RE: OpenSSL 1.1.1b tests fail on Solaris - solution and possible fix

Because of the #pragma weak directive the functions are defined multiple times in both libcrypto.a and libssl.a:

libcrypto.a

Many UNDEF:
ct_log.o
[47]    |                   0|                   0|FUNC |WEAK |0    |UNDEF  |OPENSSL_sk_new_null
... and more

One definition from stack.c as you'd expect:
stack.o
[33]	|                1232|                  20|FUNC |WEAK |2    |2      |OPENSSL_sk_new_null

libssl.a has multiple instances also, all UNDEF:
d1_srtp.o
[43]	|                   0|                   0|FUNC |WEAK |0    |UNDEF  |OPENSSL_sk_new_null
s3_lib.o
[107]	|                   0|                   0|FUNC |WEAK |0    |UNDEF  |OPENSSL_sk_new_null
and so on.

>From the linker docs:
B.2.17.1 #pragma weak name
In the form #pragma weak name, the directive makes name a weak symbol. The linker will not complain if it does not find a symbol definition for name. It also does not complain about multiple weak definitions of the symbol. The linker simply takes the first one it encounters.

So when linking with libcrypto.a and libssl.a the first definition is taken which is UNDEF in both cases leading to the error.
This can be fixed in libcrypto.a by making stack.o, lh_stats.o and lhash.o the first files included. It could also be fixed by not defining those pragmas when compiling stack.c, lh_stats.c and lhash.c because they will then be GLOB instead of WEAK and will override all the WEAK definitions.

However there is no suitable fix for libssl.a because those files are not part of that library.

Doing that means that executables that link libcrypto.a before libssl.s are built correctly. However if the link is libssl.a followed by libcrypto.a the UNDEF symbols from libssl.a are still used.

In the shared libraries I see:

libcrypto.so only instance:
[3537]	|             2409672|                  20|FUNC |LOCL |2    |10     |OPENSSL_sk_new_null

Shared libssl.so also one instance:
[2091]	|                   0|                   0|FUNC |WEAK |0    |UNDEF  |OPENSSL_sk_new_null

and it seems that the linker will resolve those correctly.

So it seems to me that the only clean solution is to not define those pragmas when compiling stack.c, lh_stats.c and lhash.c by including a suitable define in the makefiles when building the libraries that is used in safestack.h and lhash.h to omit them.

I see there is also
# elif defined(__SUNPRO_C)
#pragma weak getisax
in crypto\sparcv9cap.c
so maybe that needs consideration too.

John.

This seems to be caused by the ongoing saga documented in issues 6912 and 8102. These functions were declared as weak in 1.1.1b.

safestack.h
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_sk_num
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_sk_value
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_sk_new
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_sk_new_null
...

lhash.h
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_LH_new
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_LH_free
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_LH_insert
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_LH_delete
...

Removing these lines allows all the tests to work. I am building static libraries (no-shared) which is presumably why it works for some people out of the box if they are using shared libraries.

Please advise as to the way forward. I note that one other user (see 8102) has reported this too:

Hi,
Sorry if this should have been posted separately.

When i build openssl1.1.1b on solaris , it is successful. But while verifying the version " openssl version" it fails with below error.
ld.so.1: openssl: fatal: relocation error: file /vobs_tools/prgs/src/openssl/solaris64/bin/openssl: symbol OPENSSL_sk_new_null: referenced symbol not found Killed

The same machine works fine for openssl1.1.1.
So, in 1.1.1b I can observe that OPENSSL_sk_new_null has been defined as below in safestack.h.
pragma weak OPENSSL_sk_new_null
Can this be related ? Am I missing anything while Configure ?

Regards,
John.

This looks like the problem:

ld.so.1: sanitytest: fatal: relocation error: file ../../test/sanitytest: symbol OPENSSL_sk_new_null: referenced symbol not found ../../util/shlib_wrap.sh ../../test/sanitytest => 137 not ok 1 - running sanitytest

#   Failed test 'running sanitytest'
#   at /home/metabld/OpenSSL/openssl-1.1.1b/test/../util/perl/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm line 77.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 1.
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) Failed 1/1 subtests

This results in the same error:
sol-mds-build-01 $ cd apps
sol-mds-build-01 $ ./openssl version
ld.so.1: openssl: fatal: relocation error: file openssl: symbol OPENSSL_sk_new_null: referenced symbol not found

I have built static libraries.

What is the output from:

$ make V=1 TESTS=test_sanity test
