[PATCH v2 0/2] kexec-tools: Tweak run-time handling of libxenctrl.so

[PATCH v2 0/2] kexec-tools: Tweak run-time handling of libxenctrl.so

[Eric DeVolder]

This patch is a follow-on to commit 43d3932e "kexec-tools: Perform
run-time linking of libxenctrl.so". This patch addresses feedback
from Daniel Kiper concerning the lack of a dlclose() and the desire
to make xc_dlhandle static, rather than extern.

[PATCH v2 1/2] kexec-tools: Call dlclose() from within __xc_interface_close()

[Eric DeVolder]

This patch is a follow-on to commit 43d3932e "kexec-tools: Perform
run-time linking of libxenctrl.so". This patch addresses feedback
from Daniel Kiper.

In the original patch, the call to dlclose() was omitted, in contrast
to the description in the commit message. This patch inserts the call.
Note that this dynamic linking feature is dependent upon the proper
operation of the RTLD_NODELETE flag to dlopen(), which does work as
advertised on Linux (otherwise the call to dlclose() should be omitted).

I think that you can drop this include too.

extern void *__xc_dlsym(const char *symbol);?

But then, IMO, you should put extern for __xc_interface_open()
and __xc_interface_close() below too. You can do it in separate
patch with Reviewed-by: Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@oracle.com>

Eric, please address Daniel's review and repost this patch as appropriate.
There is no need to repost patch 1/2 as I've applied it.

I did check and this is the only place in kexec-tools that includes this 
header file (it has the prototypes for dlopen/close/sym()). Without this 
header file included, compilation fails. Thus I've left it in.
