
	shared library that does not have its SHARE_DATA flag
	set in its dl header.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_14716:
	Poor performance with lots of shared libraries.
	Uninitialized memory references.

	PHSS_13625:
	Change erroneous "Out of memory" message to "Unsat symbol."
	Problem with signal handling in shl_load

	PHSS_10765:
	OpenGL fast procedure call support in dynamic loader.

	PHSS_10545:
	dld.sl memory allocator had a boundary condition bug

	PHSS_10207:
	Startup performance improvements.

	PHSS_8583:
	The dld.sl has been modified to load data & bss as shared

Installation Instructions:

	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

	2. Login as root.

	3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

	4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

		cd /tmp
		sh PHSS_14716

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_14716.depot

	5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
	    server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

		swcluster -i -b

	    This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
	    force all clients to be shut down.

	    WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
		     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
		     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
		     serious problems.

	    The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
	    you must specify:

		alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
		source depot path    -  /tmp/PHSS_14716.depot

	    To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
	    "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
	    from the Menubar.

	5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

		- run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
		  the patch on the cluster server.

		- run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
		  the patch on the cluster clients.

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_14716.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
	named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

	Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
	         patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	It is recommended that you move the PHSS_14716.text file to
	/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHSS_14716.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
