            Bug ID: 23329
           Summary: The __libc_freeres infrastructure is not properly run
                    across DSO boundaries.
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.29
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

  Target Milestone: ---

The __libc_freeres infrastructure is not properly run across DSO boundaries.

In libpthread.so we have shm-directory.c which registers freeit () to free
memory, but this is never called.

Only via the function pointer table does libc.so call nptl_freeres () as a
hack.

We should harmonize the process to make it easy to support for any DSOs
registering free_res functions, and fix the libpthread.so related bug.
