Patch Name: PHSS_15391 Patch Description: s700_800 10.X dld.sl(5) cumulative patch Creation Date: 98/05/19 Post Date: 98/07/24 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.01 10.10 10.20 s800: 10.01 10.10 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.CORE-SHLIBS Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded Critical: No (superseded patches were critical) PHSS_10547: ABORT PHSS_10546: ABORT PHSS_10545: ABORT Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_15391 Symptoms: PHSS_15391: Performance enhancement. Hashtable sharing between dld and ld. 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_10547: dld.sl erroneously report: "out of memory" PHSS_10546: dld.sl erroneously report: "out of memory" PHSS_10545: dld.sl erroneously report: "out of memory" PHSS_10209: Startup performance improvements. PHSS_10208: Startup performance improvements. PHSS_10207: Startup performance improvements. PHSS_8584: 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. 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.

Hashtable sharing between dld and ld. 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.

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_15391 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_15391.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_15391.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_15391. 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_15391.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_15391.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
