Hello Guix!
The other day on IRC Ricardo had the brilliant idea of using the
ld.so cache to avoid the “stat storm” stemming from our long RUNPATHs,
and thus to speed up application startup. As an example, Guile has
9 entries in its RUNPATH and Inkscape has 44 entries.
The first patch changes the loader (1) to look for the cache in
$ORIGIN/../etc/ld.so.cache, and (2) to look for the cache before
looking at RUNPATH entries.
The second patch adds a build phase that creates ‘etc/ld.so.cache’.
It passes ‘ldconfig’ a config file that contains the union of all
the RUNPATH entries of all the executables found in the output at
hand. (It cannot be done in a profile hook because $ORIGIN is
determined by looking at /proc/self/exe, which is the canonical file
name in the store.)
You can see it in action with LD_DEBUG=libs:

Erroneous syscalls are divided by 6; total syscalls divided by 2.7.
As always, this is probably not that big a deal on warm-cache SSD,
but it probably makes a difference on a cold cache, on spinning
disks, and on network file systems.
* Possible improvements
The hard-coded ‘../etc/ld.so.cache’ means that it can only be used
with first-level sub-directories like bin/ and sbin/; it won’t be
used for libexec/guix/guile, for instance, which is a bummer.
Perhaps we should compute the ‘ld.so.cache’ file name “lexically”
instead.
We should also think hard about ways users could be tricked into
loading a malicious ‘ld.so.cache’. That’s also another reason why
“lexical dot-dot” would be safer: we could ensure that only
pre-computed ‘ld.so.cache’ that live in the store are ever loaded.
The ‘ld.so.conf’ file passed to ‘ldconfig’ should ideally contains
the RUNPATH entries _recursively_, such that even indirect
dependencies can be found in cache.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.

Hi!
This new version addresses the shortcomings I mentioned earlier and
other issues reported on IRC:
• ld.so no longer uses “../etc/ld.so.cache”. Instead, it (1) ensures
$ORIGIN is in the store, (2) extracts the store file name, and
(3) appends “/etc/ld.so.cache”. IOW, the ‘ld.so.cache’ is always
resolved relative to the store directory $ORIGIN belongs to, not
relative to $ORIGIN itself.
Thinking about it, it’s a direct translation of the ld.so.cache model
from FHS to the functional model where a system-wide /etc/ld.so.cache
makes no sense.
• ‘make-dynamic-linker-cache’ now creates an ‘ld.so.conf’ that contains
all the dependencies, recursively, as would be returned by ‘ldd’.
The new ‘file-needed/recursive’ procedure returns the list of shared
objects depended on like ‘ldd’.
• ‘make-dynamic-linker-cache’ creates ‘ld.so.conf’ in $TMPDIR rather
than hard-code /tmp, so as to be friendlier to ‘--disable-chroot’
builds (as is currently used on GNU/Hurd).
I’m rather happy and confident with that version. :-)
Feedback welcome!
Ludo’.
Ludovic Courtès (4):
gremlin: Fix typo in docstring.
gremlin: Add 'file-needed/recursive'.
gnu: glibc: Load 'etc/ld.so.cache' in $ORIGIN's store item when
available.
build-system/gnu: Add 'make-dynamic-linker-cache' phase.

Pushed as f85efa86e7690d9181946351631e02b1c20958c9, sans hard-coded
/gnu/store in the patch as reported by Ricardo on IRC and debugging
leftover in gremlin.scm.
Enjoy… and report any issues you may find! :-)
