BTW, today I think I've discovered what looks like a prelink bug,
but perhaps we need to bump kMidMemEnd a little bit.
With prelink -R, the libraries are randomized in the selected range of
addresses,
by picking a random number in between the boundaries of the address range and
first
assigning addresses to libraries above that random offset and when there is no
longer any room
above it, starting from the beginning of the range. Unfortunately the code
seems to have
some issues if the random address is chosen close to the end of the range, then
in some
cases some libraries could start before the range, but end after the range.
On one of my boxes there is (only 4 libraries out of 822 have this problem,
only discovered it because gdb is linked against one of them and I've tried to
LD_PRELOAD=libasan.so.0 to gdb so that the debugged program would inherit that):
prelink -pv 2>&1 | grep 0x0000003.*-.*0x0000004
/usr/lib64/libgmlib.so.1.0.7 [0x1ea5b3cf] 0x0000003fffe00000-0x0000004000008460:

0x0000003fffe00000-0x000000400006a258:
while on others none.
So, can kMidMemEnd be slightly incremented above this? Either 0x4fffffffffULL,
or 0x40ffffffffULL (or replace that 0f with 1f, 2f, etc.).
Small model shared libraries can be only up to 2GB in size, so even
0x40ffffffffULL should be big enough for most cases, but 0x4fffffffffULL
could be even safer. I've justed tested and 0x4fffffffffULL results in

0x02008fff6fff 0x00014fff7000 0x0001cfff6fff
and seems to work just fine.
