This set includes a number of small improvements for handling the loading
of drivers at runtime using the EAL -d flag.
It limits the loading of files to only those files which end in .so, which
means that one can pass in the whole "drivers/" subfolder from a meson
build and not get an error when DPDK trys to load a .a file.
It also puts in some basic permission checking to ensure that no drivers
are loaded from a world-writable location on the filesystem, which would be
a potential security hole on a mis-configured system.
v3: adjusted commit titles based on Thomas' feedback
skip over any paths which are not relative/absolute - assume any found
from system directories by linker must be secure.
v2: rebased to fix errors on apply
fixed one checkpatch issue.
Bruce Richardson (4):
eal: remove unnecessary null-termination in plugin path
eal: load only shared libs from driver plugin directories
eal: forbid loading drivers from insecure paths
eal: cache last directory permissions checked
